As required by Canada’s Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (ESTMA), Cameco has reported to the Canadian government payments made to
governments in Canada, the United States, and Australia. These payments include royalties, taxes and fees paid during a year by Cameco and its subsidiaries to
various levels of government related to commercial development. Under ESTMA commercial development captures the exploration and extraction of minerals
and does not include post-extraction activities, such as refining, processing, marketing, distribution, transportation or export. With the exception of payments
made to Indigenous Payees, the amounts reported are on a 100% basis with no adjustment to reflect the minority ownership interest of other entities in the
commercial development of minerals undertaken by Cameco and its subsidiaries. Payments made to Indigenous Payees in Canada are reported at Cameco’s
share.
