CAMECO CORPORATION Corporate Office 2121-11th Street West Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada 57M 1J3
VIA E-MAIL
Secretary Doug Burgum United States Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, D.C., U.S.A. 20240
Tel 306.956.6200 Fax 306.956.6201 www.cameco.corn
Dear Secretary Burgum:
Please allow me to congratulate you on your confirmation as Secretary of Interior and your appointment as Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council. Your leadership will be crucial in delivering on the vision of United States global energy dominance.
Cameco is uniquely positioned to be a vital partner to the United States in launching the American nuclear renaissance by unleashing commercial nuclear power. As you may be aware, Cameco is the world's largest publicly traded uranium producer, with current production in Saskatchewan, Canada and potential re-start production in Wyoming and Nebraska. We are invested across the entire nuclear fuel cycle, including the largest uranium conversion facility in North America, as well as our ownership in cutting-edge uranium enrichment technology under development at Global Laser Enrichment in North Carolina. Over the last several decades, Cameco has supplied uranium and conversion to every U.S. reactor.
In November 2023, Cameco finalized a significant ownership investment in Westinghouse (WEC), the designer of America's flagship AP1000 reactor technology. Cameco-WEC's deployment of the AP1000 in the U.S. can play a significant role in meeting growing domestic electricity needs, particularly those related to data centers and artificial intelligence. We are also uniquely positioned to integrate the only fully designed, built, and operating Gen III+ U.S. reactor technology with full scope fuel supply that will enable the U.S. to compete with and defeat China and Russia in securing generational, 60-100 year relationships across the globe.
In addition to the important investments Cameco has already made in our U.S. assets, we are excited about the prospect of further investment, which should lead to the creation of long term, high paying jobs as the U.S. seeks to resurrect its once dominant civil nuclear industry.
Cameco has also partnered with the U.S. government to support important non-proliferation objectives. For instance, Cameco participated in the 'megatons to megawatts' agreement between the U.S. and Russia, which helped in the dismantling and recycling of over 403 tonnes of nuclear warheads. We also worked with the U.S. government to support the removal of uranium from Iraq in 2007.
Energizinga clean-air world

Secretary Doug Burgum March 6, 2025 Page 2 of 2
I would be very pleased to meet with you at your earliest convenience for a more in-depth discussion about creating the most conducive regulatory and policy environment for enhanced investment in civil nuclear energy in the U.S. and generation dominance of the civil nuclear energy market abroad. I look forward to meeting you and wish you every success in your roles as Secretary of.Interior and Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council. Very best regards, Tim S. Gitzel President and Chief Executive Officer

Hi
My name is Andrew Shaw and I am a Partner at Bracewell. We represent Cameco, the world's largest publicly traded uranium company with assets across the mining, conversion, enrichment, and fabrication sectors of the nuclear fuel cycle. Cameco owns mines in Nebraska and Wyoming and the company, though its investment in Global Laser Enrichment, is looking to commercialize next-generation enrichment technology in Paducah, Kentucky. Cameco also recently acquired a 49% interest in Westinghouse, owner of America's flagship AP1000 reactor technology.
Next Tuesday, February 25, through Thursday, February 27, Cameco's CEO Tim Gitzel as part of a delegation with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe. I appreciate that it's short notice but I wanted to see if the Secretary might have any availability to meet with the Cameco CEO and the Saskatchewan Premier. We have also reached out to the White House National Energy Dominance Council, too. We would be interested in discussing how the US and Canada can work to bolster energy security and particularly how Cameco can help the US reclaim its leadership on civil nuclear power.

Good morning, Daniel and Wynn--I hope this finds you well. I'm reupping the below invitation for Secretary Burgum to meet with the Air Liquide Global CEO, along with the Americas CEO and the North American CEO, during CERAWeek. I've added Wynn here.
Do you think we will be able to find a time slot that works for the Secretary?

By way of reminder, Air Liquide is active in every state in the US; manufactures and provides industrial gases essential for US energy development; and intends to grow its already sizable investment in energy production and jobs in the US. Currently, Air Liquide has 22,000 employees in the US throughout facilities in every state.
I'm happy to answer any questions or provide additional information, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Daniel--
Dee Martin over at Bracewell here. I'm writing today on behalf of Air Liquide, a world leader in manufacturing and distributing industrial gases (e.g., hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen). Industrial gases are essential for U.S. energy production, and in some instances serve as a domestic energy vector, like hydrogen.
In the U.S., Air Liquide is headquartered in Houston, Texas with 22,000 employees across facilities in every, single state, including in North Dakota.
On March 11 -14, Air Liquide's Global CEO Francios Jackow will be in Houston for CERAWeek along with Air Liquide Americas CEO Matthieu Giard and Air Liquide North America CEO Adam Peters, both Houston residents.
Messrs. Jackow, Giard, and Peters would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with Secretary Burgum during CERA Week to congratulate him on his new role as Interior Secretary and as Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council. They would like to brief the Secretary on Air Liquide's commitment to expanding U.S. energy production and unleashing American energy. Is there a time slot that would work for Secretary Burgum, if he has plans to be at CERAWeek?
By way of background, Air Liquide:
1. Is a world leader in industrial gas production, and its gases and technologies play an essential role in U.S. energy production.
2. Is one of the nation's largest hydrogen producers;
0000651
3. Operates more than 2,000 miles of pipelines along the U.S. Gulf Coast; 4. Operates one of the country's largest, private trucking fleets; 5. Is a key contributor to U.S. energy development--Air Liquide has approximately 22,000 employees in the
United States and operations in every state. 6. Globally, Air Liquide operates in 75 countries and has 66,300 employees. Thank you in advance for considering this request, and we look forward to hearing from you. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. Best, Dee

Hello, Daniel--
Dee Martin over at Bracewell here. I'm writing today on behalf of Air Liquide, a world leader in manufacturing and distributing industrial gases (e.g., hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen). Industrial gases are essential for U.S. energy production, and in some instances serve as a domestic energy vector, like hydrogen.
In the U.S., Air Liquide is headquartered in Houston, Texas with 22,000 employees across facilities in every, single state, including in North Dakota.
On March 11 -14, Air Liquide's Global CEO Francios Jackow will be in Houston for CERAWeek along with Air Liquide Americas CEO Matthieu Giard and Air Liquide North America CEO Adam Peters, both Houston residents.
Messrs. Jackow, Giard, and Peters would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with Secretary Burgum during CERA Week to congratulate him on his new role as Interior Secretary and as Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council. They would like to brief the Secretary on Air Liquide's commitment to expanding U.S. energy production and unleashing American energy. Is there a time slot that would work for Secretary Burgum, if he has plans to be at CERAWeek?
By way of background, Air Liquide:
1. Is a world leader in industrial gas production, and its gases and technologies play an essential role in U.S. energy production.
2. Is one of the nation's largest hydrogen producers; 3. Operates more than 2,000 miles of pipelines along the U.S. Gulf Coast; 4. Operates one of the country's largest, private trucking fleets; 5. Is a key contributor to U.S. energy development--Air Liquide has approximately 22,000 employees in the
United States and operations in every state. 6. Globally, Air Liquide operates in 75 countries and has 66,300 employees.
Thank you in advance for considering this request, and we look forward to hearing from you. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Hi Kristen - I wanted to circle back regarding the request below for Secretary Burgum for a meeting with Cameco CEO. I know the Secretary's schedule is very busy but Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel would love to discuss how the U.S. can reclaim its leadership, both domestically and internationally, in the nuclear industry. Cameco is the world's largest publicly traded uranium company with assets across the mining, conversion, enrichment, and fabrication sectors of the nuclear fuel cycle. Over the years, Cameco has provided uranium and conversion to every U.S. reactor. Cameco also recently acquired an ownership interest in Westinghouse, owner of America's flagship AP1000 reactor technology. Westinghouse is well situated to deploy new reactors both domestically and internationally. Please let me know if you have any questions. ThanksAndrew
