About Denison
Denison is a uranium exploration and development company with
interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern
Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company has an effective 95% interest in
its flagship Wheeler River Uranium Project, which is the largest
undeveloped uranium project in the infrastructure rich eastern
portion of the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. In
mid-2023, a Feasibility Study was completed for Wheeler
River’s Phoenix deposit as an ISR mining operation, and an
update to the previously prepared PFS was completed for Wheeler
River’s Gryphon deposit as a conventional underground mining
operation. Based on the respective studies, both deposits have the
potential to be competitive with the lowest cost uranium mining
operations in the world. Permitting efforts for the planned Phoenix
ISR operation commenced in 2019 and have advanced significantly,
with licensing in progress and a draft Environmental Impact
Statement submitted for regulatory and public review in October
2022.
Denison's interests in Saskatchewan also include a 22.5% ownership
interest in the McClean Lake Joint Venture, which owns several
uranium deposits and the McClean Lake uranium mill, contracted to
process the ore from the Cigar Lake mine under a toll milling
agreement, plus a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Main and Midwest A
deposits and a 67.41% interest in the THT and Huskie deposits on
the Waterbury Lake property. The Midwest Main, Midwest A, THT and
Huskie deposits are located within 20 kilometres of the McClean
Lake mill.
Through its 50% ownership of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Ltd
('JCU'), Denison holds additional interests in various uranium
project joint ventures in Canada, including the Millennium project
(JCU, 30.099%), the Kiggavik project (JCU, 33.8118%) and Christie
Lake (JCU, 34.4508%).
Denison's exploration portfolio includes further interests in
properties covering approximately 285,000 hectares in the Athabasca
Basin region.
