INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
(Unaudited - Expressed in CAD dollars unless otherwise noted)

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Denison Mines Corp. (“DMC”) and its subsidiary companies and joint arrangements (collectively, “Denison” or the “Company”) are engaged in uranium mining related activities, which can include acquisition, exploration and development of uranium bearing properties, extraction, processing and selling of uranium.

The Company has a 90.0% interest in the Wheeler River Joint Venture (“WRJV”), a 66.71% interest in the Waterbury Lake Limited Partnership (“WLULP”), a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake Joint Venture (“MLJV”) (which includes the McClean Lake mill) and a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Joint Venture (“MWJV”), each of which are located in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The McClean Lake mill is contracted to provide toll milling services to the Cigar Lake Joint Venture (“CLJV”) under the terms of a toll milling agreement between the parties (see note 10). In addition, the Company has varying ownership interests in a number of other development and exploration projects located in Canada.

The Company provides mine decommissioning and other services (collectively “environmental services”) to third parties through its Closed Mines group and is also the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly-listed investment holding company formed to invest substantially all of its assets in uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) and uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”). The Company has no ownership interest in UPC but receives fees for the various management services it provides to UPC.

DMC is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered head office is 40 University Avenue, Suite 1100, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 1T1.

Risk and Uncertainty

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, the Company’s disclosed business and operational plans for fiscal 2020. The length or severity of these disruptions are unknown at this point in time. The significant potential social and economic disruptions that have emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic include (i) restrictions that governments impose to address the COVID-19 outbreak, (ii) restrictions that the Company and its contractors and subcontractors impose to ensure the safety of employees and others, (iii) shortages and / or unexpected sickness of employees, (iv) unavailability of contractors and subcontractors, (v) interruption of supplies from third parties upon which the Company relies, and (vi) unusually high levels of volatility in capital markets.

Disruptions of this nature have necessitated a change in the Company’s business plans for 2020 and they may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Such adverse effects could be rapid and unexpected. Management is closely monitoring the situation and is actively adapting work plans to mitigate adverse effects where possible.

In November 2016, Denison completed the purchase of an 80% interest in the Hook-Carter property, located in the southwestern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan, from ALX Uranium Corp (“ALX”), with ALX retaining a 20% interest.

Under terms in the agreement, Denison agreed to fund ALX’s share of the first $12,000,000 in expenditures on the property. As at September 30, 2020, the Company has spent $6,716,000 on the project since its acquisition in November 2016 (December 31, 2019: $6,712,000).

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Moon Lake South

In January 2016, the Company entered into an option agreement with CanAlaska Uranium Ltd (“CanAlaska”) to earn an interest in CanAlaska’s Moon Lake South project, located in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. Under the terms of the option, Denison earns an initial 51% interest in the project by spending $200,000 by December 31, 2017 and it increases its interest to 75% by spending an additional $500,000 by December 31, 2020.

In March 2020, the Company completed the requirement to spend $700,000 under the option and earned a 75% interest in the project.

Talbot Lake

In June 2020, the Company closed an agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Talbot Lake property to Argo Gold Inc (“Argo Gold”). At closing, Denison received cash consideration of $135,000 and 1,350,000 common shares of Argo Gold that were fair valued at $270,000. The shares are subject to a four month hold. The Company has recognized a gain on sale of $405,000 in conjunction with the sale.

Under the terms of the agreement, Denison has also received a 2% net smelter royalty on the property and it is entitled to receive an additional milestone payment, in cash or shares, if the property produces a resource estimate that meets certain specified amounts in the agreement.

Waterbury Lake

In June 2020, the Company increased its interest in the WLULP (and the Waterbury Lake property) from 66.57% to 66.71% under the terms of the dilution provisions in the agreements governing the project (see note 20).

10. DEFERRED REVENUE

The deferred revenue balance consists of:

		At September 30		At December 31
(in thousands of CAD dollars)		2020		2019

Deferred revenue – pre-sold toll milling:
CLJV toll milling – APG	$	37,420	$	36,321
	$	37,420	$	36,321

Deferred revenue-by balance sheet presentation:
Current	$	4,597	$	4,580
Non-current		32,823		31,741
	$	37,420	$	36,321

The deferred revenue liability continuity summary is as follows:

Arrangement with Anglo Pacific Group (“APG”) PLC

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.

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has recognized $1,210,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue (September 30, 2019: $3,243,000), based on Cigar Lake toll milling production of 4,550,000 pounds U308 on a 100% basis (September 30, 2019: 12,645,000 pounds U308). The drawdown for the nine months includes a retroactive $59,000 increase in revenue (September 30, 2019: retroactive $26,000 increase in revenue) resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling drawdown rate in the first and second quarter of 2020.

Production of Cigar Lake mine ore at the McClean Lake mill was temporarily discontinued during the last week of March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and resumed in September 2020. The current portion of the deferred revenue liability at September 2020 reflects an assumption that the next 12 months of production will be at annualized rates of 18 million pounds U3O8 on a 100% basis.

11. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Share Issues

In April 2020, the Company completed a public offering of 28,750,000 common shares at a price of USD$0.20 per share for gross proceeds of $8,041,000 (USD$5,750,000). The offering included the full exercise of an over-allotment option of 3,750,000 common shares granted to the underwriters.

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 September 30, 2020, the Company estimates that it has incurred $2,686,000 of expenditures towards its obligation to spend $4,715,000 on eligible exploration expenditures by the end of fiscal 2020 as a result of the issuance of flow-through shares in December 2019. Under proposed legislative changes drafted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time to spend on eligible exploration expenditures may be increased by an additional twelve months to the end of fiscal 2021. At present, the legislative changes have not been enacted and the Company intends to complete its flow-through spending obligation by the end of fiscal 2020.

The Company renounced the income tax benefits of the December 2019 issue in February 2020, with an effective date of renunciation to its subscribers of December 31, 2019. In conjunction with the renunciation, the flow-through share premium liability at December 31, 2019 has been extinguished and a deferred tax recovery was recognized in the first quarter of 2020 (see notes 13 and 21).

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Uranium Participation Corporation

The current management services agreement (“MSA”) with UPC became effective on April 1, 2019 and has a term of five years (the “Term”). Under the MSA, Denison receives 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.

The MSA may be terminated during the Term by Denison upon the provision of 180 days written notice. The MSA may be terminated during the Term by UPC (i) in the event of a material breach, (ii) within 90 days of certain events surrounding a change of both of the individuals serving as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of UPC, and / or a change of control of Denison, or (iii) upon the provision of 30 days written notice and, subject to certain exceptions, a cash payment to Denison of an amount equal to the base and variable management fees that would otherwise be payable to Denison (calculated based on UPC’s current uranium holdings at the time of termination) for the lesser period of a) three years, or b) the remaining term of the MSA.

The following transactions were incurred with UPC for the periods noted:

		Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30

At September 30, 2020, accounts receivable includes $350,000 (December 31, 2019: $236,000) due from UPC with respect to the fees indicated above.

Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”)

As at September 30, 2020, KEPCO, through its subsidiaries including KHNP Canada Energy Ltd., holds 58,284,000 shares of Denison representing a share interest of approximately 9.31% and is also the largest member of a consortium of investors that make up Korea Waterbury Uranium Limited Partnership (“KWULP”). The Waterbury Lake property is owned by Denison and KWULP through their respective interests in Waterbury Lake Uranium Corporation (“WLUC”) and WLULP.

In June 2020, Denison funded a portion of the approved fiscal 2020 program for Waterbury Lake which has had the impact of further diluting KWULP’s interest in the WLULP. As a result, Denison earned an additional 0.14% interest in the WLULP, increasing Denison’s interest to 66.71% from 66.57%. The additional interest has been accounted for using an effective date of June 30, 2020 and has resulted in Denison recording its increased pro-rata share of the assets and liabilities of Waterbury Lake, the majority of which relates to an addition to mineral property assets of $100,000.

Other

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred investor relations, administrative service fees and certain pass-through expenses of $191,000 (September 30, 2019: $199,000) with Namdo Management Services Ltd, which shares a common director with Denison. These services were incurred in the normal course of operating a public company. At September 30, 2020, an amount of $nil (December 31, 2019: $nil) was due to this company.

The deferred tax recovery includes the recognition of previously unrecognized Canadian tax assets of $1,252,000 relating to the February 2020 renunciation of the tax benefits associated with the Company’s $4,715,000 flow-through share issue in December 2019.

22. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 and there were no changes in valuation techniques.

23. CONTINGENCIES

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.

On September 20, 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.

Under an extension agreement between UI and the Company, the payment due date of the Mining License Receivable was extended from November 16, 2016 to July 16, 2017 (the “Extension Agreement”). As consideration for the extension, UI agreed to pay interest on the Mining License Receivable amount at a rate of 5% per year, payable monthly up to July 16, 2017 and they also agreed to pay a USD$100,000 instalment amount towards the balance of the Mining License Receivable amount. The required payments were not made.

On February 24, 2017, the Company served notice to UI that it was in default of its obligations under the GSJV Agreement and the Extension Agreement and on December 12, 2017, the Company filed a Request for Arbitration between the Company and UI under the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration. Hearings in front of the arbitration panel were held in December 2019. 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.

Denison commenced arbitration with Orano Canada and OURD in October 2019, with Denison’s initial written submission made on March 9, 2020.

Proceedings in front of the arbitration panel were held in October 2020, and the parties have exchanged final written post-hearing submissions.
