Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Cameco Corporation First Quarter Results Conference Call. I would like to turn the meeting over to Ms. Rachelle Girard, Director, Investor Relations. Please go ahead, Ms. Girard.

Thank you, Donna, and good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining us. Welcome to Cameco's first quarter conference call to discuss the financial results. With us today on the call are Tim Gitzel, President and CEO; Grant Isaac, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Ken Seitz, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer; Bob Steane, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and Alice Wong, Senior Vice President and Chief Corporate Officer. Tim will begin with comments on the quarter and the industry. Then Grant will comment on the Canada Revenue Agency tax case, after we will open it up for your questions. Today's conference call is open to all members of the investment community, including the media. [Operator Instructions] Please note that this conference call will include forward-looking information, which is based on a number of assumptions, and actual results could differ materially. Please refer to our annual information form and MD&A for more information about the factors that could cause these different results and the assumptions we have made. With that, I will turn it over to Tim. Timothy S. Gitzel: Well, thank you, Rachelle. And welcome to everyone who has joined us on the call today as we discuss Cameco's first quarter results. I'll start by briefly discussing our results and then move on to our strategy and our view of the market. Then before opening it up for Q&A, I've asked our Chief Financial Officer, Grant Isaac, to talk about to talk about the Canada Revenue Agency or the CRA litigation issue that seemed to draw a lot of attention last quarter. You may remember that last quarter, we gave some guidance on what we were expecting for this quarter, which is something we don't usually do. However in this case, we felt it was necessary as a result of some unusual first quarter items we were aware of that would result in significantly lower earnings than the same period last year. And that is indeed what we have seen occur. Our adjusted net earnings this quarter were $27 million compared to $121 million during the same period last year. We were expecting this primarily as a result of very low uranium deliveries in the first quarter and lower earnings from Bruce Power. We delivered 3.1 million pounds less this quarter than in Q1 of 2012. But as is often the case, our deliveries are lumpy throughout the year, and in 2013, as in previous years, about 60% of our deliveries will be made in the third and fourth quarters. With regard to Bruce Power, they had a large number of outage days scheduled for this quarter, which also impacted our results. I also want to remind you that our accounting for Bruce Power changed as of January 1. IFRS now requires we use the equity method of accounting as opposed to proportionate consolidation. As a result, we now report our share of our earnings before taxes as a single line item on our earnings statement. As I've said in the past, our performance in relation to annual guidance is a more accurate representation of the state of the company than quarterly performance. And I can report that we are on track to deliver on our sales, revenue and production guidance for the year. Production is one area where we were very strong this quarter, producing 5.9 million pounds, which is 23% more than the same period last year. Inkai was one of the big drivers of the increase. We've been able to bring on new well fields there, which helped us maintain higher feed grades and we were able to make improvements to the overall extraction process. At Cigar Lake, we continue our journey toward first production. The Cigar Lake team is making solid progress, continuing to complete their task safely and according to plan. By midyear, we should be reporting first commissioning in ore. So stay tuned for that. We also had a number of news items to report this quarter. First, our acquisition of NUKEM closed and we recorded $131 million in revenue and $4 million in gross profit in the first quarter. For the year, we expect to report gross profit margins for NUKEM between 3% and 5%. The second news item came from the provincial government in our home province of Saskatchewan. A change to the uranium royalty structure was announced that should prove beneficial for Cameco and the other uranium producers working in the province. Tiered royalties will now be based on profits rather than on revenue and should provide more certainty related to our large investment projects in Northern Saskatchewan, where most of our operations are located today. It's difficult to quantify what the benefit to Cameco will be in the near term until some of the variables are sorted out, but we do expect the change to be a benefit over the long term. And the last piece of news came from the Canadian federal government, which announced the finalization of Canada's Nuclear Cooperation Agreement or NCA with India. This is important since it will allow us to take advantage of the large market opportunity India represents for the nuclear industry and will allow us to deliver Canadian uranium there. India currently has 20 operating reactors and 7 under construction. They expect to have a total of 34 reactors operating by 2022, which is a huge amount of growth over the next decade, so we were very happy to see the NCA finalized. But India is just one of the growth drivers in the nuclear industry. Countries like China, Russia, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates are also pursuing rapid development and expansion of their nuclear programs. China alone has 28 reactors under construction today with 6 of those planned to come online this year. One already has, Unit 1 at Ningde just came online in April. We're expecting this growth to result in an increase of uranium consumption from 170 million pounds today to about 220 million pounds by 2022, an average annual growth rate of 3%. That's why you see us working to increase our annual supply from 23.3 million pounds we will produce this year to 36 million pounds per year by 2018 so that we can be ready to fill that demand. Now we believe that going forward, our production will be needed more than ever. As everyone knows, there has been a significant gap between production and consumption for many years that has historically been filled by secondary supplies. But we know those secondary supplies are diminishing, particularly with the end of the Russian highly enriched uranium commercial agreement this year, which will remove about 24 million pounds per year from the market, which equates to more than Cameco's entire annual production. Add to that, the uranium price where it is today and where it has been for some time, which has not helped incent producers to bring on new production. We see numerous projects canceled or delayed that would have helped fill the future supply-demand gap. And, we, at Cameco are not immune. Post-Fukushima, the uranium price has not recovered -- not recovered as quickly as we thought it would. And as a result, we've have had to adjust our plans to remain competitive. That meant making the changes you saw us implement over the last 6 months. Pulling back on our growth plans, spreading our capital spend over a longer period of time, focusing on brownfield projects and stable jurisdictions, streamlining our organization and reducing our administrative costs. I believe these are the right decisions for Cameco until we see some significant positive movement in the market. And I know we've been waiting for such movement for longer than might have been expected but we are confident it will happen. The fundamentals of the industry increase in demand and decreasing supply, require it. The question remains when? And the answer is that while we don't know the exact timing, we do know that the uranium price can move very quickly in response to market developments like we saw on 2007 and again in 2010. Meanwhile, the mechanics of our industry and our ability to react are quite slow. Regulatory processes take time. Construction takes time. Commissioning takes time. So we continue to watch the major catalysts that we believe will spur significant movement in our industry. Things like reactor restarts at Japan, the end of the HEU agreement, continued supply deferrals and cancellations, a return to long-term contracting and new reactors coming on line in China and India. But we also continue to be responsive to what we see going on now and are taking strong action today to be a leaner and more efficient in order to remain a profitable low cost producer and to return value to our shareholders. With that, I'm going to stop and turn it over to Grant Isaac to discuss the CRA issue. Grant? Grant E. Isaac: Thanks, Tim. We wanted to spend a bit of time on the CRA issue today because there've been a lot of questions on it since we released our annual MD&A and we wanted to provide more information on today's call and also in our Q1 MD&A. As most of your most are likely aware, since 2008, Canada Revenue Agency has disputed our offshore marketing company structure and the related transfer pricing methodology we used for certain intercompany uranium sale and purchase agreements between 2003 and 2007. Although we can't predict the outcome of the case for certain, we expect it to be substantially resolved in our favor and that the ultimate resolution will not be material to our financial position, our results of operations and our cash flows in the years of resolution. In very general terms, there are 2 key subjects at issue. The nature of the structure itself and the associated prices. With regard to the structure, we believe that it was established in accordance with sound business principles and in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. We employ an offshore marketing subsidiary since the majority of our customers are located outside of Canada and so are important sources of uranium supply. This subsidiary is an existing corporation that has a proper and active Board of Directors and an experienced general manager. We believe it is appropriate. This brings us to the second issue. The pricing, which we also believe to be generally compliant. The CRA requires that prices be based upon arm's-length terms and conditions, so we used the methodology preferred by the CRA. This means that at the time the arrangements were put in place, the prices between Cameco and our subsidiary reflected market conditions. Or in other words, they are prices that an independent third-party would reasonably agree to. As a result, we believe Cameco established its prices that generally complied with the required transfer pricing rules. So we are confident that we will be successful in our case. However, we have taken a cumulative tax provision of $65 million to date, which we think is reasonable based on an analysis of our contract portfolio and where there may be a disagreement over transfer prices. That is the extent of the issue in general terms, which I want to remind you is not a new issue. This has been ongoing since 2008 and there have been no fact changes since we've first disclosed it. We believe the reason for the increased interest recently was the $27 million payment we made to the CRA here in the first quarter of 2013. But reported in February -- our Q4 results in February. As we mentioned that at that time, the reason for that payment is that the Canadian Income Tax Act require certain companies to pay 50% of the tax associated with disputed reassessment, including interest and penalties. Until Q1 2013, we had not been required to make any significant cash tax payments due to the availability of elective deductions and tax loss carryovers. So why $27 million specifically? Well at the moment, the CRA has reassessed years 2003 to 2007 and have claimed approximately $1.3 billion in income for these years as taxable in Canada. If this amount were taken into income in Canada, it would result in a tax expense of about $380 million. Once elective deductions and tax loss carryovers are applied, as well as interest and installment penalties, the resulting cash payable is approximately $54 million of which 50% is $27 million, the amount that we paid in Q1 of 2013. We expect to recover this amount. Many of you have asked the next logical question. What about post-2007? Quite simply, we have not been reassessed for any years beyond 2007. But with our Q1 MD&A, we attempt to answer this question that you have asked frequently. So if we look at the overall picture from '03 to 2012, using the methodology we believe that the CRA will continue to apply and we assume that years 2008 to 2012 will be reassessed, we estimate that the CRA, with reassessing, come up with income approximately $4.9 billion in total. If this is taken into income in Canada come it would result in a tax expense of approximately $1.4 billion. Cash taxes payable would be between $800 million and $850 million, not including interest and installment penalties, which would be material. We would be responsible for remitting 50% of the resulting amount. I should point out that these are estimates only based on our understanding of the CRA methodology and that actual amounts will depend on the income reassessed in each year and the availability of elective deductions and tax loss carryovers. But I want to emphasize that we do not believe this will be the likely outcome or that the ultimate resolution of this matter will be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the years of resolution. Based on our view of the likely outcome of this case, we expect to recover the amounts remitted. I hope this helps to clarify the issue. Unfortunately, we can't tell you any more than we have today or what is in our MD&A. As this is a case currently before the courts and it would be inappropriate to do so. We will update you as any material changes arise, but we don't expect to have anything to report until there is a decision. At the moment, the 2003 assessment is expected to go to trial in the fall of 2014, which could mean a tax court decision in 2015. And with that, I'll turn it back to Tim. Timothy S. Gitzel: So thank you, Grant. And with that, we'd be pleased to answer any questions you might have.

[Operator Instructions] And the first question is from Edward Sterck from BMO Capital Markets. Edward Sterck - BMO Capital Markets Canada: So I've got -- just as for NUKEM and the [indiscernible] sales for the period. They're not disclosed in the MD&A. Is it reasonable to assume that the conversion is disclosed is factored into or]indiscernible] U.S. that are disclosed [indiscernible]and that the enrichment is actually included within that? Timothy S. Gitzel: I'll ask Ken Seitz to answer that. Kenneth A. Seitz: Ed, I'm going to have to get back to you on that one. I don't think that, that's the case. But we'll have to -- I don't have that at my fingertips. Edward Sterck - BMO Capital Markets Canada: Okay. Now, just a follow-up question, again on NUKEM. With the sort of incoming cash flow of around $99 million for the quarter, is there are quite a lot of seasonality in the cash flow profile of NUKEM? i.e. would we expect lower cash flow in subsequent quarters? Kenneth A. Seitz: There is similar seasonality to our own portfolio. And it's the same 6-month delivery notice that they have under their contracts, so very similar, it's sort of an industry standard. And so they could, in any given year, have similar lumpiness to exactly like we're experiencing in the quarter at the moment. Grant E. Isaac: Yes, and in addition, Ed, this -- it's Grant Isaac here. Keep in mind that that cash flow is largely due to a drawdown of inventory, as well as the cash receivable in that quarter. So just reinforcing that, yes, it can be lumpy.

The next question is from Tyler Langton from JPMorgan. Tyler J. Langton - JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division: Just regarding the draft safety guidelines from the NRA. Just wondering if you could sort of share your thoughts on that? Sort of, this is inline with the expectations? Timothy S. Gitzel: So, Tyler, we have had a look at them. And I would say they're stringent as we would expect them to be. We know from talking to our Japanese customers and utilities that they know them inside and out. And I think are commenting on the draft part of them, but I think you can expect it, they'll look fairly similar when they do come out. So I think they are fairly stringent. One of the pieces that might not be as widely known is that utilities, we believe and we've heard go out several years to comply with the guidelines, to conform with the guidelines when they are published finally, which we believe will happen in July. So we have looked at them. They are available to anyone. We're certainly not reactor experts in that regard. But I'd say our Japanese customers and the utilities have looked through them. We've talked to them about it and they're spending, I would say, billions of dollars today to comply with those guidelines. Tyler J. Langton - JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division: Maybe in terms of, I guess, restarts. Do you think [indiscernible] they're more stringent. I think last quarter you thought you said could day maybe 6 to 8 restarts this year. Do you think that there's a chance it pushes back on that number this year? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, we did put those numbers out and we've been holding somewhere around there, I guess not knowing exactly. But I think, Ken, there was some news came out of Japan this morning? Kenneth A. Seitz: Yes, absolutely, Tim. So we saw the heads of 3 large Japanese utilities talk about their own applications for restarts, that was Kansai, Kyushu and Shikoku. But they will be submitting their applications in the middle of July and that there's a good chance that at least those units will be on the grid within 2013. And so there's 5 units there. We expect a couple of other utilities to be submitting their applications as well. So 6 to 8, certainly uncertainty around those numbers. But there hasn't been a material fact change in our view since we last put out those numbers and certainly some announcements coming from some of the utilities that would in some way support those numbers.

Our next question is from Greg Barnes from TD Securities. Greg Barnes - TD Securities Equity Research: I guess as a question for Ken or for Tim. The guidance for sales volume from NUKEM of 9 to 11 million pounds this year. I assume that, that includes the sell down of the remaining HEU that they have? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, it does. Kenneth A. Seitz: Yes, it does, Greg. Greg Barnes - TD Securities Equity Research: How much? Timothy S. Gitzel: Well, it's sort of similar to our own situation in that if you are designating HEU pounds per sale or other inventories that you might have, they would, it's possible to carry a little bit of HEU into next year but the bulk of it will be sold in this year-end under that 9 to 11 million pounds. Greg Barnes - TD Securities Equity Research: So how do you think the sales volume could translate into 2014 and without HEU? Or the bulk of HEU anyway? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, we -- if you look at historically what NUKEM has done is they've been in that sort of 3,000 to 5,000 ton range and that was prior to HEU and all those things and so, depending on the liquidity in the spot market and the opportunities that make themselves available, we could see them doing that sort of volume in the future. Greg Barnes - TD Securities Equity Research: Okay, okay. A bigger picture question on URENCO which is creating a lot of buzz, any comments on what's going on with the sales process, timing, your level of interest, anything? Timothy S. Gitzel: Greg, I don't think we have any better information than anyone else or what's been put out into the public. We're watching like others as to who might be selling, at what percentage they might be selling. We've had an interest in enrichment for some years, evidenced by our investment in GLE. And so we're just watching the URENCO piece, nothing further to report. We will be interested to see if they can ever reach agreement on what's for sale and when.

Our next question is from Rod Nicholson, Reuters.

Just to follow-up on the question about URENCO. I was wondering, Tim, if you can elaborate a bit on where Cameco is at on whether it would make a decision to bid for a stake and whether one of the options under consideration is a joint bid with Canada Pension Plan? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, we wouldn't comment on any of those things. I think, as I said, we're just watching. I'm not sure anyone knows what's for sale or when and so, we have our interest in GLE that we're certainly continuing to pursue, which we hope will get us into the enrichment business but on the URENCO side, we're just watching.

Do you have any sense of what the timeline might be for whoever ends up buying up URENCO when that might happen? Timothy S. Gitzel: When you have 3 different governments and countries involved, I can't imagine it would be very quick. But we just watch the public information that comes out and so we really don't have any better information than anyone else.

Our next question is from John Tumazos from John Tumazos Very Independent Research. John Charles Tumazos - John Tumazos Very Independent Research, LLC: My question involves 2 aspects of uranium market pricing, which I appreciate if you could try to explain to me, if you understand them yourselves. As the Russians stopped selling these pounds, do you expect an immediate impact or do you think there is consumer transit, other inventories that would absorb the blow for a period of time? And secondly, as substitute fuel prices change such as the U.S. nat gas price rebounding from 1 90 to 4 40, does that affect the uranium price in terms of motivating plant restarts, for example, in the U.S.? Timothy S. Gitzel: I'll ask Ken to speak to that. Ken? Kenneth A. Seitz: Yes, absolutely. So with respect of the first question, the HEU agreement ending and the Russian materials stopping its flow to the west. We have talked about our level of commitments for some period of time and that is, that we're heavily committed through 2016 and we wouldn't be the only producer that's committed that way. And similarly, our customers are fairly well covered through the period, we've talked about that in the past. And I think it just helps to explain that while HEU is coming off, the end of it is not going to be a colossal event in that utilities and producers have been planning for it for some time. So we expect the transition to be fairly smooth and with things like Cigar Lake coming on, it helps to fill that gap. I will say that, of course, the end of the HEU agreement shines the light on this transition that our market is going through and that is from secondary supply-dominated to really mine supply. And so I think it just shines the light on the need for more primary production. So I think with respect to HEU, that will be the sort of transition. With respect to natural gas prices, we've watched that very closely. And for the longer term, we -- obviously competing with other energy and power generation sources. But I'll say that the bulk of the development that we see in the nuclear industry today is in places like China, India, Korea -- South Korea and Russia who talk more about energy security and energy independence. And frankly, clean air than -- and the need for the diverse mix than beholden to natural gas prices. So we do have some new build construction in some regulated markets in the U.S. but we don't think that this fluctuation in natural gas prices necessarily has a big impact on the future of new build.

[Operator Instructions] And next question is from Borden Putnam from Mione Capital.

Might be a question for Bob here. On the Cigar Lake, you report that the first jet boring was a successful test. But in the April 3 hearings at the CNSC, Steve Lowen, I believe reported that those were merely the drilling of the 16-inch holes and that no cavitation have been done yet. Can you update us when you will do cavitation and what level of the mine is test work being done at? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes. Borden, I appreciate the question, in fact Bob and I were meeting with the Cigar Lake people just yesterday. So Bob can give you an update on that. Robert A. Steane: Yes, Borden, that information from the hearing is correct. What we have been testing and done multiple holes would be -- with one of the jet boring machines has been, all of the cycling of drilling and checking off the packers, back flow preventer and so on, up to -- what we have not done is jetting. So we haven't jetted cavities. We've drilled up through to the length and tested all the various features of the machines so the operators are very adept at running it through its paces and changing of steel in the cycle time, relocating, changing the direction of the drill so on. And all of this has been done in the mine in a production, 1-day production cost cut so it's all down on the 480 level, is where it's happening. We anticipate having doing jetting in rock with having the high-pressure water system and so on in place, and start cutting rock with the jet system in probably June, July time.

Interesting, Bob. One final follow-up, I should say, the back filling with concrete will be done from the same level as the mining, if you will, from below the ore body. Can -- without bogging down the conversation here, can you walk us through the mechanics of that? It's going to be quite fascinating. Robert A. Steane: Yes. It's -- after the hole is complete then all the jet boring tools and everything are extracted from the hole and then there's a pipe arrangement that is inserted up to the top of the cavity, included in that is a breather pipe that allows the air to get out and then we start injecting or pumping concrete up through the for the concrete pipe. The air is allowed to escape back to a vent pipe and just keep pumping in concrete until you fill it all the way up to the top and concrete comes out the bottom and you withdraw and seal it off and let it harden.

Our next question is from Oscar Cabrera from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Oscar Cabrera - BofA Merrill Lynch, Research Division: I just wanted to get back into -- I can appreciate that in the current environment, being mindful of capital expenditures, now that it's important. But going back to Greg's question from Saudi Aramco. If you have a dollar to spend over the next 5 years, would you put that in the enrichment or on your primary uranium mine? Timothy S. Gitzel: Well, Oscar, we are investing in our uranium mines. Obviously, Cigar Lake, we're bringing that on this year. We've got McArthur River, the brownfield project. So those are our first choice. Where we are already safe jurisdictions. We know the government, we know the people, the aboriginals, we have the infrastructure. That's our first choice and that's where we've been focusing. Oscar Cabrera - BofA Merrill Lynch, Research Division: Okay, that helps. And then with respect to Bruce Power, in the current environment, can you remind me when do you have to reach a decision whether you would like to extend the lease on the reactors and what investment for the retrofitting of those reactors, the capital expenditure amount that you will need to do, when do you need to make a decision and what's the level of CapEx for that please? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, Oscar, that's a good question because there was some movement in the quarter on that. You probably will have seen that, or Duncan Hawthorne, the present CEO at Bruce, negotiated with the Ontario government the extension of the floor price protection for the Bruce B units to now match the lifetime of the reactors so it gave us some additional life, if you like, to those reactors. So I think those floor protections were starting to come off at the end of 2015, and for the first one and then going through the rest of the decade and now they are -- I think their matched up with the lifetime of the reactors, which is more of the 2019, 2020 period. So it's around that period now that we'll have to take decisions on refurbishments. Of course, that's -- those aren't taken in isolation, those are taken in consultation with the Ontario Power Authority and with the Ontario government just as to what's the requirements are going forward. So some big capital and of course, those will be large capital decisions. But toward the end of the decade, we're looking at that investment now. And we'll -- as we did with Bruce 8 units, we'll look at the economics of those decisions and decide whether to trade for Cameco.

Our next question is from Daniel Rohr of Morningstar. Daniel Rohr - Morningstar Inc., Research Division: Just a question regarding long term demands, specifically China's rather ambitious growth plans for its reactor fleet. Do you all get the sense from talking with Chinese officials that the government's resolve to meet those big objectives for growth had been -- has been in anyway bolstered by the high-profile pollution issues we've seen so far this year? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, we're in constant contact with the 2 big Chinese customers. We signed some very large agreements with them back in 2010 and have just recently got the Chinese Canadian Nuclear Cooperation Agreement in place. So we count China as being a major customer for us going forward. It depends whose numbers you're looking at. We've seen quite varying predictions of growth in China going forward. Who's ever you look at, they're pretty aggressive when you see today, 28 reactors under construction, that's a lot. And I think we see about 60 -- 58 or 60 gigawatt installed by the end of the decade, and continuing to grow after that, and so that is aggressive growth. Do climate change, clean air, more important issues factor in for them? Absolutely, they do. They get to CNN just like everyone else does and you can see the streets of Beijing some days where you can't see across the street. So that's clearly, clearly a factor they weigh in. The other factor, of course, is just the burgeoning demand for electricity and it's not going to be just on the back of nuclear. I can tell you nuclear, even with that growth plan, represents just a small fraction of the power and electricity they're going to need going forward, so it's -- they're going to be pulling on all of the levers.

Our next question is from Edward Sterck of BMO Capital Markets. Edward Sterck - BMO Capital Markets Canada: Just coming back for a couple more questions here. The first is on -- going back to NUKEM actually, and the question of SWU. In the guidance, as provided for NUKEM going forward, it's indicated that 500,000 kilograms SWU will be sold during 2013. Apart from this quarter where it's not disclosed in the sales figures will we get an indication of what the quarterly enrichment sales are? Grant E. Isaac: Yes, we can certainly get you those numbers today, yes. Edward Sterck - BMO Capital Markets Canada: And then the second question really is just on the royalties in Saskatchewan. It looks as though they have come down a bit further than had been initially anticipating. Are some of the costs that can be offset against them being brought in sooner than expected? Timothy S. Gitzel: So, and I'd just say, overall, we're happy to see the movement by the provincial government. And we think it'll be a good incentive for growth going forward. But Grant Isaac has some details on that. Grant E. Isaac: Yes, the framework that you're referring to, Ed, and actually you can put a note out on still remains accurate. The legislative framework in March did speak to the profit base system so that's a transition going to the 2 tiers with the price trigger at $22 a kilogram. So that framework hasn't changed. The piece that we're just still a bit uncertain about, and it's why we haven't -- why we don't have disclosure on what the benefits will look like is that -- the legislative change, it has to be given life by regulatory standards. And the process we're in now in the province of Saskatchewan is to develop of those regulations. Those regulations will in fact govern the tradition -- transition plan to the new structure from the old. And it will also codify those costs that you were talking about. What I would say in general though is we're very pleased that a broader range of costs are -- will now be included in their royalty structure that had previously been included. So in addition to it being a profit-based system and actual and that time of spend, we also see a broader range as well, supporting not just the direct expenditures that are required by Cameco but also some of the infrastructure investment that's required just to be doing economic activity in the part of the world. So more to come as we understand the regulations and the transition on this. Edward Sterck - BMO Capital Markets Canada: Would it be fair, just in the current quarter then, the one that just passed, to see that a greater percentage of the sales for the quarter came from lower royalty jurisdictions then perhaps would be normal? Grant E. Isaac: Yes, I think, it's probably more fair to say that the transition plan for 2013 will basically keep the province whole for this year. So, really, there would have been no marginal difference between the old system and the new system for the first quarter, so that's what you're detecting. That's still the effect of the old system.

[Operator Instructions] And our next question is from Greg Barnes of TD Securities. Greg Barnes - TD Securities Equity Research: I wanted to go back to the question about China and reactor growth. And where do you think they stand in relation to building inventory? Where are they buying the future supply of uranium from? I hope or I'd assume you anticipate signing some longer term -- additional longer term agreements with them. Do you want to give us some color around that? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes. I'll ask Ken to comment on that. Kenneth A. Seitz: Yes, Greg. As you know, I'm sure, that the Chinese have been very active obviously over the last 5 years contracting uranium in anticipation of this very, very large new build program that they have under way and then through that, Fukushima put a pause on that. So that I would say today, the Chinese are fairly well covered. We've put them in the camp of other utilities where buying is somewhat discretionary among the Chinese. I think what's often lost though is with that large new build programs, inventory policy's a question and anywhere from 3 to 4 years of inventory needs to be put behind all of these new reactors. And of course, initial cores are 1.5x the volume of reloads and so on and so forth. So while the Chinese have a lot of inventory, they could have -- be well covered the moment they need that for this very large program. The Chinese are in the market buying today. We have sold uranium to the Chinese certainly over the 6 months and we're in those discussions all the time. In terms of new long term supply, Greg, not surprising. We're spending a lot of time in Beijing these days and we absolutely expect that the Chinese will -- are today and are frankly, will continue to be a very important customer of ours. And it's all augmented by, as Tim mentioned earlier, the recently signed Nuclear Cooperation Agreements between Canada and China and we'll now be sending Canadian material as well. So, yes, China is a big part of our plans. Greg Barnes - TD Securities Equity Research: Ken, when you see they're fairly well covered in relation to what other utilities have done, do you suggest then that they're covered through 2016 like everyone else? And then their requirements widen out again? Timothy S. Gitzel: It's a really difficult one to answer, Greg. And that -- again, it becomes a question of inventory policy. And what it is that they want to have sitting behind their reactors. I'm going to see 3 or 4 years, that's been our experience with Asian utilities. But of course, with the Chinese and energy security and really no domestic uranium production, it could be that they want to have larger inventories than that. So I find it difficult to give you a year, 2015, 2016. All I can tell you is they're in the market today. And I can also tell you that we're talking to them all the time about the new long term supply.

Our next question is from Andrew O'Neill of Central Securities. Andrew J. O'Neill - Central Securities Corp.: In your MD&A, you mentioned that there's still, even though there's been some pushing out and cancelation of the new primary supply in the future, that there are still some projects going ahead particularly linked with sovereign interests. I wonder if you could be a little more specific about which particular interests and projects those are? And what you really think is motivating them, I guess, ignoring those market price signals? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, I think the ones we would probably refer you to are the Kazakhs who we saw some reports come out from some government members that they plan to increase their production through 2016. I think from 21 -- by about 4,000 tons, I think -- from 21,000 to 25,000 tons. So they continue to move it up. That said, we expected that and certainly in our calculations have factored that in. I guess the other piece would be the Chinese announcement on the Husab project in Namibia, and now, I can't say I have any firsthand information on how that's going ahead or we saw some pretty aggressive, at least from our point of view, pretty aggressive timelines on bringing that project done. It won't be a simple project and we've had the looks at it in the past and it's not an easy project. But those would be the 2 pieces I think we were referring to. Andrew J. O'Neill - Central Securities Corp.: And what do you think is motivating those efforts on both of those situations, I guess? Timothy S. Gitzel: Well, I think for the Chinese side, clearly, a strategy to not only purchase uranium from suppliers like us, as Ken was talking about, but to have some domestic production. They have very little but that's much as they can get out of China. And then we've seen them go in Tunisia with the small project. And now, this one in Namibia. So I think they're looking to source some of their own production and have maybe a multipronged strategy of produce at home, produce a bit abroad and then buy. Andrew J. O'Neill - Central Securities Corp.: And Kazakhstan? Timothy S. Gitzel: Our design capacity is that -- it's taken us several years to do that, we're at that now and we're happy about that. I would assume that's what they're doing with some of the other projects because we don't hear of new -- brand new projects, greenfield projects, it's more incremental production on existing projects. Andrew J. O'Neill - Central Securities Corp.: And just -- if I can follow up, just -- does that suggest that generally in Kazakhstan they're not as much value maximizers as they might, perhaps be if they were more of a commercial business? Timothy S. Gitzel: Well, I think they are. We've seen -- we have been working with them now for over 15 years and certainly seen the progress. They're very astute, they're very aware of the market. We see them in the United States market and the European markets. So I think they're quite astute. I think it's just incremental production that they can add to their existing production.

Our next question is from Emily Meredith of Energy Intelligence.

Just a quick question on imports into China -- or I guess, your shipments into China. How is the current pause in uranium import licensing on their part affecting you all, if at all? Timothy S. Gitzel: Yes, Ken has some recent information on that. Kenneth A. Seitz: Yes, so we're shipping, physically delivering uranium to China from several places in the world right now. And as you rightly pointed out there is a little bit of a hiatus on that as they work through some environmental permitting issues. We expect those issues be cleared up over the next month or 1.5 months. And that uranium will once again be crossing the border into China. So how does it affect our deliveries for the year? Today, as we see it, we expect to make all of our deliveries to China so that while there might be a slight timing issue within the year depending on how those approvals or border crossings advance. The timing issue, just with respect to quarterly deliveries, we expect to make them all within the year.

And will you realize the revenues for those deliveries when you expect to? Or when the deliveries are made? Kenneth A. Seitz: We will realize the revenue from those when we're paid for them we're not just dependent, of course, on the -- on when it gets delivered. But again, we expect to do that within the year.

Our next question is from Borden Putnam of Mione Capital.

Bob, another question if I can. I got to take you a couple of months, I didn't queue myself up at the last conference call. The -- well, first of all, the 42101 on McArthur River is a stunning piece of work. I read that a couple of times actually, and looking at the engineering that you guys have been inventive on. And so, carefully put in place with the freeze holes there. It's just -- it's a remarkable thing and there's nobody else the world doing it like this so props to you guys, it's quite impressive. And that leads to my question on the McArthur reserves. There was a staggering increase to the probable announced. It's about 80% increase to the probable at McArthur, some 58 million pounds, nearly. You haven't done anything that material since 2001 in probable. And I wonder if you could -- I'm guessing that's from a mine plan [indiscernible] indicated. Can you give us a little color on that, and where those towns are located in? And what's your plan for those as for as moving inventory to a proven? Robert A. Steane: Yes, Borden, that's a -- the big piece there is the [indiscernible] on part in the -- to the north that, that's what big change in the [indiscernible] to bring those in, as well as some other reserves in -- within the mine but that was the big change.

Okay. And last question for me. I haven't been up to the site for a while. The Phoenix resource is growing, it's been indicated with a pretty high level of confidence for resource. And its grade went down year-on-year but it's tonnage almost doubled. Can you point me the direction of where it is and how many drill holes are in it and what kind of attention you're putting to it this year? Robert A. Steane: The Phoenix deposit is -- it's north of Key Lake and south of McArthur River. It's a little bit south of our Millennium deposit. It's operated by Denison. Denison is -- you need to go to the Denison reports to get the information on holes and the plans and where they are, we're a minority shareholder in it but Denison is the operator.

Okay. And what's your plans for it this year, I guess, I'll just look at their stuff? Timothy S. Gitzel: I think they have a program in place but we have to check it. But Borden, let's say, we appreciate your comments with respect to McArthur River and the work that's been done there and we look around the table here to try and take credit for it and we can't find anyone that can take credit for it because it's those guys at the site, underground that have really done a great job of finding solutions. You'll remember, if you've been on these calls for a few years, some of the issues we were dealing with, with trying to drill up into the sandstone, those 100-meter upholes to freeze and they have done a very good job of being inventive, finding solutions and that McArthur mine just keeps getting better for us. So we will pass your comments on to them.

Yes, Tim, I won't to compare the old 42101s to the new ones and the change in your approach is just dramatic. It's just very well done. Timothy S. Gitzel: We'll pass that on the people at site.

Thank you. This concludes the questions from the telephone lines. I would like to turn the meeting back over to Mr. Tim Gitzel for closing remarks. Timothy S. Gitzel: Thank you, operator. And thank you to everyone who's joined us on the call today. In closing, I just like to reiterate that we continue to prepare for the long term demand we foresee in the market. But we also recognize the importance of adapting to the current environment to remain competitive and to return value to our shareholders in the near term. And that's the path you see us following today. We've built on our existing foundation of strong production and industry expertise to intensify our focus on execution and maximize efficiencies, while also pursuing growth measured to the conditions of the market. As a result, I believe we will continue to deliver strong results and to remain a leader in our field. So, again, thanks for joining us, and have a great day.

Thank you. The Cameco Corporation First Quarter Results Conference Call has now ended. Please disconnect your lines at this time. We thank you for your participation and have a great day.
