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.
In addition to these assets, Denison is involved in several other projects through its 50% ownership of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited. These projects include the Millennium project (JCU, 30.099%), the Kiggavik project (JCU, 33.8118%), and the Christie Lake project (JCU, 34.4508%). Denison's exploration portfolio covers approximately 385,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin, making it a dominant player in this uranium-rich region.
Denison is advancing its flagship Wheeler River project with significant strides, including the completion of a feasibility study for the Phoenix deposit as an ISR mining operation and an updated pre-feasibility study for the Gryphon deposit as a conventional underground mining operation. Both deposits are poised to be among the lowest-cost uranium mining operations globally. The company has also made substantial progress in the permitting process for the Phoenix ISR operation, with a draft Environmental Impact Statement submitted and ongoing regulatory reviews.
Denison Mines is committed to sustainable development, as evidenced by its Shared Prosperity Agreement with English River First Nation and its Sustainable Communities Investment Agreement with Northern Saskatchewan municipalities. These agreements aim to support community-led initiatives and ensure long-term, positive impacts beyond the lifespan of their mining projects.

Denison Mines Corp. has announced the successful completion of the commissioning of the lixiviant injection system for the Phoenix in-situ recovery Feasibility Field Test at the Wheeler River project, in which Denison holds a 95% ownership. This crucial milestone initiates the leaching phase of the FFT, where an acidic solution will be injected to recover minerals, including uranium. The project is fully permitted and aims to verify key parameters for ISR mining success. The Wheeler River project hosts significant mineral resources, estimated at 132.1 million pounds of U3O8.
Denison Mines Corp. announced significant findings from its 2022 summer exploration program at the Waterfound River property, including drill hole WF-74A intersecting 4.75% eU3O8 over 13.3 metres. The results highlight the potential for further high-grade uranium discoveries, with WF-74A being the best mineralized hole to date. The program included seven drill holes, totaling 3,902.6 metres, with three returning notable uranium grades. Denison holds a 24.68% interest in the Waterfound JV, which is operated by Orano Canada.
Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE American: DNN) announced significant findings from their 2022 exploration drilling at the McClean Lake Joint Venture, where assays revealed substantial high-grade uranium mineralization. Notably, drill hole MCS-58 showed 2.96% U3O8 over 15.5 metres, marking a considerable expansion of the mineralized zone to approximately 180 metres. The results from both 2021 and 2022 have led to the interpretation of a new mineralized pod, suggesting promising future exploration and potential mill feed sources.
Denison Mines Corp. has submitted a new Acquisition Proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of UEX Corporation. The offer stands at 0.32 Denison shares for each UEX share, equating to an implied price of $0.51 per UEX share, a 7% and 9% premium over recent offers from Uranium Energy Corp.
