Cameco says remediation work is going as planned at the Cigar Lake uranium project.

 

The company has completed pouring a concrete barrier in the area near where a rockfall resulted in a flood of the underground development.

 

Cameco spokesperson Lyle Krahn says, so far, everything is going according to plan.

 

He adds crews should be able to de-water the mine during the second half of this year.

 

Construction will be completed by 2011 at the earliest.

 

The mine was roughly 60 per cent complete when the flooding hit in 2006.
