DOCUMENTS FILED PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
In
accordance with General Instruction B.(3) of Form 40-F, Denison
Mines Corp. (the “Company” or the
“Registrant”)
hereby incorporates by reference Exhibits 99.1 through 99.3 as set
forth in the Exhibit Index attached hereto.
In
accordance with General Instruction D.(9) of Form 40-F, the Company
has filed written consents of certain experts named in the
foregoing Exhibits as Exhibits 99.4 and 99.7 through 99.18, as set
forth in the Exhibit Index attached hereto.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
of the information contained in this Annual Report on Form 40-F,
including the documents incorporated herein by reference, may
contain “forward-looking information”. Forward-looking
information and statements may include, among others, statements
regarding the future plans, costs, objectives or performance of the
Company, or the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In
this Annual Report on Form 40-F, words such as “may”,
“would”, “could”, “will”,
“likely”, “believe”, “expect”,
“anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”,
“estimate” and similar words and the negative form
thereof are used to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of
future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate
indications of whether, or the times at or by which, such future
performance will be achieved. Forward-looking statements and
information are based on information available at the time and/or
management’s good-faith belief with respect to future events
and are subject to known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other
unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s
control. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but
are not limited to, those described under the section “Risk
Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (the “AIF”), which is filed as Exhibit
99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F, and could cause actual
events or results to differ materially from those projected in any
forward-looking statements.
The
Company’s forward-looking statements contained in the
exhibits incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form
40-F are made as of the respective dates set forth in such
exhibits. In preparing this Annual Report on Form 40-F, the Company
has not updated such forward-looking statements to reflect any
subsequent information, events or circumstances or otherwise, or
any change in management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions
that may have occurred prior to the date hereof, nor does the
Company assume any obligation to update such forward-looking
statements in the future, except as required by applicable
laws.
RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES
The
terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral
reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are
Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (“NI
43-101”), which references the guidelines set out in
the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the
“CIM”) Standards
on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM
council, as may be amended from time to time by the CIM. These
definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7
(“Industry Guide
7”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Under Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be
classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has
been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally
produced or extracted at the time of the reserve
determination.
In
addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured
mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”
and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and
required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not
defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted
to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”). Investors are
cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in
these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
“Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to
their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all
or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded
to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred
mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases.
Accordingly,
information contained in this Annual Report on Form 40-F and the
documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions
of the Company’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to
similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the
reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States
federal securities laws and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
CURRENCY
Unless
otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Annual Report on
Form 40-F are in United States dollars. The daily exchange rate
published by the Bank of Canada for the exchange of Canadian
dollars into United States dollars on December 29, 2017, the last
business day of calendar 2017, was U.S. $1.00 =
CDN$1.25.
TAX MATTERS
Purchasing,
holding, or disposing of securities of the Registrant may have tax
consequences under the laws of the United States and Canada that
are not described in this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A.
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
|
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”),
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with
the requirements specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. The
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure
controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017 are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Registrant in reports it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is
accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
The
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, as
indicated in the preceding paragraph, the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer believe that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable
assurance level, although the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer do not expect that the disclosure controls and
procedures or internal control over financial reporting will
prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no
matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. The Company will continue to periodically review its
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting and may make such modifications from time to
time as it considers necessary.
B.
|
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
|
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial
reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (the
“IFRS”) .
Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework established
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission on Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2017, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting is effective.
C.
|
Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
|
The
effectiveness of the Registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm, as stated in their report included with the
Registrant’s Audited Financial Statements, which are an
exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
D.
|
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
|
There
was no change in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the twelve month period
covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The
Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
“TSX”) and is
required to describe its practices and policies with regard to
corporate governance with specific reference to the corporate
governance guidelines of the Canadian Securities Administrators on
an annual basis by way of a corporate governance statement
contained in the Company’s Annual Information Form or
Information Circular. The Company is also listed on the NYSE
American LLC (the “NYSE
American”) and additionally complies as necessary with
the rules and guidelines of the NYSE American as well as the SEC.
The Company reviews its governance practices on an ongoing basis to
ensure it is in compliance with the applicable laws, rules and
guidelines both in Canada and in the United States.
The
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for the
Company’s corporate governance policies and has separately
designated a standing Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee. The Board has determined that the members of the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent,
based on the criteria for independence and unrelatedness prescribed
by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 10A(m)(3), and the NYSE
American.
Corporate
governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of
which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and
takes into account the role of the senior officers who are
appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day
administration of the Company. The Board is committed to sound
corporate governance practices that are both in the interest of its
shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision
making.
BENEFIT PLAN BLACKOUT PERIODS
Not
applicable.

The
Company’s Board of Directors has determined that all three
members of its Audit Committee (Ms. Catherine Stefan, Mr. Brian D.
Edgar and Mr. William A. Rand) are audit committee financial
experts, within the meaning of paragraph 8(b) of General
Instruction B of Form 40-F, and are also independent within the
meaning of United States and Canadian securities regulations and

Through
such education and experience, each of these three members has
experience overseeing and assessing the performance of companies
and public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing
and evaluation of financial statements, and has: (1) an
understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and
financial statements; (2) the ability to assess the general
application of such principles in connection with the accounting
for estimates, accruals and reserves; (3) experience preparing,
auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present
a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are
generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that
can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s
financial statements; (4) an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting; and (5) an understanding of audit committee
functions.
The SEC
has provided that the designation of an audit committee financial
expert does not make him or her an “expert” for any
purpose, impose on him or her any duties, obligations or liability
that are greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed
on him or her as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board in
the absence of such designation, or affect the duties, obligations
or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or
Board.
CODE OF ETHICS
The
Company has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the
Company’s directors, officers and employees, including the
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, principal
accounting officer or controller, persons performing similar

Company’s website at www.denisonmines.com. In the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2017, the Company has not made any amendment to
a provision of its code of ethics that applies to any of its Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, principal accounting
officer or controller or persons performing similar functions that
relates to one or more of the items set forth in paragraph (9)(b)
of General Instruction B to Form 40-F. In the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2017, the Company has not granted a waiver (including
an implicit waiver) from a provision of its code of ethics to any
of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, principal
accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar

on the Company’s Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on
March 9, 2018.
NYSE AMERICAN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The
Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE American.
Section 110 of the NYSE American Company Guide permits the NYSE
American to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign
issuers in relaxing certain NYSE American listing criteria, and to
grant exemptions from the NYSE American listing criteria based on
these considerations. An issuer seeking relief under these
provisions is required to provide written certification from
independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not
prohibited by home country law. A description of the significant
ways in which the Company’s governance practices differ from
those followed by domestic companies pursuant to the NYSE American
standards is as follows:
Board Composition: The NYSE American requires that a listed
company have a Board of Directors consisting of at least a majority
of members who satisfy applicable independence standards under
Section 803 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the
“NSYE American Independence
Standard”). The Company’s Board is currently
composed of seven members, four of whom qualify as independent
under the NYSE American Company Guide and who meet the NSYE
American Independence Standard, namely Ms. Stefan and Messrs.
Dengler, Edgar and Rand. Denison’s remaining three directors
do not satisfy the NYSE American Independence Standard, being
Messrs. Hochstein, Lundin and Jeong.
Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirement: The NYSE American
minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting is one-third
of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote for a
meeting of a listed company’s shareholders. The TSX does not
specify a quorum requirement for a meeting of a listed
company’s shareholders. The Company’s current required
quorum at any meeting of shareholders as set forth in the
Company’s by-laws is two persons present, each being a
shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting or a duly appointed
proxyholder for an absent shareholder so entitled, holding or
representing in aggregate not less than 10% of the shares of the
Company entitled to be voted at the meeting. The Company’s
current quorum requirement is not prohibited by, and does not
constitute a breach of, the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)
(the “OBCA”),
applicable Canadian securities laws or the rules and policies of
the TSX.
Proxy Solicitation Requirement: The NYSE American requires
the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for
all shareholder meetings of a listed company, and requires that
these proxies be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that
conforms to the proxy rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company is a foreign private issuer as defined in
Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, and the equity securities of the
Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in
Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act. The
Company solicits proxies in accordance with the OBCA, applicable
Canadian securities laws and the rules and policies of the
TSX.
Shareholder Approval Requirements: The NYSE American
requires a listed company to obtain the approval of its
shareholders for certain types of securities issuances. One is the
sale of common shares (or securities convertible into common
shares) at a discount to officers or directors. The TSX rules
require shareholder approval for the issuance of shares to insiders
in private placements where insiders are being issued more than 10%
of the presently issued and outstanding shares. The NYSE American
also requires shareholder approval of private placements that may
result in the issuance of common shares (or securities convertible
into common shares) equal to 20% or more of presently outstanding
shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the
shares. There is no such requirement under Ontario law. The TSX
rules require shareholder approval for private placements that
materially affect control, or where more than 25% of presently
issued and outstanding shares will be issued at a discount to
market. The Company will seek a waiver from the NYSE American
shareholder approval requirement should a dilutive securities
issuance trigger such NYSE American shareholder approval
requirement in circumstances where such securities issuance does
not trigger a shareholder approval requirement under the rules of
the TSX.
Compensation Committee Requirements: The NYSE American
Company Guide requires that additional independence criteria be
applied to each member of the Compensation Committee. The NYSE
American Company Guide also mandates that the Compensation
Committee must have the authority to hire compensation consultants,
independent legal counsel and other compensation advisors and
exercise the sole responsibility to oversee the work of any
compensation advisors retained to advise the Compensation
Committee. In addition, before engaging a compensation advisor, the
Compensation Committee must consider at least six factors that
could potentially impact compensation advisor independence. The
Company follows Canadian Securities Administrators and TSX
requirements for Compensation Committee charters, independence and
authority. The Compensation Committee's Charter includes a
requirement that each member of the Compensation Committee be
independent and that the Compensation Committee have the authority
to retain outside advisors and determine the extent of funding
necessary for payment of consultants.
The
foregoing are consistent with the laws, customs and practices in
Canada.
In
addition, the Company may from time-to-time seek relief from the
NYSE American corporate governance requirements on specific
transactions under Section 110 of the NYSE American Company Guide
by providing written certification from independent local counsel
that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by its home
country law, in which case, the Company shall make the disclosure
of such transactions available on its website at
www.denisonmines.com. Information contained on, or accessible
through, our website is not part of this Annual Report on Form
40-F.
