Current Advisory Board Members Mr. Richard Kusmirski, M.Sc., P.Geo Experienced Uranium Geoscien2st Mr. Richard Kusmirski has over 40 years of explora,on experience in North America and overseas, and has ac,vely par,cipated in the discovery of a number of uranium, gold and base metal deposits. For several years, in his capacity as Explora,on Manager, he directed Cameco Corpora,on’s (TSX: CCO) uranium explora,on projects in the Athabasca Basin. In 1999, Rick joined JNR Resources Inc. becoming Vice President of Explora,on in 2000. Subsequently, he directed the explora,on program that led to the discovery of the Maverick Zone on the Moore Lake uranium joint venture in the Athabasca Basin with partner KennecoK Canada. Rick became JNR's President and CEO in January of 2001. In February of 2013, Denison Mines Corp. (TSX: DML) successfully acquired all of the outstanding shares of JNR by way of a friendly all-‐share take-‐over bid.

Why Uranium? Electricity demand to grow 76% by 2030. The number of nuclear reactors is rising to meet it 434 reactors are in opera,on world-‐wide 544 new reactors (318 proposed, 159 planned,67 under construc,on) China, Russia, India and USA are primary drivers

There are currently 67 reactors under construc,on world-‐wide – newbuild levels not seen since the 1970s – of which 13 have had first concrete poured since Fukushima

Uranium: Supply/Demand Dynamics Unbalanced A supply shortage is unavoidable post 2013-‐14:
• Primary supply will have to increase by ~ 90Mlb U3O8/year to meet demand requirements by 2020 (in 8 years)
• In previous 8-‐year period (2003 – 2011), produc,on increased by 48Mlb, but Kazakhstan accounted for 42Mlb (going forward there is not another Kazatomprom to contribute such growth)

Athabasca Basin Uranium Our Explora,on Strategy LocaCon Saskatchewan is a favorable mining jurisdic,on Projects at or near shallow basin margins (0 to 400-‐m depth) Geology Athabasca Basin unconformity deposits are the highest
grade deposits worldwide Deposits associated with altera,on, conductors, and
radioac,vity; ozen in structurally complex environments ExploraCon Shallow targets with low(er) drilling and explora,on costs Projects are selected based on a review of historic explora,on Geophysics
