Lingering Uranium Market Weakness Drives Cameco to Temporarily Shut McArthur River/Key Lake

On Nov. 8, Cameco announced that it would temporarily shut down operations at its McArthur River mine and Key Lake mill beginning in January 2018. The shutdown is expected to last 10 months, at a cost of roughly $6.5 million-$7.5 million per month, with additional costs likely to arise. In addition, the company cut its quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, or $0.40 per share annually, to a single annual dividend of $0.08 per share.
