OUR COMPANY:Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison") is a public company listed on the NYSE American and TSX stock exchanges focused on the advancement of a portfolio of uranium exploration and development project interests in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. Denison is also responsible for mine care and maintenance of its decommissioned mine sites inElliot Lake, Ontario.
Denison's flagship project is the Wheeler River Uranium Project (the "Project"), which is the largest undeveloped uranium mining project in the infrastructure-rich eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan. The Project is located approximately 35 km north-northeast of Cameco's Key Lake Operation and 35 km southwest of Cameco's McArthur River Operation in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin. The Project is accessible by vehicle and is located about 5 km west of Highway 914.
In August 2023, Denison filed (i) the Feasibility Study ("Phoenix FS") completed for In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") mining of the high-grade Phoenix uranium deposit ("Phoenix") and (ii) a cost update to the 2018 Pre-Feasibility Study for conventional underground mining of the basement-hosted Gryphon uranium deposit ("Gryphon"). With the successful completion of thePhoenix FS, Denison has advanced the planned Phoenix ISR project through the technical de-risking process and hasalready commenced the first phases of project execution. Concurrently, Denison is also advancing the environmentalassessment ("EA") process, which is a critical step to securing the approvals necessary to develop and operate a mine in Canada.
The planned Phoenix ISR operation is on track to become the first ISR uranium mining operation in Canada and has the potential to be one of the lowest-cost and most environmentally sustainable uranium mining operations in the world.
