Denison Mines Corp. (TSX:DML)(NYSE MKT:DNN) (“Denison” or the “Company”) announces that, as a result of a review by the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”), the Company is issuing the following news release regarding its disclosure on the Mutanga Uranium Project. Denison has filed with the Canadian Securities regulators an updated National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) compliant technical report with respect to its Mutanga Property, entitled “Mineral Resource Estimates for the Mutanga Uranium Project, Denison Mines Corp., Zambia, Africa”, having an effective date of September 12, 2013 (the “New Mutanga Report”). The New Mutanga Report is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Company’s profile.
In the course of the OSC’s review, OSC staff advised the Company that the technical report filed by the Company on March 28, 2012 entitled “The Dibwe East Project, Southern Province, Republic of Zambia” prepared by the Company and audited by RPA Inc. with respect to mineral resources estimated for the Dibwe East project in Zambia (the “Dibwe East Report”) does not comply with NI 43-101 since the Dibwe East Report did not include all of the current mineral resource estimates and material information relevant to the Mutanga Property as a whole.
To address the OSC’s comments regarding the Dibwe East Report, the Company engaged Malcolm Titley, B.Sc. (Geology and Chemistry), MAIG of CSA Global (UK) Ltd. (CSA), who is an independent “Qualified Person” for the purposes of NI 43-101, to prepare the New Mutanga Report with respect to the Mutanga Project as a whole. The New Mutanga Report addresses the mineral resources covered by the Dibwe East Report together with the mineral resources covered by the Company’s technical report filed on March 20, 2009 entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report Mutanga Uranium Project, Zambia” with respect to the Company’s deposits on the Mutanga Property (the “Mutanga and Dibwe Report”). As a result, the New Mutanga Report supersedes and replaces the Dibwe East Report and the Mutanga and Dibwe Report.
The New Mutanga Report contains the following mineral resource estimates for the Mutanga Property:
