Public Notice - CNSC Completes Initial Review of Denison's Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Wheeler River Project

The Federal Indigenous Review Team (FIRT) has completed a technical review of Denison Mines Corp.'s draft environmental impact statement (EIS) submission and has found that the information provided does not fully address the regulatory requirements for the environmental assessment (EA). The technical review resulted in 238 information requests (IRs), found in Annex 1, as well as 49 Advice to Proponent comments, found in Annex 2.

The following documents have been posted:

• Letter from CNSC staff to Denison with outcome of draft EIS review
• Annex 1 - FIRT - Information Requirements for the Wheeler River Environmental Impact Statement
• Annex 2 - FIRT - Advice to the Proponent for the Wheeler River Environmental Impact Statement

CNSC staff expects Denison to submit complete responses to all IRs and Advice to Proponent comments, along with a revised EIS and supporting documentation. Denison's responses may be reviewed several times to ensure the responses meet requirements. Once the draft EIS meets regulatory requirements, CNSC staff will proceed with developing an EA report.
