Intermediate Geologist

**OUR COMPANY**:
Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) is a uranium exploration and development company with project interests in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan and office operations based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Denison is a public company listed on the NYSE American and TSX stock exchanges, and is also engaged in mine care and maintenance for decommissioned mine sites through its Closed Mines group based in Elliot Lake, Ontario. Denison’s flagship project is the Wheeler River Uranium Project (“Wheeler River”), which 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.

Wheeler River is the largest undeveloped uranium project in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. A Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) was completed in accordance with NI 43101 in September 2018 highlighting the selection of the in-situ recovery (“ISR”) mining method for the development of the high-grade Phoenix deposit. On September 22, 2021 Denison announced the initiation of the Feasibility Study (“FS”) for the Project. 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. With the advancement of the ISR mining method, the Project has the potential to be one of the lowest-cost and most environmentally sustainable uranium mining operations in the world.

Denison's interests in the Athabasca Basin also include a 22.5% ownership interest in the McClean Lake joint venture, which includes several uranium deposits and the McClean Lake uranium mill that is contracted to process the ore from the Cigar Lake mine under a toll milling agreement, plus a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Main and Midwest A deposits, and a 67.01% interest in the Tthe Heldeth Túé ("THT," formerly J Zone) and Huskie deposits on the Waterbury Lake property. The Midwest Main, Midwest A, THT and Huskie deposits are each located within 20 kilometres of the McClean Lake mill. Denison's exploration portfolio includes further interests in properties covering ~300,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin region.
