Cameco says it is resuming production at its Port Hope Conversion Facility’s UF6 plant and its Blind River Refinery in Ontario. Both will restart the week of May 18th and achieve regular production levels the week of May 25th. Government and public health directives around COVID-19 were contributing to workforce uncertainty which led to the temporary shutdowns. But, there is no change in status for the Cigar Lake uranium mine here in Saskatchewan. The operation will remain in care and maintenance mode as pandemic conditions continue to challenge several northern communities.
