"Cameco Corporation announced today that underground activities at the Eagle Point mine at the Rabbit Lake operation have been temporarily reduced as a precautionary measure," Cameco stated in a press release.
Capacity of water-handling equipment at the Saskatoon, Canada mine had been reduced due to an equipment upgrade.
"Limited mining activity will continue and the mill continues to operate with a small amount of stockpiled ore. This mine has encountered similar situations in the past and dealt with them successfully," it said.
