| Arrangement with Anglo Pacific Group PLC (“APG”)
| In February 2017, Denison closed an arrangement with APG under which Denison received an upfront payment of $43,500,000 in exchange for its right to receive future toll milling cash receipts from the MLJV under the current toll milling agreement with the CLJV from July 1, 2016 onwards. The up-front payment was based upon an estimate of the gross toll milling cash receipts to be received by Denison discounted at a rate of 8.50%.
| The APG Arrangement represents a contractual obligation of Denison to pay onward to APG any cash proceeds of future toll milling revenue earned by the Company related to the processing of the specified Cigar Lake ore through the McClean Lake mill. At closing, the Company made payments to APG of $3,520,000, representing the Cigar Lake toll milling cash receipts received by Denison in respect of toll milling activity for the period from July 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017, and reflected those amounts as a reduction of the initial upfront amount received, thereby reducing the initial deferred revenue balance to $39,980,000 at the transaction date.
| In connection with the closing of the APG Arrangement, the terms of the BNS Letters of Credit Facility between BNS and Denison were amended to reflect certain changes required to facilitate an Intercreditor Agreement between APG, BNS and Denison (see note 16).
| In 2021, the Company recognized $3,207,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue, based on Cigar Lake toll milling production of 12,159,000 pounds U3O8 (100% basis). The drawdown in 2021 includes a cumulative increase in revenue for prior periods of $61,000 resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling drawdown rate during 2021.
| In 2020, the Company recognized $2,762,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue, based on Cigar Lake toll milling production of 10,069,000 pounds U3O8 (100% basis). The drawdown in 2020 includes a cumulative increase in revenue for prior periods of $168,000 resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling drawdown rate during 2020.
| In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CLJV temporarily suspended production at the Cigar Lake mine from the end of March 2020 until September 2020, and then again from the end of December 2020 until April 2021. The MLJV temporarily suspended operations at the mill for the duration of the CLJV shutdowns.
| The current portion of the deferred revenue liability reflects Denison’s estimate of Cigar Lake toll milling over the next 12 months. This assumption is based on current mill packaged production expectations and is reassessed on a quarterly basis.
