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.

Orano Canada and Denison Mines have successfully completed a five-year test mining program using the patented SABRE method at McClean Lake. Four mining cavities produced approximately 1,500 tonnes of high-grade uranium ore (4%-11% U3O8) without any safety or environmental incidents. The ore will be processed by the end of the year. The results confirm SABRE's capability for mining high-grade uranium, paving the way for future applications in the McClean Lake and Midwest properties as the partners explore its potential in improving uranium markets.
