NPV and IRR are calculated to the start of construction activities for the Phoenix operation and excludes $100 million in pre-FID expenditures. Post-tax NPV, IRR and payback period are based on the "adjusted Post-tax" scenario, which includes the benefit of entity level tax attributes which are expected to be available and used to reduce taxable income from the Phoenix operation. See Denison's AIF dated Mar. 30, 2026 for details.
All-in cost is estimated on a pre-tax basis and includes all project operating costs, capital costs post-FID, and decommissioning costs divided by the estimated number of pounds U3O8to be produced.

release dated Nov. 6, 2023
All-in cost is estimated on a pre-tax basis and includes all project operating costs and capital costs divided by the estimated number of finished pounds U3O8produced.
NPV and IRR are calculated based on assessed "high-case" uranium price, to the start of pre-production activities.
Post-tax NPV attributable to Denison's then 66.90% interest is estimated to be between
$72 million (base-case) and $109 million ($65/lb high-case).
Post-tax IRR attributable to Denison's then 66.90% interest is estimated to be between 30.4% (base-case) and
38.9% ($65/lb high-case).
