Environment Lead
OUR COMPANY:
Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) is a public company listed on the NYSE American and TSX stock exchanges
focused on the advancement of a portfolio of uranium exploration and development project interests in the
Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. Denison is also responsible for mine care and maintenance
of its decommissioned mine sites in Elliot Lake, Ontario.
Denison’s flagship project is the Wheeler River Uranium Project (the “Project”), which is the largest undeveloped
uranium mining project in the infrastructure-rich eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern
Saskatchewan. The Project is located approximately 35 km north-northeast of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation
and 35 km southwest of Cameco’s McArthur River Operation in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin. The
Project is accessible by vehicle and is located about 5 km west of Highway 914.
In August 2023, Denison filed (i) the Feasibility Study ("Phoenix FS") completed for In-Situ Recovery ("ISR")
mining of the high-grade Phoenix uranium deposit ("Phoenix") and (ii) a cost update to the 2018 Pre-Feasibility
Study for conventional underground mining of the basement-hosted Gryphon uranium deposit ("Gryphon"). With
the successful completion of the Phoenix FS, Denison has advanced the planned Phoenix ISR project through
the technical de-risking process and has already commenced the first phases of project execution. Concurrently,
Denison is also advancing the environmental assessment (“EA”) process, which is a critical step to securing the
approvals necessary to develop and operate a mine in Canada.
The planned Phoenix ISR operation is on track to become the first ISR uranium mining operation in Canada and
has the potential to be one of the lowest-cost and most environmentally sustainable uranium mining operations
in the world.
Denison is building the Wheeler Project development team and is looking to attract top candidates who want to
be a part of our ambitious development story.
