     Cameco Corporation’s audit committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the external auditors, including the tax and all other fees noted above, in order to ensure the independence of the external auditors. Unless a type of service to be provided by the external auditor receives general pre-approval, it requires specific pre-approval by Cameco’s audit committee or audit committee chair or, in the absence of the committee chair, a member of the audit committee as designated by the audit committee or board.
