David Cates, President and CEO of Denison commented:
“Our strategy is ambitious and involves the advancement of our flagship Wheeler River project towards development and production – intending to claim the “pole position” as the next new uranium mine to be built in Canada. The project is already the largest undeveloped uranium project in the infrastructure rich Eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin, and with the market beginning to recognize that current uranium prices are both cyclically and irrationally low, we are delighted with the prospect of being able to showcase its economic potential”
Diversified Athabasca Basin Asset Base with Superior Development Leverage
STRATEGIC PROJECT PORTFOLIO:
- 90% interest in flagship Wheeler River project – largest undeveloped uranium project in infrastructure rich eastern Athabasca Basin, with the potential to be a “top 5” producing mine
- 22.5% interest in operating McClean Lake Uranium Mill – 6M lbs U3O8 excess licensed capacity, currently producing +12% of global uranium production
- Additional leverage to the uranium price with interests in existing uranium resources at McClean Lake, Midwest, and Waterbury Lake
- ~320,000 hectares of prospective exploration ground in the Athabasca Basin
- Internal sources of cash flow from management of Uranium Participation Corp. (TSX-U), and Denison Environmental Services (DES), minimizing dilution to existing shareholders
FLAGSHIP WHEELER RIVER PROJECT:
- Largest undeveloped uranium project in infrastructure rich eastern Athabasca Basin, including an estimated 132M lbs U3O8 in Indicated resources plus 3M lbs U3O8 in Inferred resources.
- Low estimated operating costs, with lowest estimate of initial CAPEX required to build amongst Athabasca Basin development projects(1)
- Existing infrastructure supporting mining operations in proximity to Wheeler River – including 4 licensed uranium mines, 3 licensed uranium mills, and access to the provincial power grid and highway network – reduces development risk profile
(1) Ranking is based on comparison of undeveloped uranium projects (at 100% ownership) with total indicated resources greater than 40M lbs U3O8, located in the Athabasca Basin region – namely Arrow (NexGen Energy Ltd.), Triple R (Fission Uranium Corp.), Millennium (Cameco, JCU), Shea Creek (Areva, UEX Corp.), Midwest (including the Midwest and Midwest A deposits)(Areva, Denison, OURD). CAPEX estimates are per NI 43-101 technical reports. Certain projects do not have NI 43-101 estimates of upfront capital costs.
