Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE American: DNN; TSX: DML) is a leading uranium exploration and development company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Operating primarily in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Denison's key focus is on discovering and developing high-grade uranium deposits. Their flagship project, Wheeler River, is the largest undeveloped uranium project in the eastern part of the Athabasca Basin and includes the high-grade Phoenix and Gryphon deposits. Denison holds a 95% effective interest in this project.
Denison also has substantial ownership interests in several other significant uranium projects. This includes a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake Joint Venture, which operates the McClean Lake uranium mill, and various uranium deposits. The McClean Lake mill is currently processing ore from the Cigar Lake mine under a toll milling agreement. Moreover, Denison holds a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Main and Midwest A deposits and a 69.35% interest in the Tthe Heldeth Túé (THT) and Huskie deposits on the Waterbury Lake property.
