Denison Mines Corp. Overview
Pro stress-test →Denison is a uranium mining, development, and exploration company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

Strategic Profile

Construction is set to commence in March 2026, with production targeted for mid-2028, positioning Denison as one of the few uranium suppliers globally who will provide a sizeable new source of uranium production before the end of the decade. The Wheeler River Project is ranked as the #1 non-precious mining development project globally with base-case economics showing NPV8% of C$1.56 billion and industry-leading all-in costs of C$16.04 per pound U3O8.
Competitive Landscape
