PRESS RELEASE
DENISON RECEIVES PERMITS FOR TONY M MINE IN U.S.
Toronto, ON – September 10, 2007... Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison” or the “Company”) (DML:TSX, DNN: AMEX) is pleased to announce that it has received all of the necessary operating permits from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the State of Utah for the Company’s Tony M mine located within the Henry Mountains Complex west of the Company’s White Mesa conventional uranium mill.
Rehabilitation of the mine has been underway under an exploration permit since May of this year. These efforts have enabled the Company to begin mining upon receipt of the operating permits. Contract mining of the deposit has been awarded to Dynatec Corporation of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Henry Mountains is one of several uranium mining properties the Company holds in the U.S. This long life mining operation comprises the Tony M and Bullfrog deposits. The Tony M deposit area with its full mine infrastructure will facilitate access to the nearby undeveloped Bullfrog resources. The Tony M deposit has historical indicated ore resources of 1.28 million tons grading 0.21% eU3O8 totaling 5.3 million lbs U3O8 (see Press Release dated October 16, 2006 at www.sedar.com). Ore produced from the Henry Mountains Complex will be processed at the Company’s 100% owned White Mesa Mill.
Upon reaching full production by mid-2008, the Tony M mine is anticipated to produce 18,000 tons of ore per month. Mining is also underway at four of the Company’s uranium mines in the Colorado Plateau District producing over 10,000 tons of ore per month. Currently, the ore is being stockpiled at the White Mesa Mill. Processing is scheduled to commence in early 2008.
In addition to ore production from the Henry Mountains and Colorado Plateau districts, Denison is anticipating ore production from its Arizona 1 mine on the Arizona Strip in north-eastern Arizona to begin in mid-2008.
Annual production from Denison’s U.S. operations is expected to be approximately 2.9 million lbs U3O8 and 4.0 million lbs of vanadium in 2008. Total production from the Company’s U.S. and Canadian operations are anticipated to exceed 5.0 million lbs. by 2011.
Denison Mines Corp. is a premier intermediate uranium producer in North America, with mining assets in the Athabasca Basin Region of Saskatchewan, Canada and the southwest United States including Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Further, the Company has ownership interests in two of the four uranium mills operating in North America today.  The Company also has a strong exploration portfolio with large land positions in the United States, Canada and Mongolia. Correspondingly, the Company has one of the largest uranium exploration teams among intermediate uranium companies.

PRESS RELEASE
DENISON UPDATES ATHABASCA BASIN EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Toronto, ON – October 04, 2007... Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison” or the “Company”) (DML:TSX, DNN: AMEX) is pleased to provide an update on its summer exploration activities in the Athabasca Basin.
Denison has an active interest in a total of 35 projects in the Athabasca Basin and is the operator of 23 of these projects. Drilling is currently being carried out on five properties with twenty-five holes totalling 8,500 metres completed to date. Approximately 4,000 line kilometres of AEROTEM survey, 200 line kilometres of TITAN DC Resistivity survey, 180 line kilometres of boulder surveys and 354 lake sediment samples have also been carried out.
Drilling at the AREVA Resources Canada Inc. (“ARC”) operated Mae Zone on the Midwest lease recommenced in early September, 2007 with 3,000 metres of drilling planned for this promising area. Five holes have been completed to date. The second hole, MW-753, testing the west extension of the Mae discovery, successfully confirmed a new, sandstone-hosted mineralized zone. As reported by ARC, four zones of low-grade mineralization, based on a cut-off grade of 0.1% eU, were intersected as follows:
                         
                    Grade
From   To   Length   (%eU) at a 0.1% eU cutoff
184.9
    188.6       3.7       0.34  
196.9
    200.3       3.4       0.76  
202.9
    210.8       7.9       0.60  
218.0
    224.3       6.3       0.33  
In addition, drill hole MW-755 was drilled 25 metres south west from MW-753, representing the furthest west section to date, and intersected 21.9 metres of 2.71% eU (or 3.20 % eU3O8). This mineralization potentially indicates a new high-grade zone which is currently open to the southwest.
                         
                    Grade
From   To   Length   (%eU) at a 0.1% eU cutoff
197.0
    218.9       21.9       2.71  

 


 

At the Murphy Lake joint venture with Santoy Resources Ltd. (“Santoy”), three drill holes were completed totalling 1,152 metres. ML-07-01 displayed weak silicification throughout the sandstone and weak pyrite from 265 metres to holes end at 334 metres. Elevated radioactivity was intersected at 226 metres. Three holes totalling 856 metres were also completed at the Hatchet Lake joint venture with Santoy and evaluation of the results is continuing.
Two holes totalling 993 metres were drilled this summer on Denison’s Park Creek option with Cameco Corporation. The holes were targeted to follow up a previously unknown structure intersected in 2006. The second hole successfully intersected this structure. This new structure is considered significant as a potential new target on the property.
At Wheeler River, a joint venture with Cameco and JCU Exploration (Canada) Limited, 2,329 metres have been drilled in six holes to date. Evaluation of the drill program results is ongoing and drilling will continue until early October. A TITAN Resistivity survey was also completed on the M Zone and in the K Zone area.
Three holes, totalling 1,048 metres were drilled on the Crawford Lake and Brown Lake properties, on which Denison is earning a 75% interest from Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. These holes were a follow up to a historical showing discovered in 1979 having an intersection of 1.42% U3O8 over 1.0 metre. The holes, although un-mineralized, intersected favourable alteration and structure suggesting proximity to mineralization.
Denison has identified a new target at the Kirsch Lake property, where Denison is earning a 51% interest from Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. A single hole was drilled to a depth of 811 metres on an untested geophysical anomaly. The hole intersected favourable graphitic pelites at a depth shallower than expected. Expanded geophysical surveys are proposed before further drilling can be undertaken.
Drilling is also underway on several of the Company’s properties with JNR Resources Inc. (“JNR”). Two holes totalling 906 metres have been drilled at Bell Lake and a third hole is planned for completion prior to freeze up. Drilling has recently commenced at the JNR-operated Pendleton Lake project, and mobilization is underway at Moore Lake for a 2,000 metre program to test geological and TITAN Resistivity targets in the Maverick area.
One drill is presently working on our wholly owned Stevenson River project. Seven holes totalling 1,000 metres are proposed on geophysical targets in this area of shallow Athabasca cover. Three holes totaling 462 metres have been completed to date.
The grades reported herein are equivalent U or U3O8 grades based on down hole radiometric probing at a cut-off grade of 0.1% eU as reported by ARC; geochemical corroborative assay results have not been completed at this time. All intersections and geological interpretations are based on diamond drill core only and mineralized intervals may not represent true thickness. For a description of the quality assurance program and quality control measures applied by both ARC and Denison during the above described work, please see Denison’s Annual Information Form filed under the Company’s profile on March 30, 2007 on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
The technical information contained in this press release relating to the above described exploration activities is reported and verified by William C. Kerr, Denison’s Vice-President, Exploration, who is a “qualified person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101.
Denison Mines Corp. is a premier intermediate uranium producer in North America, with mining assets in the Athabasca Basin Region of Saskatchewan, Canada and the southwest United States including Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Further, the Company has ownership interests in two of the four uranium mills operating in North America today.  The Company also has a strong exploration and development portfolio with large land positions in the United States, Canada, Zambia and Mongolia. Correspondingly, the Company has one of the largest uranium exploration teams among intermediate uranium companies.

PRESS RELEASE   Trading symbols: DML-T, DNN-A
DENISON MINES CORP. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
Toronto, ON – November 8, 2007... Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison” or the “Company”) (DML: TSX, DNN: AMEX) today reported its financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007. All amounts in this release are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. For a more detailed discussion of our financial results, see management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) following this release.
Consolidated Results
Consolidated net loss was $11,721,000 or $0.06 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared with a consolidated net loss of $6,368,000 or $0.07 per share for the same period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s consolidated net income was $23,702,000 ($0.13 per share) compared with a consolidated net loss of $11,728,000 ($0.13 per share) for the same period in 2006.
Net cash used in operations was $9,139,000 and $14,044,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively compared with $5,357,000 and $13,855,000 for the same periods in 2006.
Revenue was $9,411,000 and $39,939,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with $1,000 and $669,000 for the same periods in 2006.
The Company expenses exploration expenditures on mineral properties not sufficiently advanced to identify their development potential. Exploration expenditures expensed totalled $8,385,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $16,914,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $3,950,000 and $9,266,000 for the same periods in 2006.
Significant events in the third quarter include:
  Ø   Denison sold 85,000 pounds U3O8 during the quarter at an average price of $85.41 per pound from its Canadian production under the existing long-term contract. Given the market conditions in the quarter, there were no sales from US production.
 
  Ø   Spot prices for U3O8 decreased from $136.00 per pound at June 30, 2007 to $75.00 per pound at October 1, 2007 as quoted by Ux Consulting, and increased to $90.00 per pound at November 6, 2007. The long-term price for U3O8 has remained at $95.00 per pound throughout the quarter.
 
  Ø   Denison completed the acquisition of OmegaCorp Limited.
 
  Ø   Denison received all of the necessary operating permits from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the State of Utah for the Company’s Tony M mine located within the Henry Mountains Complex west of the Company’s White Mesa conventional uranium mill.
 
  Ø   Denison entered into an agreement to sell 250,000 pounds U3O8 for delivery in early December at a price equal to 96.6% of the average quoted spot price at the end of November.


 

Revenue
Uranium sales revenue for the third quarter totaled $7,396,000 from the sale of 85,000 pounds of U3O8 from Canadian production at the McClean Lake joint venture at an average price of $85.41. There were no sales of U.S. production in the quarter. Revenue also includes the amortization of the fair value increment on sales contracts from the acquisition of Denison Mines Inc. in the amount of $503,000 in the quarter.
Denison markets its uranium from the McClean Lake joint venture jointly with AREVA Resources Canada Inc. (“ARC”). Generally, sales are made under several long-term contracts with nuclear utilities with a variety of pricing mechanisms. Denison’s share of current contracted sales volumes for Canadian production is set out in the table below:
Current Contracted Sales Volumes for Canadian Production (Note 1)
(pounds U3O8 x 1000)

Legacy Market Related
    0       140       210       0     96% of Spot
 
1. Assumes customers take maximum quantities permitted by contract
Agreements with AREVA call for production to be allocated first to the market related contracts with any surplus to be apportioned over the legacy contracts. The legacy base-escalated contracts have pricing formulas that result in sales prices well below current market prices.
New contracts for sales of the Company’s U.S. uranium inventory and production are expected to be under market related contracts. One such contract was entered into with AREVA in March 2007 for the sale of 17% of the White Mesa mill production commencing in 2008 up to a maximum of 6.5 million pounds with a minimum of 2.5 million pounds by the end of 2011. The sales price is 95% of the published long-term price for the month prior to delivery with a floor price of $45.00. No other long-term sales contracts for our U.S. production are in place at this time.
The Company has entered into an agreement to sell 250,000 pounds of U3O8 for delivery in early December, 2007 at a price equal to 96.6% of the average of the last spot price published by Ux Consulting LLC and Trade Tech LLC in November 2007. It is expected that Denison will also sell 140,000 pounds U3O8 from Canadian production at a price of 80-85% of average spot price for the quarter. As a result, revenue from U3O8 sales should approximate $32 million in the fourth quarter, assuming a U3O8 spot price of $90.00 and that the McClean production target (which is currently ahead of schedule) is met.
During the quarter, the White Mesa mill completed a processing campaign of alternate feed materials on which a processing fee is paid. Processing revenue for the quarter was $68,000 and for the nine months totaled $2,479,000 (2006:$668,000). At September 30, 2007, approximately 10,000 tons of these types of alternate feed materials remained in stockpile.
At September 30, 2007, the Company held approximately 320,000 pounds of uranium produced from alternate feed with a value, based on the current spot price of uranium, of approximately $28,800,000. The Company also continues to hold approximately 46,000 pounds of vanadium in inventory, as vanadium pregnant liquor, for future sale.
Uranium Production
Total uranium production for the Company from its Canadian and U.S. operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 103,000 pounds and 416,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The McClean Lake joint venture produced 385,000 pounds of uranium for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 1,169,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to production of 455,000 pounds and 1,121,000 pounds during the same periods in 2006. Denison’s 22.5% share of the 2007 production totaled 87,000 pounds during the three months and 264,000 pounds during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Uranium production at the White Mesa mill from alternate feed milling was 16,000 pounds for the three months and 153,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Mining at the Sue E pit at McClean Lake in northern Saskatchewan is proceeding with completion of mining of the deposit expected in the first quarter of 2008. Stripping of the Sue B overburden commenced in June and the contractor completed this work in the third quarter. Mining of the Sue B deposit will follow completion of Sue E.
U3O8 production at McClean Lake in 2007 is expected to be 1.8 million pounds of which Denison’s share is 405,000 pounds. The ore grade processed for the first nine months has averaged 0.42% U3O8. Currently the ore being processed is a grade of 0.74% U3O8. Production is expected to increase next year to approximately 3.2 million pounds with Denison’s share being 720,000 pounds.
The Midwest deposit is currently scheduled to commence production in 2011 and production is planned to ramp up to a rate of about 9 million pounds per year with Denison’s share being about 2,265,000 pounds per year. The regulatory approval process is progressing. The Environmental Impact Statement for Midwest was submitted for review in October. The feasibility study has been completed and is in the approval process with the partners.
During the third quarter, the Company processed high-grade alternate feed materials at its White Mesa mill under its contracts with Cameco Corporation. The Company does not receive a recycling fee for these materials; however it is able to retain all of the proceeds received from the sale of the uranium produced. Uranium production from this material was only 16,000 pounds for the three months and 153,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, there was over 100,000 pounds U3O8 in process which will be packaged in the fourth quarter and there was approximately 3,650 tons of these high-grade materials at the mill to be processed, containing approximately 110,000 pounds of uranium. Uranium production at the White Mesa mill for 2007 from processing alternate feed material is anticipated to be about 300,000 pounds. The modernization program at the White Mesa mill is proceeding but completion is currently about 45 days later than the original schedule due to changes in scope of the program. The revised program includes modifications and upgrading of the mill process equipment, upgrading the entire mill process control system, and relining of tailings cell 4A. Primarily as a result of the scope changes, the projected cost of the mill modernization has increased from $15 to $21 million.
Mining operations are underway at four of the Company’s U.S. uranium/vanadium mines in the Colorado Plateau district and at the Tony M mine in the Henry Mountains Complex. Mined ore is being stockpiled at the White Mesa mill with the milling of the ore scheduled to commence in late March 2008. Rehabilitation work has also begun at the Company’s Arizona 1 mine on the Arizona Strip located in northeastern Arizona. Ore production from this mine is anticipated by mid-2008. At September 30, 2007, a total of 43,000 tons of ore had been shipped to the mill. Denison has initiated an ore buying program at its White Mesa mill. It is anticipated that this program will supply about 60,000 tons of ore to the mill production in 2008.
The level of ore production is currently behind anticipated levels due largely to delays in permitting at Tony M and for completing ventilation shafts at the Colorado Plateau mines, as well as the impact of inexperienced mining crews. We now expect to have approximately 130,000 tons of material stockpiled before conventional ore production commences. While these issues are being addressed, we anticipate having lower quantities of ore available for processing in 2008 which will impact 2008 production. As a result, with conventional ore production commencing in March 2008, the expectation that the uranium/vanadium ore from the Colorado Plateau will necessitate mill throughput at 1,500 tons per day to ensure economic optimization of vanadium and uranium recoveries and the timing of the mill refurbishment program, we now anticipate 2008 production to be 1.7 to 2.1 million pounds U3O8 and approximately 4 to 6 million pounds V2O5 as compared to previous estimates of 2.9 million pounds U3O8 and 4.0 million pounds V2O5
We expect to sell 2.2 million pounds of U3O8 including 1.5 million pounds from U.S. production in 2008.
Uranium Exploration and Development
Athabasca Basin
In the Athabasca Basin, Denison is participating in 35 exploration projects, primarily located in the productive southeast part of the Basin and within open pit depths and trucking distance of the operating mills. Denison, together with ARC and Cameco Corporation, control the majority of the highly favourable geology in the prolific southeastern sector of the Basin. The Company’s projects in the Basin represent a good balance of grass roots, mid- stage and developed projects. In the third quarter 2007, $5,604,000 was spent by Denison on drilling and geological/geophysical work.
Near the McClean mill, joint venture partner ARC is operator of the Midwest, Wolly and McClean projects. At the Wolly project Denison has earned an initial 6.5% in the project and is earning up to a 22.5% interest in this project, which is one of the most prospective exploration projects in the basin.

Denison is participating in 13 major drill programs during the current drilling season in the Basin. At the Midwest project where Denison maintains a 25.17% interest, operator ARC completed a late summer drill program testing the west extension of the Mae Zone. Over 3,000 meters of drilling was completed, and a new high-grade structure was intersected, as previously reported. ARC is currently carrying out resource estimation work on the Mae Zone which is anticipated to be finalized in the fourth quarter.
Denison is operator on the Wheeler River, Moore Lake, Park Creek, Huard-Kirsch, Bell Lake, North Wedge and Crawford Lake joint ventures. On Denison’s operated and non-operated projects, a total of approximately 12,000 meters of drilling was carried out this year, most of it in this quarter. The last hole of the 16-hole Wheeler River program, drilled at -75 degrees, intersected anomalous mineralization approximately 500 meters along strike to the northeast from previously reported mineralization in WR-214. Drill hole WR-242A intersected a 1.8 meter thick zone at the unconformity, from 353.98 to 355.78 meters, with a grade of 0.265% eU308. The location of this mineralization at this location is in a similar highly altered geological setting as WR-214 and has both expanded and enhanced the potential of the west fault bounded side of the quartzite ridge. Late in the summer, a drill crew was mobilized to the Moore Lake site. A seven-hole program is currently underway to test targets at the Maverick Zone and to provide further information for a focused winter 2008 drill program
Denison’s exploration spending in 2007 in the Athabasca Basin is expected to total $15,500,000.
Southwest United States
In the United States, Denison is undertaking the permitting for an estimated 90,000 feet (28,000 meters) of drilling originally planned in 2007 to be carried out near existing operations. Permitting for this program is on-going and it is expected that drilling will now commence in 2008.
Mongolia
In Mongolia, Denison maintains a majority interest the Haraat and Hairhan deposits and a large number of exploration projects which have returned uraniferous intersections. A major 56,000 meter drill program was recently completed, and several discoveries were made on a number of the properties. The most significant was made at Hairhan, where a new zone of at least 5 meter thickness was located at depth under the north half of the main Hairhan deposit by widely spaced drilling on multiple holes in multiple profiles. Although generally lower grade, good permeable sands indicate potential for upgrading. This will be a major target for infill drilling in 2008. The resource at Hairhan currently stands at 7.9 million pounds U3O8 at grade of 0.076% eU3O8 classified as Indicated Resources, and 3.5 million pounds U3O8 at grade of 0.0867% eU3O8 classified as Inferred Resources. (See “Technical Report on the Uranium Exploration Properties in Mongolia” dated February 27, 2007 prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. available on the Company’s website or on SEDAR) Hydrological test work and pump well installations were installed late in the year at both Hairhan and Haraat as a preliminary step in the characterization of the hydrogeological regimes. The scoping study on the Haraat project will be completed by the end of this month.
Australia
Energy Metals Limited (“Energy Metals”), an Australian listed company (ASX-EME), continues to receive good results from its Bigrlyi joint venture near Alice Springs in Australia as announced by it on July 25, 2007. Denison owns an 11% equity interest in Energy Metals and is looking to further participate in advanced projects in Australia. Current JORC compliant resources on a 100% basis (indicated and inferred 0.05% U3O8 cut-off) total 14.3 million pounds U3O8 and 16.3 million pounds V2O5 mostly within 200m of the surface and potentially accessible via open pit mining. The current drilling program is identifying extensions to the known mineralization in addition to delineating new mineralized zones. Results to date indicate that an upgrade to the existing resources can be confidently expected.
Zambia
Denison completed its acquisition of Omega during the third quarter. Omega owns 100% of the Kariba Uranium Project covering 1,893 km2 in Zambia. Denison has recently initiated development drilling which is currently underway at the location of the proposed Dibwe open pit and will subsequently move to Mutanga. In addition, an RC drill is anticipated to arrive shortly and will commence a major 30,000 meter infill drilling and exploration program. An updated scoping study is underway and expected to be completed by the end of this year.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
OVERVIEW
Denison is a diversified, growth-oriented, intermediate uranium producer.  With seven active uranium mining projects in North America (five in the U.S. and two in Canada), Denison expects estimated production of over 2.5 million pounds in 2008, increasing to over 5 million pounds of uranium oxide in concentrates (“U3O8”) by 2011.  Denison’s assets include an interest in two of the four licensed and operating conventional uranium mills in North America, with its 100% ownership of the White Mesa mill in Utah and its 22.5% ownership of the McClean Lake mill in Saskatchewan. Both mills are fully permitted, operating and undergoing expansion.  The Company also produces vanadium as a co-product from some of its mines in Colorado and Utah. The Company is also in the business of recycling uranium-bearing waste materials, referred to as “alternate feed materials”, for the recovery of uranium, alone or in combination with other metals, at the Company’s White Mesa mill.
Denison enjoys a global portfolio of world-class exploration projects, including properties in close proximity to the Company’s mills in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan and in the southwestern United States.  Denison also has exploration and development stage properties in Mongolia, Zambia and, indirectly through its investments, in Australia.
Denison is the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly traded company which invests in uranium oxide in concentrates and uranium hexafluoride.  Denison is also engaged in mine decommissioning and environmental services through its Denison Environmental Services (“DES”) division.
Denison is a reporting issuer in all of the Canadian provinces. Denison’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “DML” and on the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”) under the symbol “DNN”.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Company recorded a net loss of $11,721,000 ($0.06 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared with a net loss of $6,368,000 ($0.07 per share) for the same period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the company recorded net income of $23,702,000 ($0.13 per share) compared with a loss of $11,728,000 ($0.13 per share) for the same period in 2006. The results for 2006 have been restated to reflect the change in accounting policy to expense exploration costs as discussed in Note 3 of the Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues totaled $9,411,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $39,939,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with $1,000 and $669,000 for the same periods in 2006. Expenses totaled $21,251,000 for the three months and $56,921,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 period compared with $6,025,000 and $14,858,000 for the same periods in 2006. Net other income (expense) totaled ($893,000) for the three month and $37,343,000 for the nine month periods in 2007 compared with ($344,000) and $2,461,000 for 2006.
Revenues
Uranium sales revenue for the third quarter totaled $7,396,000. Sales revenue includes the sale of 85,000 pounds of U3O8 production from the McClean Lake joint venture at an average sales price of $85.41 per pound and an adjustment to the amortization of the fair value increment related to long-term sales contracts from the acquisition of DMI in the amount of $503,000. Reported revenue is also impacted by the effect of foreign currency translations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, uranium sales revenue totaled $30,951,000 consisting of sales of 270,000 pounds of production from the McClean Lake joint venture at an average price of $75.21 per pound and the amortization of the fair value increment related to long term sales contracts from the acquisition of Denison Mines Inc. (“DMI”) in the amount of $1,512,000. Revenue also includes the sale of 75,000 pounds of production at the White Mesa mill at $130.00 per pound.
Denison markets its uranium from the McClean Lake joint venture jointly with AREVA Resources Canada Inc. (“ARC”). Generally, sales are made under several long-term contracts with nuclear utilities with a variety of pricing mechanisms. Denison’s share of current contracts sales volumes is set out in the table below:
Current Contracted Sales Volumes (Note 1)

Legacy Market Related
    0       140       210       0     96% of Spot
 
1.   Assumes customers take maximum quantities permitted by contract
Agreements with the AREVA Group call for production to be allocated first to the market related contracts with any surplus to be apportioned over the legacy contracts. The legacy base-escalated contracts have pricing formulas that result in sales prices well below current market prices. These contracts have been fair valued at December 1, 2006 and a liability was recorded in the amount of $14,848,000 which will be amortized through revenue over the life of the contracts.
New contracts for sales of the Company’s U.S. uranium inventory and production are expected to be under market related contracts. One such contract was completed with AREVA in March 2007, for the sale of 17% of the White Mesa mill production commencing in 2008 up to a maximum of 6.5 million pounds with a minimum of 2.5 million pounds by the end of 2011. The sales price is 95% of the published long-term price for the month prior to delivery with a floor price of $45.00.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
The Company has agreed to sell 250,000 pounds of U3O8 for delivery in early December, 2007 at a price equal to 96.6% of the average of the last spot price published by Ux Consulting LLC and Trade Tech LLC in November 2007. No other sales contracts are in place at this time.
During the quarter, the White Mesa mill completed a processing campaign of alternate feed materials on which a processing fee is paid. Processing revenue for the quarter was $68,000 and for the nine months totaled $2,479,000 (2006:$668,000). At September 30, 2007, approximately 10,000 tons of these types of alternate feed materials remained in stockpile.
At September 30, 2007, the Company held approximately 320,000 pounds of uranium produced from alternate feed with a market value based on the current quoted spot price of uranium of approximately $28,800,000
The Company continues to hold approximately 46,000 pounds of vanadium in inventory, as vanadium pregnant liquor, for future sale.
Revenue from the environmental services division was $1,443,000 for the three months and $3,391,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Revenue from the management contract with Uranium Participation Corporation was $504,000 for the three months and $3,117,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Uranium Production
Total uranium production for the Company from its Canadian and U.S. operations was 103,000 pounds for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 416,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The McClean Lake joint venture produced 385,000 pounds of uranium for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 1,169,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to production of 455,000 pounds and 1,121,000 pounds during the same periods in 2006. Denison’s 22.5% share of the 2007 production totaled 87,000 pounds during the three months and 264,000 pounds during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Uranium production at the White Mesa mill from alternate feed milling was 16,000 pounds for the three months and 153,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
In 2006, the Company recommenced active mining operations at a number of its U.S. uranium/vanadium mines in the Colorado Plateau district. Currently mining is underway at four locations on the Colorado Plateau and a fifth mine at the Henry Mountains complex. Mined ore is being stockpiled at the White Mesa mill with the milling of the ore scheduled to commence early in 2008. As of the end of September 30, 2007, a total of 43,000 tons of ore had been stockpiled at the mill.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months were $9,206,000 and $28,906,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $624,000 and $2,012,000 for the same periods in 2006. The expenses for the nine months include $18,351,000 related to mining operations in Canada; $6,537,000 related to processing operations in the U.S. and $3,341,000 related to environmental services expenses.
Sales Royalties and Capital Taxes
Sales royalties and capital taxes totaled $522,000 for the third quarter and $1,503,000 for the nine months. Denison pays a Saskatchewan basic uranium royalty of 4% of gross uranium sales from Saskatchewan production after receiving the benefit of a 1% Saskatchewan resource credit. Denison also pays Saskatchewan capital taxes based on the greater of 3.6% of gross uranium sales and capital tax otherwise computed under the Saskatchewan Corporation Capital Tax Act. For uranium production after January 1, 2007, the factor applied to gross uranium sales for Saskatchewan capital tax purposes was reduced to 3.3% with further reductions scheduled in 2007 and 2008. The Saskatchewan government also imposes a tiered royalty which ranges from 6% to 15% of gross uranium sales after recovery of mill and mine capital allowances which approximate capital costs. Denison has not paid tiered royalties in the past and has sufficient mill and mine capital and expansion allowances available or anticipated to shelter it from the tiered royalty at current uranium prices for at least two years.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
MINERAL PROPERTY EXPLORATION
Denison is engaged in uranium exploration, as both operator and non-operator of joint ventures and also on a 100% basis in Canada and Mongolia. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 exploration expenditures totaled $8,385,000 and totaled $16,914,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $3,950,000 and $9,266,000 for the corresponding periods in 2006.
A majority of the exploration expenditures during the period were spent in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. Denison is engaged in uranium exploration on advanced projects in this region of Canada as part of the AREVA operated McClean and Midwest joint ventures. A significant discovery, termed the Mae Zone and located northeast of the proposed Midwest open pit, was drilled this past winter. Denison is also participating in a total of 33 other exploration projects concentrating in the productive South East margin of the Athabasca basin. Denison is operator of two mid stage projects, the Moore Lake and the Wheeler River Joint Ventures, included in this portfolio. Denison’s share of exploration spending on its Canadian properties totaled $5,671,000 of which $5,605,000 was expensed in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and totaled $14,206,000 of which $13,602,000 was expensed in the statement of operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Exploration expenditures of $2,598,000 for the three month period and $3,048,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were spent in Mongolia on the Company’s joint venture and 100% owned properties. The Company has a 70% interest in the Gurvan Saihan Joint Venture (“GSJV”) in Mongolia. The other parties to the joint venture are the Mongolian government as to 15% and Geologorazvedka, a Russian government entity, as to 15%. Additional expenditures for development of the GSJV’s Hairhan and Haraat uranium deposits have also been incurred. Development work includes extensive resource delineation drilling, hydrological drilling, plant design and environmental studies.
The remaining expenditures of $182,000 for the three month period and $264,000 for the nine month period were spent on the Company’s other properties.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $3,138,000 for the three months and $9,598,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with $1,247,000 and $3,376,000 for the same periods in 2006. The increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of Denison Mines Inc. (“DMI”) effective December 1, 2006, a ramping up of the Company’s operations and an increase in public company expenses due to additional compliance costs. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for personnel, contract and professional services and other overhead expenditures.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income (expense) totaled ($893,000) for the three months and $37,343,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with ($344,000) and $2,461,000 for the same periods in 2006. The net expense in the third quarter is primarily due to foreign exchange losses. The net other income for the nine month period is primarily due to the disposition of portfolio investments.
Urizon Joint Venture
The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture with Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (“NFS”) for the pursuit of a U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) alternate feed program for the mill. This 50/50 joint venture is carried out through Urizon Recovery Systems, LLC (“Urizon”). The joint venture currently expects that a decision will be made by the DOE as to how it intends to proceed on the disposition of the material and that the joint venture will have an opportunity to propose the Urizon Program as a suitable disposition option for this feedstock. The accounts of Urizon are included in the Company’s financial statements on a proportionate consolidation basis.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
OUTLOOK FOR 2007
Mining and Production
Mining at the Sue E pit at McClean Lake in northern Saskatchewan is proceeding with completion of mining of the deposit expected in the first quarter of 2008. Stripping of the Sue B overburden commenced in June and the contractor completed this work in the third quarter. Mining of the Sue B deposit will follow completion of Sue E.
U3O8 production levels at McClean Lake in 2007 is expected to be 1.8 million pounds of which Denison’s share is 405,000 pounds. The ore grade processed for the first nine months has averaged 0.42% U3O8. Currently the ore being processed is a grade of 0.74% U3O8. Production is expected to increase next year to approximately 3.2 million pounds with Denison’s share being 720,000 pounds.
During the third quarter, the Company processed high-grade alternate feed materials at its White Mesa mill under its contracts with Cameco Corporation. The Company does not receive a recycling fee for these materials; however it is able to retain all of the proceeds received from the sale of the uranium produced. Uranium production from this material was only 16,000 pounds for the three months and 153,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, there was over 100,000 pounds U3O8 in process which will be packaged in the fourth quarter and there was approximately 3,650 tons of these high-grade materials at the mill to be processed, containing approximately 110,000 pounds of uranium. Uranium production at the White Mesa mill for 2007 from processing alternate feed material is anticipated to be about 300,000 pounds. The modernization program at the White Mesa mill is proceeding but completion is currently about 45 days later than the original schedule due to changes in scope of the program. The revised program includes modifications and upgrading of the mill process equipment, upgrading the entire mill process control system, and relining of tailings cell 4A. Primarily as a result of the scope changes, the projected cost of the mill modernization has increased from $15 to $21 million.
Mining operations on the Colorado Plateau are well underway with four mines in operation. Production from the Sunday, Pandora, Topaz and St. Jude mines is running at about 300 tons per day. At the Tony M mine within the Henry Mountains Complex, located in Utah, full operational permits have been received and production from this mine is underway and will ramp up to 300 tons per day in the first quarter of 2008. Rehabilitation work has begun at the Company’s Arizona 1 mine on the Arizona Strip located in northeastern Arizona. Ore production from this mine is anticipated by mid-2008. Production from these mines is being hauled to Denison’s White Mesa mill and is currently being stockpiled. Milling of conventional ore is scheduled for the end of the first quarter of 2008. At September 30, 2007, a total of 43,000 tons had been shipped to the mill.
The level of ore production is currently behind anticipated levels due largely to delays in permitting at Tony M and for ventilation shafts at the Colorado Plateau mines, as well as the impact of inexperienced mining crews. We now expect to have approximately 130,000 tons of material stockpiled before conventional ore production commences. While these issues are being addressed we anticipate having lower quantities of ore available for processing in 2008 which will impact 2008 production. As a result, with conventional ore production commencing in March 2008, the expectation that the uranium/vanadium ore from the Colorado Plateau will necessitate mill throughput at 1,500 tons per day to ensure economic optimization of vanadium and uranium recoveries and the timing of the mill refurbishment program, we now anticipate 2008 production to be 1.7 to 2.1 million pounds U3O8 and approximately 4 to 6 million pounds V2O5 as compared to previous estimates of 2.9 million pounds U3O8 and 4.0 million pounds V2O5.
We expect to sell 2.2 million pounds of U3O8 including 1.5 million pounds from U.S. production in 2008.
EXPLORATION
Athabasca Basin in Canada
In the Athabasca Basin, Denison is participating in 35 exploration projects, primarily located in the productive southeast part of the Basin and within open pit depths and trucking distance of the operating mills. Denison, together with ARC and Cameco Corporation, control the majority of the highly favourable geology in the prolific southeastern sector of the Basin. The Company’s projects in the Basin represent a good balance of grass roots, mid- stage and developed projects.
Near the McClean mill, joint venture partner ARC is operator of the Midwest, Wolly and McClean projects. At the Wolly project Denison has earned an initial 6.5% in the project and is earning up to a 22.5% interest in this project, which is one of the most prospective exploration projects in the basin.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
Denison is participating in thirteen major drill programs during the current drilling season in the Basin. At the Midwest project where Denison maintains a 25.17% interest, operator ARC completed a late summer drill program testing the west extension of the Mae Zone. Over 3,000 meters of drilling was completed, and a new high grade structure was intersected, as previously reported. ARC is currently carrying out resource estimation work on the Mae Zone which is anticipated to be finalized in the fourth quarter.
Denison is operator on the Wheeler River, Moore Lake, Park Creek, Huard-Kirsch, Bell Lake, North Wedge and Crawford Lake joint ventures. On Denison’s operated and non-operated projects, a total of approximately 12,000 meters of drilling was carried out this year, most of it in this quarter. The last hole of the sixteen hole Wheeler River program, drilled at -75 degrees, intersected anomalous mineralization approximately 500 meters along strike to the northeast from previously reported mineralization in WR-214. Drill hole WR-242A intersected a 1.8 meter thick zone at the unconformity, from 353.98 to 355.78 meters, with a grade of 0.265% eU308. The location of this mineralization at this location is in a similar highly altered geological setting as WR-214 and has both expanded and enhanced the potential of the west fault bounded side of the quartzite ridge. Late in the summer, a drill crew was mobilized to the Moore Lake site. A seven hole program is currently underway to test targets at the Maverick Zone and to provide further information for a focused winter 2008 drill program
Denison’s exploration spending in 2007 in the Athabasca Basin is expected to total $15,500,000.
Southwest United States
In the United States, Denison is undertaking the permitting for an estimated 90,000 feet (28,000 meters) of drilling originally planned in 2007 to be carried out near existing operations. Permitting for this program is on-going and it is expected that drilling will now commence in 2008.
Mongolia
In Mongolia, Denison maintains a majority interest the Haraat and Hairhan deposits and a large number of exploration projects which have returned uraniferous intersections. A major 56,000 meter drill program was recently completed, and several discoveries were made on a number of the properties. The most significant was made at Hairhan, where a new zone of at least 5 meter thickness was located at depth under the north half of the main Hairhan deposit by widely spaced drilling on multiple holes in multiple profiles, Although generally lower grade, good permeable sands indicate potential for upgrading. This will be a major target for infill drilling in 2008. The resource at Hairhan currently stands at 7.9 million pounds U3O8 at grade of 0.076% eU3O8 classified as Indicated Resources, and 3.5 million pounds U3O8 at grade of 0.0867% eU3O8 classified as Inferred Resources. (See “Technical Report on the Uranium Exploration Properties in Mongolia” dated February 27, 2007 prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. available on the Company’s website or on SEDAR) Hydrological test work and pump well installations were installed late in the year at both Hairhan and Haraat as a preliminary step in the characterization of the hydrogeological regimes. The scoping study on the Haraat project will be completed by the end of this month.
Australia
Energy Metals Limited (“Energy Metals”), an Australian listed company (ASX-EME), continues to receive good results from its Bigrlyi joint venture near Alice Springs in Australia as announced by it on July 25, 2007. Denison owns an 11% equity interest in Energy Metals and is looking to further participate in advanced projects in Australia. Current JORC compliant resources on a 100% basis (indicated and inferred 0.05% U3O8 cut-off) total 14.3 million pounds U3O8 and 16.3 million pounds V2O5 mostly within 200m of the surface and potentially accessible via open pit mining. The current drilling program is identifying extensions to the known mineralization in addition to delineating new mineralized zones. Results to date indicate that an upgrade to the existing resources can be confidently expected.
Zambia
Denison completed its acquisition of Omega during the third quarter. Omega owns 100% of the Kariba Uranium Project covering 1,893 km2 in Zambia. Denison has recently initiated development drilling which is currently underway at the location of the proposed Dibwe open pit and will subsequently move to Mutanga. In addition, an RC drill is anticipated to arrive shortly and will commence a major 30,000 meter infill drilling and exploration program. An updated scoping study is underway and expected to be completed by the end of this year.

IMPACT OF ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 2007, the company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1530: “Comprehensive Income” which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income, defined as a change in value of net assets that is not due to owner activities, by introducing a new requirement to temporarily present certain gains and losses outside of net income and adopted CICA Handbook Section 3855: “Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement” establishes standards for the recognition, classification and measurement of financial instruments including the presentation of any resulting gains and losses. Under this Standard, assets classified as available-for-sale securities are revalued at the balance sheet date and gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (and not included in the income statement) until such time as the asset is disposed of or incurs a decline in fair value that is other than temporary. At such time, any gains or losses will then be realized and reclassified to the income statement. At September 30, 2007, the Company had certain long-term investments that were classified as available-for-sale securities under this new standard and an unrealized gain net of tax of $28,579,000 has been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited — Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted)
1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
    Denison Mines Corp. is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”). Denison Mines Corp. and its subsidiary companies and joint ventures (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including acquisition, exploration and development of uranium bearing properties, extraction, processing, selling and reclamation. The environmental services division of the Company provides mine decommissioning and decommissioned site monitoring services for third parties.
 
    The Company has a 100% interest in the White Mesa mill located in Utah, United States and a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake mill located in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company has interests in a number of nearby mines at both locations, as well as interests in development and exploration projects located in Canada, the United States, Mongolia and Zambia, some of which are operated through joint ventures. Uranium, the Company’s primary product, is produced in the form of uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) and sold to various customers around the world for further processing. Vanadium, a co-product of some of the Company’s mines is also produced. The Company is also in the business of recycling uranium bearing waste materials, referred to as “alternate feed materials”.
 
    Denison Mines Inc. (“DMI”), a subsidiary of the Company is the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly-listed investment holding company formed to invest substantially all of its assets in U3O8 and uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”). The Company has no ownership interest in UPC but receives various fees for management services and commissions from the purchase and sale of U3O8 and UF6 by UPC.
 
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Basis of Presentation
 
    These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) for interim financial statements.
 
    Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP have been condensed or excluded. As a result, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006.
 
    All material adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been reflected in these financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006, except for the changes noted under the “Accounting Policies” section below.
 
    Principles of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments
 
    These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Denison Mines Corp., its subsidiaries and its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of jointly-controlled companies and unincorporated ventures proportionate to the Company’s percentage ownership or participating interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
    The companies and ventures controlled by Denison Mines Corp. are consolidated using the full consolidation method. Control is defined as the direct or indirect power to govern a company’s financial and operating policies in order to benefit from its activities.
 
    The companies and ventures jointly controlled by Denison Mines Corp. are consolidated using the proportionate consolidation method. Joint control is deemed to exist when agreements exist that require that material changes to the operating, investing and financing policies of such company or venture be approved by a percentage of the participating interest sufficiently high enough to prevent any one participant from exercising unilateral control.
Financial Statements

    The companies and ventures in which Denison Mines Corp. exercises significant influence over financial policy and management (“associates”) are accounted for using the equity method. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company evaluates a number of criteria including the percentage of voting interest held, and representation on the board of directors or in senior management.
 
    The Company substantially completed its acquisition of OmegaCorp Limited (“Omega”) during the quarter and has determined that it exercises control over Omega. Accordingly, the Company is consolidating the results of Omega (see note 4).
 
    The Company divested a majority of its investment in Fortress Minerals Corp. (“Fortress”) during the second quarter of 2007. Accordingly, the Company is accounting for its remaining investment in Fortress as a portfolio investment carried at fair value. Prior to the divestiture, the Company used the equity method (see note 4).
 
    The following table sets forth the Company’s ownership of its significant mining interests as at September 30, 2007:
         
    Ownership
    Interest
 
Through majority owned subsidiaries
       
Arizona Strip (U.S.A)

Colorado Plateau (U.S.A)
    100.00 %
Sunday Mine (U.S.A)
    100.00 %
Gurvan Saihan Joint Venture (Mongolia)
    70.00 %
Kariba (Zambia)
    100.00 %
 
       
As interests in unincorporated joint ventures, or jointly controlled assets
       
McClean Lake (Canada)
    22.50 %
Midwest (Canada)
    25.17 %
Moore Lake (Canada)
    75.00 %
Wheeler (1) (Canada)
    60.00 %
Wolly (2) (Canada)
    6.50 %
 
(1)   In October 2004, the Company entered into an option agreement with its joint venture partners to earn a further 20% ownership interest in the Wheeler project by funding CDN$7,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next 6 years. As at June 30, 2007, the Company had fulfilled its obligations under the option agreement and had increased its ownership interest in the project from 40% to 60%.
 
(2)   In October 2004, the Company entered into an option agreement with its joint venture partners to earn a 22.5% ownership interest in the Wolly project by funding CDN$5,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next six years. As at September 30, 2007, the Company has incurred a total of CDN$2,523,000 towards this option and has earned a 6.5% ownership interest in the project under the phase-in ownership provisions of the agreement.
    Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards
 
    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006, except for the following changes in accounting policies:
 
    Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement
 
    On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3855: Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement. Assets classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the balance sheet and the resulting revaluation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (and not included in the income statement) until such time as the asset is disposed of or incurs a decline in fair value that is other than temporary. At such time, any gains or losses will then be realized and reclassified to the income statement. See Note 16 for the transitional impacts of this adoption.
 
    New Accounting Standards not Adopted
 
    The CICA issued the following accounting standards effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008:
  a)   Accounting Standards Section 3031 “Inventories” provides guidance on the determination of cost and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realizable value. It also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories and is effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008.
Financial Statements

- 21 -


 

  b)   Accounting Standards Section 3862 “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” requires disclosures in the financial statements that will enable users to evaluate: the significance of financial instruments for the company’s financial positions and performance; the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the company is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date; and how the company manages those risks. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007.
    The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting the above accounting standards.
 
    Restatement of Comparative Numbers
 
    In 2006, the Company adopted the expensing of exploration expenditures on mineral properties not sufficiently advanced to identify their development potential. Previously, including interim periods during the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006, the Company had been capitalizing such exploration expenditures as incurred which is permitted under Canadian GAAP, provided that these exploration expenditures have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment and that capitalization is appropriate under the circumstances.
 
    The primary purpose of this change in accounting policy is to align the accounting treatment of exploration expenditures on mineral properties not sufficiently advanced to identify their development potential, with those of the Company’s producing peers in the resource industry.
 
    The Company has adopted this change in accounting policy on a retrospective basis with restatement of the comparative periods presented. This change has also been applied to the Company’s recognition of its investment in Fortress Minerals Corp.

    Results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 have been restated to reflect this change in accounting policy. The following table summarizes the effects of this change:

    Omega’s assets and liabilities were measured at their individual fair values as of August 1, 2007. In arriving at these preliminary fair values, management has made assumptions, estimates and assessments at the time these financial statements were prepared. The future income tax liability as a result of these fair value adjustments has been estimated based on the income tax rates that management believes are most applicable to the operations acquired.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Specific Legal Matters
Blue Hill, Maine
The Company was a defendant in an action filed by the State of Maine against Kerramerican, Inc., a subsidiary of Noranda Inc., Black Hawk Mining Ltd. and the Company, regarding potential liability for clean-up costs at a zinc mining site in the state of Maine known as Blue Hill. This matter has been settled by all parties and claims filed in the Maine and Ontario courts have been dismissed.
Fisheries Act Charges
During the course of its monitoring of its closed Elliot Lake mines, Denison detected and reported to the Joint Regulatory Group (“JRG”), a body comprised of federal and provincial regulators responsible for the Elliot Lake mines, on a number of matters, including the levels of acidity in the effluent run off from one area associated with one of its Elliot Lake mine sites. In consultation with the JRG, the Company took steps to identify the source of and to address the acidity, though the source of the acidity has to date not been determined. Despite the Company’s compliance with its CNSC license, cooperation with the JRG and compliance with a Direction from Environment Canada that was not in accordance with a memorandum of agreement between the CNSC and Environment Canada, on March 27, 2007 Environment Canada notified Denison that it has been charged with allegedly violating the Fisheries Act (Canada). The Company is disputing these charges.

General Legal Matters
The Company is involved, from time to time, in various other legal actions and claims in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the aggregate amount of any potential liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results.
Third Party Indemnities
The Company has agreed to indemnify Calfrac Well Services against any future liabilities it may incur related to the assets or liabilities transferred to the Company on March 8, 2004.
Others
The Company has detected some chloroform contamination at the White Mesa mill site that appears to have resulted from the operation of a temporary laboratory facility that was located at the site prior to and during the construction of the Mill facility, and septic drain fields that were used for laboratory and sanitary wastes prior to construction of the Mill’s tailings cells. In April 2003, the Company commenced an interim remedial program of pumping the chloroform-contaminated water from the groundwater to the Mill’s tailings cells. This will enable the Company to begin clean up of the contaminated areas and to take a further step towards resolution of this outstanding issue. Although the investigations to date indicate that this contamination appears to be contained in a manageable area, the scope and costs of final remediation have not yet been determined and could be significant.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited — Expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted)
1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
    Denison Mines Corp. is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”). Denison Mines Corp. and its subsidiary companies and joint ventures (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including acquisition, exploration and development of uranium bearing properties, extraction, processing, selling and reclamation. The environmental services division of the Company provides mine decommissioning and decommissioned site monitoring services for third parties.
 
    The Company has a 100% interest in the White Mesa mill located in Utah, United States and a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake mill located in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company has interests in a number of nearby mines at both locations, as well as interests in development and exploration projects located in Canada, the United States, Mongolia and Zambia, some of which are operated through joint ventures. Uranium, the Company’s primary product, is produced in the form of uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) and sold to various customers around the world for further processing. Vanadium, a co-product of some of the Company’s mines is also produced. The Company is also in the business of recycling uranium bearing waste materials, referred to as “alternate feed materials”.
 
    Denison Mines Inc. (“DMI”), a subsidiary of the Company is the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly-listed investment holding company formed to invest substantially all of its assets in U3O8 and uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”). The Company has no ownership interest in UPC but receives various fees for management services and commissions from the purchase and sale of U3O8 and UF6 by UPC.
 
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Basis of Presentation
 
    These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) for interim financial statements.
 
    Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP have been condensed or excluded. As a result, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006.
 
    All material adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been reflected in these financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006, except for the changes noted under the “Accounting Policies” section below.
 
    Principles of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments
 
    These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Denison Mines Corp., its subsidiaries and its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of jointly-controlled companies and unincorporated ventures proportionate to the Company’s percentage ownership or participating interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
    The companies and ventures controlled by Denison Mines Corp. are consolidated using the full consolidation method. Control is defined as the direct or indirect power to govern a company’s financial and operating policies in order to benefit from its activities.
 
    The companies and ventures jointly controlled by Denison Mines Corp. are consolidated using the proportionate consolidation method. Joint control is deemed to exist when agreements exist that require that material changes to the operating, investing and financing policies of such company or venture be approved by a percentage of the participating interest sufficiently high enough to prevent any one participant from exercising unilateral control.
Financial Statements

- 4 -


 

    The companies and ventures in which Denison Mines Corp. exercises significant influence over financial policy and management (“associates”) are accounted for using the equity method. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company evaluates a number of criteria including the percentage of voting interest held, and representation on the board of directors or in senior management.
 
    The Company substantially completed its acquisition of OmegaCorp Limited (“Omega”) during the quarter and has determined that it exercises control over Omega. Accordingly, the Company is consolidating the results of Omega
(see note 4).
 
    The Company divested a majority of its investment in Fortress Minerals Corp. (“Fortress”) during the second quarter of 2007. Accordingly, the Company is accounting for its remaining investment in Fortress as a portfolio investment carried at fair value. Prior to the divestiture, the Company used the equity method (see note 4).
 
    The following table sets forth the Company’s ownership of its significant mining interests as at September 30, 2007:
         
    Ownership
    Interest
 
Through majority owned subsidiaries
       
Arizona Strip (U.S.A)
    100.00 %
Henry Mountains (U.S.A)
    100.00 %
Colorado Plateau (U.S.A)
    100.00 %
Sunday Mine (U.S.A)
    100.00 %
Gurvan Saihan Joint Venture (Mongolia)
    70.00 %
Kariba (Zambia)
    100.00 %
 
       
As interests in unincorporated joint ventures, or jointly controlled assets
       
McClean Lake (Canada)
    22.50 %
Midwest (Canada)
    25.17 %
Moore Lake (Canada)
    75.00 %
Wheeler (1) (Canada)
    60.00 %
Wolly (2) (Canada)
    6.50 %
 
(1)   In October 2004, the Company entered into an option agreement with its joint venture partners to earn a further 20% ownership interest in the Wheeler project by funding CDN$7,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next 6 years. As at June 30, 2007, the Company had fulfilled its obligations under the option agreement and had increased its ownership interest in the project from 40% to 60%.
 
(2)   In October 2004, the Company entered into an option agreement with its joint venture partners to earn a 22.5% ownership interest in the Wolly project by funding CDN$5,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next six years. As at September 30, 2007, the Company has incurred a total of CDN$2,523,000 towards this option and has earned a 6.5% ownership interest in the project under the phase-in ownership provisions of the agreement.
    Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards
 
    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006, except for the following changes in accounting policies:
 
    Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement
 
    On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3855: Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement. Assets classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the balance sheet and the resulting revaluation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (and not included in the income statement) until such time as the asset is disposed of or incurs a decline in fair value that is other than temporary. At such time, any gains or losses will then be realized and reclassified to the income statement. See Note 16 for the transitional impacts of this adoption.
 
    New Accounting Standards not Adopted
 
    The CICA issued the following accounting standards effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008:
  a)   Accounting Standards Section 3031 “Inventories” provides guidance on the determination of cost and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realizable value. It also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories and is effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008.
Financial Statements

- 5 -


 

  b)   Accounting Standards Section 3862 “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” requires disclosures in the financial statements that will enable users to evaluate: the significance of financial instruments for the company’s financial positions and performance; the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the company is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date; and how the company manages those risks. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007.
    The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting the above accounting standards.
 
    Restatement of Comparative Numbers
 
    In 2006, the Company adopted the expensing of exploration expenditures on mineral properties not sufficiently advanced to identify their development potential. Previously, including interim periods during the 15 month period ended December 31, 2006, the Company had been capitalizing such exploration expenditures as incurred which is permitted under Canadian GAAP, provided that these exploration expenditures have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment and that capitalization is appropriate under the circumstances.
 
    The primary purpose of this change in accounting policy is to align the accounting treatment of exploration expenditures on mineral properties not sufficiently advanced to identify their development potential, with those of the Company’s producing peers in the resource industry.
 
    The Company has adopted this change in accounting policy on a retrospective basis with restatement of the comparative periods presented. This change has also been applied to the Company’s recognition of its investment in Fortress Minerals Corp.

    Omega’s assets and liabilities were measured at their individual fair values as of August 1, 2007. In arriving at these preliminary fair values, management has made assumptions, estimates and assessments at the time these financial statements were prepared. The future income tax liability as a result of these fair value adjustments has been estimated based on the income tax rates that management believes are most applicable to the operations acquired.
 
    Divestitures
 
    Energy Metals Corp (“EMC”)
 
    During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company sold 1,152,000 common shares of EMC for cash consideration of approximately CDN$18,754,000. The resulting gain has been included in net other income in the statement of operations (see note 17). The Company no longer holds a common share interest in EMC.
 
    Fortess Minerals Corp (“Fortress”)
 
    During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company sold 26,398,750 common shares of Fortress for cash consideration of approximately CDN$32,829,000. The resulting gain has been included in net other income in the statement of operations (see note 17 and note 19).
 
    The Company holds 4,200,000 shares of Fortress at September 30, 2007 or approximately 5% of the voting interest. As a result of the decrease in its ownership interest, the Company discontinued the use of the equity method in accounting for this investment and used the fair value method beginning in the second quarter of 2007. The appropriate portion of cumulative equity accounting adjustments as at September 30, 2007 have been derecognized and included in the gain referred to above.

20.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    Specific Legal Matters
 
    Blue Hill, Maine
 
    The Company was a defendant in an action filed by the State of Maine against Kerramerican, Inc., a subsidiary of Noranda Inc., Black Hawk Mining Ltd. and the Company, regarding potential liability for clean-up costs at a zinc mining site in the state of Maine known as Blue Hill. This matter has been settled by all parties and claims filed in the Maine and Ontario courts have been dismissed.
 
    Fisheries Act Charges
 
    During the course of its monitoring of its closed Elliot Lake mines, Denison detected and reported to the Joint Regulatory Group (“JRG”), a body comprised of federal and provincial regulators responsible for the Elliot Lake mines, on a number of matters, including the levels of acidity in the effluent run off from one area associated with one of its Elliot Lake mine sites. In consultation with the JRG, the Company took steps to identify the source of and to address the acidity, though the source of the acidity has to date not been determined. Despite the Company’s compliance with its CNSC license, cooperation with the JRG and compliance with a Direction from Environment Canada that was not in accordance with a memorandum of agreement between the CNSC and Environment Canada, on March 27, 2007 Environment Canada notified Denison that it has been charged with allegedly violating the Fisheries Act (Canada). The Company is disputing these charges.

    General Legal Matters
 
    The Company is involved, from time to time, in various other legal actions and claims in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the aggregate amount of any potential liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results.
 
    Third Party Indemnities
 
    The Company has agreed to indemnify Calfrac Well Services against any future liabilities it may incur related to the assets or liabilities transferred to the Company on March 8, 2004.
 
    Others
 
    The Company has detected some chloroform contamination at the White Mesa mill site that appears to have resulted from the operation of a temporary laboratory facility that was located at the site prior to and during the construction of the Mill facility, and septic drain fields that were used for laboratory and sanitary wastes prior to construction of the Mill’s tailings cells. In April 2003, the Company commenced an interim remedial program of pumping the chloroform-contaminated water from the groundwater to the Mill’s tailings cells. This will enable the Company to begin clean up of the contaminated areas and to take a further step towards resolution of this outstanding issue. Although the investigations to date indicate that this contamination appears to be contained in a manageable area, the scope and costs of final remediation have not yet been determined and could be significant.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
OVERVIEW
Denison is a diversified, growth-oriented, intermediate uranium producer.  With seven active uranium mining projects in North America (five in the U.S. and two in Canada), Denison expects estimated production of over 2.5 million pounds in 2008, increasing to over 5 million pounds of uranium oxide in concentrates (“U3O8”) by 2011.  Denison’s assets include an interest in two of the four licensed and operating conventional uranium mills in North America, with its 100% ownership of the White Mesa mill in Utah and its 22.5% ownership of the McClean Lake mill in Saskatchewan. Both mills are fully permitted, operating and undergoing expansion.  The Company also produces vanadium as a co-product from some of its mines in Colorado and Utah. The Company is also in the business of recycling uranium-bearing waste materials, referred to as “alternate feed materials”, for the recovery of uranium, alone or in combination with other metals, at the Company’s White Mesa mill.
Denison enjoys a global portfolio of world-class exploration projects, including properties in close proximity to the Company’s mills in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan and in the southwestern United States.  Denison also has exploration and development stage properties in Mongolia, Zambia and, indirectly through its investments, in Australia.
Denison is the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly traded company which invests in uranium oxide in concentrates and uranium hexafluoride.  Denison is also engaged in mine decommissioning and environmental services through its Denison Environmental Services (“DES”) division.
Denison is a reporting issuer in all of the Canadian provinces. Denison’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “DML” and on the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”) under the symbol “DNN”.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Company recorded a net loss of $11,721,000 ($0.06 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared with a net loss of $6,368,000 ($0.07 per share) for the same period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the company recorded net income of $23,702,000 ($0.13 per share) compared with a loss of $11,728,000 ($0.13 per share) for the same period in 2006. The results for 2006 have been restated to reflect the change in accounting policy to expense exploration costs as discussed in Note 3 of the Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues totaled $9,411,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $39,939,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with $1,000 and $669,000 for the same periods in 2006. Expenses totaled $21,251,000 for the three months and $56,921,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 period compared with $6,025,000 and $14,858,000 for the same periods in 2006. Net other income (expense) totaled ($893,000) for the three month and $37,343,000 for the nine month periods in 2007 compared with ($344,000) and $2,461,000 for 2006.
Revenues
Uranium sales revenue for the third quarter totaled $7,396,000. Sales revenue includes the sale of 85,000 pounds of U3O8 production from the McClean Lake joint venture at an average sales price of $85.41 per pound and an adjustment to the amortization of the fair value increment related to long-term sales contracts from the acquisition of DMI in the amount of $503,000. Reported revenue is also impacted by the effect of foreign currency translations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, uranium sales revenue totaled $30,951,000 consisting of sales of 270,000 pounds of production from the McClean Lake joint venture at an average price of $75.21 per pound and the amortization of the fair value increment related to long term sales contracts from the acquisition of Denison Mines Inc. (“DMI”) in the amount of $1,512,000. Revenue also includes the sale of 75,000 pounds of production at the White Mesa mill at $130.00 per pound.
Denison markets its uranium from the McClean Lake joint venture jointly with AREVA Resources Canada Inc. (“ARC”). Generally, sales are made under several long-term contracts with nuclear utilities with a variety of pricing mechanisms. Denison’s share of current contracts sales volumes is set out in the table below:
Current Contracted Sales Volumes (Note 1)

Legacy Market Related
    0       140       210       0     96% of Spot
 
1.   Assumes customers take maximum quantities permitted by contract
Agreements with the AREVA Group call for production to be allocated first to the market related contracts with any surplus to be apportioned over the legacy contracts. The legacy base-escalated contracts have pricing formulas that result in sales prices well below current market prices. These contracts have been fair valued at December 1, 2006 and a liability was recorded in the amount of $14,848,000 which will be amortized through revenue over the life of the contracts.
New contracts for sales of the Company’s U.S. uranium inventory and production are expected to be under market related contracts. One such contract was completed with AREVA in March 2007, for the sale of 17% of the White Mesa mill production commencing in 2008 up to a maximum of 6.5 million pounds with a minimum of 2.5 million pounds by the end of 2011. The sales price is 95% of the published long-term price for the month prior to delivery with a floor price of $45.00.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
The Company has agreed to sell 250,000 pounds of U3O8 for delivery in early December, 2007 at a price equal to 96.6% of the average of the last spot price published by Ux Consulting LLC and Trade Tech LLC in November 2007. No other sales contracts are in place at this time.
During the quarter, the White Mesa mill completed a processing campaign of alternate feed materials on which a processing fee is paid. Processing revenue for the quarter was $68,000 and for the nine months totaled $2,479,000 (2006:$668,000). At September 30, 2007, approximately 10,000 tons of these types of alternate feed materials remained in stockpile.
At September 30, 2007, the Company held approximately 320,000 pounds of uranium produced from alternate feed with a market value based on the current quoted spot price of uranium of approximately $28,800,000
The Company continues to hold approximately 46,000 pounds of vanadium in inventory, as vanadium pregnant liquor, for future sale.
Revenue from the environmental services division was $1,443,000 for the three months and $3,391,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Revenue from the management contract with Uranium Participation Corporation was $504,000 for the three months and $3,117,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Uranium Production
Total uranium production for the Company from its Canadian and U.S. operations was 103,000 pounds for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 416,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The McClean Lake joint venture produced 385,000 pounds of uranium for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 1,169,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to production of 455,000 pounds and 1,121,000 pounds during the same periods in 2006. Denison’s 22.5% share of the 2007 production totaled 87,000 pounds during the three months and 264,000 pounds during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Uranium production at the White Mesa mill from alternate feed milling was 16,000 pounds for the three months and 153,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
In 2006, the Company recommenced active mining operations at a number of its U.S. uranium/vanadium mines in the Colorado Plateau district. Currently mining is underway at four locations on the Colorado Plateau and a fifth mine at the Henry Mountains complex. Mined ore is being stockpiled at the White Mesa mill with the milling of the ore scheduled to commence early in 2008. As of the end of September 30, 2007, a total of 43,000 tons of ore had been stockpiled at the mill.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months were $9,206,000 and $28,906,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $624,000 and $2,012,000 for the same periods in 2006. The expenses for the nine months include $18,351,000 related to mining operations in Canada; $6,537,000 related to processing operations in the U.S. and $3,341,000 related to environmental services expenses.
Sales Royalties and Capital Taxes
Sales royalties and capital taxes totaled $522,000 for the third quarter and $1,503,000 for the nine months. Denison pays a Saskatchewan basic uranium royalty of 4% of gross uranium sales from Saskatchewan production after receiving the benefit of a 1% Saskatchewan resource credit. Denison also pays Saskatchewan capital taxes based on the greater of 3.6% of gross uranium sales and capital tax otherwise computed under the Saskatchewan Corporation Capital Tax Act. For uranium production after January 1, 2007, the factor applied to gross uranium sales for Saskatchewan capital tax purposes was reduced to 3.3% with further reductions scheduled in 2007 and 2008. The Saskatchewan government also imposes a tiered royalty which ranges from 6% to 15% of gross uranium sales after recovery of mill and mine capital allowances which approximate capital costs. Denison has not paid tiered royalties in the past and has sufficient mill and mine capital and expansion allowances available or anticipated to shelter it from the tiered royalty at current uranium prices for at least two years.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
MINERAL PROPERTY EXPLORATION
Denison is engaged in uranium exploration, as both operator and non-operator of joint ventures and also on a 100% basis in Canada and Mongolia. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 exploration expenditures totaled $8,385,000 and totaled $16,914,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $3,950,000 and $9,266,000 for the corresponding periods in 2006.
A majority of the exploration expenditures during the period were spent in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. Denison is engaged in uranium exploration on advanced projects in this region of Canada as part of the AREVA operated McClean and Midwest joint ventures. A significant discovery, termed the Mae Zone and located northeast of the proposed Midwest open pit, was drilled this past winter. Denison is also participating in a total of 33 other exploration projects concentrating in the productive South East margin of the Athabasca basin. Denison is operator of two mid stage projects, the Moore Lake and the Wheeler River Joint Ventures, included in this portfolio. Denison’s share of exploration spending on its Canadian properties totaled $5,671,000 of which $5,605,000 was expensed in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and totaled $14,206,000 of which $13,602,000 was expensed in the statement of operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Exploration expenditures of $2,598,000 for the three month period and $3,048,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were spent in Mongolia on the Company’s joint venture and 100% owned properties. The Company has a 70% interest in the Gurvan Saihan Joint Venture (“GSJV”) in Mongolia. The other parties to the joint venture are the Mongolian government as to 15% and Geologorazvedka, a Russian government entity, as to 15%. Additional expenditures for development of the GSJV’s Hairhan and Haraat uranium deposits have also been incurred. Development work includes extensive resource delineation drilling, hydrological drilling, plant design and environmental studies.
The remaining expenditures of $182,000 for the three month period and $264,000 for the nine month period were spent on the Company’s other properties.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $3,138,000 for the three months and $9,598,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with $1,247,000 and $3,376,000 for the same periods in 2006. The increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of Denison Mines Inc. (“DMI”) effective December 1, 2006, a ramping up of the Company’s operations and an increase in public company expenses due to additional compliance costs. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for personnel, contract and professional services and other overhead expenditures.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income (expense) totaled ($893,000) for the three months and $37,343,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with ($344,000) and $2,461,000 for the same periods in 2006. The net expense in the third quarter is primarily due to foreign exchange losses. The net other income for the nine month period is primarily due to the disposition of portfolio investments.
Urizon Joint Venture
The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture with Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (“NFS”) for the pursuit of a U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) alternate feed program for the mill. This 50/50 joint venture is carried out through Urizon Recovery Systems, LLC (“Urizon”). The joint venture currently expects that a decision will be made by the DOE as to how it intends to proceed on the disposition of the material and that the joint venture will have an opportunity to propose the Urizon Program as a suitable disposition option for this feedstock. The accounts of Urizon are included in the Company’s financial statements on a proportionate consolidation basis.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
OUTLOOK FOR 2007
Mining and Production
Mining at the Sue E pit at McClean Lake in northern Saskatchewan is proceeding with completion of mining of the deposit expected in the first quarter of 2008. Stripping of the Sue B overburden commenced in June and the contractor completed this work in the third quarter. Mining of the Sue B deposit will follow completion of Sue E.
U3O8 production levels at McClean Lake in 2007 is expected to be 1.8 million pounds of which Denison’s share is 405,000 pounds. The ore grade processed for the first nine months has averaged 0.42% U3O8. Currently the ore being processed is a grade of 0.74% U3O8. Production is expected to increase next year to approximately 3.2 million pounds with Denison’s share being 720,000 pounds.
During the third quarter, the Company processed high-grade alternate feed materials at its White Mesa mill under its contracts with Cameco Corporation. The Company does not receive a recycling fee for these materials; however it is able to retain all of the proceeds received from the sale of the uranium produced. Uranium production from this material was only 16,000 pounds for the three months and 153,000 pounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, there was over 100,000 pounds U3O8 in process which will be packaged in the fourth quarter and there was approximately 3,650 tons of these high-grade materials at the mill to be processed, containing approximately 110,000 pounds of uranium. Uranium production at the White Mesa mill for 2007 from processing alternate feed material is anticipated to be about 300,000 pounds. The modernization program at the White Mesa mill is proceeding but completion is currently about 45 days later than the original schedule due to changes in scope of the program. The revised program includes modifications and upgrading of the mill process equipment, upgrading the entire mill process control system, and relining of tailings cell 4A. Primarily as a result of the scope changes, the projected cost of the mill modernization has increased from $15 to $21 million.
Mining operations on the Colorado Plateau are well underway with four mines in operation. Production from the Sunday, Pandora, Topaz and St. Jude mines is running at about 300 tons per day. At the Tony M mine within the Henry Mountains Complex, located in Utah, full operational permits have been received and production from this mine is underway and will ramp up to 300 tons per day in the first quarter of 2008. Rehabilitation work has begun at the Company’s Arizona 1 mine on the Arizona Strip located in northeastern Arizona. Ore production from this mine is anticipated by mid-2008. Production from these mines is being hauled to Denison’s White Mesa mill and is currently being stockpiled. Milling of conventional ore is scheduled for the end of the first quarter of 2008. At September 30, 2007, a total of 43,000 tons had been shipped to the mill.
The level of ore production is currently behind anticipated levels due largely to delays in permitting at Tony M and for ventilation shafts at the Colorado Plateau mines, as well as the impact of inexperienced mining crews. We now expect to have approximately 130,000 tons of material stockpiled before conventional ore production commences. While these issues are being addressed we anticipate having lower quantities of ore available for processing in 2008 which will impact 2008 production. As a result, with conventional ore production commencing in March 2008, the expectation that the uranium/vanadium ore from the Colorado Plateau will necessitate mill throughput at 1,500 tons per day to ensure economic optimization of vanadium and uranium recoveries and the timing of the mill refurbishment program, we now anticipate 2008 production to be 1.7 to 2.1 million pounds U3O8 and approximately 4 to 6 million pounds V2O5 as compared to previous estimates of 2.9 million pounds U3O8 and 4.0 million pounds V2O5.
We expect to sell 2.2 million pounds of U3O8 including 1.5 million pounds from U.S. production in 2008.
EXPLORATION
Athabasca Basin in Canada
In the Athabasca Basin, Denison is participating in 35 exploration projects, primarily located in the productive southeast part of the Basin and within open pit depths and trucking distance of the operating mills. Denison, together with ARC and Cameco Corporation, control the majority of the highly favourable geology in the prolific southeastern sector of the Basin. The Company’s projects in the Basin represent a good balance of grass roots, mid- stage and developed projects.
Near the McClean mill, joint venture partner ARC is operator of the Midwest, Wolly and McClean projects. At the Wolly project Denison has earned an initial 6.5% in the project and is earning up to a 22.5% interest in this project, which is one of the most prospective exploration projects in the basin.

DENISON MINES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, Unless Otherwise Noted)
Denison is participating in thirteen major drill programs during the current drilling season in the Basin. At the Midwest project where Denison maintains a 25.17% interest, operator ARC completed a late summer drill program testing the west extension of the Mae Zone. Over 3,000 meters of drilling was completed, and a new high grade structure was intersected, as previously reported. ARC is currently carrying out resource estimation work on the Mae Zone which is anticipated to be finalized in the fourth quarter.
Denison is operator on the Wheeler River, Moore Lake, Park Creek, Huard-Kirsch, Bell Lake, North Wedge and Crawford Lake joint ventures. On Denison’s operated and non-operated projects, a total of approximately 12,000 meters of drilling was carried out this year, most of it in this quarter. The last hole of the sixteen hole Wheeler River program, drilled at -75 degrees, intersected anomalous mineralization approximately 500 meters along strike to the northeast from previously reported mineralization in WR-214. Drill hole WR-242A intersected a 1.8 meter thick zone at the unconformity, from 353.98 to 355.78 meters, with a grade of 0.265% eU308. The location of this mineralization at this location is in a similar highly altered geological setting as WR-214 and has both expanded and enhanced the potential of the west fault bounded side of the quartzite ridge. Late in the summer, a drill crew was mobilized to the Moore Lake site. A seven hole program is currently underway to test targets at the Maverick Zone and to provide further information for a focused winter 2008 drill program
Denison’s exploration spending in 2007 in the Athabasca Basin is expected to total $15,500,000.
Southwest United States
In the United States, Denison is undertaking the permitting for an estimated 90,000 feet (28,000 meters) of drilling originally planned in 2007 to be carried out near existing operations. Permitting for this program is on-going and it is expected that drilling will now commence in 2008.
Mongolia
In Mongolia, Denison maintains a majority interest the Haraat and Hairhan deposits and a large number of exploration projects which have returned uraniferous intersections. A major 56,000 meter drill program was recently completed, and several discoveries were made on a number of the properties. The most significant was made at Hairhan, where a new zone of at least 5 meter thickness was located at depth under the north half of the main Hairhan deposit by widely spaced drilling on multiple holes in multiple profiles, Although generally lower grade, good permeable sands indicate potential for upgrading. This will be a major target for infill drilling in 2008. The resource at Hairhan currently stands at 7.9 million pounds U3O8 at grade of 0.076% eU3O8 classified as Indicated Resources, and 3.5 million pounds U3O8 at grade of 0.0867% eU3O8 classified as Inferred Resources. (See “Technical Report on the Uranium Exploration Properties in Mongolia” dated February 27, 2007 prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. available on the Company’s website or on SEDAR) Hydrological test work and pump well installations were installed late in the year at both Hairhan and Haraat as a preliminary step in the characterization of the hydrogeological regimes. The scoping study on the Haraat project will be completed by the end of this month.
Australia
Energy Metals Limited (“Energy Metals”), an Australian listed company (ASX-EME), continues to receive good results from its Bigrlyi joint venture near Alice Springs in Australia as announced by it on July 25, 2007. Denison owns an 11% equity interest in Energy Metals and is looking to further participate in advanced projects in Australia. Current JORC compliant resources on a 100% basis (indicated and inferred 0.05% U3O8 cut-off) total 14.3 million pounds U3O8 and 16.3 million pounds V2O5 mostly within 200m of the surface and potentially accessible via open pit mining. The current drilling program is identifying extensions to the known mineralization in addition to delineating new mineralized zones. Results to date indicate that an upgrade to the existing resources can be confidently expected.
Zambia
Denison completed its acquisition of Omega during the third quarter. Omega owns 100% of the Kariba Uranium Project covering 1,893 km2 in Zambia. Denison has recently initiated development drilling which is currently underway at the location of the proposed Dibwe open pit and will subsequently move to Mutanga. In addition, an RC drill is anticipated to arrive shortly and will commence a major 30,000 meter infill drilling and exploration program. An updated scoping study is underway and expected to be completed by the end of this year.

IMPACT OF ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 2007, the company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1530: “Comprehensive Income” which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income, defined as a change in value of net assets that is not due to owner activities, by introducing a new requirement to temporarily present certain gains and losses outside of net income and adopted CICA Handbook Section 3855: “Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement” establishes standards for the recognition, classification and measurement of financial instruments including the presentation of any resulting gains and losses. Under this Standard, assets classified as available-for-sale securities are revalued at the balance sheet date and gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (and not included in the income statement) until such time as the asset is disposed of or incurs a decline in fair value that is other than temporary. At such time, any gains or losses will then be realized and reclassified to the income statement. At September 30, 2007, the Company had certain long-term investments that were classified as available-for-sale securities under this new standard and an unrealized gain net of tax of $28,579,000 has been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
