About this update from Denison Mines Corp.

[{"type":"text","content":"   TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2023 /CNW/ - Denison Mines Corp. ('Denison' or the 'Company') (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the recovered solution management phase of the Phoenix in-situ recovery ('ISR') Feasibility Field Test ('FFT') at the Company's 95% owned Wheeler River project ('Wheeler River' or the 'Project').  The FFT was highlighted by the recovery of 14,400 lbs U3O8 dissolved in solution generated during the leaching and neutralization phases of the FFT in late 2022. The solution recovered during the operation of these phases was stored on site in accordance with permit conditions and in anticipation of the recovered solution management phase of the FFT. This phase was initiated during the first half of 2023 and involves the treatment of the recovered solution via an on-site purpose-built treatment system. Following treatment, a uranium bearing mineralized precipitate and a treated effluent were produced. The treated effluent was tested to ensure compliance with permit conditions before being injected into a designated subsurface area. The mineralized precipitates have been recovered from the process and are safely stored on surface in accordance with permit conditions. Kevin Himbeault, Denison's Vice President Operations & Regulatory Affairs, commented, \"The completion of the recovered solution management phase of the FFT has allowed Denison to demonstrate our operational capabilities from start to finish of the ISR mining process – from the construction and commissioning of the FFT facilities and development of the wellfield, to control of mining solutions, recovery of uranium bearing solutions, neutralization of the portion of the ore zone used for the FFT, and finally the treatment of solutions for safe discharge to the environment and storage. We are proud of our team of operators and technical personnel for the safe execution of the entire FFT program.\" Completion of the Recovered Solution Management Phase The recovered solution management phase of the FFT commenced in April 2023 with the set-up and commissioning of the solids management and water treatment circuit. Approximately 560 m3 of recovered solution plus wash water used for cleaning of storage tanks and site equipment were processed duri...
