Feasibility
Iron Ore
Overview
BCI Minerals Limited sold the Kumina Iron Ore Project to Mineral Resources Limited in October 2018. The project is located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 100km south of Karratha. Prior to the sale, BCI Minerals had identified the Kumina tenements as a large, under-explored tenement package and conducted exploration activities, including a Phase 1 drilling programme. A maiden JORC inferred mineral resource for the Kumina project was announced in June 2018, estimated at 78.3 million tonnes at 59.1% Fe.

Under Development
SaltPotassium
Mine life
60 years
Workforce
Approximately 750 during construction and over 140 permanent full-time jobs once fully operational.
Overview
The Mardie Salt Operation and Potash Project, located 80 kilometres south-west of Karratha on the Pilbara coast, is set to be the largest salt operation in Australia and the third largest globally. Owned wholly by BCI Minerals through its subsidiary Mardie Minerals Pty Ltd, the project received final approval to commence operations in September 2024. While initial operations involving the filling of evaporation ponds have begun, the project remains under construction and is on schedule and budget. The salt-first construction budget is A$1,443M. The project will supply high-purity industrial salt for various manufacturing processes and sulphate of potash, a premium fertiliser, to key Asian markets.
Production
The facility is designed to produce approximately 5.3 to 5.35 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of high-purity salt (>99.5% NaCl) and 140,000 tonnes per annum (ktpa) of Sulphate of Potash (SOP). The first salt on ship is targeted for the December 2026 quarter. Offtake agreements for 62% of the initial three years' salt volume have been secured.
Processing
The project uses solar evaporation of seawater in a series of concentration ponds and crystallisers spanning over 130 square kilometres. This is followed by processing in two plants to produce high-purity salt and sulphate of potash. A 2.4-kilometre jetty and a new trans-shipment port facility, Port of Cape Preston West, will be used for export. The process is primarily powered by renewable solar and wind energy. As of March 2026, the first crystalliser has been commissioned with the introduction of high-density brine.

Uranium
Mine life
6.5 years
Overview
The Gryphon deposit is part of the Wheeler River Project, the largest undeveloped uranium project in the eastern Athabasca Basin. It is a basement-hosted uranium deposit. A 2023 cost update to the 2018 Pre-Feasibility Study confirmed its potential as one of the world's lowest-cost uranium mines.
Production
Over an approximately 6.5-year mine life, 49.7 million pounds of U3O8 are planned to be extracted from 1,260,000 tonnes of ore grading 1.8% U3O8.
Processing
The plan assumes that ore from the Gryphon operation will be processed at the McClean Lake mill, which is 22.5% owned by Denison. The mill's existing flowsheet is considered amenable to processing the Gryphon ore with minimal required upgrades, and the estimated recovery rate is 98.2%.

Workforce
The project is expected to generate benefits for employees, contractors, and Indigenous partners.
Production
First production is targeted for mid-2028. The Phoenix operation is anticipated to produce approximately six-million pounds of uranium oxide per year.
Processing
The Phoenix project will be the first uranium in-situ recovery (ISR) mining operation in the Athabasca Basin region. The ISR method involves injecting a solution underground to dissolve the uranium ore, which is then pumped to the surface for processing. A unique feature of the planned ISR mine is the use of artificial ground freezing around the perimeter of the mining areas to create a hydraulic barrier.
Equipment
Long-lead items procured for the project include electrical distribution infrastructure such as the main site transformer, substation high voltage equipment, switchgear, and a substation electrical house. A construction management contract has been awarded to Wood Canada Limited to oversee the building of the mine, including the processing plant and site infrastructure. Grid power was made available at the future mine site following the completion of a SaskPower transmission line.
Expansion
The Denison Mines Corp. Board of Directors made a Final Investment Decision to proceed with the construction of the Phoenix mine in February 2026. Site preparation and construction activities are planned to commence in March 2026. The construction period is expected to be approximately two years.
