Denison Reports Extension of Cornerstone Contract for Environmental Services Business

Denison Mines (“Denison” or the “Company”) (TSX:DML)(NYSE MKT:DNN) is pleased to announce that the Company’s environmental services business, operating under the brand Denison Environmental Services (“DES”), has entered into a new two year services agreement with Rio Algom, which is a subsidiary of BHP Billiton (“BHP”).
The agreement is in relation to the management and operation of several of BHP’s decommissioned mine sites in Ontario and Quebec.
David Cates, President and CEO of Denison commented:

 “Denison’s environmental services business is often over looked in favour of our ambitious uranium exploration and development activities in the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan. Our DES team is based in Elliot Lake, Ontario and has been providing services to BHP for over a decade.
BHP is a cornerstone client for DES, and it speaks volumes to the quality of our people and services to have a repeat customer of this magnitude.”
