David Cates, President and CEO of Denison commented, "Following the completion of our Phoenix Feasibility Study ('FS') in June 2023, we embarked on an ambitious 2-year plan to advance towards a final investment decision. At the end of the second quarter of 2024, we have completed 12-months of post-FS project work and have already achieved completion of over 30% total engineering. Our rapid engineering progress is possible because we have built off of the systematic and rigorous technical evaluation and de-risking work that was incorporated into the FS. The FS already reflects the wave of significant cost inflation experienced in the mining sector from 2021 to 2023 and robust project designs that incorporated the learnings from the environmental assessment process as described in our draft Environmental Impact Statement ('EIS') submitted in 2022. Engineering and ongoing long-lead procurement efforts continue to accelerate in accordance with our project plans and guidance targeting first production by 2027 / 2028.
In parallel, we have obtained support for the project from Indigenous and non-Indigenous interested parties – reaching impact-benefit type agreements, supporting the advancement and operation of the Wheeler River project, with each of English River First Nation, Kineepik Métis Local #9, the Village of Pinehouse, and a group of interested northern municipalities (the Northern Village of Beauval, the Northern Village of Île-à-la Crosse, the Northern Hamlet of Jans Bay, and the Northern Hamlet of Cole Bay). Additionally, we have made significant progress towards the finalization of our EIS, project permitting, and licensing. Based on feedback received to date, we are optimistic that the EIS review process is nearing completion.
Ending Q2 with no debt on the balance sheet and a combination of working capital and investments valued at nearly 95% of Denison's share of the Phoenix FS initial capex means that our Company is very well funded to continue to execute on our project development plans and to deliver a new source of Canadian uranium supply to the market at a time when demand is increasing and securing sustainable and geopolitically stable supply is expected to be a priority for future utility customers.
Beyond Wheeler River, Denison continues to demonstrate its industry leadership in the assessment of the application of the low-cost ISR mining method to the high-grade uranium deposits of the Athabasca Basin. In 2024, we are carrying out field studies and evaluation programs at both the Tthe Heldeth Túé ('THT') and Midwest Main deposits. Working together with Orano Group, a global leader in the nuclear fuel cycle, we recently completed an inaugural field test of ISR mining at the Midwest Main deposit, providing important preliminary validation that the deposit possesses the characteristics necessary for an ISR operation and efforts are now focused on the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ('PEA') during the balance of the year."

About Denison
Denison Mines Corp. was formed under the laws of Ontario and is a reporting issuer in all Canadian provinces and territories. Denison's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the 'TSX') under the symbol 'DML' and on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol 'DNN'.
Denison is a uranium mining, exploration and development company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company has an effective 95% interest in its flagship Wheeler River Uranium Project, which is the largest undeveloped uranium project in the infrastructure rich eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. In mid-2023, the Phoenix FS was completed for the Phoenix deposit as an ISR mining operation, and an update to the previously prepared 2018 Pre-Feasibility Study ('PFS') was completed for Wheeler River's Gryphon deposit as a conventional underground mining operation. Based on the respective studies, both deposits have the potential to be competitive with the lowest cost uranium mining operations in the world. Permitting efforts for the planned Phoenix ISR operation commenced in 2019 and have advanced significantly, with licensing in progress and a draft Environmental Impact Study ('EIS') submitted for regulatory and public review in October 2022.
Denison's interests in Saskatchewan also include a 22.5% ownership interest in the McClean Lake Joint Venture ('MLJV'), which includes unmined uranium deposits (planned for extraction via the MLJV's SABRE mining method starting in 2025) and the McClean Lake uranium mill (currently utilizing a portion of its licensed capacity to process the ore from the Cigar Lake mine under a toll milling agreement), plus a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Joint Venture ('MWJV')'s Midwest Main and Midwest A deposits, and a 69.44% interest in the Tthe Heldeth Túé ('THT') and Huskie deposits on the Waterbury Lake Property ('Waterbury'). The Midwest Main, Midwest A, THT and Huskie deposits are located within 20 kilometres of the McClean Lake mill. Taken together, the Company has direct ownership interests in properties covering ~384,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin region.
Additionally, through its 50% ownership of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited ('JCU'), Denison holds interests in various uranium project joint ventures in Canada, including the Millennium project (JCU, 30.099%), the Kiggavik project (JCU, 33.8118%) and Christie Lake (JCU, 34.4508%).
