  5. Plan for Growth • Cameco plans to double their annual uranium production from 20 million lbs. to 40 million lbs. by 2018 • To achieve this, they plan on investing in the company itself, expanding production at existing mines and looking into other uranium production opportunities • “Double U focuses on expanding production at existing mines, bringing development properties into production, and advancing other projects already in Cameco’s portfolio.” –Cameco
