Mr. Bronkhorst is a seasoned mining executive with over 35 years of experience in base metals, gold, and
uranium mining. Most recently he held the position of Vice President, Mining, Projects and Technology at

General Manager of the McArthur River Operation. Mr. Bronkhorst is a past Director of the Saskatchewan
Mining Association and is actively engaged with the In ternational Atomic Energy Agency (“IAEA”), having
participated in past IAEA missions related to best practices for extraction of underground uranium deposits,
and as Lead Presenter & Subject Matter Expert for the upcoming 2019 IAEA mission for the inter-regional
workshop “Case Study of Conventional Uranium Production – from Exploration to Closure”.
David Cates, President and CEO of Denison, commented “We are pleased to have Dave join the
Denison leadership team. There are few people in the uranium mining business with the senior
level technical and team leadership expertise that Dave has amassed over his 35-year career. As
our Company matures, Dave’s knowledge and practical experience will undoubtedly add great value
to our flagship Wheeler River project, as well as our existing mining / milling interests. Dave has a
passion for innovation, results, mentoring, and dr iving change – characteristics that fit well with
our Company’s culture and strategy.”
David Bronkhorst, Denison’s Vice President Operations, commented “I have been following the progress
of Denison’s Wheeler River project for several year s, from my time at Cameco as a joint venture
partner. I have always been impressed by the professionalism of Denison and the capabilities of
their technical team, despite their relatively sma ll size compared to Cameco. It’s with great
excitement that I have accepted the opportunity to now lead Denison’s operations team, as we build
on years of innovative thinking at Wheeler River to transform the landscape of uranium mining in
the Athabasca Basin – advancing to ward a Feasibility Study for the development of the Phoenix
deposit as the first ISR uranium mining operation in Canada.”
In addition to providing executive level leadership fo r the advancement of Wheeler River, Mr. Bronkhorst
will be responsible for oversight of Denison’s non-operated mining / development joint venture interests –
including Denison’s 22.5% owned McClean Lake uranium processing plant, and the 25.17% owned
