PRESS RELEASE
DENISON REPORTS RESULTS FROM Q3 2018
Toronto, ON – November 12, 2018. Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison” or the “Company”) (DML: TSX, DNN: NYSE
American) filed its Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) for the
quarter ended September 30, 2018 . Both documents can be found on the Company’s website at
www.denisonmines.com or on SEDAR (at www.sedar.com) and EDGAR (at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml). The highlights
provided below are derived from these documents and should be read in conjunction with them. All amounts in this
release are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
David Cates, President and CEO of Denison commented , “The Company’s activities during the third quarter of 2018
have served to remind investors why Denison is such a unique uranium investment case. Developments from the
quarter were highlighted by exceptional results from the completion of the Wheeler River PFS, including an estimated
operating cost of US$3.33/lb U3O8 from the high-grade Phoenix deposit – representing nearly a 90% operating margin
at the current spot price of uranium. The PFS also features comparatively very low initial capital costs, for an Athabasca
Basin development project, with only ~$290 million attributable to Denison’s recently consolidated 90% interest in the
project. In addition to the results from the Wheeler River PFS, the Company also delive red exciting results on the
exploration side – discovering a new area of uranium and base metals mineralization on the K West trend on the
Wheeler River property (approximately 500 metres west of the parallel K North trend, which hosts the Gryphon deposit),
and a new area of uranium mineralization on the Waterbury Lake property, at the interpreted intersection of the GB
trend and the Midwest regional structure.
As the uranium market continues to recover, Denison intends to continue to position itself as a ‘must own’ stock, offering
investors a unique combination of exposure to both the future development of Wheeler River, an exceptionally low-cost
and large -scale uranium mining operation, and discovery success across a diverse portfolio of highly prospect ive
exploration properties.”
PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
▪ Wheeler River Pre-Feasibility Study (‘PFS’) returns project level pre-tax NPV of $1.31 billion and IRR of 38.7%
On September 24, 2018, Denison released the results of the PFS for its flagship Wheeler River uranium project
(‘Wheeler River’) in northern Saskatchewan. The PFS has been completed in accordance with NI 43 -101 and is
highlighted by the selection of the in-situ recovery (‘ISR’) mining method for the development of the Phoenix deposit,
with an estimated average operating cost of $4.33 (US$3.33) per pound U 3O8. The project, on a 100% basis, is
estimated to have mine production of 109.4 million pounds U 3O8 over a 14-year mine life, with a base case pre -tax
Net Present Value (‘NPV’) of $1.31 billion (8% discount rate), Internal Rate of Return (‘IRR’) of 38.7%, and initial pre-
production capital expenditures of $322.5 million. The complete technical report, supporting the disclosure of the
PFS results on September 24, 2018, was made available on Denison’s website as well as SEDAR and EDGAR on
October 30, 2018.
▪ Acquisition of additional Wheeler River ownership interest
On October 29, 2018, Denison announced that it completed a transaction with Cameco Corporation (‘Cameco’) to
increase its ownersh ip interest in the Wheeler River Joint Venture (‘WRJV’) to 90%. Denison acquired Cameco's
approximately 24% interest in the project in exchange for the issuance of 24,615,000 common shares of Denison.
▪ Discovery of unconformity uranium and base metals on the K West trend at Wheeler River
Highlights from the Company’s summer 2018 diamond drilling program at Wheeler River include the discovery of
unconformity-hosted mineralization on the K West trend, including 0.30% U 3O8, 4.7% Co, 3.7% Ni and 0.55% Cu
from 651.1 to 652.1 metres in drill hole WR -733D1 and 1.2% Cu and 0.49% Ni from 636.6 to 642.6 m etres in drill
hole WR-733D2. The K West trend is a priority target area located approximately 500 metres west of the parallel K
North trend, which hosts the Gryphon deposit. The results are associated with significant structure and alteration in
the overlying sandstone, as well as elevated uranium values (averaging 17 ppm uranium) extending up to 100 metres
above the unconformity. The results are encouraging and fu rther drill testing is warranted to the south, where up to
five kilometres of strike length remains untested along the K West trend.
2
▪ Exploration success at Waterbury Lake with the discovery of uranium mineralization on the GB Trend
On September 17, 2018, Denison reported the discovery of uranium mineralization on the Company’s 65.92% owned
Waterbury Lake project. Basement-hosted uranium mineralization was intersected in two drill holes on the GB trend,
approximately three kilometres northeast of the project’s Huskie zone, including mineralized assay intervals of 0.43%
U3O8 over 1.0 metre (including 0.73% U3O8 over 0.5 metre) in drill hole WAT18-478 and 0.45% U3O8 over 0.5 metre,
as well as 0.31% U3O8 over 0.5 metre and 0.20% U3O8 over 0.5 metre in drill hole WAT18-479. The results validate
the Company’s geological concept that uranium mineralization occurs at the intersection of the interpreted regional
Midwest structure with cross-cutting, graphite-bearing, structural corridors on the Waterbury Lake project.
▪ Maiden mineral resource estimate completed for the Huskie deposit at Waterbury Lake
Denison completed a maiden mineral resource estimate for the Huskie basement -hosted uranium deposit in
accordance with NI 43 -101 and CIM Definitions (2014), which was reviewed and audited by SRK Consulting
(Canada) Inc. (‘SRK’). Since its discovery in 2017 , Denison has completed 28 drill holes at Huskie at a spacing of
approximately 50 metres x 50 metres to define the deposit over a strike length of approximately 210 metres and dip
length of up to 215 metres. The deposit has been interpreted to include three parallel, stacked lenses of mineralization
(Huskie 1, Huskie 2 and Huskie 3) which vary in true thickness between approximately 1 and 7 metres. The result of
the 2017 and 2018 drilling campaigns at Huskie is an inferred mineral resource estimate of 5.7 m illion pounds of
U3O8 (above a cut-off grade of 0.1% U3O8) based on 268 thousand tonnes of mineralization at an average grade of
0.96% U3O8. The effective date of the resource estimate is October 17, 2018.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses in the Canadian mining segment include depreciation, mining and other development costs, as
well as adjustments, where applicable, to the estimates of future reclamation costs in relation to the companies mining
properties. O perating expenses during Q3 2018 were $2,141,000, including $529,000 of depreciation from the
McClean Lake mill, which is associated with the processing and packaging of U3O8 for the CLJV. Operating expenses
include development and other operating costs related to the McClean Lake Joint Venture (‘ MLJV’) of $1,610,000.
These costs predominantly relate to the advancement of the Surface Access Borehole Resource Extraction (‘SABRE’)
mining technology, as part of a multi-year test mining program operated by Orano Canada within the MLJV. During the
current quarter, drilling and casing of four access holes was successfully completed into the McClean North deposit .
The holes were drilled from surface to the top of the orebody and will allow for mining of the orebody beneath the holes
during the latter stages of the test mining program. All holes were within the specifications required in terms of deviation,
size and depth.
Operating expenses at DES during Q3 2018 totaled $2,051,000 and relate primarily to care and maintenance , and
environmental consulting services provided to clients, and includes labour and other costs.
Exploration and evaluation
During Q3 2018, the Company continued to f ocus on its highest priority projects in the Athabasca Basin region in
Saskatchewan. Denison’s share of exploration and evaluation expenditures in the quarter was $3,894,000. The
Company’s Athabasca land package decreased during the third quarter from 356,713 hectares (305 claims) to 320,166
hectares (292 claims), primarily due to Skyharbour Resources Ltd. completing its option to acquire 100% of the Moore
Lake project, which accounted for 35,705 hectares (12 claims).
Wheeler River
Project Highlights:
▪ PFS results produce a pre-tax NPV of 2.75 times the 2016 preliminary economic analysis (‘2016 PEA’)
On September 24, 2018, the Company announced the results of the PFS for Wheeler River. On October 30, 2018,
Denison filed the technical report for the PFS titled ‘Pre-feasibility Study Report for the Wheeler River Uranium Project,
Saskatchewan, Canada’ prepared by Mark Liskowich, P.Geo. of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. with an effective date
of September 24, 2018 (the “PFS Technical Report”).
The PFS was completed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and is highlighted by the selection of the ISR
mining method for the development of the Phoenix deposit, with an estimated average operating cost of $4.33
(US$3.33) per pound U3O8.
The PFS considers the potential economic merit of co-developing the Phoenix and Gryphon deposits. The high-grade
Phoenix deposit is designed as an ISR mining operation, with associated processing to a finished product occurring at
a plant to be built on site at Wheeler River. The Gryphon deposit is designed as an underground mining operation,
utilizing a conventional long h ole mining approach with processing of mine production assumed at Denison’s 22.5%
owned McClean Lake mill. Taken together, the project is estimated to have mine production of 109.4 million pounds
U3O8 over a 14 -year mine life, with a base case pre -tax NPV of $1.31 billion (8% discount rate), IRR of 38.7%, and
initial pre-production capital expenditures of $322.5 million.
The base-case economic analysis assumes uranium sales are made at UxC Consulting Company, LLC’s (‘UxC’) annual
estimated spot price (composite mid-point scenario in constant dollars) for mine production from the Phoenix deposit
(from ~US$29/lb U 3O8 to US$45/lb U 3O8), and a fixed price for mine production from the Gryphon deposit (US$50/lb
U3O8).
Using the same price assumed for the project’s 2016 PEA, a fixed uranium price of US$44/lb U3O8, the PFS produces
a combined pre-tax project NPV of $1.41 billion – representing roughly 2.75 times the $513 million pre-tax project NPV
estimated in the 2016 PEA.
The PFS was prepared on a projec t (100% ownership) and pre -tax basis. Denison completed an indicative post -tax
assessment based on a 90% ownership interest, yielding a base case post-tax NPV of $755.9 million and post-tax IRR
of 32.7%, with initial capital costs to Denison of $290.3 million.
▪ The largest undeveloped uranium project in the eastern Athabasca Basin
With the completion of the PFS and in accordance with NI 43-101 standards, the Company has declared the following
mineral reserves and resources (see the PFS Technical Report for further details).
4
Probable Mineral Reserves of 109.4 million pounds U 3O8 (Phoenix 59.7 million pounds U 3O8 from 141,000
tonnes at 19.1% U3O8; Gryphon 49.7 million pounds U3O8 from 1,257,000 tonnes at 1.8% U3O8);
Indicated Mineral Resources (inclusive of Reserves) of 132.1 million pounds U 3O8 (1,809,000 tonnes at an
average grade of 3.3% U3O8); plus
Inferred Mineral Resources of 3.0 million pounds U3O8 (82,000 tonnes at an average grade of 1.7% U3O8).
▪ Potential for resource growth
Very little regional exploration has taken place on the property in recent years, with drilling efforts focussed on Phoenix
and Gryphon, which were discovered in 2008 and 2014 respectively. The property is host to numerous uranium-bearing
lithostructural corridors whi ch are under - or unexplored and have the potential for additional large, high -grade
unconformity or basement hosted deposits. Exploration drilling is warranted along these corridors to follow -up on
previous mineralized drill results, or to test geophysical targets identified from past surveys.
Evaluation Program:
During Q3 2018, Denison’s share of evaluation costs at Wheeler River amounted to $797 ,000, which related to
completion of the PFS and continued environmental and sustainability activities.
During Q3 2018, the Company continued with the community consultation and engagement process as well as
environmental baseline data collection activities. Additional environmental baseline data is being collected in key areas
to better characterize the existing environment in the project area. This data will form the foundation of the
environmental impact assessment for the project. The information will also be used in the design of various aspects of
the project, including the location and layout of site infrastructure, the location for treated effluent discharge and fresh
water intake, and the designs of water treatment plants, waste storage facilities, and other infrastructure interacting
with the environment. Programs in progress and/or completed during the quarter included a range of studies related to
the aquatic environment, terrestrial environment, atmospheric environment, and waste rock geochemistry.
Exploration Program:
Denison’s share of exploration cost s at Wheeler River amo unted to $2,058 ,000 during Q3 2018. The summer 2018
diamond drilling program for Wheeler River commenced in early June 2018 and was completed in late August 2018.
The program included 18,402 metres in 31 drill holes and was largely focused on testing regional target areas (outside
of the immediate Gryphon and Phoenix deposit areas) across the Wheeler River property.
K West
The summer 2018 drilling program, which included 3,222 metres in 5 drill holes in this area, was designed to test the
K West fault zone at the sub-Athabasca unconformity on the northern portion of the trend. Highlight results include the
intersection of uranium and base -metal mineralization at the unconformity, including 0.30% U3O8, 4.7% Co, 3.7% Ni
and 0.55% Cu from 651.1 to 652.1 metres in drill hole WR-733D1, and 1.2% Cu and 0.49% Ni from 636.6 to 642.6 m
in drill hole WR-733D2. The results are associated with significant structure and alteration in the overlying sandstone,
as well as elevated uranium values, averaging 17 ppm uranium, extending up to 100 metres above the unconformity.
Further drilling is warranted to test this target horizon to the south, where up to five kilometres of strike length remains
untested along the K West trend. Refer to the MD&A for further information.
K North
The summer 2018 program, which included 3,003 metres in five drill holes in this area, was designed to extend the
unconformity mineralization, identified during the winter 2018 drill program, on section and along strike on 200 metre -
spaced drill fences. Mineralization was intersected 600 metres northeast of Gryphon including 0.15% U 3O8 over 1.0
metre in drill hole WR -704D1. Further potential for mineralization exists, both at the unconformity and within the
basement, between the 200 metre-spaced drill fences.
Q Central, Q South, K South
Regional exploration drilling was undertaken at Q Central (2,547 metre s in five drill holes), Q South (3, 306 metres in
six drill holes) and at K South (2, 370 metres in four drill holes) to test geological and geophysical targets on a
reconnaissance scale. Favourable geology, structure, alteration and anomalous geochemistry was encountered in all
the target areas and follow-up will be planned based on a more detailed assessment of geochemical, spectral clay and
structural data.
5
Gryphon Unconformity
A total of 3,954 metres of exploration drilling in six drill holes was completed to test unconformity targets to the
southwest and northeast of the Gryphon deposit. To the southwest of Gryphon , five holes were completed to test for
unconformity mineralization along the Basal Fault at the up plunge projection of the D series lenses. Results included
the intersection of mineralization, in drill hole WR -722D1 (0.13 % U3O8 over 1.5 metres), immediat ely below the
unconformity. The continuity of significant sandstone structure and strong hydrothermal alteration over the 500 metres
of strike length tested suggests further potential for unconformity mineralization associated with the Basal Fault. This
target horizon is wide-open to the southwest and a priority target exists a further 400 metres to the southwest where
previous drilling returned weak basement mineralization along the Basal Fault and 4.5% U3O8 over 4.5 metres (drill
hole WR-597) at the intersection of the unconformity with the G-Fault.
Exploration Pipeline Properties
While spending on exploration pipeline projects has been reduced from prior year levels, exploration activities continue
to deliver encouraging results generally warranting follow-up.
During the 2018 summer season, Denison carried out exploration programs at Waterbury Lake, Hook-Carter and South
Dufferin. Results from the Hook-Carter and South Dufferin drilling programs were reported with the Company’s financial
results for the second quarter of 2018.
The summer/fall program at Waterbury Lake included a diamond drilling program and a DCIP resistivity survey – with
the highlight being the discovery of new uranium mineralization at the interpreted intersection of the GB trend with the
regional Midwest structure, roughly 3 kilometres to the northeast of the Huskie deposit. Mineralized assay results from
the GB trend discovery included intervals of 0.43% U3O8 over 1.0 metre (including 0.73% U3O8 over 0.5 metre) in drill
hole WAT18-478 and 0.45% U 3O8 over 0.5 metre , as well as 0.31% U 3O8 over 0.5 metre and 0.20% U 3O8 over 0.5
metre in drill hole WAT18 -479. The results vali date the Company’s geological concept that uranium mineralization
occurs at the intersection of the interpreted regional Midwest structure with cross -cutting, graphite-bearing, structural
corridors on the Waterbury Lake project.
In addition, a maiden mine ral resource estimate for the Huskie deposit, located on the Waterbury Lake project, was
completed with an effective date of October 17, 2018 . Refer to Denison’s MD&A filed on November 9, 2018 for more
details.
At McClean Lake, a DCIP resistivity surveyin g was completed by Orano Canada, and a diamond drilling program
commenced in early October 2018.
General and administrative expenses
Total general and administrative expenses were $1,657,000 during Q3 2018. These costs are mainly comprised of
head office salaries and benefits, office costs in multiple locations, audit and regulatory costs, legal fees, investor
relations expenses, project costs, and all other costs related to operating a public company with listings in Canada and
the United States, as well as non-recurring project or legal costs.
Other income and expenses
During Q3 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $664 ,000 in other income . The gain is predominantly due to net
gains on investments carried at fair value.
Equity share of income from associates
During Q3 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $639,000 from its 16.49% equity share of its associat e GoviEx
Uranium Inc. (‘GoviEx’), owing largely to an equity gain based on the Company’s share of GoviEx’s net gain during the
period as well as a dilution gain as a result of other shareholders’ exercise of GoviEx share warrants.
Liquidity and capital resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $21,470,000 at September 30, 2018.
On November 2, 2018, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald Canada
Corporation, as a sole bookrunner and lead underwriter, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (together, the
‘Underwriters’), under which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a ‘bought deal ’ private placement basis,
4,950,495 common shares on a flow-through basis (the ‘Flow-Through Shares’) at a price of $1.01 per share for total
gross proceeds of approximately $5,000,00. The Company also granted the Underwriters an option to increase the
6
gross proceeds of the Offering by up to 10% (the ‘Underwriters’ Option’), exercisable in whole or in part at any time up
to two business days prior to the closing date, which is expected to occur on or about November 23, 2018.
Outlook for 2018
Refer to the Company’s annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a detailed discussion of the previously
disclosed 2018 budget.
During the current quarter, the Company has decreased its 2018 outlook for development and operations expense by
$600,000, primarily because of a reduction in planned MLJV expenditures related to the advancement of the SABRE
mining method. The Company also increased its 2018 outlook for management services fees from UPC by $ 100,000,
primarily due to an increase in estim ated NAV-based management fees in order to reflect increased uranium spot
prices.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources
and Probable Mineral Reserves : This news release may use the terms ‘measured’, ‘indicated’ and ‘inferred’ mineral r esources.
United States investors are advised that while such terms have been prepared in accordance with the definition standards on mineral
reserves of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in Canadian National Instrument 43 -101 Mineral
Disclosure Standards (“NI 43 -101”) and are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) does not recognize them. ‘Inferred mineral resources’ have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will
ever be upgraded to a higher category . Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of
feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or
indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to
assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable . The estimates of
mineral reserves in this press release have been prepared in accordance with 43 -101. The definition of probable mineral reserves
used in NI 43 -101 differs from the definition used by the SEC in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7. Under the requirements of the SEC,
mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination h as been made , pursuant to a “ final" or "bankable"
feasibility study that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination
is made. Accordingly, Denison’s probable mineral reserves disclosure may not be comparable to information from U.S. companies
subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
