JSC National Atomic Company 'Kazatomprom' ('Kazatomprom' or 'the Company') informs that Mazhit Sharipov, Kazatomprom's Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Management Board held a meeting in Nur-Sultan with Tim Gitzel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cameco Corporation, a Canadian-based mining company.

The meeting focused on Cameco and Kazatomprom's partnership in the nuclear industry, with the leaders of the two companies discussing the key issue of transporting natural uranium from JV Inkai to western markets using Kazatomprom's Caspian Sea transportation route. In addition, they discussed the achievements of their shared asset, JV Inkai, which mines uranium in the Turkestan region of Kazakhstan, and its future development.

Other issues were also discussed during the meeting, in particular the progress of Kazatomprom's ongoing evaluation of a potential future investment to introduce new uranium refining technology at the Ulba Metallurgical Plant (UMP JSC) in East Kazakhstan. If the project proceeds, it would involve Cameco's technology which was licensed to Kazatomprom in 2020 under existing agreements.

Mr. Sharipov and Mr. Gitzel, as co-chairmen of the Kazakh-Canadian Business Council ('the Council'), also discussed the upcoming fifth meeting of the Council to be held in October 2022, in Nur-Sultan. The platform is expected to provide an additional opportunity to discuss cooperation between the business communities of both countries in key areas of interest.
