Denison Announces Oil Exploration Drilling Date and
Obtains Stanrock Decommissioning Licence

TORONTO, ONTARIO--Denison Mines Limited announced today that a rig
has been contracted to drill up to three exploration wells in the
north Aegean Sea offshore Greece. The rig is being mobilized with
August 1, 1998 as the estimated start date for drilling the first
well. The location of the drilling will be finalized at the
Operating Committee meetings in Athens on July 8th.

Denison has received a decommissioning licence from the Atomic
Energy Control Board ("AECB") for its Stanrock site at Elliot
Lake, Ontario. The licence provisions are as anticipated. The
capital works at Stanrock are proceeding and will be completed
early this fall. This is the final licence required for the
closure of the Elliot Lake mining facility.

The AECB has not to date, given permission to complete
construction of the Tailings Management Facility at the McClean
Lake project. E. Peter Farmer, Denison's President and Chief
Executive Officer, said that "significant progress has been made
with the filing of the additional material requested by the AECB.
I believe that determination by the AECB to permit completion of
construction of the Tailings Management Facility is still
achievable in time to permit production later in the year."

Denison Environmental Services has been awarded the contract to
decommission the Algoma Steel mine and mill near Wawa, Ontario.
The reclamation work and the sale of the assets and equipment
associated with the mine are proceeding well.
