There were no significant mineral intersections in drill holes WR-303, 304, 307, 309A and 310. The attached map illustrates the entire 2010 winter program drilling results.

Drill holes 305 and 306 increased the Phoenix Zone A deposit's strike length by approximately 50 metres to the south west and demonstrated the presence of a high-grade core of mineralized intersections over appreciable widths over the entire strike length.

Resource Study

At the recent Joint Venture meeting, the partners also approved the preparation of an initial resource study in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 which will incorporate the results of the summer drilling program at the Phoenix deposit. The Company anticipates that this report will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2010.

The Phoenix deposit is located on the Wheeler River property which is located between the McArthur River Mine and Key Lake mill complex. Denison is the operator and holds a 60% interest in the Wheeler River Property. Cameco Corp. holds a 30% interest and JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited holds the remaining 10% interest.

The technical information contained in this press release related to the above described exploration activities is reported and verified by William C. Kerr, Denison's Vice President, Exploration, who is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. For a description of the quality assurance program and quality control measures applied by Denison, please see Denison's Annual Information Form dated March 19, 2010 filed under the Company's profile on the SEDAR website. All drill holes reported to date were drilled at either -80 or -90 degrees, and while the exact attitude of the mineralization remains uncertain, it is believed, at this time, that the mineralized intervals represent near true widths.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as Denison's actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in this forward-looking information as a result of those factors discussed in or referred to under the heading "Risk Factors" in Denison's Annual Information Form dated March 19, 2010, available at [ http://www.sedar.com ] and its Form 40-F for the financial year ended December 31, 2009, available at [ http://www.sec.gov ], as well as the following: global financial conditions; volatility in market prices for uranium and vanadium; changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; the market price of Denison's securities; the ability to access capital; the ability of Denison to meet its obligations to its creditors; liabilities inherent in mining operations; uncertainties associated with estimating mineral reserves and resources; failure to obtain industry partner and other third party consents and approvals, when required; delays in obtaining permits and licenses for development properties; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of mineral reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; geological, technical and processing problems; and, the potential influence of, or reliance upon, a business partner.
