The nuclear fuel cycle

LOGO

Our operations and investments span the nuclear fuel cycle, from exploration to electricity generation.



1
Mining There are three
common ways to mine uranium, depending on the depth of the orebody and the deposits geological characteristics:  

Open pit miningis used if the ore is near the surface. The ore is usually mined using drilling and blasting.  

Underground mining is used if the ore is too deep to make open pit mining economical. Tunnels and shafts provide access to the ore.  

In situ recovery (ISR) does not require large scale excavation. Instead, holes are drilled into the ore and a solution is used to dissolve the
uranium. The solution is pumped to the surface where the uranium is recovered.  1
Milling Ore from open pit and underground mines is processed to extract the uranium and package it as a powder typically referred to as uranium concentrates (U3O8) or yellowcake. The leftover processed rock and other solid waste (tailings) is placed in an engineered
tailings facility.  2
Refining Refining removes the impurities from the uranium concentrate and changes its chemical form to uranium trioxide (UO3).  3
Conversion For light water reactors, the UO3is converted to uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas to prepare it for the next stage of processing. For heavy water reactors like the Candu reactor, the UO3is converted into powdered uranium dioxide (UO2).


4
Enrichment Uranium is
made up of two main isotopes: U-238 and U-235. Only U-235 atoms, which make up 0.7% of natural uranium, are involved in the nuclear reaction (fission). Most of the worlds commercial nuclear reactors require uranium that has an enriched level
of U-235 atoms. The enrichment process increases the concentration of U-235 to between 3% and 5% by
separating U-235 atoms from the U-238. Enriched UF6gas is
then converted to powdered UO2.  5
Fuel manufacturing Natural or enriched UO2is pressed into pellets, which are baked at a high temperature. These are packed into zircaloy or stainless steel tubes, sealed and then assembled into fuel bundles.  6
Generation Nuclear
reactors are used to generate electricity. U-235 atoms in the reactor fuel fission, creating heat that generates steam to drive turbines. The fuel bundles in the reactor need to be replaced as the U-235 atoms are depleted, typically after one or two
years depending upon the reactor type. The used  or spent  fuel is stored or reprocessed. Spent fuel
management The majority of spent fuel is safely stored at the reactor site. A small amount of spent fuel is reprocessed.
The reprocessed fuel is used in some European and Japanese reactors.

How Cameco was formed

Cameco Corporation was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on June 19, 1987.

We were formed when two crown corporations were privatized and their assets merged:



| |  | Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation (uranium mining and milling operations)
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Eldorado Nuclear Limited (uranium mining, refining and conversion operations) (now Canada Eldor Inc.).
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are constraints and restrictions on ownership of Cameco shares set out in our company articles, and a related requirement to maintain offices in
Saskatchewan. These are requirements of the Eldorado Nuclear Limited Reorganization and Divestiture Act (Canada), as amended, and The Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation Reorganization Act, and are described on pages 122 and
123.

We have made the following amendments to our articles:



|     |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|---- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|2002 |  |   increased the maximum share ownership for individual non-residents to 15%
from 5% 
  increased the limit on voting rights of non-residents to 25% from 20%                                                                                                                        
|2003 |  |   allowed the board to appoint new directors between shareholder meetings as
permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act, subject to certain limitations 
  eliminated the requirement for the chairman of the board to be ordinarily resident in the
province of Saskatchewan



We have four main subsidiaries:  

Cameco Europe Ltd. (Cameco Europe), a Swiss company we have 100% ownership of through subsidiaries  

Our wholly owned subsidiaries Cameco Bruce Holdings Inc., a Canadian company, and Cameco Bruce Holdings II Inc., an Ontario company, which collectively
own a 31.6% limited partnership interest in BPLP, an Ontario limited partnership  

Joint Venture Inkai Limited Liability Partnership (Inkai), a limited liability partnership in Kazakhstan, which we own a 60% interest in. We do not have any other subsidiaries that are material, either individually or collectively.


For more information You can find more information about Cameco on SEDAR (sedar.com), EDGAR (sec.gov) and on our website (cameco.com/investors). See our most recent management proxy circular for additional information, including how our directors and officers are compensated and any loans to them, principal holders of our securities, and
securities authorized for issue under our equity compensation plans. We expect the circular for our May 2012 annual meeting of shareholders to be available in April 2012. See our 2011 financial statements and 2011 MD&A for additional financial information.

Demand

The nuclear energy industry addressed significant challenges in 2011 related to events at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. On March 11, an earthquake and tsunami in Japan caused
cooling systems at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant to fail, and radioactive materials were released. This reduced public confidence in nuclear power in some countries. The outlook for the industry remains uncertain for the near to medium
term. In the long-term, however, we expect demand for uranium to grow.

The demand for U3O8is directly linked to the level of electricity generated by nuclear power plants.

World annual uranium fuel consumption has increased from 75 million pounds U3O8in 1980 to an estimated 165 million pounds in 2011. We expect global uranium consumption to increase to about
175 million pounds in 2012. By 2021, we expect world uranium consumption to be about 230 million pounds per year, reflecting an average annual growth rate of about 3%.

We expect world demand of approximately 2.2 billion pounds over the next 10 years, which includes both world consumption and strategic inventory building. By 2021, we expect world uranium demand to be
about 250 million pounds per year, an average annual growth rate of about 3%.

The demand for UF6conversion services is directly linked to the level of electricity
generated by light water moderated nuclear power plants.

The demand for UO2conversion services is linked to the level of electricity generated by
heavy water moderated nuclear power plants such as Candu reactors.

We estimate world consumption of UF6and natural UO2conversion services was about 63 million kgU in 2011. We expect world consumption of UF6and natural UO2conversion services to increase by about 6% in 2012.

Supply

Uranium supply sources include primary production(production from mines
that are currently in commercial operation) and secondary supply sources(excess inventories, uranium made available from defence stockpiles and the decommissioning of nuclear weapons, re-enriched depleted uranium tails, and used reactor fuel
that has been reprocessed).

|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 9 | 



---

To meet global demand over the next 10 years, we expect:



| |  | 65% of global uranium supply to come from existing primary production
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 15% will come from existing secondary supply sources
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  | the remaining 20% will come from new sources of supply.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------

Primary production

While the uranium production industry is international in scope, there
are only a small number of companies operating in relatively few countries. In addition, there are barriers to entry and the lead time for new uranium production can be as long as 10 years or more, depending on the deposit type and location.

We estimate world mine production in 2011 was about 143 million pounds U3O8, up 2% from 140 million pounds in 2010:



| |  | 93% of the estimated world production came from eight countries: Kazakhstan (36%), Canada (17%), Australia (11%), Niger (9%), Russia (6%), Namibia
(6%), Uzbekistan (5%) and the US (3%)
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 61% of the estimated world production was marketed by five producers. We accounted for about 16% of that production (22 million pounds).
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secondary sources

Uranium consumption has outstripped uranium production every year since 1985.

A number of
secondary sources have covered the shortfall, but most of these sources are finite and will not meet long-term needs:



| |  | Uranium from dismantled Russian nuclear weapons is the largest current source of secondary supply. We except deliveries from this source to end in
2013, when the Russian HEU commercial agreement expires.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The US government makes some of its inventories available to the market, although in much smaller quantities.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Utilities, mostly in Europe and some in Japan and Russia, use reprocessed uranium and plutonium from used reactor fuel.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Re-enriched depleted uranium tails are also generated using excess enrichment capacity.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uranium from nuclear disarmament

In
February 1993, the United States and Russia signed an agreement to manage the sale of highly enriched uranium (HEU) derived from dismantling Russian nuclear weapons (Russian HEU agreement). The agreement allows Russia to dilute 500 tonnes of HEU
derived from dismantled weapons, and deliver it to the US as low enriched uranium suitable for use in nuclear power plants (disarmament LEU).Russia has implemented its plans to dilute the 500 tonnes, which is expected to be completed by
2013.

This is equivalent to a total of about 400 million pounds of natural uranium as U3O8(disarmament uranium). About 354 million pounds of disarmament uranium had been delivered as of the end of 2011.

Russian HEU commercial agreement

In March 1999, we and other members of a consortium of western companies signed the Russian HEU commercial agreement with JSC Techsnabexport (Tenex), the commercial arm of the Russian Ministry for Atomic
Energy. Under the agreement, the western companies were granted options to purchase a majority of the disarmament uranium. We exercised our options and have been receiving deliveries of disarmament uranium. We will receive the remaining
17 million pounds of disarmament uranium to be delivered to us under the agreement from 2012 to 2013.

Trade restraints and policies

The sale of disarmament uranium into the US market is regulated by the USEC Privatization Act, which imposes an annual quota on the
sale of disarmament uranium. The 2012 quota is 20 million pounds, which is the maximum level and the same level as last year.

The US had
suspension agreements with some countries that limited access to the US market, as part of uranium anti-dumping proceedings in the early 1990s. Only the suspension agreement with Russia is still in effect.

In February 2008, the US and Russia amended the agreement, allowing Russia to directly supply additional uranium



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 10 | 



---

to US utilities in very low annual amounts from 2011 to 2013. Russia can also supply uranium for initial cores in new US reactors. Once the Russian HEU commercial agreement ends, the annual
amount increases to 13 million pounds U3O8equivalent from 2014 to 2020.

The US restrictions do not affect the sale of Russian uranium to other countries. About 75% of world uranium demand is from utilities in countries that
are not affected by the US restrictions. Utilities in some countries, however, adopt policies that limit the amount of Russian uranium they will buy. The Euratom Supply Agency in Europe must approve all uranium related contracts for members of the
EU, and limits the use of nuclear fuel supplies from any one source to maintain security of supply (historically this was an informal level of about 20%).

Uranium from US inventories

We estimate that the US Department of
Energy has an inventory of approximately 144 million pounds U3O8equivalent of
surplus uranium. We expect this uranium will be available to the market over the next 25 years.

In March 2008, the
US Department of Energy issued a policy statement and a general framework for managing this inventory, including the need to dispose of it without disrupting the commercial markets. In December of that year, it released the Excess Uranium
Inventory Management Plan,which stated that it will dispose of the surplus annually, in amounts of 10% or less of annual US nuclear fuel requirements. It can exceed this limit in certain situations, however (during initial core loads for new
reactors, for example). It indicated less than 3 million pounds U3O8would enter
the market in 2009, and that there would be a gradual rampup to 5 million pounds U3O8by 2013. It
also planned to make another 20 million pounds available for initial cores for new US reactors beginning in 2010. While the 20 million pounds are available, utilities may find other ways to fulfill core needs and not use this material.

In 2011, the US Department of Energy made a total of 4.2 million pounds U3O8equivalent available to USEC Inc. (USEC) and another contractor, which was then made available in the spot market, in
return for accelerated cleanup work at USECs gaseous diffusion plant in Kentucky. USEC, an American company, supplies services to enrich uranium at this plant.

In 2011, the US Department of Energy authorized the transfer of up to 1.2 million pounds U3O8equivalent per quarter (up to 4.2 million pounds annually) from its uranium inventories to fund accelerated clean-up activities at the Kentucky gaseous diffusion plant. Starting
with the sale of about 0.9 million pounds U3O8equivalent in the first quarter of 2012, the transfers are scheduled to
run until the end of the third quarter of 2013. The industry expects the US Department of Energy to adhere to its limitations, with total annual transfers under all its programs limited to 10% of the domestic US market (about 5.2 million pounds
U3O8equivalent).

Conversion services

We control about 25% of world UF6conversion capacity and we are the only commercial supplier of natural UO2.

Marketing

We sell uranium and fuel services (as uranium concentrates,
UO2, UF6, conversion services or fuel fabrication) to nuclear utilities in
Belgium, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the US. We are the only commercial supplier of UO2to Candu reactors operated in Canada.

In June 2010, the government of Canada signed a civil nuclear co-operation agreement with India to export nuclear technology, equipment and uranium to support Indias growing nuclear energy industry.
Canada is the eighth nation to sign such an agreement with India since the Nuclear Suppliers Group lifted a 34-year ban on nuclear co-operation with India in 2008. Licensing arrangements for these exports still have to be negotiated by these two
governments and discussions are ongoing.

We are in discussions with India to provide uranium for their growing reactor program.

In 2010, we signed two long-term agreements with Chinese utilities to supply more than 50 million pounds of uranium. In February 2012, the
governments of Canada and China announced an agreement on the terms of a protocol that would facilitate the export of Canadian uranium to China. Work continues to finalize the text of the



|                             |  |  |         |

|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 11 | 



---

protocol which will then need to be officially ratified by both countries, a process the Canadian government has indicated will take place within the next few months.

Once the protocol is ratified and the administrative arrangements are finalized, actual uranium trade can take place.

Uranium is not traded in meaningful quantities on a commodity exchange. Utilities buy the majority of their uranium and fuel services products under
long-term contracts with suppliers, and meet the rest of their needs on the spot market.

Our sales commitments

In 2011, 37% of our U3O8sales were to five customers.

We currently have
commitments to supply more than 290 million pounds of
U3O8under long-term contracts with 54 customers worldwide. Our five largest customers account for 47% of these commitments,
and 38% of our committed sales volume is attributed to purchasers in the Americas (US, Canada and Latin America), 36% in Asia and 26% in Europe. We are heavily committed under long-term uranium contracts through 2016, so we are being selective when
considering new commitments.

Our purchase commitments

We participate in the uranium spot market from time to time, including making spot purchases to take advantage of opportunities to place the material into higher priced contracts. We determine the
appropriate extent of our spot market activity based on the current spot price and various factors relating to our business. In addition to being a source of profit, this activity provides insight into the underlying market fundamentals and supports
our sales activities. We have also bought uranium under long-term contracts, and may do so again in the future. At December 31, 2011, we had firm commitments to buy 23 million pounds of uranium equivalent from 2012 to 2014. Seventeen of
the 23 million pounds will come from deliveries under the Russian HEU commercial agreement, which runs through 2013.

Our contracting
strategy

Our extensive portfolio of long-term sales contracts  and the long-term, trusting relationships we have with our customers
 are core strengths for us.

Because we deliver large volumes of uranium every year, our net earnings and operating cash flows are
affected by changes in the uranium price. Our contracting strategy is to secure a solid base of earnings and cash flow by maintaining a balanced contract portfolio that maximizes our realized price. Market prices are influenced by the fundamentals
of supply and demand, geopolitical events, disruptions in planned supply and other market factors. Contract terms usually reflect market conditions at the time the contract is accepted, with deliveries beginning several years in the future.

Our current uranium contracting strategy is to sign contracts with terms of 10 years or more that include mechanisms to protect us when
market prices decline, and allow us to benefit when market prices go up. Our portfolio includes a mix of fixed-price and market-related contracts, which we target at a 40:60 ratio. Fixed-price contracts are typically based on the industry long-term
price indicator at the time the contract is accepted, adjusted for inflation to the time of delivery. Market-related contracts may be based on either the spot price or the long-term price as quoted at the time of delivery, and often include floor
prices adjusted for inflation and some include ceiling prices also adjusted for inflation.

This is a balanced approach that reduces the
volatility of our future earnings and cash flow, and that we believe delivers the best value to shareholders over the long term. It is also consistent with the contracting strategy of our customers. This strategy has allowed us to add increasingly
favourable contracts to our portfolio that will enable us to benefit from any increases in market prices in the future.

The majority of our
contracts include a supply interruption clause that gives us the right to reduce, on a pro rata basis, defer or cancel deliveries if there is a shortfall in planned production or in deliveries under the Russian HEU commercial agreement. We have
deferred a portion of the 2012 deliveries for five years.

Our older sales contracts allow the purchaser to adjust the amount of uranium to be
delivered from year to year within



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- |

---

a specified range. Our newer contracts generally do not offer this.

Volumes and
pricing

The Ux Consulting estimate for global spot market sales in 2011 is about 55 million pounds, 2% above the
previous record high of 54 million pounds in 2009 and accounting for 33% of annual consumption (versus about 50 million pounds of U3O8in 2010). Long-term contracting in 2011 was about 120 million pounds of U3O8, compared to 250 million pounds of U3O8in 2010.

The industry average spot price (TradeTech and Ux Consulting) on December 31, 2011 was $51.88 (US) per pound
U3O8, or 17% lower than the December 31, 2010 average of $62.25 (US).

The industry average long-term price (TradeTech and Ux Consulting) was $62 (US) per pound U3O8on December 31, 2011, or 6% lower than the December 31, 2010 average of $66.00 (US).

Since the nuclear incident in Japan (Fukushima), spot and term prices have experienced consistent downward pressure. Industry demand projections being
revised downward and potential inventory coming to the market are the major contributing factors, prompted by immediate and expected plant closures in countries such as Germany and Japan.

Fuel services

The majority of our fuel services contracts are at a fixed price per kgU,
adjusted for inflation, and reflect the market at the time the contract is accepted.

For conversion services, we compete with three other
primary commercial suppliers, in addition to the secondary supplies described above, to meet global demand.

We have a
similar marketing strategy for UF6conversion services. We
sell our conversion services to utilities in the Americas, Europe and Asia and primarily through long-term contracts. We currently have UF6conversion services commitments of more than 82 million kilograms of uranium under long-term contracts with 49
customers worldwide. Our five largest customers account for 37% of these commitments, and of our committed UF6conversion services volume, 57% is attributed to purchasers in the Americas, 24% in Asia and 19% in Europe.

Electricity business

BPLP leases and operates four Candu nuclear reactors that have the
capacity to provide about 18% of Ontarios electricity.

It receives a reliable stream of revenue from financial contracts and sells
electricity on the open spot market. Spot market prices are determined by bids from suppliers and buyers that reflect changes in supply and demand by the hour. In 2011, 54% of its output was sold under financial contracts.

BPLP also trades electricity and related contracts as part of its risk management activities to hedge output against exposure to low spot prices.

Demand for electricity in Ontario has been eroding. Wholesale demand has declined significantly since 2004. Ontario demand in 2011 was down
by 0.5% or 0.7 TWh compared to 2010. While this decrease signals continued inertia in the economy, we believe it will take some time for demand to return to prior levels.

BPLP has an agreement with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) that supports output from the B reactors with a floor price (currently $50.18/MWh) adjusted annually for inflation. The floor price mechanism
and any related payments to BPLP for the output from each B reactor will expire on a date specified in the agreement. The expiry dates are December 31, 2015 for unit B6, December 31, 2016 for unit B5, December 31, 2017 for unit B7 and
December 31, 2019 for unit B8. Revenue is recognized monthly, based on the positive difference between the floor price and the spot price. BPLP does not have to repay the revenue from the agreement with the OPA, if the floor price for the
particular year exceeds the average spot price for that year. The agreement also provides for payment if the Independent Electricity System Operator reduces BPLPs generation because Ontario baseload generation is higher than required. The
amount of the reduction is considered deemed generation, and BPLP is paid either the spot price



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- |

---

or the floor price, whichever is higher.

Sales to BPLP and Bruce Power A Limited Partnership (BALP) are a substantial portion of our fuel manufacturing business and an
important part of our UO2business.

Nuclear power stations have higher operational, maintenance, waste and decommissioning costs than other methods of generating electricity. They also
require more initial capital for development because of the complexity of the technical processes that underlie nuclear power generation, and the additional design, security and safety precautions to protect the public from potential risks
associated with nuclear operations.

The relatively low cost of nuclear fuel compared to fossil fuel offsets these costs. In general,
BPLPs nuclear stations have a lower overall operating cost per megawatt-hour of electricity produced than facilities that use fossil fuels.

McArthur River is the worlds largest high-grade uranium mine, and Key Lake is the largest uranium mill in the world.
 Ore grades at the McArthur River mine are 100 times the world average, which means

About the McArthur River property

Location

Near Toby Lake in northern
Saskatchewan, 620 kilometres north of Saskatoon. The mine site is one kilometre long and half a kilometre wide.

Accessibility

Access to the property is by an all-weather gravel road and by air. Supplies are transported by truck from Saskatoon and elsewhere. There
is a 1.6 kilometre unpaved air strip and an air terminal one kilometre east of the mine site, on the surface lease.

Saskatoon, a major
population centre south of the McArthur River property, has highway and air links to the rest of North America.

Leases

Surface lease

We acquired the right to
use and occupy the lands necessary to mine the deposit under a surface lease agreement with the province of Saskatchewan. The most recent agreement was signed in November 2010. It covers 1,425 hectares and has a term of 33 years.

We are required to report annually on the status of the environment, land development and progress on northern employment and business development.

Mineral lease

We have the
right to mine the deposit under ML-5516, granted to us by the province of Saskatchewan. The lease covers 1,380 hectares and expires in March 2014. We have the right to renew the lease for further 10-year terms.

Mineral claims

A mineral claim gives us
the right to explore for minerals and to apply for a mineral lease. There are 21 mineral claims, totalling 83,438 hectares, surrounding the deposit. We have title to all of these claims until 2018.

Climate

The climate is typical of the
continental sub-arctic region of northern Saskatchewan. Summers are short and cool even though daily temperatures can sometimes reach above 30°C. The mean daily temperature for the coldest month

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- |

---

is below -20°C, and winter daily temperatures can reach below -40°C.

Setting

The deposit is in the southeastern portion of the Athabasca basin in northern Saskatchewan, within the southwest part of the Churchill
structural province of the Canadian Shield. The topography and environment are typical of the taiga forested lands in the Athabasca basin.

Geology

The crystalline basement rocks
underlying the deposit are members of the Aphebian-age Wollaston Domain, metasedimentary sequence, and consist of two distinct parts:



| |  | a hanging wall pelitic sequence of cordierite and graphite bearing pelitic and psammopelitic gneiss with minor meta-arkose and calc-silicate gneisses
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | a sequence consisting of quartzite and silicified meta-arkose and rare pelitic gneisses.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are unconformably overlain by flat lying, unmetamorphosed sandstones and conglomerates of the Helikian Athabasca Group. These sediments consist of
the A, B, C and D units of the Manitou Falls Formation, and a basal conglomerate containing pebbles and cobbles of quartzite. The sandstone is over 500 metres thick in the deposit area.

Mineralization

McArthur Rivers mineralization is structurally controlled by a
northeast-southwest trending reverse fault (the P2 fault), which dips 40-65 degrees to the southeast. The fault has thrust a wedge of basement rock into the overlying sandstone. There is a vertical displacement of more than 80 metres at the
northeast end of the fault, which decreases to 60 metres at the southwest end.

There are four zones of delineated mineral reserves (zones 1
to 4). Six zones contain mineral resources (zones A and B and parts of zones 1, 2, 3 and 4). The width of the ore varies. The main part of the orebodies, generally at the upper part of the wedge, averages 12.7 metres in width and attains a maximum
width of 28 metres (zone 2). The height of the orebodies ranges from 50 metres to 120 metres.

Zone 2 is divided into four
panels (panels 1, 2, 3 and 5). Panel 5 represents the upper portion of zone 2, overlying part of the other panels.

Five of the six
mineralized zones are in sandstone and basement rock along the faulted edge of the basement wedge. Zone 2 sits in structurally disrupted basement rock in a unique area of the deposit, where a massive footwall quartzite unit lies close to the main
fault zone.

Although all of the rocks at McArthur River are altered to some degree, the alteration is greatest in or near faults that are
often associated with mineralization. Chloritization is common and most intense within a metre of mineralization in the pelitic hanging wall basement rocks above the P2 fault. The predominant alteration characteristic of the sandstone is pervasive
silicification, which increases in intensity 375 metres below the surface, and continues to the unconformity. This brittle sandstone is strongly fractured along the path of the main fault zone, resulting in poor ground conditions and high
permeability to water.

In general, the high-grade mineralization, characterized by botryoidal uraninite masses and subhedral uraninite
aggregates, constitutes the earliest phase of mineralization in the deposit. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, and galena were also deposited during the initial mineralizing event. Later stage, remobilized uraninite occurs as disseminations, veinlets, and
fracture coatings within chlorite breccia zones, and along the margins of silt beds in the Athabasca sandstone.

About the McArthur River mine

McArthur River is a developed mineral property with sufficient surface rights to meet future mining operation needs for the current mineral reserves.

We began construction and development of the McArthur River mine in 1997 and completed it on schedule. Mining began in December 1999 and commercial
production on November 1, 2000.

Our mine production comes from zone 2 panels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and the lower area of zone 4. We started
mining the lower area of zone 4 at the end of 2010. In 2011, we began production from the second raisebore chamber in zone 2, panel 5.

Permits

We need three permits to operate the McArthur River mine:



| |  | Uranium Mine Facility Operating Licence  renewed in 2008 and expires on October 31, 2013 (from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
(CNSC))
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Approval to Operate Pollutant Control Facilities  renewed in 2009 and expires on October 31, 2014 (from the Saskatchewan Ministry of
Environment)
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Permit to Operate Waterworks  renewed in 2011 and expires on April 30, 2012 (from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment).
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 20 |

Infrastructure

Surface facilities are 550 metres above sea level. The site includes:





an underground mine with three shafts: one to move workers, material and waste rock and for fresh air ventilation, one for mine exhaust air ventilation, and one for fresh air ventilation and an emergency
exit  

waste rock stockpiles  

a minewater treatment plant and ponds  

a freshwater pump house  

a powerhouse




electrical substations  

standby electrical generators  

maintenance and warehousing facilities  

freeze plant  

a concrete batch plant  

an administration building  

a workforce residence  

an ore loadout building.






Water, power and heat

Toby Lake, which is nearby and easy to access, has enough water to satisfy all water requirements. The site is connected to the provincial
power grid, and it has standby generators in case there is an interruption in grid power.

McArthur River operates throughout the year despite
cold winter conditions. During the winter, we heat the fresh air necessary to ventilate the underground workings using propane-fired burners.

Employees

Employees are recruited first
from communities in the area and then from major Saskatchewan population centres, like Saskatoon.

Mining method

We use a number of innovative methods and techniques to mine the McArthur River deposit.

Ground freezing

The sandstone that overlays the deposit and basement rocks is
water-bearing, with large volumes of water under significant pressure. We use ground freezing to form an impermeable wall around the area being mined. This prevents the water in the sandstone from entering the mine, and helps stabilize weak rock
formations.

In 2009, we developed an innovative, cathedral-shaped freezewall around zone 2, panel 5, allowing us to develop tunnels above and
below the orebody. We expect this innovation will allow us to continue using raisebore mining as the main mining method at McArthur River and improve production efficiencies as we transition to other areas of the mine.

Raisebore mining

Raisebore mining is an
innovative non-entry approach that we adapted to meet the unique challenges at McArthur River. It involves:



| |  | drilling a series of overlapping holes through the ore zone from a raisebore chamber in waste rock above the ore
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | collecting the broken ore at the bottom of the raises using line-of-sight remote-controlled scoop trams, and transporting it to a grinding circuit
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | filling each raisebore hole with concrete once mining is complete
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | removing the equipment and filling the entire chamber with concrete when all the rows of raises in a chamber are complete
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | starting the process again with the next raisebore chamber.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

We have successfully used the raisebore mining method to extract about 210 million pounds (100% basis) since we began mining in 1999.

We may also use boxhole boring and blasthole stoping in other areas of the mine.

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 21 | 



---

Blasthole stoping

Blasthole stoping involves establishing drill access above the ore and extraction access below the ore. The area between the upper and lower access levels (the stope) is then drilled off and blasted. The
broken rock and ore are collected on the lower level and removed by line-of-sight, remote-controlled scoop trams, then transported to a grinding circuit. Once a stope is mined out, it is backfilled with concrete to maintain ground stability and
allow the next stope in sequence to be mined. This mining method has been used extensively in the mining industry, including for mining uranium.

Blasthole stoping is being evaluated for the recovery of small isolated, lower grade ore zones away from the freezewalls and where raisebore or boxhole boring is uneconomic or impractical. We mined our
first blasthole stope in the fourth quarter of 2011, in lower zone 4, with good productivity.

We plan to test the method again in 2012.

Boxhole boring

Given our
success with the cathedral-shaped freezewall around zone 2, panel 5, the use of boxhole boring in our mine plan has been significantly narrowed in scope. We expect to be able to continue using raisebore mining as our main mining method for McArthur
River.

Boxhole boring is similar to the raisebore method, but the drilling machine is located below the orebody, so development is not
required above the orebody. This method is currently being used at only a few mines around the world, but has not been used for uranium mining.

Boxhole boring poses some technical challenges. We have completed four test raises in waste, and plan to complete four test raises in ore in 2012.
However, we expect it will only be used as a secondary method, in areas where we determine raiseboring is not feasible. Boxhole boring may not be as productive as the raisebore method, but we will be able to determine this more accurately once we
have fully developed and tested the method at McArthur River.

Initial processing

We carry out initial processing of the extracted ore at McArthur River:



| |  | the underground circuit grinds the ore and mixes it with water to form a slurry
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the slurry is pumped 680 metres to the surface and stored in one of four ore slurry holding tanks
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | it is blended and thickened, removing excess water
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  | the final slurry, which ranges in grade from 15 to 30% uranium, is pumped into transport truck containers and shipped to Key Lake mill on an 80
kilometre all-weather road.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contaminated water from this process, including water from underground operations, is treated
on the surface. The extra treated water we do not need is released into the environment.

Tailings

McArthur River does not have a tailings management facility because it ships the ore slurry to Key Lake for milling.

Waste

The waste rock piles are confined
to a small footprint on the surface lease. These are separated into three categories:



| |  | clean rock (includes mine development waste, crushed waste, and various piles for concrete aggregate and backfill)
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | mineralized waste (>0.03%
U3O8)  stored on engineered lined pads
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | waste with acid-generating potential  stored on engineered lined pads.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Water inflows

Production was
temporarily suspended on April 6, 2003, as increased water inflow due to a rock fall in a new development area (located just above the 530 metre level) began to flood portions of the mine. We resumed mining in July 2003 and sealed off the
excess water inflow in July 2004.



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 22 | 



---

In November 2008, there was a small water inflow in the lower zone 4 development area on the
590 metre level. We captured and controlled the inflow, and did not have to alter our mining plan. We completed a freezewall in this area in 2010, and are now mining in the area.

Pumping capacity and treatment limits

Our standard for this project is to secure pumping
capacity of at least one and a half times the estimated maximum sustained inflow. We review our dewatering system and requirements at least once a year and before we begin work on any new zone. We believe we have sufficient pumping, water treatment
and surface storage capacity to handle the estimated maximum sustained inflow.

Production



| |  | Forecast: 18.7 million pounds of U3O8per year until 2020 (our share will be 13.1 million pounds). After that, it declines until 2036.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 2011: 20 million pounds of U3O8was produced by milling McArthur River ore at Key Lake (our share was 13.9 million pounds). Average mill metallurgical recovery was 98.7%.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2010, the CNSC approved an amendment to our operating licence for McArthur River, giving us flexibility in the annual licensed production limit,
similar to that received at Key Lake in 2009. The McArthur River mine can produce up to 21 million pounds (100% basis) per year as long as average annual production does not exceed 18.7 million pounds. If production is lower than
18.7 million pounds in any year, we can produce more in future years until we recover the shortfall. We still have the opportunity to recover about 3.5million pounds (100% basis) in past production shortfalls.

Recent activity

In 2011, we continued
mining the lower mining area of zone 4. We removed abandoned freeze pipes from the new production chamber and began production from the second raisebore chamber in zone 2, panel 5. We have completed production from the first chamber and
are developing the third through draft and fill.

In 2012, we will continue the drilling to install the freezewall required to bring the upper
mining area of zone 4 into production. We expect to start freezing upper zone 4 in 2013 and begin production from this area in 2014.

We
expect to use raisebore mining in this area, applying the ground freezing experience we gained in zone 2, panel 5. This should significantly improve production efficiencies compared to boxhole boring.

In addition to the exploration work discussed below, we advanced feasibility work on the McArthur River extension project this year. This is a
multi-year project to safely expand the underground mine and develop new mining areas. Our plan is to:



| |  | increase average annual production at the mine from 18.7 million pounds (100% basis) to 22 million pounds (100% basis)
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | construct the infrastructure necessary to support production at this level
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | further delineate mineral resources to the north and south of the current mining operations.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An environmental assessment is required for the potential increase in production. Other work on this project will be approved through regular licensing
activities.

Key Lake mill

Location

In northern Saskatchewan, 570 kilometres north of Saskatoon. The site is 9
kilometres long and 5 kilometres wide. It is connected to McArthur River by an 80 kilometre all-weather road. There is a 1.6 kilometre unpaved air strip and an air terminal on the east edge of the site.

Permits

We need three permits to
operate the Key Lake mill:



| |  | Uranium Mine Facility Operating Licence renewed in 2008 and expires on October 31, 2013 (from the CNSC)
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Approval to Operate Pollutant Control Facilities  renewed in 2009 and expires on November 30, 2014 (from the Saskatchewan Ministry of
Environment)
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Permit to Operate Waterworks  renewed in 2009 and expires on November 30, 2014 (from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment)
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In June 2009, the CNSC amended our operating licence for Key Lake, giving us flexibility in annual
licensed production. The Key Lake mill can produce up to 20.4 million pounds U3O8per year as
long as average annual production does not exceed 18.7 million pounds. If production is lower than 18.7 million pounds in any year, we can produce more in future years until we recover the shortfall. We still have the opportunity to
recover about 2.5 million pounds (100% basis) in past production shortfalls. This also gives us the flexibility to avoid having to restart the mill in cold winter temperatures.

After the mill is revitalized, annual production will depend mainly on mine production. We are continuing to plan for annual production of 18.7 million pounds (100% basis) for the next few years.

Supply

Our share of
McArthur River ore is milled at Key Lake. We do not have a formal toll milling agreement with the Key Lake joint venture.

In June 1999,
the Key Lake joint venture (us and UEM) entered into a toll milling agreement with AREVA Resources Canada Inc. (AREVA) to process their total share of McArthur River ore. The terms of the agreement (as amended in January 2001) include the following:



| |  | processing is at cost, plus a toll milling fee
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  | the Key Lake joint venture owners are responsible for decommissioning the Key Lake mill and for certain capital costs, including the costs of any
tailings management associated with milling AREVAs share of McArthur River ore.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the UEM distribution in 2009
(see History on page 17 for more information), we made the following changes to the agreement:



| |  | the fees and expenses related to AREVAs pro-rata share of ore produced just before the UEM distribution (16.234%  the first ore stream)
have not changed. AREVA is not responsible for any capital or decommissioning costs related to the first ore stream.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the fees and expenses related to AREVAs pro-rata share of ore produced as a result of the UEM distribution (an additional 13.961%  the
second ore stream) have not changed. AREVAs responsibility for capital and decommissioning costs related to the second ore stream are, however, as a Key Lake joint venture owner under the original agreement.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The agreement was amended again in 2011 and now requires:



| |  | milling of the first ore stream at the Key Lake mill until May 31, 2028
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | milling of the second ore stream at the Key Lake mill for the entire life of the McArthur River project.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Process

The Key Lake mill uses a seven-step process:



| |  | blend McArthur River ore with low grade mineralized material to lower the grade
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | dissolve the uranium using a leaching circuit
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  | clarify the uranium in solution using a counter current decantation circuit
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | concentrate it using a solvent extraction circuit
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  | precipitate it with ammonia
|- |  | ---------------------------



| |  | thicken, dewater and dry it
|- |  | ---------------------------



| |  | package it as 98%
U3O8(yellowcake).
|- |  | -----------------------------------

Waste rock

There are five large rock stockpiles at the Key Lake site:



| |  | three contain non-mineralized waste rock. These will be decommissioned when the site is closed.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | two contain low-grade mineralized material. These are used to lower the grade of the McArthur River ore before it enters the milling circuit.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treatment of effluent

We modified Key Lakes effluent treatment process to reduce concentrations of molybdenum and selenium discharged into the environment, as required by our operating licence. Release of both metals to
the environment is now controlled at reduced concentrations.

Tailings capacity

There are two tailings management facilities at the Key Lake site:



| |  | an above-ground impoundment facility, where tailings are stored within compacted till embankments. We have not deposited tailings here since 1996, and
are looking at several options for decommissioning this facility.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the Deilmann pit, which was mined out in the 1990s. Tailings from processing McArthur River ore are deposited in the Deilmann tailings management
facility (TMF).
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At current production rates, the licensed capacity of the Deilmann TMF is about six years, assuming only
minor losses in storage capacity because of sloughing from the pitwalls. Significant sloughing may constrain McArthur River production.

In
the past, sloughing of material from the pitwalls has reduced tailings capacity. Studies show that stabilizing and reducing water levels in the pit enhances the stability of the pitwalls, which reduces the risk of pitwall sloughing. We have doubled
our dewatering treatment capacity, allowing us to stabilize the water level in the pit. This water level has been reduced gradually over the past three and a half years.

In 2009, regulators approved our plan for the long-term stabilization of the Deilmann TMF pitwalls. We are implementing the plan, and expect it will take approximately three years to complete the work.

In 2011, we:



| |  | completed the detailed design for the stabilization of the Deilmann TMF pitwalls
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | relocated the infrastructure necessary to allow us to flatten the slope of the pitwalls
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | continued our work on the environmental assessment for the Key Lake extension project.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2012, we expect to:



| |  | begin to flatten the slope of the Deilmann TMF pitwalls
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  | advance the environmental assessment for the Key Lake extension project.We plan to submit the draft environmental impact statement to the
regulators by the end of the second quarter. Comments on the draft are expected before year end.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have assessed options
for long-term storage of tailings at Key Lake. We are proceeding with the environmental assessment to support an application for regulatory approval to deposit tailings in the Deilmann TMF to a much higher level. Once we receive approval, this would
provide us with enough tailings capacity to potentially mill a

volume equal to all the known mineral reserves and resources from the McArthur River operation and additional capacity to toll mill ore from other regional deposits.

Mill revitalization

The Key Lake mill
began operating in 1983. We have a revitalization plan to maintain and increase its annual uranium production capability to up to 25 million pounds. Our initial work is in three areas:



| |  | operational upgrades upgrading circuits with new technology to simplify operations, increasing annual production capacity and improving
environmental performance. As part of this plan, we replaced the acid, steam and oxygen plants. At the end of 2011, construction of all three plants was complete. The steam plant was commissioned at year end and the oxygen plant was commissioned in
early 2012. We have started commissioning the acid plant. Also, foundations are being installed so a new electrical substation and calciner can be installed.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | treatment of effluent  completed
|- |  | ---------------------------------



| |  | increase in tailings capacity  see Tailings capacity, above.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

We may make other changes to the mill, depending on the results of studies.

Decommissioning
and financial assurances

In 2003, we prepared a preliminary decommissioning plan for both McArthur River and Key Lake, which were
approved by the CNSC and the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment. In 2008, when we renewed our CNSC licence, we revised the accompanying preliminary decommissioning cost estimates. These documents include our estimated cost for
implementing the decommissioning plan and addressing known environmental liabilities.

We, along with our joint venture partner, posted
letters of credit as financial assurances with the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment to cover the amounts in the 2008 preliminary decommissioning cost estimates($36.1 million for McArthur River and $120.7 million for Key Lake).

Exploration, drilling and estimates

The original McArthur River resource estimates were derived from surface diamond drilling from 1980 to 1992. In 1988 and 1989, this drilling first revealed significant uranium mineralization. By 1992, we
had delineated the mineralization over 1,700 metres at between 530 to 640 metres. Data included assay results from 42 drillholes. The very high grade found in the drillholes justified the development of an underground exploration project in 1993.

In total, exploration drilling of the McArthur River deposit to date consists of over 1,000 drillholes and 185,000 metres. Drilling has been
carried out from both surface and underground in order to delineate and locate mineralization. Surface exploration drilling is initially used in areas where underground access is not available and is used to guide the underground exploration
programs. Drilling to date has identified mineral reserves and resources over a strike length of 1.8 kilometres and in six main zones (zones 1 to 4 and zones A and B).

Surface drilling

We have carried out surface drilling since 2004, to test the extension of
mineralization identified from the historical surface drillholes, to new targets along the strike, and to evaluate the P2 trend north and south of the mine. Surface drilling has been over a strike length of two kilometres, generally at between 500
metres to 640 metres below the surface.

As of December 31, 2011, we had drilled 145 surface drillholes (both conventional and
directional drilling) for a total of over 85,000 metres along the P2 trend. This includes 13 drillholes totaling approximately 6,800 metres, completed during 2009 to confirm and further delineate the zone B resource.

We have completed preliminary drill tests of the P2 trend at 200 metre intervals over 11.2 kilometres (4.3 kilometres north and 6.9 kilometres south of
the McArthur River mine site) of the total 14.8 kilometres strike length of the P2 trend. A total of $5.0 million (our share $3.49 million) has been budgeted in 2012 for diamond drilling to follow up on any anomalies in 2011 and continue
systematic testing of the P2 trend south of the mine.

Underground drilling

In 1993, regulators approved an underground exploration program, consisting of shaft sinking, lateral development and drilling. We completed the shaft in 1994.

We have drilled more than 850 underground drillholes since 1993, over 78,000 metres, to get detailed information along 750 metres of the surface
delineation, and used this data to estimate the mineral reserves and resources in four mineralized zones (zones 1 to 4). The drilling was completed from the 530 and 640 metre levels. Data from hundreds of freezeholes and raisebore pilot holes
support the estimate. Where there were no underground drillholes (the southern part of the deposit, and in zones A and B in the northern part of the deposit), we used surface exploration drillholes to estimate mineral resources.

In addition to the exploration drilling, geological data is also collected from the underground probe and grout and geotechnical programs. To date, we
have drilled over 900 holes along more than 50,000 metres under these programs.

Recent activity

We initiated a multi-year project, the McArthur River extension, in 2010, to advance the underground exploration drifts on the 530 metre level to
the north and to the south of the current mining operations. We began tunneling the north exploration drift in 2007, and the south exploration drift in 2010.

In 2011, we advanced the exploration drifts to zones A and B, north of current mining operations, and were successful in upgrading the majority of the zone B inferred mineral resources to the indicated
category based on surface drilling. This area continues to show promise.

In 2012, we plan to continue advancing the underground exploration
drift to the south of the current mining areas. We also plan to test, from surface, along the entire length of the mineralized zone to identify additional mineral resources.

Sampling and analysis

Surface samples



| |  | GPS or mine site surveying instruments are used in the field to verify the location of surface drillholes.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Holes are generally drilled every 12 to 25 metres, on sections that are 50 to 200 metres apart. Drilled depths average 670 metres.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Vertical holes generally intersect mineralization at angles of 25 to 45 degrees, resulting in true widths being 40 to 70% of the drilled width.
Angled holes usually intercept it perpendicularly, giving true width.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | All holes are radiometrically probed.
|- |  | -------------------------------------



| |  | A geologist examines the surface drillhole core in the field, determines its overall characteristics, including mineralization, logs the information,
and takes samples that have noteworthy alteration, structures and radiometric anomalies.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Basement sampling procedures depend on the length of the interval sampled, and attempts are made to avoid having samples cross lithological boundaries.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | All core with radioactivity greater than a set threshold is split and sampled for assay.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We measure the uranium grade by assaying core. Core recovery is generally considered excellent with some local exceptions. The quality and
representativeness of the surface drillhole samples is adequate for estimating mineral resources and mine planning, but we often validate surface drillhole results against underground drilling results in the same vicinity.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Underground samples



| |  | Holes are drilled in stations 30 metres apart. Each station is drilled with three fans of holes, covering 10 metres across the deposit.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Uranium grade is calculated from the adjusted radiometric probe readings. Radiometric probing is at 0.1 metre spacing in radioactive zones and 0.5
metre spacing in unmineralized zones. The drillhole fans give the gamma probes representative access across the entire deposit.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | For a small portion of the assay data we obtain, which we use to estimate mineral resources, we assay core to determine the U3O8content past the probe limit of a hole, or to provide correlation samples to compare against a

| | probed interval. In these cases, we log the core, photograph it, and then sample it for uranium analysis. We sample the entire interval instead of splitting the core. This provides very
high-quality samples in these areas.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Core recovery in these areas can be excellent to poor.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The quality and representativeness of the underground drillhole samples is adequate for estimating mineral resources and mine planning.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis

We record the following for each sample:



|                                                                                                              |  |

We place each sample in a plastic bag and write its number on the bag. We place the bags in a metal or plastic shipping
drum, which is scanned by the radiation department and shipped to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) in Saskatoon for analysis.

SRC
personnel:



| |  | verify the sample information
|- |  | -----------------------------



| |  | sort the samples by radioactivity
|- |  | ---------------------------------



| |  | dry, crush and grind them in secure facilities or in the main laboratory, if they have minimal radioactivity
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | dilute the samples and carry out a chemical analysis
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  | prepare and analyse a quality control sample with each batch
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | analyse one of every 40 samples in duplicate.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------

Quality control

A data and quality assurance coordinator on staff is responsible for
reviewing the quality of geochemical data received from laboratory contractors. The coordinator reviews the analyses provided by the lab using the results of standard reference materials as a benchmark, and, together with project geologists,
determines whether it is necessary to reassay.

We use several quality control measures and data verification procedures:



| |  | enter surveyed drillhole collar coordinates and hole deviations in the database, display them in plan views and sections and visually compare them to
their planned location
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | visually validate core logging information on plan views and sections, and verify it against photographs of the core or the core itself
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | compare downhole radiometric probing results with core radioactivity and drilling depth measurements
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | validate uranium grade based on radiometric probing with sample assay results, when available
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | compare the information in the database against the original data, including paper logs, deviation survey films, assay certificates and original
probing data files.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since 2000, we have regularly compared information collected from production activities, such as
freezeholes, raisebore pilot holes, radiometric scanning of scoop tram buckets and mill feed sampling, to the drillhole data.

Quality
assurance and quality control for underground drillhole information focuses on ensuring quality probing results. We do this by:



| |  | checking the calibration of probes before using them
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  | visually monitoring the radiometric measurements
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  | periodically duplicating probe runs.
|- |  | ------------------------------------

We also compare the probing results with the core measurements, and have an experienced geologist at the mine site or in Saskatoon visually inspect the radiometric profile of each hole. Reconciling the
model with mine production is a very good indicator that estimated grades in the block model accurately reflect the mined grades.

Sample security

All samples collected from McArthur River are prepared and analysed under the close supervision of a qualified geoscientist at the SRC, which is a restricted access laboratory licensed by the CNSC.

We store and ship all samples in compliance with regulations. We consider it unlikely that samples are tampered with because of the high
grade of the ore and the process used: the core is scanned immediately after it is received at a sample preparation laboratory and grade is estimated at that point.

Accuracy

We are satisfied with the quality of data obtained from surface exploration and
underground drilling at McArthur River and consider it valid for estimating mineral resources and mineral reserves. This is supported by the fact that for the last seven years, actual annual uranium production has been within 5% of our estimates.

Mineral reserve and resource estimates

Please see page 73 for our mineral reserve and resource estimates for McArthur River.

Permits

We need three permits to operate the Rabbit Lake mining and milling complex:



| |  | Uranium Mine Operating Licence from the CNSC
|- |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  | Approval to Operate Pollutant Control Facilities from the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Permit to Operate Waterworks from the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These permits expire on October 31, 2013.

Production

2011 production was 3.8 million pounds U3O8, the same as
it was in 2010.

Operations

During our scheduled mill maintenance shutdown in the third quarter of 2011, we completed the second phase of upgrades at the acid plant, successfully
replacing the acid plant final towers.

Exploration

In 2010, we added mineral reserves, extending the estimated mine life by two years to 2017.

In
2011, we received regulatory approval to begin explorationrelated development and drilling on the Powell Zone, and completed a portion of the development work. We plan to complete the development work in 2012 and carry out drilling to further
evaluate this zone.

We have extended our underground drilling reserve replacement program into 2012. We plan to test and evaluate areas east
and northeast of the mine where we have had good results, and to the north and south. The drilling will largely be from surface.

Tailings

We expect the mill to have the capacity to handle tailings from milling ore from Rabbit Lake until approximately mid-2016 (based on
expected ore grades and milling rates).

We are planning to expand the existing tailings management facility by mid-2016 to increase the
tailings capacity so that it can support the extension of Rabbit Lakes mine life, and provide additional tailings capacity to process ore from other potential sources. We need regulatory approval to proceed with any increase in capacity and
will pay the resulting capital costs. The increase in tailings capacity will require an environmental assessment.

Site reclamation

We are proceeding with our multi-year, site wide reclamation plan. We spent over $10 million in 2011 to reclaim facilities that are no
longer in use, and plan to spend over $2 million in 2012.

Mill renewal

We have been working on upgrades to the Rabbit Lake mill and associated facilities since 2006:



| |  | 2006  reduced mill effluent concentrations of uranium
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 2008  replaced the mill-distributed control system and improved the mills secondary containment
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 2009  reduced mill effluent concentrations of molybdenum and selenium
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 2010  replaced the converter and heat recovery equipment in the acid plant
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 2011  replaced the three acid plant towers in the acid plant and completed ongoing upgrades to mill processing equipment and tanks.

About the Inkai property

Location

The Inkai mine is located in the Suzak District of South Kazakhstan Oblast,
Kazakhstan near the town of Taikonur, 370 kilometres north of the city of Shymkent and 125 kilometres east of the city of Kyzl-Orda.

Accessibility

The road to Taikonur is
the primary road for transporting people, supplies and uranium product to and from the mine. It is a gravel road and crosses the Karatau Mountains. Railroad transportation is available from Almaty to Shymkent, then northwest to Shieli, Kyzl-Orda and
beyond. A rail line also runs from the town of Dzhambul to a Kazatomprom facility to the south of Taikonur.

Licences

Inkai holds the rights to three contiguous licence blocks, blocks 1, 2 and 3, based on the licences it has received and its resource use contract
with the Kazakhstan government. Inkai has to meet certain obligations to maintain these rights. See pages 40 and 41 for more information.

Setting

Inkai lies in the Betpak Dala
Desert, which has an arid climate, minimal precipitation and relatively high evaporation. The surface elevation ranges from 140 to 300 metres above mean sea level. The average precipitation varies from 130 to 140 millimetres per year, and 22 to 40%
of this is snow.

The area also has strong and almost uninterrupted winds that travel from 3.8 to 4.6 metres per second. The prevailing winds
are northeast. Dust storms are common. The major water systems in the area include the Shu, Sarysu and Boktykaryn rivers.

Geology

The deposit is sub-divided into two regions: the Sandy-brackish intercontinental deltas of the Shu and Sarysu rivers, and the Betpak Dala
plateau.

The geology of south-central Kazakhstan is comprised of a large relatively flat basin of Cretaceous to Neogene age continental
clastic sedimentary rocks. The Cretaceous-Cainozoic Chu-Sarysu basin extends for more than 1,000 kilometres from the foothills of the Tien Shan Mountains on the south and southeast sides, and merges into the flats of the Aral Sea depression to the
northwest. The basin is up to 250 kilometres wide, bordered by the Greater Karatau

Mountains on the southwest and the Chu-Ili uplift and Central Kazakhstan uplands on the northeast. It is composed of gently dipping to nearly flat lying fluvial-derived unconsolidated sediments
composed of inter-bedded sand, silt, and local clay horizons.

The Cretaceous-Cenozoic sediments host several stacked and relatively
continuous, sinuous roll-fronts, or oxidation-reduction (redox) fronts hosted in the more porous and permeable sand and silt units. There are several uranium deposits and active ISR uranium mines at these regional oxidation roll-fronts,
developed along a regional system of superimposed mineralization fronts.

The Inkai deposit is hosted within the Inkuduk and Mynkuduk
formations, which are made up of feldspathic sandstones or sub-arkoses, typically containing 50 to 60% quartz, 10 to 15% feldspar, and 5 to 10% clay. The redox boundary can be readily recognised in core by a distinct colour change from gray on the
reduced side to yellowish stains on the oxidized side, stemming from the oxidation of pyrite to limonite. In cross-section, the redox boundary is often C shaped forming the classic roll-front. The sands have a high horizontal
permeability.

Mineralization

Seven mineralized zones have been identified on blocks 1 and 2, including three zones in the Mynkuduk horizon and four zones in the Inkuduk horizon.

Mineralization includes sooty pitchblende (85%) and coffinite (15%). The pitchblende occurs as micron-sized globules and spherical
aggregates. The coffinite occurs as small crystals. Both uranium minerals are commonly associated with pyrite, and occur in pores on interstitial materials like clay minerals, as films around and in cracks within sand grains, and as pseudomorphic
replacements of rare organic matter.

Most of the mineralization in block 1 is in the Mynkuduk horizon, of Turonian age, which unconformably
overlays Permian argillites. Made up of fine to medium sands with occasional layers of clay or silt, this horizon is at a depth of 500 metres. The surface projection of the Mynkuduk horizon has an overall length of about 31 kilometres at an average
width of 160 metres. The lower part of the Inkuduk horizon, which sits above the Mynkuduk horizon, is also locally mineralized.

In block 2,
mineralization is mainly in the Middle and Lower Inkuduk horizons, between 350 and 420 metres below the surface. For the Inkuduk horizons, the overall length is about 66 kilometres at an average width of 160 metres.

Block 3 update

Exploration work on the
northern flank (block 3) of the Inkai deposit has identified extensive mineralization hosted by several horizons in the lower and middle parts of the Upper Cretaceous stratigraphic level and traced along 25 kilometres from block 2 of the Inkai
deposit in the southwest through to the Mynkuduk deposit in the northeast. This discovery requires further assessment of its commercial viability. In February 2010, Inkai filed a notice of the discovery with regulators.

In April 2011, Inkai received government approval to amend the block 3 licence to provide for a five-year appraisal period to carry out delineation
drilling, uranium resource estimation, construction and operation of a test leach facility and to complete a feasibility study. In June 2011, Inkai paid a $2.7 million (US) commercial discovery bonus to the state. In 2011, Inkai continued
delineation drilling, began infrastructure development and completed engineering for a test leach facility for the block 3 assessment program. Inkai requires regulatory approval of the detailed block 3 delineation and teach leach work programs.

In 2012, Inkai expects to continue delineation drilling and advancing development of the test leach facility.

Profits from future block 3 production are to be shared on a 50:50 basis with our partner, instead of based on our ownership interests.

Water, power and heat

Groundwater wells provide sufficient water for all planned industrial activities. Shallow wells on site have potable water for use at the camp. The site is connected to the Kazakh power grid. Operations
continue throughout the year despite cold winters (lows of -35°C) and hot summers (highs of +40°C).

Employees

Taikonur has a population of about 450 people who are mainly employed in uranium development and exploration. Whenever possible, Inkai hires personnel
from Taikonur and surrounding villages.

Mining method

Inkai uses conventional and well-established ISR technology. It has a very efficient process for uranium recovery, developed after extensive test work and operational experience. The process involves five
major steps:



| |  | leach the uranium in-situ with sulphuric acid-based lixiviate solution
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | recover it from solution with ion exchange resin (takes place at both main and satellite processing plants)
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | precipitate it with hydrogen peroxide
|- |  | -------------------------------------



| |  | thicken, dewater, and dry it
|- |  | ----------------------------



| |  | package it as
U3O8(yellowcake) in drums.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------

The process requires large quantities of sulphuric acid because there are relatively high levels of carbonate in the ore. In 2007, a fire at a sulphuric acid plant in Kazakhstan, and delays in the
start-up of a new plant, restricted the availability of sulphuric acid. Allotments of sulphuric acid to Inkai and other ISR operations in Kazakhstan were reduced. The shortage continued throughout 2008, though it was resolved by the end of that
year. Inkai received enough sulfuric acid in 2009 and 2010 to acidify the wellfields as planned.

During 2011, Inkai experienced brief
interruptions to its sulphuric acid supply, which had a small impact on production. The supply of sulphuric acid is tight in Kazakhstan. Given the importance of sulphuric acid to Inkais mining operations, we continue to closely monitor its
availability. Our production may be less than forecast if there is a shortage.

|------------------------------------------ |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Total processing plant production          |  | Based on current mineral reserves, we expect Inkai to produce a total of 99.5 million pounds U3O8(recovered by the processing plant).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|                                           | 
|Average annual processing plant production |  | The processing plant has the capacity to produce at an annual rate of 5.2 million pounds per year (100% basis) depending on the grade of the production solution. Inkai is planning
to expand the existing satellite plant capacity in order to support this production rate from lower grade solution. Regulatory approval is required to carry out production at the annual rate of 5.2 million pounds per year (100% basis). See
Production increases for 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Production increases for 2011, 2012 and 2013

In April 2011, Inkai received government approval to produce 3.9 million pounds per year (100% basis).

In August 2011, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of agreement with our partner, Kazatomprom, to increase annual uranium production at Inkai from blocks 1 and 2 to 5.2 million pounds (100%
basis). Under the 2011 memorandum of agreement, our share of Inkais annual production will be 2.9 million pounds with the processing plant at full capacity. We will also be entitled to receive profits on 3.0 million pounds.

Our 2012 and future annual production targets and mineral reserve estimate for Inkai assume and we expect:



| |  | Inkai will obtain the necessary government permits and approvals to produce at an annual rate of 5.2 million pounds (100% basis), including an
amendment to the resource use contract
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | we reach a binding agreement with Kazatomprom to finalize the terms of the memorandum of agreement
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Inkai will ramp up production to an annual rate of 5.2 million pounds (100% basis).
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no certainty Inkai will receive these permits or approvals or we will reach a binding agreement with Kazatomprom or that Inkai will be able to
ramp up production. If Inkai does not, or if the permits and approvals are delayed, Inkai may be unable to achieve its 2012 and future annual production targets and we may have to recategorize some of Inkais mineral reserves as resources.

As part of our strategy to increase annual production to 40 million pounds by 2018, we are working with our partner, Kazatomprom, to
implement our 2007 non-binding memorandum of understanding.

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 39 | 



---

The memorandum:



| |  | targets future annual production capacity at 10.4 million pounds (100% basis). Our share of the additional capacity is expected to be 50%.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | contemplates studying the feasibility of constructing a uranium conversion facility, as well as other potential collaborations in uranium conversion.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To implement this increase, we need a binding agreement to finalize the terms of the memorandum and various approvals from
our partner and the government. We are currently in discussions with Kazatomprom about these initiatives. We expect our ability to double annual uranium production at Inkai will be closely tied to the success of the uranium conversion project.

Sales

Under
Kazakhstans transfer pricing law (which went into effect on January 1, 2009), sales are based on the current uranium spot price. Inkai has one forward uranium sales contract for a portion of its 2012 production, and it is with us.

Funding

We have a loan
agreement with Inkai. As of December 31, 2011, there was:



| |  | $192 million (US) of principal outstanding on the loan (in 2011 Inkai repaid $122 million (US) of principal)
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | a nominal amount of accrued interest and financing fees on the loan. In 2011, Inkai paid $6 million (US) in accrued interest and financing fees.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inkai uses 100% of the cash available for distribution each year to pay accrued interest and financing fees. After those
amounts are paid, Inkai uses 80% of cash available for distribution each year to repay principal outstanding on the loan until it is repaid in full. The remaining 20% of cash available for distribution is paid to the owners.

We have also agreed to advance funds for Inkais work on block 3 until the feasibility study is complete.

Costs and payback

In the March 2010
technical report:



| |  | capital costs remaining were estimated to be $359.2 million (US). This includes $208.6 million (US) for wellfield development. We expect wellfield
development costs to decline gradually over the last five years of production.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | payback was forecast in 2012, on an undiscounted, after-tax basis, including all 2009 and prior costs.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resource use contract

In 2000, Inkai
and the government of Kazakhstan signed the resource use contract, which covers the licences issued in 1999. Inkai has to meet the obligations under these licences and the resource use contract to maintain its rights to blocks 1, 2 and 3.

In 2007, Inkai and the relevant government authority signed Amendment No.1 to the resource use contract to extend the exploration period at
blocks 2 and 3.

In 2009, Inkai and the relevant government authority signed Amendment No. 2 to the resource use contract, which:



| |  | extended the exploration period for block 3 to July 13, 2010
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | approves mining at block 2
|- |  | --------------------------



| |  | combines blocks 1 and 2 for mining and reporting purposes
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  | requires Inkai to adopt the new tax code that took effect January 1, 2009
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | requires Inkai to adopt current Kazakh legal and policy requirements for subsoil users to procure goods, works and services under certain prescribed
procedures and foster greater local content
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | prescribes Kazakh employment: over the life of the resource use contract, 100% of the workers, at least 70% of engineering and construction staff and
at least 60% of the management staff must be Kazakh.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In April of 2011, Inkai and the relevant government authority signed Amendment No. 3 to the resource
use contract which:



| |  | approves an increase to annual production from blocks 1 and 2 to 3.9 million pounds (100% basis)
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | amends the block 3 licence for a five-year appraisal period to July 2015 to carry out delineation drilling, uranium resource estimation, construction
and operation of a test leach facility, and to complete a feasibility study.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work programs

Inkai is required to follow the work program appended to the resource use contract, which applies to mining operations over the life of the mine.To comply with the new subsoil law, Inkai developed a life of mine work plan and submitted it to the relevant government authority who approved it in April 2011 as part of the approval of Amendment No. 3 to the resource use contract (see
Project documentation on page 43). The work plan will need to be updated and submitted to the relevant government authority whenever a change is made.

Prior to the new subsoil law, Inkai had to submit an annual work plan to the government authority every year for approval.

Environment

Inkai has to comply with environmental requirements during all stages of the
project, and develop an environmental impact assessment for examination by a state environmental expert before making any legal, organizational or economic decisions that could have an effect on the environment and public health.

Under Kazakhstan law, Inkai needs an environmental permit to operate. Inkai has a permit for environmental emissions and discharges, valid until December
2013, and an emissions permit for drilling activities, valid until December 2012. It also holds water permits.

Insurance

Inkai carries environmental insurance, as required by the resource use contract.

Decommissioning

Inkais decommissioning obligations are largely defined by the
resource use contract. It has deposited the required contributions into a separate bank account as security to ensure it will meet its obligations. Contributions are capped at $500,000 (US). Inkai has funded the full amount.

Under the resource use contract, Inkai must submit a plan for decommissioning the mine to the government six months before mining activities are
complete. It developed a preliminary decommissioning plan to estimate total decommissioning costs, and updates the plan every five years, or when there is a significant change at the operation that could affect decommissioning estimates. The
preliminary decommissioning estimate is $11 million (US).

Groundwater is not actively restored post-mining in Kazakhstan. See page 85 for
additional details.

Kazakhstan government and legislation

Subsoil law

The principal legislation governing subsoil exploration and mining activity in
Kazakhstan is the Subsoil Use Law dated June 24, 2010, which took effect July 7, 2010 (the subsoil law). It replaces the Law on the Subsoil and Subsoil Use, dated January 27, 1996, as amended (the old law).

In general, Inkais licences are governed by the version of the subsoil law that was in effect when the licences were issued in April
1999, and new legislation applies to Inkai only if it does not worsen Inkais position. Changes to legislation related to national security, among other criteria, however, are exempt from the stabilization clause in the resource use contract.
The Kazakhstan government interprets the national security exemption broadly.

The subsoil law defines the framework and procedures connected
with the granting of subsoil rights, and the regulation of the activities of subsoil users. The subsoil, including the mineral resources it contains, belongs to the state. Resources brought to the surface belong to the subsoil user, unless otherwise
provided by contract. The state has pre-emptive and approval rights with some exceptions (for example, for inter-group transfers), if a subsoil user transfers its subsoil rights or if there is a transfer (direct or indirect) of an ownership interest
in a subsoil user.



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 41 | 



---

Subsoil rights go into effect when a contract with the relevant government authority is finalized. The
subsoil user is given, among other things, the exclusive right to conduct mining operations, to build production and social facilities, to freely dispose of its share of production and to negotiate extensions of the contract.

Until March 12, 2010, the Kazakhstan Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) was designated as the competent authority under the
old law. The Kazakhstan Ministry of Industry and New Technologies replaced it, and is the current competent authority under the subsoil law. We refer to the competent authority as the relevant government authority.

To date, the new subsoil law has not had a significant impact on Inkai, however, we continue to assess the impact. Some of the general impact is
described below:

Stabilization clause

The general stability provision has been changed in the subsoil law.Under the old law,changes in legislation that worsened the position of the subsoil user did not apply to resource use
contracts signed before the changes were adopted.

Under the new subsoil law,contracts are only protected from changes in legislation
if the changes worsen the commercial position of the subsoil user. The subsoil law expands the list of exceptions from stabilization to include taxation and customs regulation. These are in addition to exceptions in the old law for defence,
national security, environmental protection and health.

With the new subsoil law, the government continues to weaken its stabilization
guarantee. The government is broadly applying the national security exception to encompass security over strategic national resources.

Amendment No. 2 to the resource use contract eliminated the tax stabilization provision that applied to Inkai.

The resource use contract contains significantly broader stabilization provisions than the new subsoil law, and these contract provisions currently apply
to us.

Transfer of subsoil rights and pre-emptive rights

The subsoil law strengthens the states control over transactions involving subsoil rights and the direct and indirect ownership interests in a subsoil user.

Like the old law, transfers of subsurface rights, transfers of shares (interests) in subsoil users and the grant of security over subsurface rights
require consent of the relevant government authority. The new subsoil law expands the list of transactions that require consent and also spells out in more detail the circumstances, documentation and information that must accompany the request for
consent. It also contains a new provision requiring notification to the relevant government authority within five business days of completion of the transaction.

Similar to the old law, the state has a priority right on terms not worse than those offered by other buyers.

Failing to obtain the states waiver of its pre-emptive right or the consent of the relevant government authority or to provide the completion notification, are grounds for the state to invalidate a
transfer.

Dispute resolution

The dispute resolution procedure in the subsoil law does not specifically disallow international arbitration. Instead it says that if a dispute related to
a resource use contract cannot be resolved by negotiation, the parties can resolve the dispute according to the laws of Kazakhstan and international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The resource use contract allows for international arbitration. We believe the subsoil law does not affect this right.

Contract termination

Under the subsoil
law the relevant government authority can terminate a contract before it expires, if a subsoil user does not fix more than two breaches of its obligations under the contract or the project documents within a specific period.

Under the old law,the relevant government authority could terminate a contract if the subsoil user materially breached its obligations
established by the contract or work program.



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 42 | 



---

Under the resource use contract, if Inkai materially breaches its obligations, the relevant government
authority has to notify Inkai of the breach and provide a reasonable period to fix it before it can terminate the contract.We believe that the terms of the resource use contract should continue to apply unless the state seeks to apply the
national security exception to stabilization.

Local content

Subsoil users must procure goods, works and services in compliance with the subsoil law. Procurement is carried out through a specially created register of the goods, works and services and of the
entities (producers) providing them. Subsoil users must give preference to local producers, as long as the goods, works and services comply with applicable standards. The subsoil law also allows a statutory tender commission, which oversees tender
procedures, to conditionally discount local producers bids by 20% relative to foreign bidders. This new local content provision applies to Inkai.

Project documentation

Subsoil users who received subsoil rights before the subsoil law was
introduced were required to:



| |  | develop new project documentation to be approved by July 7, 2011
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | develop a new work program in accordance with the project documentation to be approved by January 7, 2012.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inkai submitted the required documentation and received approval of the new life of mine work program as part of the April 14, 2011 approval of
Amendment No. 3 to the resource use contract.

The subsoil law repealed the previous requirement for annual work plans. Instead, expected
exploration and/or production volumes for each year will now be set out in the new work program. Inkai is revising its work program to support an application to increase the annual production rate to 5.2 million pounds (100% basis).

Strategic deposits

On August 19,
2009, 231 blocks, including all three of Inkais blocks, were prescribed as strategic deposits under the Governmental Resolution On Determination of the List of Subsoil (Deposit) Areas having Strategic Importance.

Under the subsoil law, if any actions by a subsoil user relating to a strategic deposit leads to a change in the economic interests of the state that
creates a threat to national security, the relevant government authority has the right to demand a change to a contract that will restore the economic interests of the state. The parties have to agree on and make the change within a specific time
period, or the relevant government authority can unilaterally terminate the contract.

Currency control regulations

In 2009, specific amendments to existing currency regulations were adopted. These amendments are aimed at preventing possible threats to the economic
security and stability of the Kazakh financial system. The President of Kazakhstan was granted the power to establish a special currency regime that can:



| |  | require foreign currency holders to deposit a certain portion of their foreign currency interest free with a resident Kazakhstan bank or the National
Bank of Kazakhstan
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | require the permission of the National Bank of Kazakhstan for currency transactions
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | restrict overseas transfers of foreign currency.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------

While the special currency regime has not been imposed, it has the potential to prevent Kazakh companies, like Inkai, from being able to pay dividends to their shareholders abroad or repatriating any or
all of its profits in foreign currency. It can also impose additional administrative procedures, and Kazakh companies could be required to hold a portion of their foreign currency in local banks.

Exploration, drilling and estimates

We did not do any exploration drilling in blocks 1 and 2, and relied instead on historic data to estimate mineral reserves and resources.

Exploration

Historical drilling



| |  | Historical drilling at Inkai included 4,898 holes in blocks 1 and 2, and 510 in block 3.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Drilling was vertical, on a grid at prescribed density of 3.2 to 1.6 kilometre line spacing and 200 to 50 metre (3.2-1.6 kilometres x 200-50 metres)
hole spacing. Additional drilling at grids of 800-400 x 200-50 metres and 200-100 x 50-25 metre grid increased the level of geological knowledge and confidence.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Vertical holes were drilled with a triangular drill bit for use in unconsolidated formations down to a certain depth and the rest of the holes were
cored.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Volkovgeology, a subsidiary of Kazatomprom, compiled the data for block 1 of the Inkai deposit as well as some of the data for block 2 to produce a
report in 1991.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exploration drilling



| |  | Inkais exploration and mineral resource evaluation department oversees exploration, including the strategic direction of the drilling program and
management of contractors. Inkai has retained a contractor, Volkovgeology, to direct and coordinate day-to-day drilling activities, and to ensure drilling quality, core recovery, surveying, geological logging, sampling, assaying and daily data
processing.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Inkai had drilled a total of 2,603 exploration holes in block 3 as of the end of December 2011 (510 historic holes drilled before 2006, 45 in 2006, 90
in 2008, 456 in 2009, 1,008 in 2010 and 494 in 2011). All drilling conducted on grids of 400 by 50 metre and larger were cored with the core recovery of at least 70% in at least 70% of the drillholes, whereas the infill drillholes in 200 by 50 metre
drilling patterns consist of predominately coreless drillholes, in compliance with the requirements of the State Reserve Commission of the Kazakh Republic.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | In addition, a total of 28 hydrogeological test wells were drilled in 2010 and 2011.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent activity



| |  | The first phase of the drilling program from 2006 through 2009 was focused on drilling on an 800 x 50 metre grid pattern in the southwestern part of
block 3. Also, the mineralization trends were followed along the northwestern border using sparser (800 to 1600 x 100 to 200 metre) drilling patterns.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The second phase of the drilling program from January to October 2010 was aimed at developing an 800 x 50 metre infill drilling grid pattern throughout
the mineralized trend identified along the northwestern border, as well as the trend developed along the southern border.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The third phase of drilling started in October 2010 and continued throughout 2011. Progressively tightening drilling grids (from 800 x 50 metre to 400
x 50 metre to 200 x 50 metre) were used to delineate mineralization in the southwestern and western parts of block 3.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Hydrogeological testing work (one well and multiwell aquifer pump tests) was conducted in 2010 and 2011 in the southwestern part of block 3 to
establish the hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifers of the hosting mineralized horizons, as well as their relationship to the surrounding aquitards and other aquifers. These hydrogeological characteristics and relationships are
geotechnical parameters important for the ISR method of mining.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Results of exploration and delineation:
|- |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | traced the presence of mineralization throughout block 3 with greater certainty. There was a significant increase in the extent of mineralization in
many places, compared to results of predecessors, which were based on sparser historical drilling grids.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | encountered more complex morphology of the mineralized zones of block 3
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | used the mineralization delineation from 800 x 50 metre and 200 x 50 metre drilling grids in block 3 to form a preliminary estimate of the
mineralization for most of the area covered
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 44 | 



---

| |  |  | led to a preliminary estimate of the mineralization on the southwestern corner of block 3, which was reviewed and approved by the State Reserve
Commission
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | confirmed the need for additional drilling to close off mineralization zones and better define their morphology and continuity
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | identified two sites for conducting ISR tests in two separate horizons (Inkuduk and Mynkuduk) and an ISR test work technical project package is being
prepared.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sampling and analysis

Sampling



| |  | Detailed sampling procedures guide the sampling interval within the mineralization. Holes are drilled on progressively tightening grids: 3.2 to 1.6
kilometre x 200-50 metre, 800-400 metre x 200-50 metre and 200-100 metre x 50-25 metre. When core recoveries are higher than 70% and radioactivity greater than 40 micro-roentgen per hour, core samples are taken at irregular intervals of 0.2 to 1.2
metres. Sample intervals are also differentiated by barren or low permeability material.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The drillholes are nearly vertical and the mineralized horizons are almost horizontal, so the mineralized intercepts represent the true thickness of
the mineralization.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Inkais geophysical crews survey the drillholes, logging radiometric, electrical (spontaneous potential and resistivity), caliper and deviation
data. For greater accuracy, they collect downhole data only from open or uncased holes.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Sampling is done sectionally from half of the core, which is divided along its axis and cleared from the clay envelope. The average core sample length
is 0.4 metres.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The split core is tested for grainsize and carbonate content.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Since gamma probing of the drillholes is used to estimate mineral resources, assays from core sampling are used only when core recovery is at least
70%, for correlation.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Core recovery is generally considered to be acceptable given the unconsolidated state of the mineralized material.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis

We carried out a data
verification process to validate the historic Kazakh mineral resource and reserve estimate. This included:



| |  | studying and coding all 1,294 drillholes on the Volkovgeology cross sections
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | sampling and assaying all drillhole core that could be recovered for uranium and radium content (and according to the drill logs, this recovery was
very good)
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | recording the location of each sample and its assay results on the drillhole log (referred to as a passport).
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quality control



| |  | Our geoscientists have witnessed core handling, logging and sampling used at the Inkai mine and considers the methodologies to be very satisfactory and
the results representative and reliable.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Geologists with Inkai, Volkovgeology, the State Reserves Commission and Cameco, have validated the current database a number of times. Our geologists
consider it relevant and reliable.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The findings are supported by results of the leach tests, recent production, and drilling results on block 2 and exploration drilling in block 3.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The exchange of digital drillhole information between Inkai and us allows all information to be available for our review.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sample security

Inkais current
sampling process follows the strict regulations imposed by the Kazakhstan government, and includes the highest level of security measures, quality assurance and quality control. We have not been able to locate the documents describing sample
security for historic Kazakhstan exploration on blocks 1, 2 and 3, but we believe the security measures taken to store and ship samples were of the same high quality.

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 45 |

Accuracy

We consider the historic Kazakhstan exploration data adequate and reliable for estimating mineral reserves and resources, based on the 2003 and 2007 validation of Kazakhstan estimated uranium reserves for
blocks 1 and 2 (see sampling and analysis).We consider the exploration data from Inkais exploration program at block 3 reliable for estimating mineral reserves and resources.

About the property

Location

Near Waterbury Lake, 660 kilometres north of Saskatoon. The mine site is four
kilometres long and six kilometres wide.

Accessibility

Access to the property is by an all-weather road and by air. Supplies are transported by truck from Saskatoon and elsewhere. There is an unpaved airstrip and air terminal east of the mine site.

Saskatoon, a major population centre south of the Cigar Lake deposit, has highway and air links to the rest of North America.

Leases

Surface lease

We acquired the right to use and occupy the lands necessary to mine the deposit under a surface lease agreement with the province of Saskatchewan. In
2011, the surface lease agreement was amended to increase the area of the surface lease to implement the proposed discharge of treated effluent to Seru Bay at nearby Waterbury Lake. In addition, the separate lease for the Cigar Lake airstrip was
amalgamated into this single lease. The lease covers approximately 1,042 hectares and expires in May 2044.

We are required to report annually
on the status of the environment, land development and progress on northern employment and business development.

Mineral lease

We have the right to mine the deposit under ML-5521, granted to us by the province of Saskatchewan. The lease covers 308 hectares and
expires December 1, 2021. We have the right to renew the lease for further 10-year terms.

Mineral claims

A mineral claim gives us the right to explore for minerals and to apply for a mineral lease. There are 25 mineral claims (Nos. S-106540 to 106564),
totaling 92,740 hectares, adjoining the mineral lease and surrounding the site. We have title to all of these claims until 2023.

Climate

The climate is typical of the continental sub-arctic region of northern Saskatchewan. Summers are short and cool even though daily temperatures can sometimes reach above 30°C. The mean daily
temperature for the coldest month is below -20°C, and winter daily temperatures can reach below -40°C.

Setting

The deposit is 40 kilometres inside the eastern edge of the Athabasca basin in northern Saskatchewan. The topography and environment are typical of the
taiga forested lands in the Athabasca basin. This area is covered with 30 to 50 metres of overburden. Vegetation is dominated by black spruce and jack pine. There is a lake known as Cigar Lake above the portion of the deposit that has
inferred resources.

Geology

The deposit is at the unconformity contact between rock of the Athabasca Group and underlying lower Proterozoic Wollaston Group metasedimentary rocks. The
Key Lake, McClean Lake and Collins Bay deposits all have a similar structural setting. While Cigar Lake shares many similarities with these deposits (general structural setting, mineralogy, geochemistry, host rock association and the age of the
mineralization), it is distinguished from other similar deposits by its size, very high grade, and the high degree of clay alteration.

Cigar Lakes geological setting is similar to McArthur Rivers: the sandstone that overlays the deposit and basement rocks is water-bearing,
with large volumes of water at significant pressure. Unlike McArthur River, however, the deposit is flat lying.

Mineralization

The Cigar Lake deposit is approximately 1,950 metres long, 20 to 100 metres wide, and ranges up to 13.5 metres thick, with an average
thickness of about 5.4 metres. It occurs at depths ranging between 410 to 450 metres below the surface.

The deposit has three distinct styles
of mineralization:



| |  | high-grade mineralization at the unconformity
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  | fracture controlled, vein-like mineralization higher up in the sandstone
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | fracture controlled, vein-like mineralization in the basement rock.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the uranium metal is in the high-grade mineralization at the unconformity, which has massive clays and high-grade uranium concentrations. This is the only economically viable style of
mineralization, considering the selected mining method and ground conditions.

The deposit consists mainly of three dominant rock and mineral
facies in varying proportions: quartz, clay (primarily chlorite with lesser illite) and metallic minerals (oxides, arsenides, sulphides). In the eastern part of the deposit (Phase 1), the ore is 50% clay matrix, 20% quartz and 30% metallic minerals,
visually estimated by volume, overlain by a very weak mineralized clay cap one to five metres thick. In the lower-grade western part of the deposit (Phase 2), the proportion changes to 20% clay, 60% quartz and 20% metallic minerals.

About the operation

Cigar Lake is a
development project with sufficient surface rights to meet future mining operation needs for the current mineral reserves.

Infrastructure

The surface facilities are 490 metres above sea level. The site includes:

The current surface lease is sufficient to accommodate personnel, access to water, airport, site roads and other
necessary buildings and infrastructure.

The underground workings are confined to a small portion of the area of the mineral lease.

Water, power and heat

Waterbury Lake, which is nearby, provides water for the industrial activities and the camp. The site is connected to the provincial electricity grid, and
it has standby generators in case there is an interruption in grid power.

Cigar Lake operates throughout the year despite cold winter
conditions. During the winter, we use propane-fired burners to heat the fresh air necessary to ventilate the underground workings.

Employees

Employees are recruited first
from communities in the area, then from major Saskatchewan population centres, like Saskatoon and then from outside the province.

Mining
method

We will use a number of innovative methods and techniques to mine the Cigar Lake deposit.

Bulk freezing

The sandstone that overlays the deposit and basement rocks is water-bearing, with large volumes of water under significant pressure. We will freeze the ore zone and surrounding ground in the area to be
mined, to prevent water from entering the mine and to help stabilize weak rock formations. Bulk freezing reduces but does not eliminate the risk of water inflows.

In the past, bulk freezing has been done from underground. In 2010, however, we tested and began to implement an innovative surface freeze strategy,which we expect will provide the following
benefits:



| |  | reducing risk to the construction schedule in two ways: (i) the surface freeze process can start before developing the underground tunnels; and
(ii) the construction activities underground are simplified by moving some of the related freezing activities and infrastructure to surface
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | contributing positively to overall project economics.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------

Our plan is to use a hybrid freezing approach. We will use surface freezing to support the rampup period and underground freezing for the longer term development of the mine. In 2011, we restarted
freezing a portion of the orebody using holes from underground that had been completed prior to the 2006 inflow, along with initiating freezing in a group of the newly completed surface freezeholes.

Also in 2011, we used freezing around shaft 2 to support the sinking and in early 2012 we broke through on the 480 metre level.

Jet boring

After many years of test
mining, we selected jet boring, a non-entry mining method, which we have developed and adapted specifically for this deposit. Overall, our initial test program was a success and met all initial objectives. This method is new to the uranium mining
industry. It involves:



| |  | drilling a pilot hole into the frozen orebody, inserting a high pressure water jet and cutting a cavity out of the frozen ore
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | collecting the ore and water mixture (slurry) from the cavity and pumping it to the ore storage sumps allowing it to settle
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | using a clamshell, transporting the ore from the sump storage to a grinding and processing circuit, eventually loading a tanker truck with ore slurry
for transport to the mill
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | filling each cavity in the orebody with concrete once mining is complete
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | starting the process again with the next cavity.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------

This is a non-entry method, which means mining is carried out from headings in the basement rock below the deposit, so employees are not exposed to the ore. This mining approach is highly effective at
managing the radiation levels workers may be exposed to. Combined with ground freezing and the cuttings collection system, jet boring should reduce radiation exposure to acceptable levels that are below regulatory limits.

Although we have successfully demonstrated the jet boring mining methods in trials, this method has not been proven at full production. Test mining
trials have been completed on a limited number of cavities that may not be representative of the deposit as a whole. As we ramp up production, there may be some technical challenges, which could affect our production plans including, but not limited
to, variable or unanticipated ground conditions, ground movement and cave ins, water inflows and variable dilution, recovery values and mining productivity. There is a risk that the rampup to full production may take longer than planned and that the
full production rate may not be achieved on a sustained and consistent basis. A comprehensive testing, pre-commissioning, commissioning and startup plan has been implemented to assure successful startup and on-going operations. We are confident we
will be able to solve challenges that may arise, but failure to do so would have a significant impact on our business.

Our mining plan
requires four jet boring system units. We currently have one unit and in 2011, we signed an agreement with a European based, global mining and tunnelling equipment supplier to manufacture and supply three additional jet boring system units. We plan
to procure additional equipment for the jet boring system in 2012. There is a risk that the rampup to full production at Cigar Lake may take longer than planned if the manufacture or delivery of the three additional units does not take place as
scheduled. As part of our startup plan noted above, we are working with our supplier to assure timely delivery of these units.

Mine development

There are two main levels in the mine: the 480 and 500 metre levels. Both levels are located in the basement rocks below the unconformity. The 480 metre level provides access to the production area below
the orebody and is typically more than 25 metres below the ore zone. The main underground processing and infrastructure facilities are located on this level. The 500 metre level is accessed via a ramp from the 480 metre level. The 500 metre level
provides for the main ventilation exhaust drift for the mine, the mine dewatering sump and additional processing facilities. Construction of these facilities is in progress.

Both mine development for construction and operation uses two basic development systems: drill and blast with conventional ground support, and mine development system, a 5.1 metre diameter full face
tunnel boring machine, which installs a precast concrete tunnel lining for ground support. We are evaluating the use of a roadheader excavator for those areas of weak ground away from the orebody.

With the exception of the mine development system headings, the infrastructure excavations and the access drifts are being constructed using conventional
drill and blast mining methods. Geotechnical drilling and analysis of ground conditions is completed prior to confirming permanent infrastructure locations.

We plan for our mine development to take place away from known groundwater sources whenever possible. In addition, we assess all planned mine development for relative risk, and apply extensive additional
technical and operating controls for all higher risk development. See Rehabilitating the mine below.

Processing

Cigar Lake ore slurry will be processed in two steps:

High density ore slurry  The ore slurry produced by the jet boring mining system will be pumped to Cigar Lakes underground crushing, grinding and thickening facility. The resulting
finely ground, high density ore slurry will be pumped to surface storage tanks, thickened and loaded into truck mounted containers like the ones used at McArthur River.

Processing The containers of ore slurry will be trucked to AREVAs McClean Lake JEB mill, 70 kilometres to the northeast for processing. See Toll Milling Agreementbelow for a
discussion of this arrangement.

Tailings

Cigar Lake site does not have a tailings management facility. The ore will be processed at the McClean Lake JEB mill. See Toll Milling Agreementbelow for a discussion of the McClean Lake JEB
tailings management facility.

Waste

The waste rock piles are separated into three categories:



| |  | clean rock  will remain on the minesite for use as aggregate for roads, concrete backfill and future site reclamation
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | mineralized waste (>0.03%
U3O8)  will be disposed of underground at the Cigar Lake mine. We have not identified any mineralized waste in
development to date
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | waste with acid-generating potential  temporarily stored on engineered lined pads. It will be transported to the McClean Lake facility for
permanent disposal.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Water discharged from the mine is currently treated and released to Aline Creek. In 2011, we received
approval to change the discharge location to Seru Bay (see page 58). Completion of construction and subsequent operating approvals from the CNSC and the province of Saskatchewan are expected in 2012. We expect to begin discharging treated water
directly to Seru Bay in mid-2012, as planned, once the construction of the pipelines and associated infrastructure is completed.

Production

We updated the mining plan
after the two mine in-flows, and expect commissioning in ore to begin in mid-2013, with the first pounds to be packaged at the McClean Lake JEB mill in the fourth quarter of 2013. The mining plan is designed to extract all of the current mineral
reserves. The following is a general summary of the production schedule

To meet our production schedule, the ground has to be fully frozen in the area being mined before we start jet boring
mining.

We have divided the orebody into production panels, and will have one jet boring mining unit operating in a panel. At least four
production panels need to be frozen at one time to achieve the full production rate of 18 million pounds per year. At any one time two jet boring machines will be jetting (producing ore) while the other two are in the process of moving/setting
up, or in the backfill cycle.

Payback

In the February 2012 technical report, we estimated payback, on an undiscounted pre-tax basis, in 2017. This did not include all construction costs spent on Cigar Lake prior to 2012, including remediation
costs.

Costs

As of
December 31, 2011, we had:



| |  | invested about $675 million for our share of the construction costs to develop Cigar Lake
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | expensed about $86 million for our share of remediation expenses, including about $4 million in 2011
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | expensed about $35 million for our share of standby costs.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

We expect to spend an additional $484 million (our share) to complete this project, which requires us to:



| |  | invest about $429 million for our share of the remaining capital costs, bringing our total share to about $1.1 billion
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | expense about $55 million for our share of the remaining standby costs, bringing our total share to about $90 million.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This would bring our total share of the cost for this project to about $1.3 billion since 2004.

Assurance of success program

We adopted an assurance of success program for Cigar Lake that uses risk-based quality assurance planning. This involves carrying
out a thorough assessment of the risks associated with all principal processes before implementation, with a goal of making sure we understand all the risks, have measures in place to mitigate them, and alternate plans to address any risks that
cannot be fully mitigated. We regularly monitor and evaluate any changes or conditions that we did not anticipate in our original plan, assess any new risks and then update the plan.

Reclamation and financial assurances

In 2002, our preliminary decommissioning plan
for Cigar Lake was approved by the CNSC and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. We revised this plan and the accompanying preliminary decommissioning cost estimatewhen we renewed our federal licence in 2008. These documents include our
estimated decommissioning costs up to the end of the construction of the mining facility.

We, along with our joint venture partners, posted
letters of credit as financial assurances with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment in the amount of $27.7 million, to cover these costs.

As part of our operating licence application, we will review the plan and cost estimate and update them to account for changes in our decommissioning
liabilities.

The reclamation and remediation activities associated with waste rock and tailings at the McClean Lake JEB mill are covered by
the plans and cost estimates for this facility.

Water inflow and mine rehabilitation

Cigar Lake Water inflow incidents

From 2006 through 2008, the Cigar Lake project suffered
several setbacks as a result of three water inflow incidents. The first occurred in April of 2006 resulting in the flooding of the then partially completed shaft 2. The two subsequent incidents involved inflows in the mine workings connected to
shaft 1 and resulted in flooding of the mine workings completed to that point in time.

We developed and successfully executed recovery and
remediation plans for both the shaft 2 inflow and the 2 inflows experienced in the shaft 1 workings. This culminated in the resumption of sinking of shaft 2 in the first half of 2011 and the successful break through to the 480 metre level of the
main mine workings in early 2012 and the commencement and completion of underground remediation and restoration of the shaft 1 workings in 2010 and 2011.

Rehabilitating the mine

Through 2010 and 2011, we developed a comprehensive plan and
successfully proceeded with remediation to restore the underground workings at Cigar Lake. This involved inspecting the mine and completing any additional remedial work to protect it from an inflow or significant ground failure (for example,
determining if additional reinforcement was required in higher risk areas). The work to secure the mine was completed in 2011.

With
successful re-entry to main mine working achieved in early 2010 a comprehensive underground rehabilitation program was implemented. The program of work involved rehabilitating the remaining lower risk areas of the mine (including 480 and 500 metre
levels) and re-establishing the full mine ventilation circuit.

Some of the specific tasks included:



| |  | re-establishing the permanent refuge stations and communications
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | installing the emergency back-up pumping capacity
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  | re-establishing the orebody freezing program
|- |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  | starting the shaft 2 freezing program
|- |  | -------------------------------------



| |  | preparing areas to resume construction/development activities
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | replacing electrical components and equipment damaged due to flooding.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of securing the mine and underground rehabilitation program, detailed assessments of the underground conditions were completed which provided further input to the overall Cigar Lake design and
strategy, allowing the mine plan to be further optimized.

Construction

With the mine fully secured, the underground rehabilitation program complete and regulatory requirements met, we resumed underground construction activities in 2011 that had been interrupted by the
October 2006 water inflow.

Completing shaft 2

We completed the dewatering of shaft 2 in April 2009 and remediation was completed in May 2009. The freezing infrastructure to support the completion of shaft sinking was completed in early 2011 and the
freeze system activated. Shaft sinking resumed in the first half of 2011 and by early 2012, we had achieved breakthrough to the 480 metre level and sinking to completion (the 500 metre level) continues. The breakthrough to the 480 metre level
provided for a second means of egress for the mine and for increases in ventilation.

In 2011, a hydrostatic liner was installed in the shaft
from the 368 metre depth to the 480 metre level, where it will transition back to a non-hydrostatic liner.

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 56 |

We plan to complete shaft 2 by the second quarter of 2013, taking the following steps:



| |  | sinking the shaft from the current shaft bottom depth of 480 metres to its final depth of 500 metres  to be completed in 2012
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | establishing a shaft station at the 480 metre level
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  | installing shaft furnishings including construction of a concrete ventilation partition, installation of electrical cable, water services, ore slurry
pipes and permanent service cage facilities
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | commissioning of the shaft systems.
|- |  | -----------------------------------

Increase pumping capacity

In 2010, we increased our pumping capacity to meet our standard
for this project, which is to secure pumping capacity of at least one and a half times the estimated maximum inflow.

In
2009, we received interim approval to release up to 1,100
m3/hr of treated water in non-routine circumstances, to
accommodate remediation activities in the mine. In 2011, we received approval to allow direct discharge of treated water to Seru Bay of Waterbury Lake which is intended to increase the mines dewatering capacity, and then approval to proceed
with construction. Completion of construction and subsequent operating approvals from the CNSC and the Province of Saskatchewan are expected in 2012. As of early 2012, our mine dewatering capacity has increased to 2,500 m3/hr and our mine water treatment capacity has been increased to 2,550
m3/hr.

We believe we have sufficient pumping, water treatment and surface storage capacity to handle the estimated maximum inflow.

Surface construction

We began
construction on the Seru Bay infrastructure project in 2011, and completed several surface facilities by the end of the year. Surface construction at Cigar Lake is 56% complete. Important surface construction still remaining includes the new
administration/services building, the Seru Bay pipeline, completion of the surface ore process facilities and the new propane tank farm, and expansion of the 138 kilovolt electrical substation and the permanent employee residence.

Underground development

We estimate
that the underground development necessary to start production is 70% complete.

Toll milling agreement

Milling the slurry from the Cigar Lake mine is a two-step process:



| |  | processing the ore slurry into JEB uranium solution
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  | processing the JEB uranium solution into uranium concentrates.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

The McClean Lake mill will carry out this work according to the terms of a toll milling agreement.

McClean Lake JEB toll milling agreement

The McClean Lake joint venture has agreed to process Cigar Lakes ore slurry at its McClean Lake JEB mill, according to the terms in its agreement
with the Cigar Lake joint venture: JEB toll milling agreement(effective January 1, 2002 and amended by a memorandum of agreement effective November 30, 2011). The McClean Lake joint venture has agreed to dedicate at the JEB mill
the necessary mill capacity to process and package 18 million pounds of Cigar Lake uranium concentrate annually.

The Cigar Lake joint
venture will pay a toll milling fee and its share of milling expenses.

In certain circumstances, the Cigar Lake joint venture is required to
pay standby costs. Standby costs of $22 million were expensed in 2011 with the JEB mill placed in a care and maintenance mode in July 2010. We estimate our share of further standby costs to be about $55 million. These costs will be expensed as
incurred, and are not included in the projects capital cost.

A number of mill modifications have been completed to date at the JEB mill
to process Cigar Lake ore. Under the memorandum of agreement, the McClean Lake joint venture is required to further modify and expand the JEB mill to



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 57 | 



---

process and package all of Cigar Lakes current mineral reserves. The Cigar Lake joint venture has agreed to pay for the capital costs for such modification and expansion. Construction of
the expanded facility is scheduled to begin in 2012 and be completed in 2015. Mill operation will continue during the construction stages in order to meet the Cigar Lake production schedule.

The McClean Lake joint venture plans to commence work in 2012 to optimize its tailings management facility to accommodate all of Cigar Lakes current mineral reserves. Subject to a capped
contribution of $4.6 million from the Cigar Lake joint venture, the McClean Lake joint venture is responsible for the cost to optimize its tailings management facility.

The McClean Lake joint venture is responsible for all costs of decommissioning the JEB mill. As well, the joint venture is responsible for the liabilities associated with tailings produced from processing
Cigar Lake ore at the JEB mill.

Regulatory approvals

Environmental assessment



| |  | In 1995, the Cigar Lake Project, Environmental Impact Statement was submitted to the Joint Federal-Provincial review panel on Uranium Mining
Developments in Northern Saskatchewan.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | In 1997, the panel recommended that the project should proceed, pending identification of a suitable waste rock disposal location.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The Canadian and Saskatchewan governments both accepted the panels recommendation and in 1998 both government bodies approved the project in
principle.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | In February 2004, we submitted an environmental assessment study report for the Cigar Lake mine plan. The CNSC agreed that this report met the
requirements of the Canadian Environment Assessment Act and approved proceeding with the licensing and permitting process.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Construction licence



| |  | The CNSC issued a construction licence in December 2004.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  | With water inflows in 2006 and 2008, the CNSC has twice extended the licence term. It now expires on December 31, 2013. The second extension was
provided to give us time to complete mine construction, including remediation, sinking shaft 2 and surface construction.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | In 2011, we received approval for additional licence activities including our revised mine plan allowing for completion of remediation and resumption
of pre-flood underground construction and development activities.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | In early 2012, we received approval for the establishment of shaft 2 as a second means of egress.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating licence

While we are
completing mine construction, we will be preparing an operating licence application for submission to the CNSC. This licensing process can proceed while construction is being completed.

Processing licences



| |  | An amendment is required to the McClean Lake JEB mill licence to process Cigar Lake ore at the McClean Lake JEB mill. We do not anticipate any issues
with the amendment to the licence. In 1997, the environmental impact statement for this processing was approved.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Water
treatment/effluent discharge system



| |  | We designed the Cigar Lake system for both routine and non-routine water treatment and effluent discharge, and it has been approved and licensed by the
CNSC and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. As well, under the provincial operating approval, specific approvals to construct and/or operate relevant components of the surface infrastructure will be required.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We want to manage the potentially higher water inflow we may see during construction and operations by building infrastructure that will allow us to
discharge treated water directly to Seru Bay of Waterbury Lake. In 2008, we submitted an application to the CNSC for this infrastructure that triggered a joint federal and provincial environmental assessment screening under the Canadian
Environment AssessmentAct. In 2011, our application was accepted and we received approval to proceed with construction. We have interim approvals and measures in

| | place to increase discharge to the Aline Creek system if we need to prior to the Seru Bay discharge point being operational. We require further operating approvals from the CNSC and the Province
of Saskatchewan, which we expect in 2012.

Exploration, drilling and estimates

The Cigar Lake uranium deposit was discovered in 1981 by surface exploration drilling.

We focus most of our exploration activities on mineral lease ML-5521. AREVA is responsible for exploration activity on the 25 surrounding claims. The data from the exploration program on the 25 mineral
claims is not part of the database used for the estimate of the mineral resources and mineral reserves at Cigar Lake.

Surface drilling
 mineral lease

A total of 406 surface holes have been drilled totalling 178,255 metres. 215 of these were drilled within the known
deposit limits.



|            |  |                                                                                                  
|----------- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|1982  1986 |  | A major surface drilling program delineated the deposit                                          
|            | 
|1987  2002 |  | Drilling for geotechnical and infill holes                                                       
|            | 
|2007  2009 |  | 51 holes drilled for various geotechnical and geophysical programs                               
|            | 
|2010        |  | 45 drillholes were completed as part of delineation and geotechnical programs                    
|            | 
|2011        |  | 87 drillholes were completed as part of delineation, geotechnical and surface freezehole programs

Additional delineation drilling is planned over Phase 2 as well as freezehole drilling over Phase 1 in 2012.

Surface drilling  mineral claims

In 2006, exploration drilling confirmed the existence of unconformity style mineralization outside the mineral lease, 650 metres east of Phase 1
mineralization.

Since then, additional exploration in the area delineated a mineralized zone 210 metres in strike length and 30 metres in
across-strike length. Additional drilling is planned for this mineralization in 2012.

Underground drilling

Diamond drilling from underground was mainly to determine the rock mass characteristics of both mineralized and waste rock before development and mining.

|1989  2006 |  | 132 underground diamond drillholes were drilled totalling 11,108 metres. Of these, 10 intersected the deposit.
 A total of 347 freeze and temperature monitoring holes were drilled from the
underground workings during the construction phase. 182 of these were gamma surveyed by radiometric probing.  Due to the drilling method for freezeholes, no core is available for assays. Uranium content is estimated by radiometric probing of the holes. In 2011, we developed conversion coefficients to convert the
radiometric probe results to equivalent U3O8 grades. This allowed the 182 underground freezeholes to be incorporated into the Cigar Lake mineral resource model.
|            | 
|2007  2009 |  | There was no underground drilling because of flooding.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|            | 
|2010  2011 |  | 90 holes were drilled underground totalling 8,453 metres. None intersected the deposit.
 5 of the 90 holes were drilled from inside shaft 2, in advance of the top seal grout
cover.  74 holes were drilled from the 480 metre level and the remaining 11
holes were drilled from the 500 metre level.

Underground drilling will continue to be conducted to assess ground conditions prior to development.

Sampling and analysis

Sampling

In the early stages of
exploration drilling, sampling intervals were of various lengths, up to 50 centimetres, based on geological differences in the character of the mineralization.

Starting in 1983, sampling intervals were fixed at a standard interval of 50 centimetres. All sample results have since been normalized at 50 centimetres for estimating mineral resources.

Vertical surface drillholes generally represented the true thickness of the zone since the mineralization is flat.

Samples were drawn from two phases of the deposit:

Phase 1  the eastern part (700 metres long by 150 metres wide)



| |  | nominal drillhole fence spacing was 25-50 metres east-west by 20-25 metres north-south
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phase 2  the western part (1,200 metres long by 100 metres wide)



| |  | nominal drillhole fence spacing was 200 metres east-west by 20 metres north-south
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 30 infill drillholes were completed in 2011 for select areas of the western part of the Phase 2 deposit, which locally reduced the drillhole spacing
down to a 15 metre by 15 metre pattern. These holes have not been included in the current resource estimate as drilling is ongoing in 2012.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One additional 50 centimetre sample was taken from each of the upper and lower contacts of the mineralized zone, to ensure that the zone was fully sampled at the 0.10% U3O8cut-off.

All
holes were core drilled and gamma probed whenever possible. In-hole gamma surveys and hand held scintillometer surveys guided sampling of core for assay purposes.

Analysis



| |  | More than 5,400 samples were assayed from surface and underground drilling.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Starting in 1983, all drilling and sample procedures were standardized and documented. This gives us a high degree of confidence in the accuracy and
reliability of results of all phases of the work.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The entire core from each sample interval was taken for assay, except for some of the earliest sampling in 1981 and 1982. This reduced the sample bias
inherent when splitting core.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Underground drillholes were sampled and gamma probed to the same standards as the surface drillholes.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Most of the underground drillholes were rotary holes for ground freezing so no core was recovered. For these holes, we have relied on radiometric
results to determine the grade to be used in the mineral resource model.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Chemical assays were used to determine grade in mineralized rock.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Core recovery through the ore zone has generally been very good. Where necessary, uranium grade determination is supplemented by down-hole radiometric
probing results.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | To estimate mineral resources and reserves when core recovery was between 75% and 100%, the assayed value was deemed to be representative of the whole
interval. If the core recovery was below 75%, the sample was replaced by length weighted probing values. Of the 3,271 assayed samples for Phase 1 mineralization, only 159 samples had recoveries of less than 75%.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Sample composites were calculated at 1.0 metre intervals by taking the length weighted average for the mineralized intercept in each drillhole using a
1.0 % U3O8cut-off grade.

Quality control and data verification

The quality assurance and quality control procedures were typical for the time. The majority of uranium assays in the database were
obtained from Loring Laboratories Ltd. For uranium assays over 5% U3O8,12 standards
and two blanks were run with each batch of samples and for uranium assays over 5% U3O8, a minimum of
four standards were run with each batch of samples.

More recent assaying at the Saskatchewan Research Council includes preparing and
analysing standards, duplicates and blanks. A standard is prepared and analysed for each batch of samples and one out of every 40 samples is analysed in duplicate. To validate the core depth, the in-hole gamma survey results on core were compared at
site to hand-held scintillometer surveys.

The original database, from which most of the mineral resources and mineral reserves are estimated,
was compiled by previous operators. We have reviewed a total of 1,286 original signed assay certificates, representing 29% of the surface and underground drillhole results to confirm data integrity. Additional QA/QC measures taken include:



| |  | entering surveyed drillhole collar coordinates and downhole deviations into the database and visually validating and comparing to the planned location
of the holes
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | using a software program to check for data errors such as overlapping intervals and out of range values
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | comparing downhole radiometric probing results with radioactivity measurements made on the core and drilling depth measurements
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | validating uranium grades based on radiometric probing with sample assay results once available.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are satisfied with the quality of data obtained from the exploration drilling program and consider it valid for estimating mineral resources and
mineral reserves. Radiometrics of closely spaced underground freezehole drilling have also confirmed the continuity and high grades of the ore zone.

Sample security

We do not know what historic security measures were in place when the
deposit was delineated. Current core logging is carried out in the same facility used during the delineation drilling. It is well removed from the mine site and behind a locked entry gate, which prevents unauthorized access.

All samples were collected and prepared under the close supervision of a qualified geoscientist in a restricted core processing facility. The core
samples are collected and transferred from the core boxes to high strength plastic sample bags then sealed. The sealed bags are then placed in steel drums and shipped under the Transport of Dangerous Goods regulations through our warehouse
facilities at Cigar Lake directly to the laboratory.

We are satisfied with all aspects of sample preparation and assaying. The sampling
records are meticulously documented and samples are whole core assayed to reduce bias, although some ore intersections were sawn in half for display purposes. The assaying was done to a high standard and the QA/QC procedures employed by the
laboratories are adequate.

We believe that the sample security was maintained throughout the process. Furthermore, the continuity and high
grade nature of the ore zone has been confirmed from radiometrics of closely spaced underground freezehole drilling.

Exploration

Exploration is key to ensuring our long-term growth and since 2007 we have more than doubled our annual investment.

LOGO

We carry out exploration mainly in Canada, the US, Australia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and South America, on a
total of approximately 5 million hectares (12.5 million acres) at December 31, 2011.

Our exploration activities include brownfield
exploration near our existing operations, on our projects under evaluation, on advanced exploration projects where uranium mineralization is being defined, regional exploration in new target areas, and alliances or other agreements with junior
exploration companies that own potential uranium targets.

Brownfield exploration

In 2011, we spent $10 million on five brownfield exploration projects, and $38 million for resource definition at Kintyre and at Cigar Lake.

Regional exploration

In 2011, we spent
about $48 million on regional exploration programs (including support costs). Saskatchewan was the largest region, followed by Australia, northern Canada, Asia, and South America.

Plans for 2012

We plan to spend approximately $115 million on uranium exploration in 2012
as part of our long-term strategy.

Brownfield exploration

We plan to spend approximately $15 million on five brownfield exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin and Australia. Our expenditures on projects under evaluation are expected to total $35 million,
with the largest amounts spent on Kintyre and Inkai block 3.

Regional exploration

We plan to spend about $65 million on 49 projects worldwide, the majority of which are at drill target stage. Among the larger expenditures planned are $9
million on two adjacent projects in Nunavut, $9 million to test targets near our US operations and on our satellite properties, $4 million on the Read Lake project, $5 million on targets in South Australia, and $5 million to follow up encouraging
results on the Wellington Range project in Australia.

Markets

UO3is shipped
to Port Hope for conversion into either UF6or UO2, or to Springfields, UK for conversion into UF6.

Production

Our Blind River refinery produced 13.5 million kgU of
UO3this year. This ensured that SFL maintained its
contractual inventories and Port Hope met is production requirements.

Inventory

Inventory of uranium concentrates has been declining compared to historic levels and continues to affect the facilitys operating schedule. In the
past, there was plenty of feedstock because customers stored large inventories at the facility. Customers now hold almost no inventory as concentrates, and provide the feedstock on a just-in-time basis. We manage production to match the conversion
requirements.

Capacity

In
the fall of 2008, the CNSC approved the environmental assessment required to increase the licensed production to 24 million kgU per year. In December 2008, we submitted a written request to the regulator for an amendment to the licence.

In 2011, we started the process to extend Blind Rivers five-year licence to a 10-year licence, and expect the process to be completed
in 2012. As part of the process, we anticipate that the regulator will consider an amendment to the licence to increase production. Once we receive approval, we will be in a position to make plant modifications to increase annual capacity to
24 million kgU per year.

Port Hope, CFM and SFL produced a total of 14.7 million kilograms of uranium in 2011.

Conversion services

At its
UO2plant, Port Hope produces UO2powder, used to make pellets for Canadian and Korean Candu reactors and
blanket fuel for light water nuclear reactors.

At its UF6plant, Port Hope converts UO3to UF6, and then ships it to enrichment plants in the United States and Europe. There, it is processed to become low enriched
UF6, which is subsequently converted to enriched UO2and used as reactor fuel for light water nuclear reactors.

Shutdowns

In July 2007, we discovered soil and groundwater contamination under the Port Hope UF6plant. We suspended production of UF6and conducted an investigation. We restarted the UF6plant in late September 2008, after significantly upgrading the liquid management structures and equipment.

In November 2008, we suspended UF6production a second time because we were not able to resolve a contract dispute and obtain anhydrous hydrofluoric acid
(AHF) from our sole supplier on acceptable terms, and could not quickly source alternative supplies. AHF is a primary feed material for the production of UF6. We signed an agreement with our original AHF supplier, and with two additional suppliers, and restarted production of
UF6in June 2009.

In 2011, the UF6plant was shut down for a maintenance period of six weeks and the UO2plant was shut down for a maintenance period of five weeks.

Environment

In 2009, we completed a
site-wide environmental investigation of subsurface contamination and a site-wide risk assessment to identify contaminants that could pose a potential risk to the environment. We used the results to develop an environmental management plan to
mitigate potential risks. In 2010, we enhanced the plan by adding a number of groundwater retrieval wells. In 2011, we added four additional wells.

Port Hope conversion facility cleanup and modernization (Vision 2010)

The federal Minister
of Environment approved the environmental assessment guidelines in 2009 for Vision 2010, our project designed to clean up the Port Hope facility to appropriate levels and modernize it. The draft environmental impact statement was submitted to the
regulator in December 2010.

In 2011, work on the environmental assessment continued and public comments were provided to the CNSC. We have
completed the disposition of all the comments received, and are waiting to receive approval from the Minister of Environment, which we expect will be in 2012. We will apply for an amendment to Port Hopes licence once the assessment has been
approved. We expect to submit the application in late 2012 or early 2013. The preliminary engineering and project design is complete, and now we are working on basic engineering.

We have agreed to buy two parcels of land for a better site layout after Vision 2010 is complete.

10-year toll conversion agreement

In March 2005, we entered into a 10-year toll-conversion agreement with British Nuclear Fuels plc (BNFL), now Springfields Fuels Ltd. (SFL). Under the agreement, SFL has agreed to convert 5 million
kilograms of UO3per year to UF6. Our Blind River facility provides the UO3, and we entered into several long-term contracts for significant volumes
of conversion services provided under this agreement.

Based on the unfavourable market conditions for UF6conversion, we have discontinued discussions to extend our toll
conversion contract with SFL beyond 2016. We are fully committed to the current contract. If market conditions improve over the next few years, we would consider resuming our discussions to extend the contract.

Fuel manufacturing

CFMs main business is making fuel bundles for Candu reactors. CFM presses UO2powder into pellets that are loaded into tubes, manufactured by CFM, and
then assembled into fuel bundles. These bundles are ready to insert into a Candu reactor core.

Manufacturing services agreements

A substantial portion of CFMs business is the supply of fuel bundles to BPLP and BALP. We supply the UO2for these fuel bundles.

About the generating facilities

Location

250 kilometres northwest of Toronto on Lake Huron.

Infrastructure



| |  | four Bruce B Candu reactors: commissioned between 1984 and 1987 and have a combined net generating capacity of 3,260 megawatts
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | four Bruce A Candu reactors: commissioned between 1977 and 1979 and have a combined generating capacity of 3,000 megawatts. These were removed from
service from 1995 and 1998. In 2003 and 2004, two of them were returned to service, and these have a combined net generating capacity of 1,500 megawatts. The Bruce A1 and A2 units are scheduled to start again in 2012.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Average capacity factor

87% in 2011,
and 91% in 2010. We expect it to be 95% in 2012.

Average capacity factor is the amount of electricity the four Bruce B reactors actually
produced for sale as a percentage of the amount they were capable of producing.

Capital expenditures

$243 million in 2011. We expect capital expenditures to be $258 million in 2012 (100% basis).

Employees

4,000 BPLP employees, mostly unionized. Employee costs are apportioned between
BPLP and BALP.

About Candu technology

Candu is a pressurized-heavy-water natural-uranium power reactor designed in the 1960s by a consortium of Canadian government agencies and private industry. All commercial nuclear reactors in Canada use
Candu technology.

Candu reactors are different from light water reactors in several ways:



| |  | they are fuelled by natural uranium (UO2)
|- |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  | they use deuterium oxide, or heavy water, both to slow down the fission process and to transfer heat within the reactor
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | they can be refuelled without being taken offline.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------

Despite their ability to be refueled at full power, the Bruce Candu reactors have a higher number of outage days per year than the average for light water reactors, mainly because of the time required for
maintenance and repair of pressure tubes and feeders, which light water reactors do not use.

Shutdown systems

Every Bruce reactor has two physically separate and independent systems designed to shut down the reactor within two seconds from when the system is
activated. The Bruce reactors also have an emergency core coolant injection system, which activates if a pipe breaks in the reactor coolant system, and a negative pressure containment system designed to safely contain radioactive material.

Unit power ratings

Before
BPLP leased the Bruce reactors, studies revealed that emergency shutdown systems might not have sufficient safety margins for certain low probability events. As a result, the CNSC began limiting the four Bruce B units to operating at 90% of maximum
power.

BPLP has had some success in addressing this issue, by reordering the fuel core for example, which has improved safety margins. In
2004, the CNSC approved the uprating of the Bruce B5, 6 and 7 units to up to 93% of maximum power. The Bruce B8 unit received this rating in March 2010.



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 69 | 



---

BPLP is looking at other ways to address this issue, including modifying the reactor shutdown systems and
making minor modifications to the existing fuel design.

BPLP believes the technical steps it is taking are sufficient to address the issue,
but future derating is possible, including small deratings to maintain operating safety margins as the units age.

Operating life

The Bruce B nuclear units were initially expected to operate for 30 years.

Based on a testing program and the actual operating history of the units to date, BPLP estimates the units will operate until:



| |  | 2021 for the Bruce B8 unit
|- |  | --------------------------



| |  | 2018 to 2019 for the other three B units.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------

BPLP is looking at whether it can demonstrate that longer operating life is possible for the units. It has also been assessing the condition and life expectancy of several of their key components,
including steam generators, fuel channels and feeder pipes.

Steam generators

As of December 31, 2010, BPLP had inspected all of the Bruce B steam generators and determined their present condition with a reasonable degree of certainty. BPLP believes that all of the inner tubes
in the steam generators are likely to degrade, and that regular cleaning, repairs and internal modifications are necessary to slow down the rates of degradation and restore reliability of the units. BPLP continues to carry out a maintenance plan
with the goal of keeping the steam generators operating for the expected life of the units. Current estimates of steam generator life are within the estimated operating lives of the units.

In 2003, inspections of the Bruce B8 unit identified some erosion on the support plates in three of the eight steam generators. BPLP repaired the damage and did not find any issues with the boiler
tubes. It inspected the other units and did not find any similar issues, and follow-up inspections of the B8 unit did not show any further significant degradation.An inspection in 2009 confirmed that the mitigating
actions appear to have been effective at stopping the erosion on these support plates.

Fuel channels

Past engineering assessments have indicated that the fuel channels will last until the end of the estimated operating lives for the Bruce B units,
and current inspections support this. In 2001, BPLP began a maintenance program to reposition the support springs in the fuel channels to ensure life expectancy. The support springs in the Bruce B8 unit also need to be repositioned, but this unit
has tight fitting garter springs. BPLP is developing new tooling to locate and move the springs, and is now targeting implementation in 2013.

Feeder pipes

BPLP has carried out inspections to determine the condition of the feeder
pipes in the Bruce B units. Feeder pipes are part of the system that transports the heat generated by the nuclear reactor to the steam generators, using the heavy water coolant. The feeder pipes in all Candu reactors thin and degrade to varying
degrees, and this is the subject of industry studies and monitoring. The Bruce B units have degraded to a lesser extent than other Candu units. This difference is due to a combination of lower operating stresses and, to a limited extent, their
output rating.

BPLP inspects for pipe cracking during planned outages, but has not found any cracking to date. It increased the scale of
these inspections, however, in response to the cracking of feeder pipes at two Candu plants outside Ontario, where the cracked sections were replaced and the units returned to service.

BPLP does not expect the feeder pipes to limit the life of the Bruce B units, although they do expect to have to replace some feeder pipes, and to replace and upgrade pipes for safe operation during the
operating lives of the units.

Relationship with our fuel manufacturing and UO2businesses

Sales to BPLP and BALP are a substantial portion of our fuel manufacturing business and an important part of our UO2business.

Financial commitments

Our total commitment for financial assurances given on behalf of
BPLP was an estimated $77 million at December 31, 2011.

These include guarantees in favour of OPG under the lease (as discussed below)
and guarantees to support BPLPs power purchase agreements with customers. This last commitment is adjusted as wholesale electricity market prices change. As at December 31, 2011, our actual exposure was $11 million. See note 31 to the
2011 financial statements.

The BPLP partners have agreed that all future excess cash will be distributed on a monthly basis and that separate
cash calls will be made for major capital projects.

Reliance on OPG

OPG provides services to BPLP, including some that are necessary for BPLP to comply with its CNSC operating licences.

The material long-term OPG services include:



| |  | services related to the supply, delivery and processing of heavy water
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | low level and intermediate waste storage and disposal services
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | collection and storage of used fuel bundles (see page 90 for more information about nuclear waste management and decommissioning).
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lease payments to OPG

Under the lease, OPG is responsible for decommissioning liabilities. These are covered by BPLPs payments under the lease. OPG can ask for limited adjustments to the base rent every five years during
the initial lease period to reflect increases in the anticipated cost of decommissioning.

In 2006, OPG completed its first five-year review
and proposed an increase of $14.8 million to the annual base rate over the remaining initial term of the lease. BPLP disagreed with the proposal.

In October 2008, the matter was resolved by agreement between OPG and BPLP and the base rent was not increased. BPLP is, however, required to pay the higher base rent retroactively to when it was
proposed, in any one of the following situations:



| |  | if BPLP fails to renew the lease past 2027
|- |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  | if a BPLP material event of default occurs under the lease prior to June 30, 2027
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | if BPLP terminates the lease prematurely because it is no longer economically viable to operate the facility.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2011, OPG completed the second five-year review of the estimated decommissioning costs which is now being reviewed by the Ontario Financing Authority
(OFA). The updated estimate decreased compared to the review completed in 2006 and therefore no adjustments to the base rent are anticipated. The OFA review should be completed in 2012.

In addition to base rent, BPLP pays an annual supplemental rent ($30 million) for each Bruce B operating reactor that increases with inflation. If the annual average price of electricity falls below $30
per megawatt hour, the supplemental rent decreases to $12 million per operating reactor.

In 2011, the total lease payments were $168 million.

BPLP can also terminate the lease if it is no longer economically viable to operate the facility, as long as it:



| |  | pays a lease termination fee of $175 million
|- |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  | pays the increase in base rent specified in the 2008 settlement with OPG
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | meets specified ongoing operational requirements during handover
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 71 | 



---

| |  | meets specified shut-down conditions before handover.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------

We have guaranteed BPLPs performance of these obligations to a maximum amount of $58.3 million.

Reinforcing the system

The transmission system from the Bruce Power site will need to be
reinforced once all eight units are back in service and the expected wind powered facilities in the Bruce area are operational. This involves adding a new 500 kilovolt line between Bruce Power and Milton, essentially doubling the current
transmission capacity. Hydro One is planning for the transmission reinforcement to be in service in 2012.

Mineral reserves and resources

Our mineral reserves and resources are the foundation of our company and fundamental to our success.

We have interests in a number of uranium properties. The tables in this section show our estimates of the proven and probable reserves, measured and indicated resources and inferred resources at those
properties. However, only three of the uranium properties listed in those tables are material uranium properties for us: McArthur River and Inkai, which are being mined, and Cigar Lake, which is being developed.

We estimate and disclose mineral reserves and resources in five categories, using the definitions adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy
and Petroleum, and in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101  Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101), developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators. You can find out more about these categories at
cim.org.

About mineral resources

Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability but do have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. They fall into three categories: measured, indicated and inferred. Our reported
mineral resources do not include mineral reserves.



| |  | Measured and indicated mineral resources can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and
economic parameters to support evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | measured resources: we can confirm both geological and grade continuity to support production planning.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | indicated resources: we can reasonably assume geological and grade continuity to support mine planning.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Inferred mineral resources are estimated using limited information. We do not have enough confidence to evaluate their economic viability in a
meaningful way. You should not assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About mineral reserves

Mineral reserves
are the economically mineable part of measured or indicated mineral resources demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. They fall into two categories:



| |  | proven reserves: the economically mineable part of a measured resource for which a preliminary feasibility study demonstrates that economic
extraction is justified.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | probable reserves: the economically mineable part of a measured and/or indicated resource for which a preliminary feasibility study demonstrates
that economic extraction can be justified.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We use current geological models, an average uranium price
of $58 (US) per pound U3O8(unless otherwise noted), and current or projected operating costs and
mine plans to estimate our mineral reserves, allowing for dilution and mining losses. We apply our standard data verification process for every estimate.

We report mineral reserves as the quantity of contained ore supporting our mining plans, and include an estimate of the metallurgical recovery for each uranium property. Metallurgical recovery is an
estimate of the amount of valuable product that can be physically recovered by the metallurgical extraction process, and is calculated by multiplying the quantity of contained metal by the estimated metallurgical recovery percentage. Our share of
uranium in the mineral reserves table below is before accounting for estimated metallurgical recovery.

River/Key Lake, Inkai and Cigar Lake) were prepared by, or under the supervision of, individuals who are qualified persons for the purposes of NI 43-101:

Important information about mineral reserve and resource estimates

Although we have carefully prepared and verified the mineral reserve and resource figures in this document, the figures are estimates, based in part on
forward-looking information.

Estimates are based on our knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results, the quality of available
data and managements best judgment. They are, however, imprecise by nature, may change over time, and include many variables and assumptions including:



| |  | geological interpretation
|- |  | -------------------------



| |  | extraction plans
|- |  | ----------------



| |  | commodity prices and currency exchange rates
|- |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  | recovery rates
|- |  | --------------



| |  | operating and capital costs.
|- |  | ----------------------------

There is no assurance that the indicated levels of uranium will be produced, and we may have to re-estimate our mineral reserves based on actual production experience. Changes in the price of uranium,
production costs or recovery rates could make it unprofitable for us to operate or develop a particular site or sites for a period of time. See page 1 for information about forward-looking information, and page 99 for a discussion of the
risks that can affect our business.

Please see page 79 for the specific assumptions, parameters and methods used for the McArthur River,
Cigar Lake and Inkai mineral reserve and resource estimates.

Important information for US investors

While the terms measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources are recognized and required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities, the US
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not recognize them. Under US standards, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless it has been determined at the time of reporting that the mineralization could be economically
and legally produced or extracted. US investors should not assume that:



| |  | any or all of a measured or indicated mineral resource will ever be converted into proven or probable mineral reserves
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | any or all of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable, or will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian
securities regulations, estimates of inferred resources may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility studies. Inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The requirements of Canadian securities regulators for identification of reserves are also not
the same as those of the SEC, and mineral reserves reported by us in accordance with Canadian requirements may not qualify as reserves under SEC standards.

Other information concerning descriptions of mineralization, mineral reserves and resources may not be comparable to information made public by companies that comply with the SECs reporting and
disclosure requirements for US domestic mining companies, including Industry Guide 7.

Notes

ISR - in situ recovery

Estimates in the above
table:



| |  | use an average uranium price of $58.00 (US)/lb U3O8, except for Cigar Lake which uses an average uranium price of $61.00 (US)/lb U3O8
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | are based on an average exchange rate of $1.00 US=$1.02 Cdn, except Cigar Lake, which is based on an average exchange rate of $1.00 US=$1.10 Cdn
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Totals may not add up due to rounding.

Except for the possible Inkai permitting issue referred to below, we do not expect these mineral reserve estimates to be materially affected by metallurgical, environmental, permitting, legal, taxation,
socio-economic, political, marketing or other relevant issues.

Metallurgical recovery

We report mineral reserves as the quantity of contained ore supporting our mining plans, and include an estimate of the metallurgical recovery for each
uranium property. Metallurgical recovery is an estimate of the amount of valuable product that can be physically recovered by the metallurgical extraction process, and is calculated by multiplying quantity of contained metal (content) by the
estimated metallurgical recovery percentage. Our share of uranium in the table above is before accounting for estimated metallurgical recovery.

Estimates for Inkai

Our 2012 and future annual production targets and mineral reserve estimate for Inkai assume and we expect:



| |  | Inkai will obtain the necessary government permits and approvals to produce at an annual rate of 5.2 million pounds (100% basis), including an
amendment to the resource use contract
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | we reach a binding agreement with Kazatomprom to finalize the terms of the memorandum of agreement
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Inkai will ramp up production to an annual rate of 5.2 million pounds (100% basis).
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no certainty Inkai will receive these permits or approvals or we will reach a binding agreement with Kazatomprom or that Inkai will be able to
ramp up production. If Inkai does not, or if the permits and approvals are delayed, Inkai may be unable to achieve its 2012 and future annual production targets and we may have to recategorize some of Inkais mineral reserves as resources.

Changes this year

The table
below shows the change in our share of mineral reserves for each property in 2011. The change was mostly the result of:



| |  | mining and milling activities, which used 23.4 million pounds
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | conversion of probable mineral reserves to proven mineral reserves from additional drilling results and/or refinements to the mining and freezing plans
at McArthur River and Cigar Lake
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | conversion of mineral reserves to mineral resources for portions of Gas Hills-Peach and North Butte-Brown Ranch where it was recognized that the
project risks and economic assessments could be improved by modeling individual roll-fronts instead of combining them as one mineralized unit
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | a requirement at Inkai to produce equal amounts from blocks 1 and 2 which resulted in an update of the life of mine production schedule and conversion
of pounds from mineral reserves to mineral resources.

Notes

Throughput corresponds to millfeed. The difference between 2011 millfeed and Camecos share of 2011 pounds U3O8produced is from mill recovery, mill inventory and processing low-grade material.

Additions (deletions) come from reassessing geological data, gathering data from drilling, mining and milling, and reclassifying material as either a mineral reserve or a mineral resource, as applicable.

Changes this year

The table below shows the change in our share of mineral resources for each property in 2011. The change was mostly the result of:



| |  | first time reporting of mineral resources at Kintyre
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  | conversion of inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources at McArthur River
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | conversion of mineral reserves to mineral resources at Gas-Hills Peach and Inkai
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | a requirement at Inkai to produce equal amounts from blocks 1 and 2 which resulted in an update of the life of mine production schedule and transfer of
pounds from mineral reserves to mineral resources
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | additional drilling at Cigar Lake.
|- |  | ----------------------------------

mineral reserve or a mineral resource, as applicable.

Key assumptions, parameters and methods

McArthur River

Key assumptions



| |  | Mineral reserves include allowances for dilution (20%) and mining recovery (95%). Mineral resources do not include allowances for either.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Mineral resources are estimated at a minimum mineralized thickness of 1.0 metre and at a cutoff grade of 0.1% to 0.5% U3O8. Mineral reserves are estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.8% U3O8.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key parameters



| |  | For mineral resources estimated from surface drillholes, the uranium grade is determined from assay sample.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | For mineral resources and mineral reserves estimated from underground drillholes, grades are determined by converting radiometric probing to percentage
U3O8based on a correlation between radiometric counts and assay values.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Densities are determined using formulas based on density measurements of drill core and chemical assay grades.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Mineral reserves at McArthur River are estimated using the raisebore, boxhole and blasthole stoping methods combined with freeze curtains. The planned
mining rate is to vary between 150 and 200 tonnes per day at a full mill production rate of 18.7 million pounds
U3O8per year based on 98.7% mill recovery.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 79 | 



---

Key methods



| |  | Mineral resources were estimated using 3-dimensional block models. The models were created from the geological interpretation of mineralization
outlines using lithology, structure and uranium grade information interpreted on vertical cross-sections and plan views. Estimates of block grade and density were obtained with ordinary kriging or inverse squared distance methods.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cigar Lake

Key assumptions



| |  | Phase 1 mineral resources (the eastern part of the deposit, 700 metres long by 150 metres wide) have been estimated within minimum mineralization
thickness of 1.0 metres and a cut-off grade of 1% U3O8. The Phase 2 mineral resources (the western part of the deposit, 1,200
metres long by 100 metres wide) have been estimated with a minimum mineralization thickness of 2.5 metres, including 1.0 metres of dilution and a cut-off grade of 5.9% U3O8.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Phase 1 mineral resources have been estimated with no allowance for mining dilution or mining recovery. No mining recovery was applied to Phase 2
mineral resources.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Mineral reserves have been estimated at a cut-off grade of 2.0% U3O8and a minimum mineral thickness of 1.5 metres, after measuring the diluted grade.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Mineral reserves have been estimated with an allowance of 0.5 metres of dilution material above and below the ore zone, plus 11% external dilution at
0%
U3O8. Mineral reserves have been estimated based on 90% mining recovery.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key parameters



| |  | Grades of U3O8were obtained
from chemical assaying of drill core and checked against radiometric probing results. In areas of lost core or missing samples, the grade was determined from probing.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | A correlation between uranium grade and density was applied where the density was not directly measured for each sample.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Mining rates are planned to vary between 100 and 140 tonnes per day during peak production at a full mill production rate of 18 million pounds of
U3O8per year based on 98.5% mill recovery.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key methods



| |  | The geological interpretation of the orebody outline was done on section and plan views derived from drillhole information. Phase 1 mineral resources
and mineral reserves were estimated using a 3-dimensional block model. Phase 2 mineral resources were estimated using a 2-dimensional block model. Ordinary kriging was used to estimate the grade and density of the blocks.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inkai



| |  | The estimated mineral resources and reserves at Inkai are located in blocks 1 and 2. No mineral resources or reserves have been estimated for block 3.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The resource models follow the Kazakhstan State Committee of Mineral Reserves (GKZ) guide and use the Grade-Thickness (GT) estimation method on
2-dimensional blocks in plan. They were created by Volkovgeology, a subsidiary of Kazatomprom which is responsible for prospecting, exploration and development of uranium deposits in Kazakhstan. We performed a validation of the Kazakh reserves
estimate for block 1 in 2003, and confirmed the estimated pounds of uranium to within 2.5% of the Kazakh estimate. The Kazakh estimate was also validated by an independent consulting firm in 2005. In 2007, we and an independent consulting firm
verified the block 2 Kazakh mineral reserves estimate and obtained results that were consistent with the Kazakh estimate.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Historic drilling pattern densities over blocks 1 and 2 were sufficient to satisfy the Kazakhstan State Reserve Commission requirements in defining
reserves in the C2, C1 and B categories within block 1 and C2 and C1 categories within block 2.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| |  | Our reconciliation of the Kazakh classification system to the CIM standard definitions are set out in Section 6.3 (Table 6-4) of the Inkai
technical report. We believe that Kazakhstans reserves categories B, C1 and C2 correspond respectively to NI 43-101 mineral resource categories of measured, indicated and inferred.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key assumptions



| |  | Dilution and mining loss are not relevant factors because Inkai uses in situ recovery as the uranium extraction method. The recovery obtained from the
in situ leaching process is included in the metallurgical recovery.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Mineral reserves have been estimated at a minimum grade-thickness of 0.130 m% U3O8.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key parameters



| |  | Grades (%U3O8) were
obtained from downhole gamma radiometric probing of drillholes, checked against assay results and prompt-fission neutron probing results in order to account for disequilibrium.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | An average density of 1.70 t/m3 was used, based on historical and current sample measurements.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | In situ recovery production rates are planned to vary between 13,000 and 16,000 lbs U3O8per day at a full mill production rate of 5.2 million lbs of U3O8per year based on 85% recovery.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key methods



| |  | The geological interpretation of the orebody outline was done on section and plan views derived from core drillhole information.

Sustainable development

Companies are under growing scrutiny for the way they conduct their businesses. There has been a significant increase in stakeholder expectations for environmentally and socially responsible business
practices. We work under strict government regulation at every stage  from exploration and development, to decommissioning and reclamation.

Rather than viewing sustainable development as an add-on to traditional business activity, however, we see it as an integral component to the way we do business. Our aim is to fully integrate
sustainable development principles and practices at each level of our operations. We are committed to complying with and moving beyond legal and other requirements, and we operate in a manner that is consistent with the ALARA principle: protecting
the environment by limiting emissions and managing waste so levels are as low as reasonably achievable, accounting for social and economic factors.

We measure our progress using 23 key performance indicators that reinforce our corporate strategy and align with our four measures of success:

Safe and rewarding workplace

As we strive to foster a safe, healthy and rewarding
workplace at all of our facilities, we measure key indicators such as conventional safety and radiation protection statistics, employee sentiment toward the company and employment creation.

Clean environment

We are committed to operating our business with respect and care for the
local and global environment. We strive to be a leader in environmental practices and performance by complying with legal and other requirements, and moving beyond them where possible.

We are committed to integrating environmental leadership into everything we do. Part of the way we determine our progress is by measuring our impact on air, water and land near our operations as well as
generation of waste and emissions.

Supportive communities

We work to build and sustain the trust of local communities by acting as a good corporate citizen. We measure the amount invested in communities through sponsorships and donations, community support
through annual polling and regional employment figures.

Outstanding financial performance

To fulfill our vision, we must be competitive and secure the support of our stakeholders. We measure our financial performance based on our ability to
achieve a number of strategic objectives, which are set and reviewed annually.

Our 2011 and 2012 objectives are based on, and our performance
is measured against, these four measures of success. See our 2011 MD&A for our 2011 objectives, our performance against those objectives and our 2012 objectives.

Focus on environmental leadership

Our business by its nature has an impact on the
environment, so environmental leadership is a key area of focus for us and a strategic priority for our operations.

Environmental leadership
is reinforced by our systematic approach to safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) issues. We have integrated this approach into activities at our operating properties and our planning process for major projects. We also have conceptual
decommissioning plans in place for all of our operating sites.

We report our performance over a three-year period. You can find this
information on our website (cameco.com) and in our sustainable development report, which is also available on our website.

SHEQ management system

We introduced our environmental, safety and health policies in 1991, and have refined our approach over the years to form our overall integrated management system: the SHEQ management system.

The system includes our statement of environmental principles, and seven programs for implementing the policies and fulfilling our commitments in these
areas.

Our environmental principles



| |  | keep risks at levels as low as reasonably achievable, accounting for social and economic factors
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | prevent pollution
|- |  | -----------------



| |  | comply with and move beyond legal compliance requirements
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  | ensure quality of processes, products and services
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  | continually improve our overall performance.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------

Seven SHEQ programs



| |  | Quality management program
|- |  | --------------------------



| |  | Safety and health management program
|- |  | ------------------------------------



| |  | Radiation protection program
|- |  | ----------------------------



| |  | Environment management program
|- |  | ------------------------------



| |  | Management system audit program
|- |  | -------------------------------



| |  | Emergency preparedness and response program
|- |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  | Contractor management program
|- |  | -----------------------------

We benchmark our system against those used by other companies in the mining and nuclear power generation sectors. The boards safety, health and environment committee oversees our environmental
policies and programs and our environmental performance on behalf of the board. Our chief executive officer is responsible for ensuring the system is implemented across the company.

Our SHEQ management system is centralized and managed at the corporate level, and we implement it corporately and at our operations.

The corporate audit program assesses our compliance with laws, regulations, permit requirements, our SHEQ related policies and programs, and how well the sites are managing requirements and reducing risk.

The SHEQ audit function is integrated with our other internal audit functions. We generally conduct a SHEQ audit every 18 to 24 months at
each operating site, and every 12 months at every construction or development site.

SHEQ activity at the operations focuses on consistently
applying policies and procedures, and providing help with technical issues. The sites carry out internal audits to make sure their programs meet Cameco standards and comply with regulatory requirements. The SHEQ management system is also part of our
program to manage environmental risks at the operations and meet the requirements of ISO 14001. All of our operating sites are ISO 14001 certified.

In 2011, we invested:



| |  | $99 million in environmental protection, monitoring and assessment programs, or 30% more than 2010
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | $30 million in health and safety programs, or 12% less than 2010.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

Spending for health and safety programs in 2012 is expected to be similar to 2011, while spending for environmental programs is expected to increase slightly.

We had 31 reportable environmental events in 2011, compared to 22 in 2010, however, there were no significant environmental incidents in 2010 and 2011.

In 2011, we achieved strong safety performance at our operations.

You can find more information about our SHEQ management system on our website.

Reducing our impact

Our internal team of specialists has been carrying out our long-term plan to reduce the impact we have on the environment. This includes monitoring and reducing our effect on air, water and land, reducing
the greenhouse gases we produce and the amount of energy we consume, and managing the effects of waste.

We are investing in management
systems and safety initiatives to achieve operational excellence, and this continues to improve our safety and environmental performance and operating efficiency.

We are maximizing the lifespan of our operating sites to limit the environmental impact of our operations, and are revitalizing the Key Lake mill (in operation for 29 years) and Rabbit Lake mill (in
operation for 37 years).

Like other large industrial organizations, we use chemicals in our operations that could be hazardous to our health
and the environment if they are not handled correctly. We train our employees in the proper use of hazardous substances and in emergency response techniques.

We work with communities who are affected by our activities to tell them what we are doing and to receive feedback and further input, to build and sustain their trust. In Saskatchewan, we participate in
the Athabasca Working Group and Northern Saskatchewan Environmental Quality Committee. In Ontario, we liaise with the community by regularly holding educational and environment-focused activities.

Land

Our 10 operating sites affect
approximately 30 square kilometres of land  a relatively small area compared to what would be required to generate the same amount of energy using other technologies.

Our current mines in northern Saskatchewan are underground mines so the impact on the surface land is minimal. We use ISR mining in the U.S. and Kazakhstan to extract uranium from underground non-potable,
brackish aquifers, so the impact on the surface there is also minimal.

Water

We are continually looking to improve processes and adopt new technologies to improve how we manage process water, and the effect it has on receiving water bodies.

We are reducing the concentrations of molybdenum and selenium in the effluent released from our northern Saskatchewan mines and mills because the
continued release of these substances at higher levels may impact the environment.

Key Lake

The CNSC accepted our action plan in 2007 to reduce molybdenum and selenium discharges in Key Lake mill effluent, and made it a condition of the
facilitys operating licence. We have since reduced the concentrations of both substances in the effluent and the treatment circuit continues to perform well with consistent control of effluent concentrations.

McArthur River

We are reducing the
amount of molybdenum McArthur River discharges into the environment:



| |  | The three shafts at the site seep good quality water. We are capturing it and using it for underground mining, rather than piping more water down from
the surface.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The water quality from shaft 3 has been assessed and approved for discharge to the environment without treatment, so we discharge all excess water
picked up in shaft 3 directly to the environment. This keeps the water away from underground processes, reducing the concentration of molybdenum.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We are studying how to send excess water from the other shafts directly to the surface water treatment plant.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect these activities to reduce both the volume of effluent treated and the concentration of molybdenum in the effluent. As part of the most recent
CNSC re-licensing, we committed to a target for lowering molybdenum and have been using a staged approach to optimize the treatment. We have implemented a number of specific activities that



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 84 | 



---

have led to significantly lower concentrations and loadings and results that are consistently below this target.

Rabbit Lake

We modified the Rabbit Lake mill in 2009 and reduced discharges of molybdenum
and selenium.

We installed a water treatment circuit in 2006 to reduce uranium in the discharge and, as of 2007, there is an average of 10
times less uranium being discharged than there was before 2004 calculated on an annual basis.

We continually monitor the environment to
verify that the improvements we made in the mill effluent treatment process are having the planned effect of reducing the impact on the receiving environment.

Fuel Services

We discovered soil and groundwater contamination under
the Port Hope UF6conversion plant in July 2007, and
suspended operation to investigate. See Shutdowns on page 67 for information about the environmental effect of the incident, how we responded and the steps we took to resume operation of the plant.

We also shut down the UO2plant for an extended planned maintenance period in 2008, and brought floors and in-floor structures up to the new
standards of the UF6plant. We discovered a leaking sump,
which appeared to be the source of some localized contaminated ground water we found in an earlier assessment. We installed a new groundwater collection well next to the UO2plant to control contaminated groundwater, and reopened the plant in mid-January 2009.

Improvements to the UF6and UO2plants cost $50 million. We also spent $14 million to remediate the contaminated soil and groundwater from the Port Hope
UF6plant.

All fuel services sites have environmental management systems that are ISO14001 registered, and CFM received its registration in 2011. Continuous
improvement is a key aspect of the management systems, and both our Port Hope Conversion Facility and Blind River Refinery have successfully reduced emissions.

In our efforts to reduce the potential risks of our operations, Blind River has successfully eliminated the use of anhydrous ammonia in the refining process while still meeting the current production
requirements.

United States

The ISR method we use in the US involves extracting uranium from underground non-potable aquifers by dissolving the uranium with a carbonate-based water
solution and pumping it to a processing facility on the surface. After mining has been completed, an ISR wellfield must be restored according to regulatory requirements. This generally involves restoring the groundwater to its pre-mining state or
equivalent class of use water standard.

We have 10 wellfields under restoration. See page 91 for more information.

Kazakhstan

The ISR mining method we use
at Inkai uses an acid in the mining solution to extract uranium from underground non-potable aquifers. The injection and recovery system is engineered to prevent the mining solution from migrating to the aquifer above the orebody, which has water
with higher purity.

Kazakhstan does not require active restoration of post-mining groundwater. After a number of decommissioning steps are
taken, natural attenuation of the residual acid in the mined out horizon, as a passive form of groundwater restoration, has been accepted. Attenuation is a combination of neutralization of the groundwater residual acid content by interaction with
the host rock minerals and other chemical reactions which immobilize residual groundwater contaminants in the mined-out subsoil horizon. This approach is considered acceptable because it results in water quality similar to the pre-mining baseline
status.

Air

The table below
shows our most recent data on our greenhouse gas emissions. We follow the general guidelines outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to qualify greenhouse gas emissions.

|Greenhouse gas emissions include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and
perfluorocarbons (PFCs) expressed as a carbon equivalent
(CO2e). |  |      |         |  |      |  |         |      |  |  |         | 

The greenhouse gas emissions have been slowly increasing since 2005. Expansion of our operations has caused increases in
fuel consumption, and therefore emissions, as expected.

Port Hope

We have lowered emissions of uranium and hydrofluoric acid to the air by installing new equipment and changing the operating procedures.

McArthur River

McArthur River has a large refrigeration plant that produces cold brine
used for freezing the area of the deposit being mined. The plant uses refrigerants, but they are not ozone-depleting chemicals that harm the earths atmosphere.

Cigar Lake

Cigar Lake has a large refrigeration plant that produces cold brine used for
freezing certain areas of the deposit as we prepare it for mining. The plant uses refrigerants, but they are not ozone-depleting chemicals that harm the earths atmosphere.

Key Lake

While our current emissions meet all regulatory requirements,
we installed a new acid plant at Key Lake that will substantially decrease SO2emissions.

Rabbit Lake

Substantial upgrades to the acid plant at Rabbit Lake have resulted in an approximate 70% reduction in the mean SO2stack emissions (to 85 kg/day from 300 kg/day).

Waste

Our mines and mills in northern
Saskatchewan account for most of the tailings and waste rock our operations generate.

We treat the mill tailings at Rabbit Lake and Key Lake
to stabilize contaminants before depositing them in tailings management facilities (in mined-out open pits near the mills).

We divert
groundwater and surface water around the tailings management facilities, monitor the water to make sure it is not impacted by the tailings, and treat it if necessary. We monitor all runoff and treat any seepage water from waste rock piles as needed.
We stockpile some waste rock to blend with higher grade ores. We contour other waste rock piles and revegetate them before decommissioning the site. We continue to monitor groundwater after the facility has been decommissioned.

Complying with environmental regulations

Our business is required to comply with laws and regulations that are designed to protect the environment and control the management of hazardous wastes
and materials. Some laws and regulations focus on environmental issues in general, and others are specifically related to mining and the nuclear sector. They change often, with requirements increasing, and existing standards are being applied more
stringently. While this dynamic promotes continuous improvement, it can increase expenses and capital expenditures, or limit or delay our activities.

Government legislation and regulation in various jurisdictions establish standards for system performance, standards, objectives and guidelines for air and water quality emissions, and other design or
operational requirements for the various SHEQ components of our operations and the mines that we plan to develop. We must complete an

---

environmental assessment before we begin developing a new mine or start processing activities, or make any significant change to a plan that has already been approved. Once we have permanently
stopped mining and processing activities, we are required to decommission and reclaim the operating site to the satisfaction of the regulator, and we may be required to actively manage former mining properties for many years.

Canada

Not only is there ongoing
regulatory oversight by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, and Environment Canada, but there is also public scrutiny of the impact our operations have
on the environment.

The CNSC, an independent regulatory authority established by the federal government under the Canadian Nuclear Safety
and Control Act (NSCA), is our main federal regulator in Canada. It regulates our compliance with the NSCA and is the federal lead for environmental assessments required to be carried out under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.

The primary objectives of an environmental assessment are to ensure that:



| |  | potential adverse environmental effects are considered before proceeding with a project
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | projects that cause unjustifiable, significant adverse environmental effects are not permitted to proceed
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | appropriate measures are implemented, where necessary, to mitigate risk.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally, the environmental assessment process takes more than two years to complete. Our plans to expand production or build new mines in Saskatchewan are subject to this process, and we currently have
a number of environmental assessments underway, including comprehensive studies and screening level assessments. In certain cases, a review panel may be appointed and public hearings held.

Over the past few years, CNSC audits of our operations have focused on the following SHEQ programs:





radiation protection  

environmental monitoring  

fire protection  

operational quality assurance  

organization and management systems effectiveness




transportation systems  

geotechnical monitoring  

training  

ventilation systems




Improving our environmental performance is challenging, and we have several initiatives underway:



| |  | dealing with more stringent controls on fugitive uranium emissions from ventilation systems at fuel services facilities
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | optimizing performance of our facilities to reduce molybdenum and selenium loadings
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | lessening the impacts our facilities have on groundwater.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

Many of these initiatives have required additional environmental studies near the operations, and we expect that we will have to do more, including environmental assessments.

It can take a significant amount of time for regulators to make requested changes to a licence or grant requested approval because the proposal may
require an environmental assessment or an extensive review of supporting technical data, management programs and procedures. We are improving the quality of our proposals and submissions and have introduced a number of programs to ensure we continue
to comply with regulatory requirements, but this has also increased our capital expenditures and our operating costs.

As our SHEQ management
system matures, regulators review our programs more often and recommend ways to improve our SHEQ performance. These recommendations are generally procedural and do not involve large capital costs, although systems applications can be significant and
result in higher operating costs.

We believe that regulatory expectations of the CNSC and other federal and provincial regulators will
continue to evolve, and lead to changes to both requirements and the regulatory framework. This will likely increase our expenses.

United States

Our ISR operations in the US have to meet federal, state and local regulations governing air emissions, water discharges, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and site reclamation, among other
things.

Mining activities have to meet comprehensive environmental regulations from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Bureau
of Land Management, Environmental Protection Agency and state environmental agencies. The process of obtaining mine permits and licences generally takes several years, and involves environmental assessment reports, public hearings and comments. We
have the permits and licences for the US operations that we need to meet our 2012 production plans.

Our plans to expand our US ISR
production, which includes adding satellite facilities to our operating mines in Wyoming and Nebraska, are subject to an environmental assessment process that can take several years.

After mining is complete, ISR wellfields have to be restored according to regulatory requirements. This generally involves restoring the groundwater to its pre-mining state or equivalent class of use
water standard. Restoration of Crow Butte wellfields is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and the NRC. Restoration of Smith Ranch-Highland wellfields is regulated by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality and the
NRC. See page 91 for the status of wellfield restoration and regulatory approvals.

Kazakhstan

In its resource use contract with the Kazakhstan government, Inkai committed to conducting its operations according to good international mining
practices. It complies with the environmental requirements of Kazakhstan legislation and regulations, and, as an industrial company, it must also reduce, control or eliminate various kinds of pollution and protect natural resources. Inkai is
required to submit annual reports on pollution levels to the Kazakhstan environmental, tax and statistics authorities. The authorities conduct tests to validate Inkais results.

Environmental protection legislation in Kazakhstan has evolved rapidly, especially in recent years. As the subsoil use sector has evolved, there has been a trend towards greater regulation, heightened
enforcement and greater liability for non-compliance. The most significant development was the adoption of the Ecological Code, dated January 9, 2007 and in effect as of February 3, 2007. This code replaced the three main laws that
had related to environmental protection. Amendments were made to the code in December 2011 that include more stringent environmental protection regulations, particularly relating to the control of greenhouse gas emissions, obtaining environmental
permits, state monitoring requirements and other similar matters.

Inkai is required to comply with environmental requirements during all
stages of the project, and must develop an environmental impact assessment for examination by a state environmental expert before making any legal, organizational or economic decisions that could have an effect on the environment and public health.
Plans to double production at blocks 1 and 2 and to develop block 3 are subject to this environmental impact assessment process.

Under the
Ecological Code, Inkai needs an environmental permit to operate. The permit certifies the holders right to discharge emissions into the environment, provided that it introduces the best available technologies and complies
with the technical guidelines in the code. Inkai has a permit for environmental emissions and discharges, valid until December 2013, and an emissions permit for drilling activities, valid until December 2012. It also holds the required permits under
the Water Code.

Government authorities and the courts enforce compliance with these permits, and violations can result in the
imposition of administrative, civil or criminal penalties, the suspension or stopping of operations, orders to pay compensation, orders to remedy the effects of violations and orders to take preventive steps against possible future violations. In
certain situations, the issuing authority may suspend or revoke the permits.

Inkai has environmental insurance, as required by the
Ecological Code and the resource use contract. Inkai also has voluntary civil liability insurance for environment protection.

Nuclear waste management and decommissioning

Once we have permanently stopped mining and processing activities, we are required to decommission the operating sites. This includes reclaiming all waste rock and tailings management facilities and the
other areas of the site affected by our activities to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities.

Estimating decommissioning and
reclamation costs

We develop conceptual decommissioning plans for our operating sites and use them to estimate our decommissioning costs.
We also submit them to the regulator to determine the amount of financial assurance we must provide to secure our decommissioning obligations. Our plans include reclamation techniques that we believe generate reasonable environmental and
radiological performance. Regulators give conceptual approval to a decommissioning plan if they believe the concept is reasonable.

We started conducting reviews of our conceptual decommissioning plans for all Canadian sites in 1996. We typically review them every five years, or when
we amend or renew an operating licence. We review our cost estimates for both accounting purposes and licence applications. For our US sites, they are reviewed annually. A preliminary decommissioning plan has been established for Inkai. The plan is
updated every five years or as significant changes take place, which would affect the decommissioning estimate.

As properties approach or go
into decommissioning, regulators review the detailed decommissioning plans. This can result in additional regulatory process, requirements, costs and financial assurances.

At the end of 2011, our estimate of total decommissioning and reclamation costs was $577 million. This is the undiscounted value of the obligation and is based on our current operations. We had accounting
provisions of $509 million at the end of 2011 (the present value of the $577 million). Since we expect to incur most of these expenditures at the end of the useful lives of the operations they relate to, our expected costs for decommissioning and
reclamation for the next five years are not material.

We provide financial assurances for decommissioning and reclamation as letters of
credit to regulatory authorities, as required. We had a total of $664 million in letters of credit supporting our reclamation liabilities at the end of 2011. Since 2001, all of our North American operations have had letters of credit in place that
provide financial assurance in connection with our preliminary plans for decommissioning for the sites.

Please also see note 19 to the 2011
financial statements for our estimate of decommissioning and reclamation costs and related letters of credit.

These estimates have been reviewed and accepted by the CNSC. We, along with our joint venture partners, have filed with
the Saskatchewan government letters of credit as financial assurance for all four operations to match these estimates.

The reclamation and
remediation activities associated with waste rock and tailings from processing Cigar Lake ore and uranium solution are covered in the plans and cost estimates for the facility that will be processing it.

We are currently in the process of renewing our licences for Port Hope, Blind River and CFM and are awaiting regulatory
approval of our new decommissioning estimates for these sites. Once the new decommissioning estimates are approved, we will increase the letters of credit to be filed with the regulator as financial assurance for them.

Bruce Power

Operating the Bruce Power
nuclear units generates three kinds of radioactive waste:



| |  | used nuclear fuel bundles (high-level radioactive waste)
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  | other material that has come in close contact with the reactors or is reactor equipment such as pressure tubes. This material is less radioactive than
used nuclear fuel bundles (intermediate-level radioactive waste)
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | material used in operating the station (low-level radioactive waste).
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

High-level radioactive waste

Used
nuclear fuel bundles from the Bruce reactors are temporarily stored in water-filled pools (called wet bays) at the Bruce Power nuclear stations for a cooling-off period of at least 10 years so their radioactivity substantially decreases. The
bundles are then transferred to above-ground concrete canisters at a dry storage facility constructed by OPG. The facility is located on the part of the site not leased to BPLP. OPG started transferring the used nuclear bundles to its facility in
2003.

BPLP is responsible for managing any used nuclear fuel bundles stored in the Bruce B wet bays although OPG retains title to all used
nuclear fuel bundles stored in the wet bays before May 11, 2001. OPG also assumes:



| |  | title to any used nuclear fuel bundles that are discharged from the Bruce reactors during the term of the lease
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the cost of, and responsibility for, disposing of these nuclear fuel bundles. It also receives a fee, paid as supplemental rent under the lease, for
this disposal.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intermediate and low-level radioactive waste

OPG has also agreed to take title to, store and dispose of all of BPLPs low and intermediate-level radioactive waste at OPGs radioactive waste management facility at the Bruce site during the
term of the lease. OPG retains title to all low and intermediate-level radioactive waste generated before May 11, 2001.

Decommissioning

Under the lease and as
owner of the Bruce nuclear plants, OPG is responsible for:



| |  | decommissioning the eight units
|- |  | -------------------------------



| |  | funding the decommissioning and meeting any other related requirements imposed by the CNSC
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | managing the radioactive waste associated with decommissioning the Bruce nuclear plants.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Historical waste

When Cameco was
formed, we assumed ownership and primary responsibility for managing the waste already existing at the time of the reorganization. This historical waste was all in Ontario, at the historical facilities, which include the Port Hope Conversion
Facility, Blind River Refinery, Port Granby Waste Management Facility and the Welcome Waste Management Facility in Port Hope.

Our liability
includes:



| |  | the first $2 million of all costs and expenses related to historical waste and the historical facilities, including costs and expenses relating to any
claim arising out of or related to historical waste and decommissioning or reclamation costs and expenses related to historical waste and the historical facilities
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 23/98ths of the next $98 million of these costs.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------

Canada Eldor Inc., the entity established by the federal government to assume the historical liabilities and
obligations of Eldorado Nuclear Limited, retained liability for the balance of these costs up to $100 million, and for all of these costs above $100 million, effectively capping our liability with respect to these costs at $25 million.

Principles of understanding

In October
2000, the government of Canada and certain communities near and including Port Hope announced they had signed a framework for the development of an agreement for the clean-up, storage and long-term management of certain historical waste (the
principles of understanding).

In June 2001, the federal government announced that it had signed an agreement to invest approximately
$260 million over 10 years to carry out the work.

In March 2004, we reached an agreement to transfer two facilities to the government of
Canada: the Port Granby Waste Management Facility and Welcome Waste Management Facility. Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL), which indirectly owned these waste sites before 1988 through its ownership of Eldorado Nuclear Limited, is the licensee.

As part of this transaction, the federal government agreed to accept approximately 150,000 cubic metres of low-level radioactive waste from
us at no charge. It also agreed to assume all liability for the waste at the two sites, as long as we met our obligation to contribute the balance of the $25 million cap respecting costs and expenses related to historical waste and the historical
facilities remaining upon the transfer of the final waste facility. We have already recognized this $25 million liability, but at the end of 2011, only $7.17 million of it had been spent by Cameco.

Port Hope Area Initiative

In July 2002,
the federal government released the scoping document for the environmental assessment of the Port Hope Area Initiative, which described two projects to manage low-level radioactive waste in the Port Hope area for the long term: the Port Granby
project and Port Hope project, which includes historical waste at the Welcome Waste Management Facility. Both projects have completed the environmental assessment process.

In September 2009, after a one-day public hearing, the CNSC announced a decision to issue a Waste Nuclear Substance Licence to AECL for the Welcome Waste Management Facility, valid as of the date of land
transfer. Transfer of this facility to the federal government was completed on March 31, 2010. In November 2011, the CNSC announced the decision to issue a Waste Nuclear Substance Licence to AECL for the Port Granby Waste Management Facility,
valid as of the date of the land transfer, which is anticipated to occur in 2012.

Recycling uranium byproducts

We have an agreement with Denison Mines Corporation to process certain uranium-bearing byproducts from Blind River and Port Hope at the White Mesa mill in
Blanding, Utah. While this arrangement addresses existing inventory and current recycling requirements, we are considering other outlets.

For
example, in 2001, we tested recycling the byproducts at our Key Lake mill, and in 2002 submitted a proposal to federal and provincial regulatory authorities for approval to proceed. We received regulatory approval from the Saskatchewan government in
2003, and were advised by the CNSC in 2011 that this project can proceed.

United States

After mining has been completed, an ISR wellfield has to be restored according to regulatory requirements. This generally involves restoring the
groundwater to its pre-mining state or equivalent class of water standard.

It is difficult for us to estimate final timing for restoring
wellfields due to the uncertainty in timing for receiving regulatory approval.

Crow Butte

Restoration of Crow Butte wellfields is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and the NRC. There are five wellfields being
restored at Crow Butte. The groundwater at mine unit #1 has been restored to pre-mining quality standards, all wells are plugged and the piping removed.

Our estimated cost of decommissioning the property is $35.6 million (US). We have provided the State of
Nebraska with a $35.4 million (US) letter of credit as security for decommissioning the property and are in the process of receiving regulatory approval to increase the letter of credit to $35.6 million (US), in accordance with the State of
Nebraskas requirements.

Smith Ranch-Highland

Restoration of Smith Ranch-Highland wellfields is regulated by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality and NRC. There are five wellfields being restored at Smith Ranch-Highland, and two wellfields
(mine units A and B) that have been fully restored.

The restoration of mine unit B has been approved by the Wyoming Department of
Environmental Quality, and we are waiting for approval from the NRC. We have restored the groundwater at mine unit A to pre-mining quality standards, and continue to monitor the areas environmental performance. We have received regulatory
approval for the restoration at mine unit A.

Our estimated cost of decommissioning the property is $168 million (US). We have provided the
State of Wyoming with $212.7 million (US) in letters of credit as security for decommissioning the property, in accordance with the State of Wyomings requirements.

Kazakhstan

Inkai is subject to decommissioning liabilities, largely defined by the terms
of the resource use contract. Inkai has established a separate bank account and made the required contributions to the account as security for decommissioning. Contributions are set as a percentage of gross revenue and are capped at $500,000 (US).
Inkai has funded the full amount.

Under the resource use contract, Inkai must submit a plan for decommissioning the mining facility to
the government six months before mining activities are complete. Inkai has established a preliminary plan and an estimate of total decommissioning costs of $11 million (US).It updates the plan every five years, or when there is a significant
change at the operation that could affect decommissioning estimates.

Groundwater is not actively restored post-mining in Kazakhstan.
See page 85 for additional details.

The regulatory environment

This section, and the section Complying with environmental regulations starting on page 86, discuss some of the more significant government controls and regulations that have a material effect on
our business. A significant part of our economic value depends on our ability to comply with the extensive and complex laws and regulations that govern our activities. We are not aware of any proposed legislation or changes to existing legislation
that could have a material effect on our business.

International treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is an international treaty that was established in 1970. It has three objectives:



| |  | to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | to foster the peaceful uses of nuclear energy
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  | to further the goal of achieving general and complete disarmament.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

The NPT establishes a safeguards system under the responsibility of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Almost all countries are signatories to the NPT, including Canada, the US, the United Kingdom
and France. We are therefore subject to the NPT and comply with the International Atomic Energy Agencys requirements.

Industry
regulation and permits

Canada

Our Canadian operations have regulatory obligations to both the federal and provincial governments. There are five main regulatory agencies that issue licences and approvals:



| |  | CNSC (federal)
|- |  | --------------



| |  | Fisheries and Oceans Canada (federal)
|- |  | -------------------------------------



| |  | Transport Canada (federal)
|- |  | --------------------------



| |  | Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment
|- |  | ------------------------------------



| |  | Ontario Ministry of Environment.
|- |  | --------------------------------

Environment Canada (federal) is also a main regulatory agency, but does not issue licences and approvals.

Uranium industry regulation

The government of Canada recognizes the special importance of
the uranium industry to Canadas national interest, and regulates the industry through legislation and regulations, and exerts additional control through government policy.

Federal legislation applies to any work or undertaking in Canada for the development, production or use of nuclear energy or for the mining, production, refinement, conversion, enrichment, processing,
reprocessing, possession or use of a nuclear substance. Federal policy requires that any property or plant used for any of these purposes must be legally and beneficially owned by a company incorporated in Canada.

Mine ownership restrictions

The federal
government has instituted a policy that restricts ownership of Canadian uranium mining properties to:



| |  | a minimum of 51% ownership by residents
|- |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  | a basic maximum limit of 49% ownership by non-residents of uranium properties at the first stage of production.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The government may grant exceptions. For example, resident ownership may be less than 51% if the property is Canadian-controlled. Exceptions will only be
granted in cases where it is demonstrated that Canadian partners cannot be found, and it must receive Cabinet approval.

The government issued
a letter to the Canadian uranium industry on December 23, 1987, outlining the details of this

ownership policy. On March 3, 2010, the government announced its intention to liberalize the foreign investment restrictions on Canadas uranium mining sector to ensure that
unnecessary regulation does not inhibit the growth of Canadas uranium mining industry by unduly restricting foreign investment. After striking an expert panel to study the issue and soliciting feedback from various stakeholders, the
federal government has more recently stated in October 2011 that it will not be changing the policy at this time.

Cameco ownership
restriction

We are subject to ownership restrictions under the Eldorado Nuclear Limited Reorganization and Divestiture Act, which
restricts the issue, transfer and ownership, including joint ownership, of Cameco shares to prevent both residents and non-residents of Canada from owning or controlling more than a certain percentage of shares. See pages 122 and 123 for more
information.

Industry governance

The Canadian Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) governs the control of the mining, extraction, use and export of uranium in Canada. It is a federal statute, authorizing the CNSC to make
regulations governing all aspects of the development and application of nuclear energy, including uranium mining, milling, conversion, fabrication and transportation. It grants the CNSC licensing authority for all nuclear activities in Canada. A
person may only possess or dispose of nuclear substances and build, operate and decommission its nuclear facilities according to the terms and conditions of a CNSC licence. Licensees must satisfy specific conditions of the licence in order to
maintain the right to operate their nuclear facilities.

The NSCA emphasizes the importance of environmental as well as health and safety
matters, and requires licence applicants and licensees to have adequate provisions for protection.

Regulations made under the NSCA include
provisions for dealing with the licence requirements of facilities, radiation protection, physical security for all nuclear facilities and the transport of radioactive materials. The CNSC has also issued regulatory information and guidance documents
to assist licensees in complying with regulatory requirements such as decommissioning, emergency planning, and optimizing radiation protection measures.

All of our Canadian operations are governed primarily by licences granted by the CNSC and are subject to all federal statutes and regulations that apply to us, and all the laws that generally apply in the
province where the operation is located, unless there is a conflict with the terms and conditions of the licence or the federal laws that apply to us.

Uranium export

We must secure export licences and export permits from the CNSC and the
Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in order to export our uranium. In some cases, such as with China, we also need government agreements and bilateral arrangements.

Land tenure

Most of our uranium reserves and resources are located in the province of
Saskatchewan:



| |  | a mineral claim from the province gives us the right to explore for minerals (other government approvals are required to carry out surface
exploration)
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | a crown lease with the province gives us the right to mine the minerals on the property
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | a surface lease with the province gives us the right to use the land for surface facilities and mine shafts while mining and reclaiming the
land.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A mineral claim has a term of two years, with the right to renew for successive one-year periods. Generally, the
holder has to spend a certain amount on exploration to keep the mineral claim in good standing. If we spend more than the amount required, the extra amount can be applied to future years.

A holder of a mineral claim in good standing has the right to convert it into a crown lease. A crown lease is for 10 years, with a right to renew for additional 10-year terms. The lessee must spend a
certain amount on work during each year of the crown lease. The lease cannot be terminated unless the lessee defaults on any terms of the lease, or under any provisions of The Crown Minerals Act(Saskatchewan) or regulations under it,
including any prescribed environmental concerns. Crown leases can be amended unilaterally by the lessor by an amendment to The Crown

---

Minerals Act (Saskatchewan) or The Mineral Disposition Regulations, 1986(Saskatchewan).

A surface lease can be for up to 33 years, as necessary for operating the mine and reclaiming the land. The province also uses surface leases
to specify other requirements relating to environmental and radiation protection as well as socioeconomic objectives.

Electricity
regulation

BPLPs operations are heavily regulated. The CNSC regulates the Bruce nuclear generation stations through its powers under
the NSCA (see Uranium industry regulation above). It also monitors the safety performance of the Bruce nuclear generating stations.

Licences issued by the CNSC stipulate that BPLP must report regularly on its operations. BPLP is also regulated by the Nuclear Liability Act(as
discussed below), as well as other general legislation.

Licence renewals

BPLP operates the Bruce B nuclear reactors under a CNSC licence issued to BPLPs general partner, Bruce Power Inc. In 2009, CNSC renewed the Bruce B operating licence for a term through
October 31, 2014. BPLP was not required to provide financial assurances under the Bruce B operating licence because the CNSC determined that the preliminary decommissioning plan and the financial assurances which BPLP provides to OPG under its
lease with OPG are adequate.

We are indemnified by BALP for any calls on the assurances resulting from operation of the Bruce A units.

Liability insurance

The
Nuclear Liability Act requires operators of nuclear generating facilities to purchase specific amounts of nuclear liability insurance from the Nuclear Liability Association of Canada. The Nuclear Liability Act imposes liability and
currently requires the operator of nuclear stations to maintain $75 million of liability insurance for each of its nuclear stations.

The
Nuclear Liability Act has two key parts:



| |  | Under Part I, an operator is strictly liable for any damage to public property or personal injury arising from a nuclear incident (as defined in
the Nuclear Liability Act), other than damage resulting from sabotage or acts of war. If the Governor in Council is of the opinion that an operators liability for a nuclear incident could be higher than $75 million, or it would be in
the public interest to provide special measures for compensation, the Governor in Council may proclaim Part II in effect.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Under Part II, an operator is liable to the government of Canada for amounts up to $75 million. The Governor in Council may authorize the
federal government to pay funds for claims exceeding that amount.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The federal government had previously introduced
legislation in the House of Commons that would significantly change the Nuclear Liability Act. It included, among other things, requirements for the operator to maintain $650 million of liability insurance for each of its nuclear stations.
While not currently before the House of Commons, it is expected that this legislation will be reintroduced. If it becomes law, it will result in a significant increase in the cost and amount of insurance coverage BPLP must obtain.

Ontario

BPLP sells electricity into the
wholesale spot market and contract market.

The Ontario regulatory framework has an impact on BPLPs marketing of electricity,
particularly the wholesale market where BPLP sells most of its production. The Ontario government took steps in April 2005 to mitigate the impact of higher electricity prices on the provinces large industrial and commercial customers by
regulating the price of electricity produced by OPGs base load nuclear and hydro assets. This affected approximately 55,000 large industrial and commercial customers who consume more than 250,000 kilowatt hours per year. In December 2004, OPA
was established to ensure reliability of supply in the province. Since 2005, OPA has procured more than 20,000 MW of electricity supply capacity and more than half of the capacity is subject to fixed-rate contract prices.

BPLP expects these actions to depress the wholesale contract market, which is unregulated.

United States

Uranium industry regulation

In the US, uranium recovery is regulated primarily by the NRC
according to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Its primary function is to:



| |  | ensure employees, the public and the environment are protected from radioactive materials
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | regulate most aspects of the uranium recovery process.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------

The NRCs regulations for uranium recovery facilities are codified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations(10 CFR). It issues Domestic Source Material Licences under 10 CFR, Part 40.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) governs the review of licence applications, which is implemented through 10 CFR, Part 51.

Wyoming

The uranium recovery industry
is also regulated by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, the Land Quality Division according to the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act (WEQA) and the Land Quality Division Non-Coal Rules and Regulations under the WEQA.
According to the state act, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality issues a permit to mine. The Land Quality Division administers the permit.

The state also administers a number of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs under theClean Air Actand the Clean Water Act.Some of the programs, like the Underground Injection
Control Regulations, are incorporated in the Land Quality Division Non-Coal Rules and Regulations. Wyoming currently requires wellfield decommissioning to the standard of pre-mining use.

Nebraska

The uranium recovery industry
is regulated by the NRC, and the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality according to the Nebraska Environmental Protection Act. The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality issues a permit to mine. The state requires wellfield
groundwater be restored to the class of use water standard.

At Smith Ranch-Highland and Crow Butte, safety is regulated by the federal
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Other governmental agencies are also involved in the regulation of the uranium recovery
industry.

The NRC also regulates the export of uranium from the US and the transport of nuclear materials within the US. It does not review
or approve specific sales contracts. It also grants export licences to ship uranium outside the US.

Land tenure

Our uranium reserves and resources in the US are held by subsidiaries that are located in Wyoming and Nebraska. The right to mine or develop minerals is
acquired either by leases from the owners (private parties or the state) or mining claims located on property owned by the US federal government. Our subsidiaries acquire surface leases that allow them to install wellfields and conduct ISR mining.

Kazakhstan

See
Kazakhstan government and legislation on page 41.

Royalties and taxes

Canadian royalties

We pay royalties to the province of Saskatchewan under the terms of
Part III of the Crown Mineral Royalty Schedule, 1986 (Saskatchewan), as amended. The royalty applies to the sale of all uranium extracted from orebodies in the province.

The schedule includes two kinds of royalties:



| |  | basic royalty: 5% of gross sales of uranium, less the Saskatchewan resource credit (1% of the gross sales of uranium)
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 96 | 



---

| |  | tiered royalty: an additional percentage of gross sales of uranium, when the realized sales price of uranium (after deducting capital
allowances) is higher than the sales prices listed in the schedule.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We claimed all of our capital allowances in 2007 and
started to pay tiered royalties that year. We will be eligible for additional capital allowances once Cigar Lake begins production, resulting in significantly reduced tiered royalties that fiscal year and the year following at which time the
allowances are expected to be fully exhausted.

As a resource corporation in Saskatchewan, we pay a corporate resource surcharge of 3.0% of
the value of resource sales.

Canadian income taxes

We are subject to federal income tax and provincial taxes in Saskatchewan and Ontario. Current income tax recovery for 2011 was $7.9 million.

Royalties are fully deductible for income tax purposes. For Ontario tax purposes, we are charged an additional tax (at normal Ontario corporate tax rates) if the royalty deduction exceeds a notional
Ontario resource allowance. Our Ontario fuel services operations and BPLP are eligible for a manufacturing and processing tax credit.

Since
2008, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed the transfer pricing methodology we used for certain uranium sale and purchase agreements and issued notices of reassessment for our 2003 through 2006 tax returns. We believe it is likely that CRA will
reassess our tax returns for 2007 through 2011 on a similar basis. Our view is that CRA is incorrect, and we are contesting its position. As a result, we are pursuing our appeal rights under the Income Tax Act. However, to reflect the
uncertainties of CRAs appeals process and litigation we have provided $54 million for uncertain tax positions for 2003 through 2011. We believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not be material to our financial position,
results of operations or liquidity over the period. However, an unfavourable outcome for the years 2003 to 2011 could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the year(s) of resolution. See note 24 to the
financial statements.

US taxes

Our subsidiaries in Wyoming and Nebraska pay severance taxes, property taxes and Ad Valorem taxes in those states. They paid $5.6 million (US) in taxes in 2011.

Our US subsidiaries are subject to US federal and state income tax. They may also be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) at a rate of 20%. We
can carry forward AMT paid in prior years indefinitely, and apply it as credit against future regular income taxes. Current income tax expense for 2011 was $0.1 million (US).

Kazakhstan taxes

The resource use contract lists the taxes, duties, fees, royalties and
other governmental charges Inkai has to pay.

On January 1, 2009, a new tax code of the Republic of Kazakhstan went into effect that
includes a number of changes to the taxation regime of subsoil users. The most significant changes involve eliminating the stable tax regime, imposing a mineral extraction tax and changing the payment rate for commercial discovery.

Tax stabilization eliminated

In October
2009, at the request of the Kazakhstan Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Inkai signed an amendment to the resource use contract to adopt the new tax code, eliminating the tax stabilization provision. We do not expect the new tax code to have
a material impact on Inkai at this time, but eliminating the tax stabilization provision could be material in the future. See pages 40 and 41 for more information about the resource use contract.

Corporate income tax rate

Under the new
tax code, Inkai is subject to corporate income tax at a rate of 20%.

Mineral extraction tax

The tax code includes a Tax on Production of Useful Minerals, a new mineral extraction tax replacing the previous royalty. The mineral extraction
tax must be paid on each type of mineral and certain other substances that are extracted. Starting from January 1, 2011,the rate used to calculate the mineral extraction tax on uranium is 22%.



|                             |  |  |         | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 97 | 



---

Previously, Inkai would pay royalties that were calculated on a graduated scale, based on the sales price of production each year.

Payment for commercial discovery

Under the resource use contract, a one-time commercial
discovery bonus of 0.05% of the value of Kazakh-defined recoverable reserves is paid when there is confirmation that Kazakh-defined recoverable reserves are located in a particular licence area. Under the tax code, that rate increases to 0.1%.

Excess profits tax

The tax
code has changed the calculation of excess profits tax. Inkai believes it will not have to pay this tax for the foreseeable future.

Risks that can affect our business

There are risks in every business.

The nature of our business means we face many kinds of
risks and hazards  some that relate to the nuclear energy industry in general, and others that apply to specific properties, operations or planned operations. These risks could have a significant impact on our business, earnings, cash flows,
financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The following section describes the risks that are most material to our business.
This is not, however, a complete list of the potential risks we face  there may be others we are not aware of, or risks we feel are not material today that could become material in the future. We have comprehensive systems and procedures
in place to manage these risks, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in preventing the harm that any of these risks could cause.

Please also see the risk discussion in our 2011 MD&A.

1  Operational risks

General operating risks and hazards

We are subject to a number of operational risks and
hazards, many of which are beyond our control.

These risks and hazards include:





environmental damage (including hazardous emissions from our refinery and conversion facilities, like a release of UF6or a leak of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride used in the UF6conversion process)  

industrial and transportation accidents, which may involve radioactive or other hazardous materials  

labour shortages, disputes or strikes  

cost increases for contracted or purchased materials, supplies and services  

shortages of required equipment, materials and supplies (including the availability of acid for Inkais operations in Kazakhstan and anhydrous
hydrofluoric acid at our conversion facilities)  

transportation disruptions  

electrical power interruptions




equipment failures  

catastrophic accident  

fires  

blockades or other acts of social or political activism  

regulatory constraints ad non-compliance with laws and licences  

natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes  

unusual or unexpected geological or hydrological conditions  

underground floods  

ground movement or cave ins  

tailings pipeline or dam failures  

adverse mining conditions  

technological failure of mining methods.

|---------------------------- |  |  | ------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 99 | 



---

There is no assurance that any of the above risks will not result in:





damage to or destruction of our properties and facilities located on these properties  

personal injury or death  

environmental damage  

delays in, interruptions of, or decrease in production at our mines, our mills, our refining, conversion or fuel manufacturing facilities, our
exploration or development activities or transportation of our products




interruptions or decreases in electricity generation from BPLP  

costs, expenses or monetary losses  

legal liability  

adverse government action.




Any of these events could result in one or more of our operations becoming unprofitable, cause us not to
receive an adequate return on invested capital, or have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Insurance coverage

We buy insurance to cover losses or liabilities arising from some of
the operating risks and hazards listed above. We believe we have a reasonable amount of coverage for the risks we choose to insure against. There is no assurance, however, that this coverage will be adequate in all circumstances, that it will
continue to be available, that premiums will be economically feasible, or that we will maintain this coverage. Like other nuclear energy and mining companies, we do not have insurance coverage for certain environmental losses or liabilities and
other risks, either because it is not available, or because it cannot be purchased at a reasonable cost.

Not having the right insurance
coverage or the right amount of coverage, or choosing not to insure against certain risks, could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Flooding at our Saskatchewan mines

All
of our operating mines in Saskatchewan have had water inflows, and our Cigar Lake development project in Saskatchewan has flooded in the past.

McArthur River

The sandstone that overlays the basement rocks of the
McArthur River deposit contains large volumes of water at significant pressure. Ground freezing at McArthur River generally prevents water from flowing into the area being mined, but there are technical challenges with the groundwater and rock
properties.

We temporarily suspended production at our McArthur River mine in April 2003 because increased water inflow from
an area of collapsed rock in a new development area began to flood portions of the mine. This caused a major setback in the development of new mining zones.

Cigar Lake

The Cigar Lake deposit has hydro-geological characteristics and
technical challenges that are similar to those at McArthur River. We have had three water inflows at Cigar Lake since 2006 (please see page 56 for details).

These water inflows have caused:



| |  |  | a significant delay in development and production at the property
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a significant increase in capital costs
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to notify many of our customers of the interruption in planned uranium supply.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rabbit Lake

We temporarily reduced our underground activities at Rabbit Lake in November 2007, because there was an increase in water flow from a mining area while an equipment upgrade was limiting surface
water-handling system



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 100 | 



---

capacity. Rabbit Lake resumed normal mining operations in late December 2007, after the source of the water inflow was plugged.

There is no guarantee that there will not be water inflows at McArthur River, Cigar Lake or Rabbit Lake in the future. A water inflow could have a material and adverse effect on us, including:



| |  | significant delays or interruptions in production or lower production
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | significant delays or interruptions in mine development or remediation activities
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | loss of mineral reserves
|- |  | ------------------------



| |  | a material increase in capital or operating costs.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------

It could also have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. The degree of impact depends on the magnitude, location and timing of
the flood or water inflow. Floods and water inflows are generally not insurable.

Technical challenges at Cigar Lake and McArthur River

The unique nature of the deposits at McArthur River and Cigar Lake pose many technical challenges, including groundwater management,
unstable rock properties, radiation protection, mining method uncertainty, ore-handling and transport and other mining-related challenges.

The jet boring mining method is new to the uranium mining industry and was developed and adapted specifically for the Cigar Lake deposit. Although we
have successfully demonstrated the jet boring mining method in trials, this method has not been proven at full production. Test mining trials have been completed on a limited number of cavities that may not be representative of the deposit as a
whole. As we ramp up production, there may be some technical challenges, which could affect our production plans, including, but not limited to variable or unanticipated ground conditions, ground movement and cave ins, water inflows and variable
dilution, recovery values and mining productivity. Even though enhancements have been made to the design of the jet boring system units, there is a risk that the rampup to the full production rate at Cigar Lake may not be achieved on a sustained and
consistent basis.

If we are unable to resolve any of these technical challenges, it could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings,
cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Tailings management

Our Key Lake and Rabbit Lake mills produce tailings. Managing these tailings is integral to uranium production.

Key Lake

The Key Lake mill deposits tailings from processing McArthur
River ore into the Deilmann TMF. In February 2009, we received regulatory approval to deposit the tailings at a higher elevation at that facility. This gives us about six years of licensed capacity at current production rates, assuming we experience
only minor losses in storage capacity because of sloughing from the pit walls. We also completed prefeasibility work in 2009, to assess our options for additional long-term tailings storage. Work is well underway on the environmental assessment for
the Key Lake extension project to support our application for regulatory approval to deposit tailings at a significantly higher elevation in the Deilmann TMF.Once we receive approval, this would provide us with enough tailings capacity to
potentially mill a volume equal to all the known mineral reserves and resources from the McArthur River operation and additional capacity to toll mill ore from other regional deposits.

Rabbit Lake

The Rabbit Lake in-pit tailings management facility has the capacity to store tailings from milling ore from Rabbit Lake until approximately 2016. We are planning for an expansion of the tailings
management facility to be ready by mid-2016. This will support the extension of Rabbit Lakes mine life and provide additional tailings capacity to process ore from other potential sources. We formally started the environmental assessment
process in 2011 to receive regulatory approval for the expansion in tailings capacity.

If sloughing or other issues prevent us from
maintaining the existing tailings management capacity at the Deilmann



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 101 | 



---

TMF and Rabbit Lake pit, or if we are delayed or do not receive regulatory approval for new or expanded tailings facilities, uranium production could be constrained and this could have a material
and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Aging facilities

Our Key Lake and Rabbit Lake mills are old and being refurbished. Our Port Hope fuel services facilities are also aging. This exposes us to a number of
risks, including the potential for higher maintenance and operating costs, the need for significant capital expenditures to upgrade and refurbish these facilities, the potential for decreases or delays in, or interruption of, uranium and fuel
services production, and the potential for environmental damage.

BPLPs nuclear generating stations are also aging. Testing and
inspection programs have identified issues relating to the equipment life cycle, including corrosion of the steam generator tube, thinning of the feeder pipe wall and contact between the pressure tube and calandria tube. While we understand these
conditions are a function of design, the equipment has degraded more quickly than anticipated.

No nuclear generating station using Candu
technology has completed a full life cycle yet, so it is possible that BPLP may have to invest a significant amount of capital in repairing or replacing this and other equipment. BPLP may need to increase its preventive maintenance programs and
allow more outage time (a period when a nuclear reactor is not operating) than currently planned.

These risks could have a material and
adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations or on BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Reliance on development and expansion projects to fuel growth

Our ability to increase our uranium production depends in part on successfully developing new mines and/or expanding existing operations. Cigar Lake is our major development project and we have several
other projects under evaluation: expansion of production from Inkai blocks 1 and 2 and development of Inkai block 3 in Kazakhstan, McArthur River extension, expansion of production from our US ISR operations, development of Millennium in
Saskatchewan, and development of Kintyre in Australia.

Several factors affect the economics and success of development projects:





capital and operating costs  

metallurgical recoveries  

the accuracy of reserve estimates  

government regulations  

availability of appropriate infrastructure, particularly power and water




future uranium prices  

the accuracy of feasibility studies  

acquiring surface or other land rights  

receiving necessary government permits.




Development projects have no operating history that can be used to estimate future cash flows. We have to
invest a substantial amount of capital and time to develop a project and achieve commercial production. A change in costs or construction schedule can affect the economics of a project. Actual costs could increase significantly and economic returns
could be materially different from our estimates. We could fail to obtain the necessary governmental approvals for construction or operation. In any of these situations, a development project might not proceed according to its original timing, or at
all.

It is not unusual in the nuclear energy or mining industries for new operations to experience unexpected problems during start-up,
resulting in delays, higher capital expenditures than anticipated and reductions in planned production. Delays, additional costs or reduced production could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results
of operations or prospects.

There is no assurance we will be able to complete the development of new mines, or expand existing operations,
economically or on a timely basis.

Developing additional reserves to sustain operations

The McArthur River, Rabbit Lake and Inkai mines are currently our main sources of mined uranium concentrates. We expect the reserves at our Rabbit Lake
mine to be depleted in 2017.

As the reserves at these mines are depleted, our mineral reserves will decrease. We may not be able to sustain
production if:



| |  | the Cigar Lake deposit is not successfully developed and does not achieve its planned level of production
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the Inkai block 3, Millennium and Kintyre deposits are not successfully developed
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | production from our US ISR sites is not increased
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  | we do not identify, discover or acquire other deposits
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  | we do not find extensions to existing orebodies, or
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  | we do not convert resources to reserves at our mines and development projects.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Although we have successfully replenished reserves in the past through ongoing exploration, development and acquisition programs, there is no assurance
that we will be successful in our current or future exploration, development or acquisition efforts. We believe that Cigar Lake will achieve its planned levels of production, but there is no assurance it will.

Nuclear operations risks

Major
nuclear incident risk

Although the safety record of nuclear reactors has generally been very good, there have been accidents and other
unforeseen problems in the former USSR, the United States, Japan and in other countries. The consequences of a major incident can be severe and include loss of life, property damage and environmental damage. Any resulting liability from a major
nuclear incident could exceed BPLPs resources, and its insurance coverage. In addition, an accident or other significant event at a nuclear plant  operated by BPLP or others  could result in increased regulation, less public
support for nuclear fueled energy, lower demand for uranium and lower uranium prices. This could have a material and adverse effect on our own earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. If the event occurs at a
plant operated by BPLP, this could significantly affect BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Public acceptance of nuclear energy is uncertain

Maintaining the demand for uranium at
current levels and achieving any growth in demand in the future will depend on societys acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity.

On March 11, 2011, a significant earthquake struck the northeast coast of Japan, producing a tsunami and causing massive damage and destruction along the Pacific coastline of Japan. This included
damage to the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant, located in the town of Okuma, about 210 kilometres north of Tokyo. The plant suffered a series of power and equipment failures affecting the cooling water systems and released radioactive material
into the environment. The incident at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant has called into question public confidence in nuclear energy in Japan and elsewhere around the world. This had an immediate negative impact on uranium prices and the
share price of companies involved in uranium exploration and development.

Japan has 54 nuclear reactors. As of February 8, 2012, Japan
had three reactors operating. These three reactors are scheduled to enter regular maintenance shutdowns between late February and the end of April, at which time we expect all of Japans nuclear reactors will be offline. Many are unaffected by
the events in March 2011 but are offline for both planned and unplanned maintenance outages, and diminished public support has prevented utilities from gaining the regulatory and political approvals necessary to restart them. The Japanese government
has ordered stress tests to be conducted on all reactors before allowing them to restart, and is implementing reforms to its existing nuclear regulatory framework and energy policy. Stress tests are progressing, but the government has not made any

|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 103 | 



---

final decisions about restarting the reactors. Local governement approval will also likely be required to allow reactors to restart. Japans 54 reactors represent 12% of global nuclear
generating capacity.

Germany, which represents 5% of world nuclear generating capacity, decided to revert to its previous phase-out policy,
shutting down eight of its reactors, and plans to shut down the remaining nine reactors by 2022.

Lack of public acceptance of nuclear
technology would have an adverse effect on the demand for nuclear power and potentially increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry. We may be impacted by changes in regulation and public perception of the safety of nuclear power plants,
which could adversely affect the construction of new plants, the re-licensing of existing plants, the demand for uranium and the future prospects for nuclear generation. These events could have a material adverse effect on our own earnings, cash
flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Risks, hazards and potential legal liability with nuclear power

Operating nuclear generating stations has inherent risks, including a substantial risk of liability and the potential for operating costs
to rise significantly.

Risks and hazards can result from structural problems, technological problems, nuclear fuel supply, equipment
failures, maintenance requirements, regulatory and environmental constraints, security requirements and the storage, handling and disposal of radioactive materials, among other things.

BPLPs risk management strategies include the safety systems that are a part of Candu technology, but there is no assurance that risk can be minimized or eliminated. An accident at a nuclear
installation anywhere in the world, or other issues, could prompt the CNSC to limit the electrical output or the operation of the Bruce nuclear generation stations, or impose significant conditions on its licence. Any type of accident could also
have an impact on the future prospects for nuclear generation.

There is no assurance that these risks and hazards will not result in:





damage to or destruction of BPLPs nuclear facilities  

personal injury or death  

environmental damage  

delays in, interruption or decrease of electrical generation or halting of electrical generation from BPLPs facilities




costs, expenses or monetary losses  

legal liability  

adverse government action.




Any of these things could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial
condition or results of operations.

Impact of unplanned or extended outages on electrical production

We can be affected by planned outages that are significantly longer than scheduled, and unplanned outages that extend over a period of time. Either of
these situations could result in less electricity generated than expected, which could significantly affect BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Dependence on reliable transmission systems

BPLPs ability to sell electricity depends on the capacity, reliability and regulation of the Ontario electricity transmission system and other North American electricity transmission systems that
are connected to the Ontario grid. Inadequate or unreliable electricity transmission capacity or disruptions in electricity transmission systems could have a material and adverse effect on BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows,
financial condition or results of operations.

Impact of weather and economic conditions on electrical production

BPLPs earnings are sensitive to variations in the weather. Variations in winter weather affect the demand for



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 104 | 



---

electrical heating, while variations in summer weather affect the demand for electrical cooling.

Industrial and wholesale demand for electricity in Ontario has decreased because of weak economic conditions in the province and some parts of North America. Wholesale demand has declined significantly
since 2004. Ontario demand in 2011 was down by 0.5% or 0.7 TWh compared to 2010. While this decrease signals continued inertia in the economy, we believe it will take some time for demand to return to prior levels.

Dependence on a single contractor

BPLP
depends on OPG and AECL as single source contractors for certain nuclear support services.

Relying on a single contractor creates a security
supply risk for BPLP. If either of these suppliers does not provide quality service or timely service, it could have a material and adverse effect on BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Labour and employment

People are core to our business. We compete with other nuclear energy and mining companies for talented, quality people, and we may not always be able to
fill positions on a timely basis. There is a limited pool of skilled people and competition is intense. We will need additional financial, administrative, technical and operations staff to fill key positions as our business activity grows and we
experience employee turnover because of an aging workforce.

If we cannot attract and train qualified successors for our senior and operating
positions, it could reduce the efficiency of our operations and have an adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

We have unionized employees and face the risk of strikes. At December 31, 2011, we had 3,470 employees (including employees of our subsidiaries, but not including Inkai or BPLP). This includes 910
unionized employees at McArthur River, Key Lake, Port Hope and at CFMs facilities, who are members of four different locals of the United Steelworkers trade union. BPLP has 4,000 employees, and most of them are unionized.

Collective agreements



| |  | The collective agreement with the bargaining unit employees at CFM expires on June 1, 2012. This agreement was signed following a three-month
strike in 2009.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The collective agreement with the bargaining unit employees at the McArthur River and Key Lake operations expires on December 31, 2013.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The collective agreement with the bargaining unit employees at the Port Hope conversion facility expires on June 30, 2013.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | BPLPs collective agreement with the Power Workers Union expires on December 31, 2013 and BPLPs collective agreement with The
Society of Energy Professionals expires on December 31, 2014.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot predict whether we or BPLP will reach new
collective agreements with these and other employees without a work stoppage or work interruptions while negotiations are underway.

From time
to time, the mining or nuclear energy industry experiences a shortage of tradespeople and other skilled or experienced personnel globally, regionally or locally. We have a comprehensive strategy to attract and retain high calibre people, but there
is no assurance this strategy will protect us from the effects of a labour shortage.

A lengthy work interruption or labour shortage could
have an adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Joint ventures

We participate in McArthur River, Key Lake, Cigar Lake, Inkai, Millennium, Kintyre, BPLP and GLE through joint ventures with third parties. Some of these
joint ventures are unincorporated, some are incorporated (like Inkai and GLE) and some are partnerships or limited partnerships (like BPLP). We have other joint ventures and may enter into more in the future.



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 105 | 



---

There are risks associated with joint ventures, including:



| |  | disagreement with a joint venture partner about how to develop, operate or finance a project
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | a joint venture partner not complying with a joint venture agreement
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | possible litigation between joint venture partners about joint venture matters
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the inability to exert control over decisions related to a joint venture we do not have a controlling interest in.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our joint venture partner in Kazakhstan is a state entity, so its actions and priorities could be dictated by government policies instead of commercial
considerations.

These risks could result in legal liability, affect our ability to develop or operate a project under a joint venture, or
have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Supplies and contractors

Supplies

We buy reagents
and other production inputs and supplies from suppliers around the world. If there is a shortage of any of these supplies, including parts and equipment, or their costs rise significantly, it could limit or interrupt production or increase
production costs. It could also have an adverse effect on our ability to carry out operations or have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations. We are examining our entire supply chain
to identify areas to diversify or add inventory where we may be vulnerable, but there is no assurance that we will be able to mitigate the risk.

Contractors

In some cases we rely on a single contractor to provide us with reagents or
other production inputs and supplies. Relying on a single contractor is a security supply risk because we may not receive quality service, timely service, or service that otherwise meets our needs. These risks could have a material and adverse
effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Uranium exploration is highly speculative

Uranium exploration is highly speculative and involves many risks, and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into
producing mines.

Even if mineralization is discovered, it can take several years in the initial phases of drilling until a production
decision is possible, and the economic feasibility of developing an exploration property may change over time. We are required to make a substantial investment to establish proven and probable mineral reserves, to determine the optimal metallurgical
process to extract minerals from the ore, to construct mining and processing facilities (in the case of new properties) and to extract and process the ore. We might abandon an exploration project because of poor results or because we feel that we
cannot economically mine the mineralization.

Given these uncertainties, there is no assurance that our exploration activities will be
successful and result in new reserves to expand or replace our current mineral reserves.

Infrastructure

Mining, processing, development and exploration can only be successful with adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water
supply are important factors that affect capital and operating costs and the ability to deliver products on a timely basis.

Our activities
could be negatively affected if unusual weather, interference from communities, government or others, aging, sabotage or other causes affect the quality or reliability of the infrastructure.

A lack of adequate infrastructure could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

2  Political risks

Foreign investments and operations

We do business in countries and jurisdictions outside
of Canada and the United States, including the developing world, and invest in companies that also carry out these activities in these countries. Doing business in these countries poses risks because they have different economic, cultural,
regulatory and political environments. Future economic and political conditions could also cause the governments of these countries to change their policies on foreign investments, development and ownership of mineral resources, or impose other
restrictions, limitations or requirements that we may not foresee today.

Risks related to doing business in a foreign country can include:





uncertain legal, political and economic environments  

strong governmental control and regulation  

lack of an independent judiciary  

war, terrorism and civil disturbances  

crime, corruption, making improper payments or providing benefits that may violate Canadian or United States law or laws relating to foreign corrupt
practices  

unexpected changes in governments and regulatory officials  

uncertainty or disputes as to the authority of regulatory officials  

changes in a countrys laws or policies, including those related to mineral tenure, mining, imports, exports, tax, duties and currency  

cancellation or renegotiation of permits or contracts




royalty and tax increases or other claims by government entities, including retroactive claims  

expropriation and nationalization  

delays in obtaining the necessary permits or the inability to obtain or maintain them  

currency fluctuations  

high inflation  

joint venture partners falling out of political favour  

restrictions on local operating companies selling their production offshore, and holding US dollars or other foreign currencies in offshore bank
accounts  

import and export regulations, including restrictions on the export of uranium  

limitations on the repatriation of earnings  

increased financing costs.




If one or more of these risks occur, it could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash
flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

We also risk being at a competitive disadvantage to companies from countries
that are not subject to Canadian or United States law or laws relating to foreign corrupt practices.

We enter into joint venture arrangements
with local partners from time to time to mitigate political risk. There is no assurance that these joint ventures will mitigate our political risk in a foreign jurisdiction.

We assess the political risk associated with each of our foreign investments and have political risk insurance to mitigate part of the losses that can arise from some of these risks. From time to time, we
assess the costs and benefits of maintaining this insurance and may decide not to buy this coverage in the future. There is no assurance that the insurance will be adequate to cover every loss related to our foreign investments, that coverage will
continue to be available or that premiums will be economically feasible. These losses could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations if they are not adequately covered by insurance.

Kazakhstan

Inkai has a
contract with the Kazakhstan government and was granted licences to conduct mining and exploration activities there. Its ability to conduct these activities, however, depends on licences being renewed and other government approvals being granted.

To maintain and increase production at Inkai, we need ongoing support, agreement and co-operation from our partner, Kazatomprom, and from the
government. Kazakh foreign investment, environmental and mining laws and regulations are complex and still developing, so it can be difficult to predict how they will be applied. Inkais best



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 107 | 



---

efforts may therefore not always reflect full compliance with the law, and non-compliance can lead to an outcome that is disproportionate to the nature of the breach.

Subsoil law

Amendments to the subsoil
law in 2007 allow the government to reopen resource use contracts in certain circumstances, and in 2009, the Kazakhstan government passed a resolution that classified 231 blocks, including all three Inkai blocks, as strategic deposits. These actions
may increase the governments ability to expropriate Inkais properties in certain situations. In 2009, at the request of the Kazakhstan government, Inkai amended the resource use contract to adopt a new tax code, even though the
government had agreed to tax stabilization provisions in the original contract.

A new subsoil use law went into effect in 2010 that weakens
the stabilization guarantee of the prior law. This development reflects increased political risk in Kazakhstan.

Nationalization

Industries like mineral production are regarded as nationally or strategically important, but there is no assurance they will not be
expropriated or nationalized. Government policy can change to discourage foreign investment and renationalize mineral production, or the government can implement new limitations, restrictions or requirements.

There is no assurance that our assets in Kazakhstan and other countries will not be nationalized, taken over or confiscated by any authority or body,
whether the action is legitimate or not. While there are provisions for compensation and reimbursement of losses to investors under these circumstances, there is no assurance that these provisions would restore the value of our original investment
or fully compensate us for the investment loss. This could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Government regulations

Our operations in Kazakhstan may be affected in varying degrees by
government regulations restricting production, price controls, export controls, currency controls, taxes and royalties, expropriation of property, environmental, mining and safety legislation, and annual fees to maintain mineral properties in good
standing. There is no assurance that the laws in Kazakhstan protecting foreign investments will not be amended or abolished, or that these existing laws will be enforced or interpreted to provide adequate protection against any or all of the risks
described above. There is also no assurance that the resource use contract can be enforced or will provide adequate protection against any or all of the risks described above.

Civil unrest

There has been recent civil unrest in the oil producing region of West
Kazakhstan. The government has taken action to resolve the underlying concerns and restore stability. Inkai, which is in South Kazakhstan, has not been impacted by the civil unrest. We are monitoring the situation. There is no assurance that
Inkais operations will not be impacted by civil unrest in the future.

See page 41 for a more detailed discussion of the regulatory and
political environment in Kazakhstan.

Australia

State governments in Australia have prohibited uranium mining or uranium exploration from time to time, and from 2002 to 2008, uranium mining was banned in Western Australia, where our Kintyre development
project is located. A prohibition or restriction on uranium exploration or mining in the future that interferes with the development of Kintyre could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects.

3  Regulatory risks

Government laws and regulation

Our operations and exploration activities are subject to
extensive and complex laws and regulations.

There are laws and regulations for uranium exploration, development, mining, milling, refining,
conversion, fuel manufacturing, transport, exports, imports, taxes and royalties, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, decommissioning and reclamation, safety, hazardous substances,
emergency response, land use, water use and other matters.

Significant financial and management resources are required to comply with these
laws and regulations, and this will likely continue as laws and government regulations become more and more strict. We are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance or its effect on our operations because legal requirements change
frequently, are subject to interpretation and may be enforced to varying degrees.

Some of our operations are regulated by government agencies
that exercise discretionary powers conferred by statute. If these agencies do not apply their discretionary authority consistently, then we may not be able to predict the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements or their effect on
operations.

Existing, new or changing laws, regulations and standards of regulatory enforcement could increase costs, lower, delay or
interrupt production or affect decisions about whether to continue with existing operations or development projects. This could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

If we do not comply with the laws and regulations that apply to our business, then regulatory or judicial authorities could take any number
of enforcement actions, including:



| |  | corrective measures that require us to increase capital or operating expenditures or install additional equipment
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | remedial actions that result in temporary or permanent shut-down or reduction of our operations
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | requirements that we compensate communities that suffer loss or damage because of our activities
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | civil or criminal fines or penalties.
|- |  | -------------------------------------

Legal and political circumstances are different outside North America, which can change the nature of regulatory risks in foreign jurisdictions when compared with regulatory risks associated with
operations in North America.

Permitting and licensing

All uranium mining projects and processing facilities around the world require government approvals, licences or permits, and our operations and development projects in Canada, the US, Kazakhstan and
Australia are no exception. Depending on the location of the project, this can be a complex and time consuming process involving multiple government agencies.

We have to obtain and maintain many approvals, licences and permits from the appropriate regulatory authorities, but there is no assurance that they will grant or renew them, approve any additional
licences or permits for potential changes to our operations in the future or in response to new legislation, or that they will process any of the applications on a timely basis. Stakeholders, like environmental groups, non-government organizations
(NGOs) and aboriginal groups claiming rights to traditional lands, can raise legal challenges. A significant delay in obtaining or renewing the necessary approvals, licences or permits, or failure to receive the necessary approvals, licences or
permits, could interrupt or prevent the development or operation of our mining and processing facilities, which could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Nuclear plant regulation

BPLPs nuclear electricity business is subject to extensive government regulations covering nuclear operations, nuclear waste management and
decommissioning and environmental matters, and the Bruce B operating licence for



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 109 | 



---

its nuclear generation facilities can be revoked if BPLP does not comply. The government also can impose additional conditions on the licences, or impose fines or other penalties. Regulations are
promulgated under federal and provincial law.

Because studies revealed that emergency shutdown systems might not have sufficient safety
margins for low probability events, the CSNC limited the four Bruce B units to 90% of operating power. The CNSC later approved the uprating of the units to 93% of operating power, but there is no assurance that the CNSC will not significantly derate
them in the future.

Compliance with these regulations, the imposition of additional conditions, fines or penalties or a derating of the Bruce
B units could have a material adverse effect on BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Regulation of the Ontario electricity market

The government of Ontario regulates
Ontarios electricity industry, which opened to competition on May 1, 2002 in both the wholesale and retail markets. The government has since announced regulatory changes, and could make additional or fundamental changes to the structure
of the electricity market or new market rules based on the experience of the regulatory authorities and market participants.

Any of these
factors could have a material and adverse effect on BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial conditions or results of operations.

4  Financial risks

Volatility and sensitivity to prices

Since a significant portion of our revenues come from the sale of uranium and conversion services, our earnings and cash flow are
closely related to, and sensitive to, fluctuations in the long and short-term market prices of U3O8and uranium
conversion services.

Many factors beyond our control affect these prices, including the following, among others:



| |  | demand for nuclear power
|- |  | ------------------------



| |  | forward contracts of
U3O8supplies by nuclear power plants
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  | political and economic conditions in countries producing and buying uranium
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | reprocessing of used reactor fuel and the re-enrichment of depleted uranium tails
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | sales of excess civilian and military inventories of uranium by governments and industry participants (including uranium from dismantling nuclear
weapons)
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | levels of uranium production and production costs
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  | significant interruptions in production or delays in expansion plans or new mines going into production
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | investment and hedge fund activity in the uranium market.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

We cannot predict the effect that any one or all of these factors will have on the price of U3O8and uranium conversion services. Prices have fluctuated widely in the last several years, and there have been significant
declines since 2007.

The table below shows the range in spot prices over the last five years.

Notes

Spot and term uranium prices are the average of prices published monthly by Ux Consulting and from The Nuexco Exchange Value, published by TradeTech.

Spot and term UF6conversion values are the average of prices published monthly by Ux Consulting and from The Nuexco Conversion Value,
published by TradeTech.

If prices for U3O8or uranium conversion services fall below our own production costs for a sustained period, continued production or conversion at our sites may cease to be profitable. This would have a
material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Declines in U3O8prices could also delay or deter a decision to build or begin commercial production at one or more of our development projects, or adversely affect our ability to finance these
development projects. Either of these could have an adverse effect on our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

A sustained decline in U3O8prices may
require us to write down our mineral reserves and mineral resources, and any significant write downs may lead to material write downs of our investment in the mining properties affected, and an increase in charges for amortization, reclamation and
closures.

We use a uranium contracting strategy as a way to reduce volatility in our future earnings and cash flow from
exposure to fluctuations in uranium prices. It involves building a portfolio that consists of fixed-price contracts and market-related contracts with terms of 10 years or more. This strategy can create opportunity losses because we may not benefit
fully if there is a significant increase in U3O8prices. This strategy also creates currency risk since we receive
payment under the majority of our sales contracts in US$. There is no assurance that our contracting strategy will be successful.

We
participate in the uranium spot market from time to time, making purchases so we can put material into higher priced contracts. There are, however, risks associated with spot market purchases, including the risk of losses, which could have an
adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Spot market electricity prices

Electricity prices can be volatile. BPLPs risk management activities include trading electricity and related contracts to mitigate these risks.
There is no assurance, however, that the activities will be successful.

Reserve, resource, production and capital cost estimates

Reserve and resource estimates are not precise

Our mineral reserves and resources are the foundation of our uranium mining operations. They dictate how much



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 111 | 



---

uranium concentrate we can produce, and for how many years.

The uranium mineral
reserves and resources reported in this AIF are estimates, and are therefore subjective. There is no assurance that the indicated tonnages or grades of uranium will be mined or milled or that we will receive the uranium price we used in estimating
these reserves.

While we believe that the mineral reserve and resource estimates included in this AIF are well established and reflect
managements best estimates, reserve and resource estimates, by their nature, are imprecise, do not reflect exact quantities and depend to a certain extent on statistical inferences that may ultimately prove unreliable. The volume and grade of
reserves we actually recover, and rates of production from our current mineral reserves, may be less than the estimate of the reserves. Fluctuations in the market price of uranium, changing exchange rates and operating and capital costs can make
reserves uneconomic to mine in the future and ultimately cause us to reduce our reserves.

Short-term operating factors relating to mineral
reserves, like the need for orderly development of orebodies or the processing of different ore grades, can also prompt us to modify reserve estimates or make reserves uneconomic to mine in the future, and can ultimately cause us to reduce our
reserves. Reserves also may have to be re-estimated based on actual production experience.

Mineral resources may ultimately be reclassified
as proven or probable mineral reserves if they demonstrate profitable recovery. Estimating reserves or resources is always affected by economic and technological factors, which can change over time, and experience in using a particular mining
method. There is no assurance that any resource estimate will ultimately be reclassified as proven or probable reserves. If we do not obtain or maintain the necessary permits or government approvals, or there are changes to applicable legislation,
it could cause us to reduce our reserves.

Mineral resource and reserve estimates can be uncertain because they are based on data from limited
sampling and drilling and not from the entire orebody. As we gain more knowledge and understanding of an orebody, the resource and reserve estimate may change significantly, either positively or negatively.

If our mineral reserve or resource estimates for our uranium properties are inaccurate or are reduced in the future, it could:



| |  | require us to write down the value of an operating property or development project
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | result in lower uranium concentrate production than previously estimated
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | require us to incur increased capital or operating costs, or
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | require us to operate mines or facilities unprofitably.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------

This could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations or prospects.

Production and capital cost estimates may be inaccurate

We prepare estimates of future
production and capital costs for particular operations, but there is no assurance we will achieve these estimates. Estimates of expected future production and capital costs are inherently uncertain, particularly beyond one year, and could change
materially over time.

Production and capital cost estimates for:



| |  | McArthur River also assume the successful transition to new mining areas
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Cigar Lake assume that development activities are completed successfully
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Inkai assume it receives regulatory approval, approval from our partner and is able to ramp up production to the design capacity rate of
5.2 million pounds.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Production estimates for uranium refining, conversion and fuel manufacturing assume there is no
disruption or reduction in supply from us or third party sources, and that estimated rates and costs of processing are accurate, among other things.



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 112 | 



---

Our actual production and capital costs may vary from estimates for a variety of reasons, including, among
others:





actual ore mined varying from estimated grade, tonnage, dilution, metallurgical and other characteristics  

mining and milling losses greater than planned  

short-term operating factors relating to the ore, such as the need for sequential development of orebodies and the processing of new or different ore
grades  

risk and hazards associated with mining, milling, uranium refining, conversion and fuel manufacturing  

failure of mining methods and plans  

failure to obtain and maintain the necessary regulatory and partner approvals  

lack of tailings capacity  

natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions or floods




labour shortages or strikes  

delay or lack of success in mining new areas at McArthur River or completing construction activities  

development, mining or production plans for Cigar Lake are delayed or do not succeed for any reason, including technical difficulties with the jet
boring mining method or our inability to solve technical challenges as they arise or acquire any of the required jet boring equipment  

delays, interruption or reduction in production or construction activities due to fires, failure or unavailability of critical equipment, shortage of
supplies, underground floods, earthquakes, tailings dam failures, lack of tailings capacity, ground movements and cave ins, or other difficulties.




Failure to achieve production or capital cost estimates could have a material and adverse effect on our
earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Currency fluctuations

Our earnings and cash flow may also be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollar. Our sales of uranium and
conversion services are mostly denominated in US dollars, while the production costs of both are denominated primarily in Canadian dollars. Our consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars.

Any fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US dollar and Canadian dollar can result in favourable and unfavourable foreign currency exposure,
which can have a material effect on our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations, as has been the case in the past. While we use a hedging program to limit any adverse effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates, there is no assurance that these hedges will eliminate the potential material negative impact of fluctuating rates.

Customers

Our main business relates to the production and sale of uranium concentrates and providing uranium conversion services. We rely heavily on
a small number of customers to purchase a significant portion of our uranium concentrates and conversion services.

From 2012 through 2014, we
expect:



| |  | our five largest customers to account for 38% of our contracted supply of U3O8
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | our five largest
UF6conversion customers to account for 44% of our contracted
supply of UF6conversion services.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are currently the only commercial supplier of UO2used by Canadian Candu heavy water reactors. Our sales to our largest
customer accounted for 43% of our UO2sales in 2011.

In addition, revenues in 2011 from one customer of our uranium and conversion segments represented $134.7 million (7%) of our total
revenues from those businesses. Sales for the Bruce A and B reactors represent a substantial portion of our fuel manufacturing business.

If
we lose any of our largest customers or if any of them curtails their purchases, it could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.



|                             |  |  |          |

Counterparty and credit risk

Our business operations expose us to the risk of counterparties not meeting their contractual obligations, including:



| |  | customers
|- |  | ---------



| |  | suppliers
|- |  | ---------



| |  | financial institutions and other counterparties to our derivative financial instruments and hedging arrangements relating to foreign currency exchange
rates and interest rates
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | financial institutions which hold our cash on deposit
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  | insurance providers.
|- |  | --------------------

Credit risk is the risk that counterparties will not be able to pay for services provided under the terms of the contract. If a counterparty to any of
our significant contracts defaults on a payment or other obligation or becomes insolvent, it could have a material and adverse effect on our cash flows, earnings, financial condition or results of operations.

Uranium products, conversion and fuel services

We manage the credit risk of our customers for uranium products, conversion and fuel services by:



| |  | monitoring their creditworthiness
|- |  | ---------------------------------



| |  | asking for pre-payment or another form of security if they pose an unacceptable level of credit risk.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of December 31, 2011, 95% of our forecast revenue under contract for the period 2012 to 2014 is with customers whose creditworthiness meets our
standards for unsecured payment terms.

Electricity

Excluding revenue support payments from the Ontario government, BPLPs revenues come from two main sources:



| |  | electricity sales through the spot market administered by government regulators
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | electricity sales under short-term, medium-term and long-term power purchase and electricity price hedging agreements.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spot market participants must meet standards for creditworthiness that are mandated by regulators, so we believe BPLPs credit risk for sales to
these customers is effectively managed. If these purchasers do not provide adequate credit support to the regulators, all market participants, including BPLP, could be responsible for any shortfall, in proportion to their market activity.

BPLP requires purchasers under these agreements to meet certain standards for creditworthiness to manage credit risk. In some cases, they
must provide financial assurances as security for non-performance.

Other

We manage the credit risk on our derivative and hedging arrangements, cash deposits and insurance policies by dealing with financial institutions and insurers that meet our credit rating standards and by
limiting our exposure to individual counterparties.

We diversify or increase inventory in our supply chain to limit our reliance on a single
contractor, or limited number of contractors. We also monitor the creditworthiness of our suppliers to manage the risk of suppliers defaulting on delivery commitments.

There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our efforts to manage the risk of default or credit risk.

Liquidity and financing

Nuclear energy and mining are extremely capital intensive
businesses, and companies need significant ongoing capital to maintain and improve existing operations, invest in large scale capital projects with long lead times, and manage uncertain development and permitting timelines and the volatility
associated with fluctuating uranium and input prices.

We believe our current financial resources are sufficient to support the exploration
and development projects we have



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 114 | 



---

planned. If we expand these projects or our programs overall, we may need to raise additional financing through joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing or other means.

There is no assurance that we will obtain the financing we need, when we need it. Volatile uranium markets, a claim against us, a significant event
disrupting our business or operations, or other factors may make it difficult or impossible for us to obtain debt or equity financing on favourable terms, or at all.

Operating and capital plans

We establish our operating and capital plans based on the
information we have at the time, including expert opinions. There is no assurance, however, that these plans will not change as new information becomes available or there is a change in expert opinion.

Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies contain capital and operating costs, estimated production and economic returns and other estimates that may be
significantly different than actual results, and there is no assurance that they will not be different than anticipated or than what was disclosed in the studies. Our estimates may also be different from those of other companies, so they should not
be used to project operating profit.

Internal controls

We use internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that we authorize transactions, safeguard assets against improper or unauthorized use, and record and report transactions
properly. This gives us reasonable assurance that our financial reporting is reliable, and prepared in accordance with IFRS.

It is impossible
for any system to provide absolute assurance or guarantee reliability, regardless of how well it is designed or operated. We continue to evaluate our internal controls to identify areas for improvement and provide as much assurance as reasonably
possible. We conduct an annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and produce an attestation report of their effectiveness by our independent auditors to meet the requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002.

If we do not satisfy the requirements for internal controls on an ongoing, timely basis, it could negatively affect investor confidence
in our financial reporting, which could have an impact on our business and the trading price of our common shares. If a deficiency is identified and we do not introduce new or better controls, or have difficulty implementing them, it could harm our
financial results or our ability to meet reporting obligations.

Carrying values of assets

We evaluate the carrying value of our assets to decide whether current events and circumstances indicate whether or not we can recover the carrying
amount. This involves comparing the estimated fair value of our reporting units to their carrying values.

We base our fair value estimates on
various assumptions, however, the actual fair values can be significantly different than the estimates. If we do not have any mitigating valuation factors or experience a decline in the fair value of our reporting units, it could ultimately result
in an impairment charge.

5  Environmental risks

Complex legislation and environmental, health and safety risk

Our activities have an
impact on the environment, so our operations are subject to extensive and complex laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, employee health and safety and waste management. We also face risks that are unique to uranium
mining, processing and fuel manufacturing. Laws to protect the environment as well as employee health and safety are becoming more stringent for members of the nuclear energy industry.



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 115 | 



---

Our facilities operate under various operating and environmental approvals, licences and permits that have
conditions that we must meet as part of our regular business activities. In a number of instances, our right to continue operating these facilities depends on our compliance with these conditions.

Our ability to obtain approvals, licences and permits, maintain them, and successfully develop and operate our facilities may be adversely affected by
the real or perceived impact of our activities on the environment and human health and safety at our development projects and operations and in the surrounding communities. The real or perceived impact of activities of other nuclear energy or mining
companies can also have an adverse effect on our ability to secure and maintain approvals, licences and permits.

Our compliance with laws and
regulations relating to the protection of the environment, employee health and safety, and waste management requires significant expenditures and can cause delays in production or project development. This has been the case in the past and may be so
in future. Failing to comply can lead to fines and penalties, temporary or permanent suspension of development and operational activities, clean-up costs, damages and the loss of key approvals, permits and licences. We are exposed to these potential
liabilities for our current development projects and operations as well as operations that have been closed. There is no assurance that we have been or will be in full compliance with all of these laws and regulations, or with all the necessary
approvals, permits and licences.

Laws and regulations on the environment, employee health and safety, and waste management continue to evolve
and this can create significant uncertainty around the environmental, employee health and safety, and waste management costs we incur. If new legislation and regulations are introduced in the future, they could lead to additional capital and
operating costs, restrictions and delays at existing operations or development projects, and the extent of any of these possible changes cannot be predicted in a meaningful way.

Environmental and regulatory review is a long and complex process that can delay the opening, modification or expansion of a mine, conversion facility or refining facility, or extend decommissioning
activities at a closed mine or other facility.

Our ability to foster and maintain the support of local communities and governments for our
development projects and operations is critical to the conduct and growth of our business, and we do this by engaging in dialogue and consulting with them about our activities and the social and economic benefits they will generate. There is no
assurance, however, that this support can be fostered or maintained. There is an increasing level of public concern relating to the perceived effect that nuclear energy and mining activities have on the environment and communities affected by the
activities. Some NGOs are vocal critics of the nuclear energy and mining industries, and oppose globalization, nuclear energy and resource development. Adverse publicity generated by these NGOs or others, related to the nuclear energy industry or
the extractive industry in general, or our operations in particular, could have an adverse effect on our reputation or financial condition and may affect our relationship with the communities we operate in. While we are committed to operating in a
socially responsible way, there is no guarantee that our efforts will mitigate this potential risk.

These risks could delay or interrupt our
operations or project development activities, delay, interrupt or lower our production and have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Decommissioning and reclamation obligations

Environmental regulators are demanding more and more financial assurances so that the parties involved, and not the government, bear the cost of decommissioning and reclaiming sites.

We have filed decommissioning plans for some of our properties with the regulators. We review these plans every five years, or at the time of an
amendment or renewal of an operating licence. Plans for our US sites are reviewed every year. Regulators may conduct a further review of the detailed decommissioning plans, and this can lead to additional requirements, costs and financial
assurances. It is not possible to predict what level of decommissioning and reclamation and financial assurances regulators may require in the future.



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 116 | 



---

If we must comply with additional regulations, or the actual cost of decommissioning and reclamation in the
future is significantly higher than our current estimates, this could have a material and adverse effect on our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, if a previously unrecognized reclamation liability becomes known or a previously estimated decommissioning or reclamation cost is increased, the amount of that liability or additional cost is
expensed, and this can have a material negative effect on our net income for the period.

Nuclear waste management and decommissioning
(Bruce Power)

BPLP is subject to extensive federal regulation related to nuclear waste management. Not complying with the regulations
could lead to:



| |  | prosecution, and possibly cause the operating licences for its nuclear generation facilities to be revoked
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | additional conditions imposed under the licences
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  | fines and other penalties.
|- |  | --------------------------

If BPLP releases radioactive material at higher than the prescribed limits, it could lead to a government ordered investigation, control and/or
remediation of the release and claims from third parties for harm caused by the release. BPLP already incurs substantial costs for nuclear waste management and changes in federal regulation could result in additional costs that could have a material
and adverse effect on BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

The wet bays at
Bruce B have limited capacity to store used nuclear fuel. Under its contract with BPLP, OPG has started collecting used nuclear fuel bundles, stored in the wet bays, for transport and storage at the OPG dry storage facility at the Bruce site. OPG
has title to all used nuclear fuel bundles in the wet bays. If OPG fails to continue providing adequate service to collect the used fuel bundles, does not do it on a timely basis, or experiences problems associated with the station modifications in
the wet bays to support the loading of bundles into dry storage containers, this could have a material and adverse effect on BPLPs contribution to our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

6  Legal and other risks

Litigation

We and BPLP are currently
subject to litigation or threats of litigation, and may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future that result in litigation.

We cannot accurately predict the outcome of any litigation. If a dispute cannot be resolved favourably, it may delay or interrupt our operations or
project development activities and have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations. See Legal proceedings on page 120 for more information.

Legal rights

If a dispute arises at our
foreign operations, it may be under the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts, or we may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada. We could also be hindered or prevented from enforcing our rights
relating to a government entity or instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

The dispute resolution provision of the
resource use contract for Inkai and Russian HEU commercial agreement stipulate that any dispute between the parties is to be submitted to international arbitration. There is no assurance, however, that a particular government entity or
instrumentality will either comply with the provisions of these or any other agreements, or voluntarily submit a dispute to arbitration. If we are unable to enforce our rights under these agreements, this could have a material and adverse effect on
our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 117 | 



---

Defects in title

We have investigated our rights to explore and exploit all of our material properties, and those rights are in good standing to the best of our knowledge. There is no assurance, however, that these rights
will not be revoked or significantly altered to our detriment, or that our rights will not be challenged by third parties, including local governments and by indigenous groups, such as First Nations and Métis in Canada.

Indigenous rights, title claims and consultation

Managing indigenous rights, title claims and consultation is an integral part of our exploration, development and mining activities, and we are committed to managing them effectively. There is no
assurance, however, that we will not face material adverse consequences because of the legal and factual uncertainties with these issues.

Saskatchewan

Exploration, development,
mining, milling and decommissioning activities at our various properties in Saskatchewan may be affected by claims by the First Nations and Métis, and related consultation issues.

We also face similar issues with our exploration activities in other provinces and countries. We have received formal demands from the English First River Nation and the Métis Nation of
Saskatchewan to consult with and accommodate them when we operate or develop on traditional lands. All aboriginal groups in northern Saskatchewan expect this of us.

It is generally acknowledged that under historical treaties, First Nation bands in northern Saskatchewan ceded title to most traditional lands in the region in exchange for treaty benefits and reserve
lands. First Nations in Saskatchewan, however, generally continue to assert that their treaties are not an accurate record of their agreement with the Canadian government and that they did not cede title to the minerals when they ceded title to
their traditional lands. First Nations have launched a lawsuit in Alberta making a similar claim that they did not cede title to the oil and natural gas rights when they ceded title to their traditional lands. There is a risk that the First Nations
in Saskatchewan may launch a similar lawsuit.

The English First River Nation selected lands for designation as Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE)
that cover the mineral claims for the Millennium uranium deposit. The Saskatchewan government rejected this selection in December 2008, but the English First River Nation has challenged that rejection in the courts. The TLE process does not affect
the rights of our mining joint ventures. It may, however, affect the surface rights and benefits ultimately negotiated as part of the development of Millennium, and we are monitoring developments on the litigation.

Kintyre

To proceed with development of
Kintyre in Australia, we must reach an agreement with the Martu, the native land title holders for this property. In 2011, we signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the Martu that acknowledges their support in principle for
development of the project and outlines a target schedule for finalizing the terms of a comprehensive agreement. Negotiations are ongoing, but we are uncertain whether we will able to ultimately reach an agreement.

Fuel fabrication defects and product liability

We fabricate nuclear fuel bundles, other reactor components and monitoring equipment. These products are complex and may have defects that can be detected at any point in their product life cycle. Flaws
in the products could materially and adversely affect our reputation, which could result in a significant cost to us and have a negative effect on our ability to sell our products in the future. We could also incur substantial costs to correct any
product errors, which could have an adverse effect on our operating margins. While we introduced a new rigorous process for review and control in 2007, there is no guarantee that we will detect all defects or errors in our products.

It is possible that some customers may demand compensation if we deliver defective products. If there are a significant number of product defects, it
could have a significant impact on our operating results.



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 118 | 



---

Agreements with some customers may include specific terms limiting liability to customers. Even if there are
limited liability provisions in place, existing or future laws, or unfavourable judicial decisions may make them ineffective. We have not experienced any material product liability claims to date, however, they could occur in the future because of
the nature of nuclear fuel products. A successful product liability claim could result in significant monetary liability and could seriously disrupt our fuel manufacturing business and the company overall.

7  Industry risks

Alternate
sources of energy

Nuclear energy competes with other sources of energy like oil, natural gas, coal and hydro-electricity. These sources
are somewhat interchangeable with nuclear energy, particularly over the longer term.

If lower prices of oil, natural gas, coal and
hydro-electricity are sustained over time, it may result in lower demand for uranium concentrates and uranium conversion services, which could lead to lower uranium prices. Growth of the uranium and nuclear power industry will depend on continuing
and growing acceptance of nuclear technology to generate electricity. Unique political, technological and environmental factors affect the nuclear industry, exposing it to the risk of public opinion, which could have a negative effect on the demand
for nuclear power and increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry. An accident at a nuclear reactor anywhere in the world could affect the acceptance of nuclear energy and the future prospects for nuclear generation, which could have a
material and adverse effect on our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Industry
competition and international trade restrictions

The international uranium industry, which includes supplying uranium concentrates and
providing uranium conversion services, is highly competitive. We market uranium to utilities, and directly compete with a relatively small number of uranium mining and enrichment companies in the world. Their supply may come from mining uranium,
excess inventories, including inventories made available from decommissioning of nuclear weapons, reprocessed uranium and plutonium derived from used reactor fuel, and from using excess enrichment capacity to re-enrich depleted uranium tails.

The supply of uranium is affected by a number of international trade agreements and policies. These and any similar future agreements,
governmental policies or trade restrictions are beyond our control and may affect the supply of uranium available in the US, Europe and Asia, the worlds largest markets for uranium. If we cannot supply uranium to these important markets, it
could have a material and adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

For conversion services,
we compete with three other primary commercial suppliers. In addition, we compete with the availability of additional supplies from excess inventories, including those from decommissioning nuclear weapons and using excess enrichment capacity to
re-enrich depleted uranium tails.

Any political decisions about the uranium market can affect our future prospects. There is no assurance
that the US or other governments will not enact legislation or take other actions that restricts who can buy or supply uranium, or facilitates a new supply of uranium.

Competition for sources of uranium

There is growing competition for mineral acquisition
opportunities throughout the world, so we may not be able to acquire rights to explore additional attractive uranium mining properties on terms that we consider acceptable.

There is no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional uranium properties, or buy additional uranium concentrates from the decommissioning of nuclear weapons or the release of excess
government inventory, that will result in additional uranium concentrates we can sell. If we are not able to acquire these interests or rights, it could have a material and adverse effect on our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition or
results of operations.

---

Even if we do acquire these interests or rights, the resulting business arrangements may ultimately prove not to be beneficial.

Deregulation of the electrical utility industry

A significant part of our future prospects
is directly linked to developments in the global electrical utility industry.

Deregulation of the utility industry, especially in the US and
Europe, is expected to affect the market for nuclear and other fuels and could lead to the premature shutdown of some nuclear reactors.

Deregulation has resulted in utilities improving the performance of their reactors to record capacity, but there is no assurance this trend will
continue.

Deregulation can have a material and adverse effect on our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition or results of
operations.

Legal proceedings

We discuss any legal proceedings that we or our subsidiaries are a party to in notes 24 and 31 to the 2011 financial statements.

Investor information

Share capital

Our authorized share capital consists of:



| |  | first preferred shares
|- |  | ----------------------



| |  | second preferred shares
|- |  | -----------------------



| |  | common shares
|- |  | -------------



| |  | one class B share.
|- |  | ------------------

Preferred shares

We do not currently
have any preferred shares outstanding, but we can issue an unlimited number of first preferred or second preferred shares with no nominal or par value, in one or more series. The board must approve the number of shares, and the designation, rights,
privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to each series of first or second preferred shares.

Preferred shares can carry voting
rights, and they rank ahead of common shares and the class B share for receiving dividends and distributing assets if the company is liquidated, dissolved or wound up.

First preferred shares

Each series of first preferred shares ranks equally with the shares
of other series of first preferred shares. First preferred shares rank ahead of second preferred shares, common shares and the class B share.

Second preferred shares

Each series of
second preferred shares ranks equally with the shares of other series of second preferred shares. Second preferred shares rank after first preferred shares and ahead of common shares and the class B share.

Common shares

We can issue an unlimited
number of common shares with no nominal or par value. Only holders of common shares have full voting rights in Cameco.

If you hold our common
shares, you are entitled to vote on all matters that are to be voted on at any shareholder meeting, other than meetings that are only for holders of another class or series of shares. Each Cameco share you own represents one vote, except where noted
below. As a holder of common shares, you are also entitled to receive any dividends that are declared by our board of directors.

Common
shares rank after preferred shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets if the company is liquidated, dissolved or wound up, or any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders if we were to wind
up our affairs.

Holders of our common shares have no pre-emptive, redemption, purchase or conversion rights for these shares. Except as
described under Ownership and voting restrictions, non-residents of Canada who hold common shares have the same rights as shareholders who are residents of Canada.

As at February 9, 2012, we had 394,767,078 common shares outstanding. These were fully paid and non-assessable.

As of February 9, 2012, there were 8,442,385 stock options outstanding to acquire common shares of Cameco under the companys stock option plan.

In 2011, we granted the following stock options:



| |  | March 1, 2011 - 1,580,069 stock options to acquire common shares of Cameco at an exercise price of $39.53
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 121 | 



---

| |  | July 1, 2011 - 50,000 stock options to acquire common shares of Cameco at an exercise price of $25.44
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our articles of incorporation have provisions that restrict the issue, transfer and ownership of voting securities of Cameco (see Ownership and voting
restrictionsbelow).

Class B shares

The province of Saskatchewan holds our one class B share outstanding. It is fully paid and non-assessable.

The one class B share entitles the province to receive notices of and attend all meetings of shareholders, for any class or series.

The class B shareholder can only vote at a meeting of class B shareholders, and only as a class if there is a proposal to:



| |  | amend Part 1 of Schedule B of the articles, which states that:
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Camecos registered office and head office operations must be in Saskatchewan
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the vice-chairman of the board, chief executive officer (CEO), president, chief financial officer (CFO) and generally all of the senior officers
(vice-presidents and above) must live in Saskatchewan
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | all annual meetings of shareholders must be held in Saskatchewan
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | amalgamate, if it would require an amendment to Part 1 of Schedule B of the articles, or
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | amend the articles in a way that would change the rights of class B shareholders.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The class B shareholder can request and receive information from us to determine whether or not we are complying with Part 1 of Schedule B of the
articles.

The class B shareholder does not have the right to receive any dividends declared by Cameco. The class B share ranks after first
and second preferred shares, but equally with common shareholders, with respect to the distribution of assets if the company is liquidated, dissolved or wound up. The class B shareholder has no pre-emptive, redemption, purchase or conversion rights
with its class B share, and the share cannot be transferred.

Ownership and voting restrictions

The federal government established ownership restrictions when Cameco was formed so we would remain Canadian controlled. There are restrictions on
issuing, transferring and owning Cameco common shares whether you own the shares as a registered shareholder, hold them beneficially or control your investment interest in Cameco directly or indirectly. These are described in the Eldorado Nuclear
Limited Reorganization and Divestiture Act(Canada) (ENL Reorganization Act) and our company articles.

The following is a summary of the
restrictions listed in our company articles.

Residents

A Canadian resident, either individually or together with associates, cannot hold, beneficially own or control shares or other Cameco securities, directly or indirectly, representing more than 25% of the
votes that can be cast to elect directors.

Non-residents

A non-resident of Canada, either individually or together with associates, cannot hold, beneficially own or control shares or other Cameco securities, directly or indirectly, representing more than 15% of
the total votes that can be cast to elect directors.

Voting restrictions

All votes cast at the meeting by non-residents, either beneficially or controlled directly or indirectly, will be counted and pro-rated collectively to limit the proportion of votes cast by non-residents
to no more than 25% of the total shareholder votes cast at the meeting.



|                             |  |  |          | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 122 | 



---

There have been instances in prior years, including 2011, when we have limited the counting of votes by
non-residents of Canada at our annual meeting of shareholders to abide by this restriction. This has resulted in non-residents receiving less than one vote per share.

Enforcement

The company articles allow us to enforce the ownership and voting restrictions
by:



| |  | suspending voting rights
|- |  | ------------------------



| |  | forfeiting dividends and other distributions
|- |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  | prohibiting the issue and transfer of Cameco shares
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  | requiring the sale or disposition of Cameco shares
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  | suspending all other shareholder rights.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------

To verify compliance with restrictions on ownership and voting of Cameco shares, we require existing shareholders, proposed transferees or other subscribers for voting shares to declare their residency,
ownership of Cameco shares and other things relating to the restrictions. Nominees such as banks, trust companies, securities brokers or other financial institutions who hold the shares on behalf of beneficial shareholders need to make the
declaration on their behalf.

We cannot issue or register a transfer of any voting shares if it would result in a contravention of the
resident or non-resident ownership restrictions.

If we believe there is a contravention of our ownership restrictions based on any
shareholder declarations filed with us, or our books and records or those of our registrar and transfer agent or otherwise, we can suspend all shareholder rights for the securities they hold, other than the right to transfer them. We can only do
this after giving the shareholder 30 days notice, unless he or she has disposed of the holdings and we have been advised of this.

Understanding the terms

Please see our
articles for the exact definitions of associate, resident, non-resident, control, and beneficial ownership which are used for the restrictions described above.

Other restrictions

The ENL
Reorganization Act imposes some additional restrictions on Cameco. We must maintain our registered office and our head office operations in Saskatchewan. We are also prohibited from:



| |  | creating restricted shares (these are generally defined as a participating share with restrictive voting rights)
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | applying for continuance in another jurisdiction
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  | enacting articles of incorporation or bylaws that have provisions that are inconsistent with the ENL Reorganization Act.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We must maintain our registered office and head office operations in Saskatchewan under the Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation Reorganization
Act. This generally includes all executive, corporate planning, senior management, administrative and general management functions.

Credit ratings

Credit ratings provide
an independent, professional assessment of a corporations credit risk. They are not a comment on the market price of a security or suitability for an individual investor and are, therefore, not recommendations to buy, hold or sell our
securities.

We provide rating agencies DBRS Limited (DBRS) and Standard & Poors (S&P) with confidential, in-depth
information to support the credit rating process.

The credit ratings assigned to our securities by external ratings agencies are important to
our ability to raise capital at competitive pricing to support our business operations. Our investment grade credit ratings reflect the current financial strength of our company.

|---------------------------- |  |  | -------- | 
|2011 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM |  |  | Page 123 | 



---

The rating agencies may revise or withdraw these ratings if they believe circumstances warrant. A change in
our credit ratings could affect our cost of funding and our access to capital through the capital markets.

We have two series of senior
unsecured debentures outstanding:



| |  | $300 million of debentures issued on September 16, 2005 that have an interest rate of 4.7% per year and mature September 16, 2015
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | $500 million of debentures issued on September 2, 2009 that have an interest rate of 5.67% per year and mature September 2, 2019.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dividend policy

The board established a policy of paying quarterly dividends when we launched our initial public offering in 1991. It reviews the dividend policy from time to time in light of our financial position and
other factors they consider relevant.

The table below shows the dividends per common share for the last three fiscal years. The board
approved an increase in the annual dividend in December 2010 (starting in 2011) and in December 2009 (starting in 2010). Under the policy, in December 2011, the board approved an annual dividend of $0.40 per share (starting in 2012).

Approving services

The audit committee must pre-approve all services the external auditors will provide to make sure they remain independent. This is according to our audit committee charter and consistent with our
corporate governance

practices. The audit committee pre-approves services up to a specific limit. If we expect the fees to exceed the limit, or the external auditors to provide new audit or non-audit services that
have not been pre-approved in the past, then this must be pre-approved separately.

Any service that is not generally pre-approved must be
approved by the audit committee before the work is carried out, or by the committee chair, or board chair in his or her absence, as long as the proposed service is presented to the full audit committee at its next meeting.

The committee has adopted a written policy that describes the procedures for implementing these principles.

Interest of experts

Our auditor is KPMG
LLP, independent chartered accountants, who have audited our 2011 financial statements.

KPMG LLP is independent within the meaning of the
Rules of Professional Conduct of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Saskatchewan.

The individuals who are qualified persons for the
purposes of NI 43-101 are listed under Mineral reserves and resourcesstarting on page 73. As a group, they beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of any class of the outstanding securities of Cameco and our associates and
affiliates.

Appendix A

Audit committee of the board of directors

Mandate

Purpose

The primary purpose of the audit
committee (committee) is to assist the board of directors (board) in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for (a) the accounting and financial reporting processes, (b) the internal controls, (c) the external auditors, including
performance, qualifications, independence, and their audit of the corporations financial statements, (d) the performance of the corporations internal audit function, (e) risk management of financial risks as delegated by the
board, (f) the corporations process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations (other than environmental and safety laws) and its code of conduct and ethics, and (g) prevention and detection of fraudulent activities. The
committee shall also prepare such reports as required to be prepared by it by applicable securities laws.

In addition, the committee provides
an avenue for communication between each of the internal auditor, the external auditors, management, and the board. The committee shall have a clear understanding with the external auditors that they must maintain an open and transparent
relationship with the committee and that the ultimate accountability of the external auditors is to the board and the committee, as representatives of the shareholders. The committee, in its capacity as a committee of the board, subject to the
requirements of applicable law, is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the external auditors.

The committee has the authority to communicate directly with the external auditors and internal auditor.

The committee shall make regular reports to the board concerning its activities and in particular shall review with the board any issues that arise with
respect to the quality or integrity of the corporations financial statements, the performance and independence of the external auditors, the performance of the corporations internal audit function, or the corporations process for
monitoring compliance with laws and regulations other than environmental and safety laws.

Composition

The board shall appoint annually, from among its members, a committee and its chair. The committee shall consist of at least three members and shall not
include any director employed by the corporation.

Each committee member will be independent pursuant to the standards for independence
adopted by the board.

Each committee member shall be financially literate with at least one member having accounting or related financial
expertise, using the terms defined as follows:

Financially literate means the ability to read and understand a set of
financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the corporations financial
statements; and

Accounting or related financial expertise means the ability to analyse and interpret a full set of
financial statements, including the notes attached thereto, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

In
addition, where possible, at least one member of the committee shall qualify as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of applicable securities law.

Members of the committee may not serve on the audit committees of more than three public companies (including Camecos) without the approval of the board.

Meetings

The committee will meet at least four times annually and as many additional times as the committee deems necessary to carry out its duties effectively. The committee will meet separately in private with
the external auditors, the internal auditor and management at each regularly scheduled meeting.

A majority of the members of the committee
shall constitute a quorum. No business may be transacted by the committee except at a meeting of its members at which a quorum of the committee is present.

The committee may invite such officers, directors and employees of the corporation as it may see fit from time to time to attend at meetings of the committee and assist thereat in the discussion and
consideration of any matter.

A meeting of the committee may be convened by the chair of the committee, a member of the committee, the
external auditors, the internal auditor, the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer. The secretary, who shall be appointed by the committee, shall, upon direction of any of the foregoing, arrange a meeting of the committee. The
committee shall report to the board in a timely manner with respect to each of its meetings.

Duties and responsibilities

To carry out its oversight responsibilities, the committee shall:
