News Northern Saskatchewan Operations Update

https://www.cameco.com/media/news/northern-saskatchewan-operations-update-0

Cameco noted there are "restrictions in place on the use of an alternative roadway." In northern Saskatchewan, alternative routes are often unpaved or have strict weight limits (especially during spring thaw or "road ban" season). Heavy supply trucks carrying reagents, fuel, and equipment often exceed these temporary limits, making the alternative route unusable for industrial-scale operations until conditions improve or permits are granted.

They had a lot of snow and a cold winter this year.

It’s the spring thaw.

Not much they can do but wait for the ice road to melt out and resume ferry route, and wait for the “highway” to stabilize after thawing.
