Today's Globe and Mail The long-awaited start of production at Cameco Corp.’s Cigar Lake uranium mine in Saskatchewan has earned the company a substantial price target increase.
“After years of delays and mine re-engineering, Cigar Lake is finally in production,” said Cantor Fitzgerald Canada analyst Rob Chang in a research note.
Cigar Lake is expected to be one of the largest uranium mines in the world and will be a key production driver for Cameco going forward, he noted.
He maintained his “buy” rating and raised his target price to $32.70 (Canadian) from $26.60. The analyst consensus price target is $26.80.
