NOTES:
(1) See the Wheeler River
Technical Report titled "NI
43-101 Technical Report
on the Wheeler River
Project, Athabasca
Basin, Saskatchewan,
Canada" dated June
23, 2023.
(2) All-in cost is estimated
on a pre-tax basis and
includes all project
operating costs, capital
costs post-FID, and
decommissioning costs
divided by the estimated
number of pounds U₂Og
to be produced.
(3) NPV and IRR are
calculated based on
assessed "high-case"
uranium price, to the start
of pre-production
activities for the Gryphon
operation.
(4) Indicative post-tax
results were prepared on
a combined basis with the
Phoenix deposit for
Denison's then 90%
ownership interest, see
slide 12 for details.
