Denison to Commence Trading Under Symbol "DML" at Market Opening on December 7, 2006
Thursday December 7, 8:33 am ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 7, 2006) - Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison" or the "Company")(TSX:IUC - News; TSX:DEN - News) is pleased to announce that the Company will commence trading as Denison Mines Corp. ("New Denison") on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "DML" effective today, at the market opening on December 7, 2006. The new CUSIP number of the common shares will be 248356107 and the ISIN number will be CA 2483561072.
Denison Mines Corp. is the result of a recent merger between International Uranium Corporation ("IUC") and Denison Mines Inc. ("Old Denison"). Each common share of Old Denison has now become 2.88 common shares of IUC and IUC has changed its name to Denison Mines Corp.
Also as a result of the merger, the terms of the two series of Old Denison common share purchase warrants have been amended, effective December 1, 2006, as follows: (1) each New Denison common share purchase warrant that will trade under the symbol DML.WT will entitle the holder to acquire 2.88 common shares of New Denison at $15.00 per warrant until November 24, 2009 (CUSIP 248356115, ISIN CA 2483561155); and (2) each New Denison common share purchase warrant that will trade under the symbol: DML.WT.A will entitle the holder to acquire 2.88 common shares of New Denison at $30.00 per warrant until March 1, 2011 (CUSIP 248356123, ISIN CA 2483561239). Fractional common shares of New Denison will not be issued upon exercise of either series of warrants. In lieu thereof, a cash payment will be made equal to the value of the right to acquire such fractional interest.
Registered shareholders of the Old Denison are requested to submit a Letter of Transmittal to facilitate conversion of their shares to New Denison. A Letter of Transmittal has been mailed to all registered shareholders with instructions on how to complete and submit the form. Shareholders whose Old Denison shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should contact that nominee for assistance in exchanging their Old Denison shares for the New Denison shares.
The merger has created a growth oriented and diversified uranium producer with currently estimated annual production of approximately 5 million pounds U3O8 by 2010 with a strong financial position of approximately Cdn$118 million (September 30, 2006) in working capital and no debt.
Denison Mines Corp. is considered the premier intermediate uranium producer in North America, with mining assets in the Athabasca Basin Region of Saskatchewan, Canada and the southwest United States including Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Further, the Company has ownership interests in two of the four uranium mills operating in North America today. The combination of a diversified mining asset base with parallel ownership of milling infrastructure in highly politically stable jurisdictions has uniquely positioned the Company for growth and development into the future.
The Company also has a strong exploration portfolio with large land positions in the United States, Canada and Mongolia. Correspondingly, the Company has one of the largest uranium exploration teams among intermediate uranium companies.
