 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

 

(Unaudited - Expressed in CAD dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

 

1.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, development and mining of uranium bearing properties, as well as the processing and selling of, and investing in, uranium.

 

Denison’s property interests are focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company has an effective 95.0% interest in the Wheeler River Joint Venture (“WRJV”), which owns the Company’s flagship Wheeler River Uranium Project. Denison has direct ownership interests in properties covering ~457,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin region, including a 70.55% interest in the Waterbury Lake Uranium Limited Partnership (“WLULP”), a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Joint Venture (“MWJV”) and a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake Joint Venture (“MLJV”) (which includes the McClean Lake mill and the McClean North mine. 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). The McClean North mine uses the MLJV’s patented Surface Access Borehole Resource Extraction (“SABRE”) mining method and commenced production in 2025.

 

Through its 50% ownership of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited (“JCU”), Denison holds further indirect interests in various uranium project joint ventures in Canada, including the Millennium project (JCU 30.099%), the Kiggavik project (JCU 33.8118%), and the Christie Lake project (JCU 34.4508%). See note 7 for details.

 

DMC is established 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.

 

2.STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars (“CAD”).

 

These financial statements were approved by the board of directors for issue on May 12, 2026.

 

3.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

 

Material Accounting Policies

 

The material accounting policies followed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except as noted below.

 

The Company has considered the amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 and has concluded that these amendments have no impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Policies

 

On February 24, 2026 the Company announced the Final Investment Decision (“FID”) for the Phoenix in-situ Recovery Mine and its plans to commence construction. The decision to commence construction of Phoenix reflects management’s assessment that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project has been proven. Accordingly, during construction, equipment purchases and expenditures on construction of mining and processing facilities will be capitalized and classified as assets under construction. These costs include: the purchase price of goods and materials, installation costs, site preparation costs, survey costs, freight charges, transportation insurance costs, duties, testing and preparation charges and estimated costs of dismantling and removing items and restoring the site on which it is located.

 

5

 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Applicable borrowing costs are capitalized to qualifying assets and are included in assets under construction. Qualifying assets are assets that take a substantial period of time to prepare for the Company’s intended use. Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.

 

Assets under construction are not considered to be available for use and are therefore not subject to depreciation. When an asset becomes available for use, its costs are transferred from assets under construction into the appropriate asset classification such as mineral properties, or property, plant and equipment. Depreciation commences once the asset is complete and available for use.

 

Any costs incurred during the construction of Phoenix that are not eligible for capitalization will be expensed as Mine Development Costs including costs associated with engagement activities and payments under impact benefit agreements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements that affect the amounts reported. The critical accounting estimates and judgements utilized in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Changes in Accounting Standards not yet effective

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements” (“IFRS 18”) replacing IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, disclosures on management-defined performance measures, and requirements to improve the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements. As a result of IFRS 18, amendments to IAS 7 were also issued to require that entities use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities and also to remove presentation alternatives for interest and dividends paid and received. Similarly, amendments to IAS 33 “Earnings per Share” were issued to permit disclosure of additional earnings per share figures using any other component of the statement of profit or loss, provided the numerator is a total or subtotal defined under IFRS 18. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on its financial statements.

 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Investment in equity and debt instruments

 

At March 31, 2026, the Company holds equity instruments consisting of shares and warrants in publicly traded companies as well as a strategic investment in F3 Uranium Corp. (“F3”) in the form of convertible debt instruments.

 

Investment in associates

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company has investments in two entities, whereby significant influence can be demonstrated, and the investments are accounted for as investment in associates.

 

In October 2024, Denison completed a transaction with Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. (“Foremost”), whereby Denison became a significant shareholder in Foremost in exchange for granting Foremost a multi-phase option to acquire up to 70% of Denison’s interest in 10 non-core uranium exploration properties.

 

In January 2025, Denison closed a transaction with Cosa Resources Corp (“Cosa”), whereby Denison became a significant shareholder in Cosa in exchange for Cosa’s acquisition of a 70% interest in Denison's Murphy Lake North, Darby, and Packrat properties (collectively the “Cosa Transaction”). Under the Cosa Transaction, Cosa is required to issue Denison a further $2,250,000 in deferred consideration shares within a five-year period beginning on the closing date. On January 14, 2026, Denison received 1,960,000 common shares in Cosa valued at $762,000 to reduce the deferred consideration shares owing from $2,250,000 to $1,488,000.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in Foremost and Cosa as investments in an associate using the equity method, as it has determined it has significant influence over both companies, due to Denison’s shareholdings and board representation rights. Denison records its equity share of earnings (loss) in Foremost and Cosa one quarter 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.

 

As at March 31, 2026, based on the most recent publicly available information, the Company owns 15.16% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Foremost (holding 2,462,410 Foremost common shares) and its equity loss pick up of Foremost of $833,000 offset by a dilution gain of $985,000 for a net gain of $152,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 – equity pickup loss of $391,000).

 

As at March 31, 2026, based on the most recent publicly available information the Company owns 18.08% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Cosa (holding 20,990,864 Cosa common shares) and its equity loss pick up of Cosa, amounted of $163,000 and a dilution loss of $205,000 for a total loss of $368,000 for the three months ended March  31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - $Nil).

 

Investment in uranium

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company holds a total of 1,700,000 pounds of physical uranium as uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8“) at a cost of $62,487,000 (US$50,539,000 or US$29.73 per pound of U3O8) and market value of $198,601,000 (US$142,715,000 or US$83.95 per pound of U3O8). At December 31, 2025, the Company held a total of 1,700,000 pounds of physical uranium as uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) at a cost of $62,487,000 (US$50,539,000 or US$29.73 per pound of U3O8) and market value of $190,276,000 (US$138,615,000 or US$81.55 per pound of U3O8).

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company has entered into commitments to sell 1,350,000 pounds of U3O8 throughout 2026 and 2027. Deliveries for 1,100,000 pounds of U3O8 are scheduled to occur in the next twelve months and the applicable portion of the investment value is classified as a current asset.

(1)Subsequent to February 24, 2026, $26,900,000 in deposits made in prior years for Phoenix long-lead capital items that had been included in Plant and Equipment – Owned are now separated out and presented with Assets under Construction.

 

Plant and Equipment – Owned

 

The Company’s Plant and Equipment is predominantly comprised of (a) its 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake mill through its ownership interest in the MLJV (including various infrastructure, building and machinery assets), (b) exploration equipment and (c) office-related equipment.

 

Plant and Equipment – Right-of-Use

 

The Company has included the cost of various right-of-use (“ROU”) assets within its plant and equipment ROU carrying value amount. These assets consist of building, vehicle and office equipment leases. The majority of the asset value is attributable to the building lease assets for the Company’s office in Toronto and warehousing space in Saskatoon.

 

Assets under Construction

 

On February 19, 2026 the Company received its approval to construct the Phoenix ISR Uranium mine. During construction, expenditures incurred on construction of mining and processing facilities are capitalized and classified as assets under construction. These costs include: the purchase price of goods and materials, installation costs, site preparation costs, survey costs, freight charges, transportation insurance costs, duties, testing and preparation charges, capitalized borrowing costs and estimated costs of dismantling and removing items and restoring the site on which it is located.

 

Mineral Properties

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company has various interests in development, evaluation and exploration projects located in Saskatchewan, Canada, which are either held directly, or through contractual arrangements. The properties with significant carrying values are Wheeler River, Waterbury Lake, Midwest, Mann Lake, Wolly, Johnston Lake and McClean Lake, which together represent $181,702,000, or 90.7%, of the total mineral property carrying value as at March 31, 2026.

 

On February 24, 2026, the Company announced the FID for the Phoenix in-situ Recovery Mine and plans to commence construction in March 2026. The decision to commence construction of Phoenix reflects management’s assessment that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project has been proven. As such, the Phoenix project is no longer accounted for under IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, but rather under IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment. As required under IFRS 6, immediately before exiting the exploration and evaluation phase, the Company performed an impairment test to assess the recoverability of the Wheeler River mineral property asset and concluded that there was no impairment.

Arrangement with Ecora Resources PLC (“Ecora”)

 

In February 2017, Denison closed an arrangement with Ecora pursuant to which, Denison received an upfront payment of $43,500,000 in exchange for its right to receive specified future toll milling cash receipts from the MLJV earned by the Company related to the processing of specified Cigar Lake ore through the McClean Lake mill under the current toll milling agreement with the CLJV from July 1, 2016 onwards (the “Ecora Arrangement”). The up-front payment was based upon an estimate of the gross toll milling cash receipts to be received by Denison discounted at a rate of 8.50%.

 

The Ecora Arrangement represents a contractual obligation of Denison to pay onward to Ecora any cash proceeds of future toll milling revenue earned by the Company related to the processing of the 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 Ecora, or any changes in Cigar Lake Phase 1 and Phase 2 tolling milling production estimates are recognized.

 

11

 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $1,106,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue, based on Cigar Lake toll milling production of 4,953,000 pounds U3O8 (100% basis). The draw-down in 2026 includes a cumulative decrease in revenue for prior periods of $132,000 resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling rates during 2026.

 

For the comparative three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $1,375,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue, based on Cigar Lake toll milling production of 5,030,000 pounds U3O8 (100% basis). The draw-down in 2025 included a cumulative decrease in revenue for prior periods of $113,000 resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling rates during 2025.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized accretion expense of $736,000, including a true-up adjustment of $54,000 due to the change in the estimated timing of milling of the Cigar Lake ore (March 31, 2025 – $678,000 including a $41,000 true-down adjustment).

 

The current portion of the deferred revenue liability 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.

 

Uranium Prepayment

 

In 2025, Denison entered a uranium sales contract with a third party which included upfront cash prepayments. Under this arrangement Denison received $8,235,000 (US$6,000,000) in December 2025, with an additional US$4,000,000 due by the end of 2026. As consideration for the prepayments, the counterparty will receive a discount from the then prevailing market price on the sale of 4,500,000 pounds of U3O8, with scheduled deliveries from 2028-2033. The prepayment has been recorded as deferred revenue. The amount of the upfront payment included a significant financing component, so the Company is recognizing accretion expense on the deferred revenue.

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 by the Elliot Lake Reclamation Trust (“Trust”). The Trust had a balance of $4,408,000 as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $3,652,000).

 

Site Restoration: McClean Lake Joint Venture and Midwest Joint Venture

 

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. Accordingly as at March 31, 2025, 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, which relate to the most recently filed reclamation plan dated November 2021.

 

Site Restoration: Wheeler River and other

 

The Company’s exploration and evaluation activities, including those related to Wheeler River, are subject to environmental regulations as set out by the government of Saskatchewan. Following receipt of approval to construct the Phoenix Project the Company had 60 days to provide a financial guarantee for the Project. This requirement was met subsequent to the end of the quarter (note 21).

In August 2025, the Company issued US$345,000,000 ($476,307,000) of convertible senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”). The Company received $458,994,000, after commissions, fees and transaction costs of $17,313,000. The transaction costs are included in the amortized value of the host contract and amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. The Notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 4.25% per annum. The Company made the first interest payment of US$8,553,125 ($11,902,529)) on March 15, 2026. The Notes mature on September 15, 2031. The holders of the Notes may convert their Notes after December 31, 2025 in shares, cash or a combination thereof at the Company’s discretion, under the following circumstances: (1) the closing sale price of the Company’s shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price of US$2.92 per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter, and only in the following quarter (the “Share Price Threshold”); (2) the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Note is equal to or less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common shares and the applicable conversion rate; (3) the Notes are called for redemption by the Company; or (4) after June 15, 2031. The conversion rate is 342.9355 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes which represents a conversion price of approximately US$2.92 per share. Upon conversion the Company may settle the obligation, at its sole discretion, in either common shares, in cash at an equivalent value or in a combination of both.

 

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes on or after September 20, 2029, but only if Denison’s share price reaches at least 130% of the conversion price for 20 out of the previous 30 consecutive trading days before the quarter ends. The redemption price represents 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes contain a make-whole provision such that, in the event of a redemption, the conversion price is adjusted to ensure no loss to the Note holders. Upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, such as a change of control, major corporate transaction, or liquidation, and the Company must offer to repurchase all or part of the outstanding Notes for cash.

 

13

 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Notes mature on September 15, 2031. Any Notes not converted, repurchased or redeemed prior to the maturity date will have their principal amount repaid by Denison in cash at maturity.

 

Under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, the early redemption feature and conversion option meet the definition of an embedded derivative (the “Embedded Derivatives”) and the Company has elected the option under IFRS to bifurcate from the host liability from the conversion and redemption options. The conversion option and redemption feature are treated as one unit on account of being closely related. The Embedded Derivatives are measured at fair value on issuance and at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in net earnings. The host liability was recorded as the residual amount and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

 

On the date of issuance, the Notes were trading at a premium to their face value, resulting a fair value on issuance for the Notes of $512,328,000 (US$371,091,000), resulting in a day-one loss of $36,021,000, recorded in other income (note 15).

 

The Embedded Derivatives are classified as a Level 2 financial instrument based on the IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, fair value hierarchy, and valued using a partial differential equation valuation model. The following key assumptions were used in the valuation model:

 

   Key Assumption   Key Assumption 
   March 31, 2026   December 31, 2025 
Maturity date   September 15, 2031    September 15, 2031 
Debt traded price   156.215    130.642 
Volatility rate   69.9%   76.6%
Share price  US$3.53   US$2.63 
Credit spread   9.305%   10.485%

 

The fair value of the Embedded Derivatives on December 31, 2025 was $316,444,000. At March 31, 2026 the Company’s share price had increased to US$3.53 (December 31, 2025 – US$2.63), resulting in an increase in the fair value of the Embedded Derivatives to $424,883,000, and a fair value loss of $108,439,000 that was recognized in other income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (see note 15). The Share Price Threshold was not met during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a gross interest expense of $10,225,000, including cash interest of $5,028,000 and accretion of the host liability related to the Notes, of $5,216,000 at an effective interest rate of 13.76%. Following FID the Company commenced capitalizing its borrowing costs in accordance with IAS 23, Borrowing Costs, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 $396,000 in borrowing costs were capitalized to Assets under Construction.

 

Capped Call Derivative Options

 

Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Company purchased cash-settled call options (the “Capped Calls”) with a strike price equal to initial conversion price of the Notes of (USD$2.92) and with a cap price of US$4.32, a term consistent with the term of the Notes. This transaction effectively increased the conversion price of the Notes up to USD$4.32 per share. The purchase price for the Capped Call transactions was approximately USD$35,363,000 ($48,822,000).

 

The Capped Calls are accounted for as a derivative instrument and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. The Capped Calls are classified as a Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement and valued using a Monte Carlo model. The key assumptions used in the valuation model at inception and as at September 30, 2025, used in valuation of the conversion option are:

 

14

 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

   Key Assumption   Key Assumption 
   March 31, 2026   December 31, 2025 
Maturity date   September 15, 2031    September 15, 2031 
Strike price  US$2.916   US$2.916 
Cap  US$4.32   US$4.32 
Share price  US$3.53   US$2.63 
Volatility rate   69.9%   76.6%
Risk free rate   3.70%   3.54%
Credit spread   0.70%   0.55%

 

The Capped Calls were initially valued at US$21,497,000 ($29,679,000) on August 15, 2025. The initial valuation resulted in a difference between the transaction price and the fair value on initial recognition of $19,143,000. As this valuation is based on a valuation technique where not all the inputs are observable, the day one loss has been deferred, and is recorded as an asset on the statement of financial position, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis into net earnings over the contractual life of the Capped Calls. Including the deferral of the loss, the total Capped Call value on August 15, 2025 was $48,822,000.

 

As at March 31, 2026, the fair value of the Capped Calls, including the deferred loss was $61,211,000 (December 31, 2025 $47,993,000), resulting in a fair value gain of $13,218,000 (March 31, 2025 – $nil), that has been recognized in finance expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (see note 15).

19.FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND 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. Investment in associates, have been valued based on the consideration given up and adjusted for any related equity pickup. 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, the variable interest rate associated with the instruments or the fixed interest rate of the instruments being similar to market rates.

 

During 2026 and 2025, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 and there were no changes in valuation techniques. The following table illustrates the classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

 

   Financial  Fair   March 31,   December 31, 
   Instrument  Value   2026   2025 
(in thousands)  Category(1)  Hierarchy   Fair Value   Fair Value 
Financial Assets:

Investments                  
Equity instruments-shares  Category A   Level 1    13,745    11,949

Elliot Lake reclamation trust fund  Category B        4,408    3,858 
Credit facility pledged assets  Category B        7,972    7,972 
           $724,495   $746,197 
                   
Financial Liabilities:                  
Account payable and accrued liabilities  Category C        36,334    41,202 
Debt obligations  Category C        2,210    2,280 
Convertible Notes(2)  Category A/C  Level 2    749,991    639,526 
           $788,535   $683,008 

 

(1)Financial instrument designations are as follows: Category A=Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss; Category B=Financial assets at amortized cost; and Category C=Financial liabilities at amortized cost.

(2)The Convertible Notes Embedded Derivatives are Category A and the Convertible Notes host liability is Category C.

 

Investments in uranium are categorized as Level 2. Investments in uranium are measured at fair value at each reporting period based on the month-end spot price for uranium published by UxC and converted to Canadian dollars during the period-end indicative foreign exchange rate. The Capped Call options are categorized as Level 3, as there are significant inputs that are unobservable. The Convertible note Embedded Derivatives are categorized as Level 2, due to the use of a valuation model based on market observable inputs.
