Cameco says there are no wildfires in the vicinity of the company’s operations at Cigar Lake, Key Lake, McArthur River and Rabbit Lake.
In a news release issued Wednesday the uranium giant, headquartered in Saskatoon, also indicated that Orano’s McClean Lake mill remains operational.
Their sites are experiencing temporary disruptions due to wildfires impacting power and communication services while road closures have also impeded some deliveries to sites.
Cameco says many of their employees are from northern communities threatened by wildfires or under evacuation orders, so the company says it is accommodating their requests to leave site to tend to family and provide aid to their home communities.
Cameco says at this time, its annual production target remains unchanged.
