Balance–June 30, 2022 9,592 162,693 172,285 
 
At June 30, 2022, the Company holds equity instruments consisting of shares and warrants in publicly traded companies and no debt instruments. Long-term equity instruments consist of warrants in publicly traded companies exercisable for a period of more than one year after the balance sheet date.  Investment in uranium  At June 30, 2022, the Company holds a total of 2,500,000 pounds of physical uranium as U3O8, acquired at a weighted average purchase price of $36.67 (USD$29.66) per pound U3O8, including purchase commissions, for a total cost of $91,674,000 (USD$74,140,000). The uranium is being held as a long-term investment. 
        Sale of investment and issuance of warrants on investment  
In 2021, the Company sold by private agreement (1) 32,500,000 common shares of GoviEx Uranium Inc. (“GoviEx”) and (2) 32,500,000 common share purchase warrants, entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share of GoviEx owned by Denison (“GoviEx Warrants”), for combined gross proceeds of $15,600,000. The proceeds from this transaction were allocated between the GoviEx common shares sold and the GoviEx Warrants issued on a relative fair value basis. The GoviEx Warrants entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of GoviEx owned by the Company at an exercise price $0.80, for 18 months after issuance (expiring in April 2023). 
 
The Company continues to hold 32,644,000 common shares of GoviEx. If the GoviEx Warrants are exercised in full, Denison will receive $26,000,000 and will transfer a further 32,500,000 GoviEx common shares to the warrant holders.  At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the GoviEx Warrants was estimated to be $1,625,000 ($0.05 per warrant), based on the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model – expected volatility of 82%, risk-free interest rate of 0.91%, dividend yield of 0% and an expected term of 16 months. 
 
At June 30, 2022, the fair value of the GoviEx Warrants is estimated to be $455,000 ($0.014 per warrant), based on the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model–expected volatility of 97%, risk-free interest rate of 3.09%, dividend yield of 0% and an expected term of 10 months.

On August 3, 2021, Denison completed the acquisition of 50% of JCU from UEX Corporation (“UEX”), for cash consideration of $20,500,000 plus transaction costs of $1,356,000. Denison’s acquisition of its 50% interest in JCU occurred immediately following UEX’s acquisition of all the outstanding shares of JCU from Overseas Uranium Resources Development Co., Limited (“OURD”) for cash consideration of $41,000,000.  Pursuant to Denison's agreement with UEX, Denison provided UEX with an interest-free 90-day term loan of $40,950,000 million (the "Term Loan") to facilitate UEX's purchase of JCU from OURD.  On the transfer of 50% of the shares in JCU from UEX to Denison, $20,500,000 of the amount drawn under the Term Loan was deemed repaid by UEX.  UEX repaid the remainder of the Term Loan in September 2021.    JCU is a private company that holds a portfolio of twelve uranium project joint venture interests in Canada, including a 10% interest in the WRJV, a 30.099% interest in the Millennium project (Cameco Corporation 69.901%), a 33.8118% interest in the Kiggavik project (Orano Canada Inc. 66.1882%), and a 34.4508% interest in the Christie Lake Project (UEX 65.5492%).  The following tables are summaries of the consolidated financial information of JCU on a 100% basis, taking into account adjustments made by Denison for equity accounting purposes (including fair value adjustments and differences in accounting policies).  Denison records its equity share of earnings (loss) in JCU one month in arrears (due to the information not yet being available), adjusted for any known material transactions that have occurred up to the period end date on which Denison is reporting.

Arrangement with Anglo Pacific Group PLC (“APG”) 
 
In February 2017, Denison closed an arrangement with APG under which Denison received an upfront payment in exchange for its right to receive specified future toll milling cash receipts from the MLJV under the current toll milling agreement with the CLJV from July 1, 2016 onwards. The up-front payment was based upon an estimate of the gross toll milling cash receipts to be received by Denison.  The APG Arrangement represents a contractual obligation of Denison to pay onward to APG any cash proceeds of future toll milling revenue earned by the Company related to the processing of specified Cigar Lake ore through the McClean Lake mill.  The deferred revenue balance represents a non-cash liability, which is adjusted as any toll milling revenue received by Denison is passed through to APG or any changes in Cigar Lake Phase 1 and Phase 2 toll milling production estimates are recognized.  In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has recognized $3,976,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue based on Cigar Lake toll milling production in the six-month period (9,105,000 pounds U3O8 on a 100% basis). The drawdown in the six months ending June 30, 2022 includes a cumulative increase in revenue for prior periods of $1,444,000 resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling drawdown rate in the first quarter of 2022. The true-up adjustment was predominantly driven by a change in the estimated timing of the milling of the Cigar Lake ore, following an announcement from the operators of the Cigar Lake mine that mine production would be reduced from previous planned amounts of 18 million pounds U3O8 per year to 15 
 11 
 
  
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
million pounds U3O8 per year in 2022 and 2023, and then to 13.5 million pounds U3O8 per year thereafter. Under IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the change in the estimated timing of the toll milling of the CLJV ore resulted in an increase to the implied financing component of the toll milling transaction, increasing the total deferred revenue to be recognized over the life of the toll milling contract as well as the deferred revenue drawdown rate. The updated drawdown rate has been applied retrospectively to all pounds produced for the CLJV since the inception of the APG arrangement, resulting in the current period true-up.   Production at the Cigar Lake mine and the McClean Lake mill, was temporarily suspended at the beginning of 2021, owing to the shut-down of the Cigar Lake mine in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The CLJV restarted ore production at the Cigar Lake mine in April 2021 and toll-milling production at McClean Lake restarted in May 2021, with packaged uranium production resuming in early June 2021.    Accordingly, for the comparative six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $719,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue comprised of $658,000 based on Cigar Lake toll milling production in the second quarter (2,542,000 pounds U3O8 on a 100% basis) and a retroactive $61,000 increase in revenue resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling drawdown rate which was also recorded in the second quarter of 2021. 
 
The current portion of the deferred revenue liability at June 2022 reflects Denison’s estimate of Cigar Lake toll milling over the next 12 months. This assumption is based on current mill packaged production expectations and is reassessed on a quarterly basis.

Site Restoration: Elliot Lake  The Elliot Lake uranium mine was closed in 1992 and capital works to decommission this site were completed in 1997. The Company is responsible for monitoring the Tailings Management Areas at the Denison and Stanrock sites and for treatment of water discharged from these areas.  
 
Spending on restoration activities at the Elliot Lake site is funded from monies in the Elliot Lake Reclamation Trust fund (see note 9).  Site Restoration: McClean Lake Joint Venture and Midwest Joint Venture 
 
In January 2022, the CNSC approved an amendment to the operating license for the MLJV and MWJV Operations, which allows for the expansion of the McClean Lake Tailings Management Facility (“TMF”), along with the associated revised PDP and cost estimate. The updated PDP was used to update the reclamation obligation for McClean Lake and Midwest, resulting in a reduction in the reclamation obligation of $3,303,000. As at June 30, 2022, the Company’s estimate of the undiscounted amount of future reclamation costs, in current year dollars, is $22,072,000 (December 31, 2021 - $24,617,000). The majority of the reclamation costs are expected to be incurred between 2041 and 2059. Revisions to the reclamation liabilities for the MLJV and MWJV are recognized on the balance sheet as adjustments to the assets associated with the sites.  Under the Saskatchewan Mineral Industry Environmental Protection Regulations (1996), the Company is required to provide its pro-rata share of financial assurances to the province of Saskatchewan relating to future decommissioning and reclamation plans that have been filed and approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. The updated reclamation plan results in a reduction in the Company’s pro-rata share of the required financial assurances from $24,135,000 to $22,972,000. As at June 30, 2022, the Company has provided irrevocable standby letters of credit, from a chartered bank, in favour of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, totalling $22,972,000.   Refer to note 9 for details regarding a further amendment to the letters of credit facility that occurred in April 2022.

  15.  SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT LIABILITIES  
In connection with the public offerings of units in February 2021 and March 2021 (see note 17), the Company issued 15,796,975 and 39,215,000 share purchase warrants to unit holders, respectively. The February 2021 warrants entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of USD$2.00 for 24 months after issuance (expires February 2023). The March 2021 warrants entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of USD$2.25 for 24 months after issuance (expires March 2023).  Since these warrants are exercisable in U.S. dollars (“USD”), which differs from the Company’s CAD functional currency, they are classified as derivative liabilities and are required to be carried as liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”).  When the fair value of the warrants is revalued at each reporting period, the change in the liability is recorded through net profit or loss in Other Income (expense).  February 2021 Warrants  At December 31, 2021, the fair value of each February 2021 warrant was estimated to be $0.4032, using a USD to CAD foreign exchange rate of 0.7888 and incorporated the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model – expected volatility of 84%, risk-free interest rate of 0.91%, dividend yield of 0% and an expected term of 1.13 years.  At June 30, 2022, the fair value of each February 2021 warrant is estimated to be $0.0554, using a USD to CAD foreign exchange rate of 0.7760 and incorporating the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model – expected volatility of 71%, risk-free interest rate of 3.09%, dividend yield of 0% and an expected term of 0.64 years.  March 2021 Warrants 
 
At December 31, 2021, the fair value of each March 2021 warrant was estimated to be $0.3563, using a USD to CAD foreign exchange rate of 0.7888 and incorporated the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model – expected volatility of 82%, risk-free interest rate of 0.91%, dividend yield of 0% and an expected term of 1.22 years.  At June 30, 2022, the fair value of each March 2021 warrant is estimated to be $0.0696, using a USD to CAD foreign exchange rate of 0.7760 and incorporating the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model – expected volatility of 79%, risk-free interest rate of 3.09%, dividend yield of 0% and an expected term of 0.72 years.

Letters of Credit Facility 
 
In January 2022, the Company entered into an amending agreement for its letters of credit facility with BNS (the “2022 Facility”). Under the amendment, the maturity date of the 2022 Facility has been extended to January 31, 2023.  All other terms of the 2022 Facility (tangible net worth covenant, pledged cash, and security for the facility) remain unchanged from the previous facility.    In April 2022, the Company entered into a further amendment with respect to the letters of credit facility. Refer to note 9 for details. 
 
As of June 30, 2022, the 2022 Facility provided the Company with access to credit up to $22,972,000 (the use of which is restricted to non-financial letters of credit in support of reclamation obligations) subject to letter of credit fees of 2.40% (0.40% on the $7,972,000 covered by pledged cash collateral) and standby fees of 0.75%.

 Share Issue 
 
On September 16, 2021, the Company filed a short form base shelf prospectus (‘2021 Shelf Prospectus’) with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories in Canada and in the United States. Under the 2021 Shelf Prospectus, the Company is allowed to issue securities, in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and as set forth in the 2021 Shelf Prospectus, for an aggregate offering amount of up to $250,000,000 during the 25 month period ending on October 16, 2023.   On September 28, 2021, Denison entered into an equity distribution agreement providing for an ATM equity offering program qualified by a prospectus supplement to the 2021 Shelf Prospectus (“2021 ATM Program"). The 2021 ATM Program will allow Denison, through its agents, to, from time to time, offer and sell, in Canada and the United States, such number of common shares as would have an aggregate offering price of up to USD$50,000,000.  
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 4,238,600 shares under the 2021 ATM Program. The common shares were issued at an average price of $2.02 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,563,000. The Company also recognized issue costs of $271,000 related to these ATM share issuances, which includes $265,000 of commissions and $6,000 associated with the maintenance of the 2021 Shelf Prospectus and 2021 ATM Program. In total, the Company has issued 8,078,900 shares under the 2021 ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds of $16,538,000. 
 
Flow-Through Share Issues  The Company finances a portion of its exploration programs through the use of flow-through share issuances. Canadian income tax deductions relating to these expenditures are claimable by the investors and not by the Company. 
 
As at June 30, 2022, the Company estimates that it has incurred $5,381,000 of expenditures towards its obligation to spend $8,000,000 on eligible exploration expenditures by the end of fiscal 2022 due to the issuance of flow-through shares in March 2021.  The Company renounced the income tax benefits of this issue in February 2022, with an effective date of renunciation to its subscribers of December 31, 2021.

 22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
 
 Uranium Participation Corporation 
 
UPC was a publicly listed company which invested substantially all of its assets in uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) and uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”). The Company had no ownership interest in UPC but received fees for management services it provided and commissions from the purchase and sale of U3O8 and UF6 by UPC.    The Company entered into a management services agreement (“MSA”) with UPC effective on April 1, 2019 with a term of five years (the “Term”).  Under the MSA, Denison received the following management fees from UPC: a) a base fee of $400,000 per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments; b) a variable fee equal to (i) 0.3% per annum of UPC’s total assets in excess of $100 million and up to and including $500 million, and (ii) 0.2% per annum of UPC’s total assets in excess of $500 million; c) a fee, at the discretion of the Board, for on-going monitoring or work associated with a transaction or arrangement (other than a financing, or the acquisition of or sale of U3O8 or UF6); and d) a commission of 1.0% of the gross value of any purchases or sales of U3O8 or UF6 or gross interest fees payable to UPC in connection with any uranium loan arrangements. 
 
On July 19, 2021, UPC and Sprott Asset Management LP completed the UPC Transaction and the MSA between Denison and UPC was terminated in accordance with the termination provisions therein. As a result, Denison received a termination payment from UPC of $5,848,000 in July 2021. Following the completion of the UPC Transaction, UPC was no longer considered a related party of Denison.

  23.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS   
IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:   
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
 Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and 
 Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data. 
 
The fair value of financial instruments which trade in active markets, such as share and warrant equity instruments,  is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used to value financial assets held by the Company is the current closing price. Warrants that do not trade in active markets have been valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Debt instruments have been valued using the effective interest rate for the period that the Company expects to hold the instrument and not the rate to maturity.  Except as otherwise disclosed, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, restricted cash and cash equivalents and debt obligations approximate their carrying values as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments, or the variable interest rate associated with the instruments, or the fixed interest rate of the instruments being similar to market rates.  During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 and there were no changes in valuation techniques.

 Specific Legal Matters  Mongolia Mining Division Sale – Arbitration Proceedings with Uranium Industry  In November 2015, the Company sold all of its mining assets and operations located in Mongolia to Uranium Industry a.s (“UI”) pursuant to an amended and restated share purchase agreement (the “GSJV Agreement”). The primary assets at that time were the exploration licenses for the Hairhan, Haraat, Gurvan Saihan and Ulzit projects. As consideration for the sale per the GSJV Agreement, the Company received cash consideration of USD$1,250,000 prior to closing and the rights to receive additional contingent consideration of up to USD$12,000,000.  In September 2016, the Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia (“MRAM”) formally issued mining license certificates for all four projects, triggering Denison’s right to receive contingent consideration of USD$10,000,000 (collectively, the “Mining License Receivable”). The original due date for payment of the Mining License Receivable by UI was November 16, 2016. The required payments for the Mining License Receivable, as amended pursuant to a subsequent extension agreement executed by UI and the Company in 2016, were not made.  The Company’s receivable, and the interest thereon, is fully provided for.   The Company commenced arbitration with respect to the unpaid amounts, and the final award was rendered by an arbitration panel on July 27, 2020, with the panel finding in favour of Denison and ordering UI to pay the Company USD$10,000,000 plus interest at a rate of 5% per annum from November 16, 2016, plus certain legal and arbitration costs.    In January 2022, the Company executed a Repayment Agreement with UI (the “Repayment Agreement”). Under the terms of the Repayment Agreement, UI has agreed to make scheduled payments on account of the Arbitration

Award, plus additional interest and fees, through a series of quarterly installments and annual milestone payments until December 31, 2025. The total amount due to Denison under the Repayment Agreement is approximately USD$16,000,000 inclusive of additional interest to be earned over the term of the agreement at a rate of 6.5% per annum. The Repayment Agreement includes customary covenants and conditions in favour of Denison, including certain restrictions on UI’s ability to take on additional debt, in consideration for Denison’s deferral of enforcement of the Arbitration Award while UI is in compliance with its obligations under the Repayment Agreement.   During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received USD$2,200,000 from UI, of which a portion relates to reimbursement of legal and other expenses incurred by Denison, resulting in the recognition of income of $2,713,000 in the period.
