Cameco Corporation operates in the materials sector, within the uranium mining industry, focusing on the production and supply of nuclear fuel for the global energy sector.

Headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, the company was formed through the merger of Eldorado Nuclear Limited and the Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation, consolidating uranium production assets and infrastructure into a single entity capable of competing in the international nuclear-fuel market.

Cameco’s core activities include the production and commercialization of uranium products used in nuclear power generation.

Its main areas of activity include:

• Uranium exploration and mining operations.
• Production of uranium concentrate (U3O8).
• Uranium refining and conversion services.
• Commercial supply of nuclear fuel to electricity utilities.

The company serves a global market, supplying nuclear utilities and energy companies in regions such as North America, Europe and Asia.

History and Development

Cameco Corporation was founded in 1988 through the merger of Eldorado Nuclear Limited and the Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation, consolidating Canada’s uranium assets under a unified corporate structure.

During the 1990s, the company expanded its presence in the global uranium market, strengthening relationships with nuclear utilities and increasing its production capacity.

In 1996, Cameco completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), expanding its access to capital markets. The company later listed its shares on the Nasdaq, increasing visibility among international investors.

In recent years, Cameco has continued to invest in uranium production, operational efficiency and long-term supply agreements with nuclear energy producers, while benefiting from renewed global interest in nuclear power as a low-carbon energy source.
