Cameco has agreed to acquire TEPCO Resources’ 5% participating interest in the Cigar Lake Joint Venture for approximately CAD $115.75 million. Upon closing, expected in the third quarter of 2026, Cameco’s ownership stake in the mine will increase to 57.418%, while partner Orano Canada’s stake will rise to 42.582%. The Cigar Lake mine is a tier-one asset with proven and probable reserves of 172.4 million pounds of U3O8 and a 2026 production outlook of 17.5 to 18 million pounds.
