TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2013) - Denison Mines Corp. (TSX:DML)(NYSE MKT:DNN)(NYSE Amex:DNN) ("Denison") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced acquisition of the outstanding common shares of JNR Resources Inc. ("JNR"). The transaction was completed pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), which was approved by the British Columbia Supreme Court yesterday. Securityholders of JNR approved the Arrangement on January 28, 2013. All conditions of closing have now been satisfied by both parties.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, the former shareholders of JNR will receive, for each JNR common share held, 0.073 of a Denison common share (the "Exchange Ratio"). All of the outstanding options and common share purchase warrants of JNR are exchanged for options and warrants to purchase common shares of Denison and are exercisable to acquire that number of common shares of Denison and at an exercise price determined by reference to the Exchange Ratio.

With the completion of the Arrangement, JNR common shares have now ceased trading on the TSX Venture Exchange and are expected to cease to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange shortly. JNR will also apply to cease to be a reporting issuer under the securities laws of British Columbia and Alberta.

For shareholders and warrantholders who held their JNR shares or warrants through a broker, the issuance of Denison common shares in exchange for JNR common shares and Denison warrants in exchange for JNR warrants will be processed through their broker. Registered shareholders and warrantholders of JNR must deposit their JNR common share or warrant certificates with Computershare Investor Services Inc., as depository, with a validly completed letter of transmittal, in order to receive their Denison common shares and replacement Denison warrants. A letter of transmittal was mailed to registered shareholders and warrantholders in early January 2013. Details of the required process are set forth in JNR's management information circular dated December 17, 2012, a copy of which is available under JNR's profile at www.sedar.com and in Denison's registration statement on Form-80 (File No. 333-185906) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
