PRESS RELEASE
 
DENISON RECEIVES $20.45 MILLION FROM UEX
TO SETTLE LOAN FROM JCU TRANSACTION
 
Toronto, ON – Sept 17, 2021. Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison” or the “Company”) (TSX: DML, NYSE American: DNN) is pleased to announce that UEX Corporation (“UEX”) has repaid the interest-free 90-day term loan provided to UEX by Denison in connection with UEX’s purchase of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited (“JCU”) (the “Term Loan”, see Denison news release from August 3, 2021). On the transfer of 50% of the shares in JCU from UEX to Denison, completed on August 3, 2021, $20.5 million of the amount drawn under the Term Loan was deemed repaid by UEX. The balance of the Term Loan, of $20.45 million, was repaid in cash by UEX today.
 
David Cates, President and CEO of Denison, commented, “Denison congratulates UEX on their recent financing and repayment of the Term Loan. We are looking forward to working with UEX on Denison’s flagship Wheeler River project and the various other projects that make up JCU’s unique and valuable portfolio of strategic Canadian uranium interests.”
 
In connection with the repayment Denison has agreed to release its security for the Term Loan, including the pledge of all of the shares of JCU owned by UEX.
