[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, May 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Denison Mines Corp. ('Denison' or the 'Company') (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) today filed its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion & Analysis ('MD&A') for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Both documents will be available on the Company's website (at www.denisonmines.com), SEDAR+ (at www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (at www.sec.gov/edgar).

With 2.2 million pounds U3O8 in physical uranium holdings on hand, a strong cash balance, and no debt, Denison remains in an enviable financial position – able to fund both (i) our pre-Final Investment Decision ('FID') investments in Phoenix and (ii) important potential future growth initiatives. At our McClean Lake Joint Venture ('MLJV') with Orano Canada, we are expecting 2025 to be a notable year with the commencement of mining at the McClean North deposit using the MLJV's patented Surface Access Borehole Resource Extraction ('SABRE') mining method. Thus far this year, site preparation activities have recommenced and we are expecting mining to commence in the coming months. In addition to our planned investments ...
