What Denison Mines does

Develops the Wheeler River uranium deposit in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin using in-situ recovery mining.

Not yet producing from its own mines, it earns only small income from its share of the McClean Lake mill, which processes ore from others' mines. Spending goes mainly into permitting and building Wheeler River, which would be the first in-situ recovery uranium mine in the Athabasca Basin, using wells instead of conventional underground mining.

Products and services

  • Wheeler River / Phoenix ISR project
  • McClean Lake mill interest
  • Athabasca Basin exploration

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Nuclear fuel
  • Uranium exploration & development
  • In-situ recovery (ISR) project…

What could go right

  • Uranium price strength aids financing
  • First ISR uranium mine in the Basin

What could go wrong

  • Pre-revenue, financing/dilution risk
  • Permitting delays

Moat: narrow (installed base, regulatory licence). High-grade, low-cost ISR project in a top uranium jurisdiction with permitting well advanced.
