Cameco IssueCameco says production suspended at Kazakhstan mine: Canadian uranium miner Cameco says production has been suspended at the Inkai mine in Kazakhstan, a joint venture it has 40 per cent control over along with state-run Kazatomprom. The entity, known as JV Inkai, failed to receive an extension of the timeline to submit its updated project documentation by the end of the year 2024. Once that deadline passed without extension, Kazatomprom orders the JV to plan for a halt of operations to avoid being in breach of local laws, a move that Cameco says came as a surprise. “We will be seeking further clarification on how this transpired, as well as the potential …production and financial impacts,” Cameco said.
