Denison Mines Corp. DNN announced that it closed the previously announced deal with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. to form four joint ventures involving Skyharbour's Russell Lake Uranium Project. The project is located directly adjacent to Denison Mines’ Wheeler River Project, which strengthens the company’s regional presence.
Details of Denison Mines’ Deal With Skyharbour
On Nov. 17, 2025, Denison Mines inked an $18-million agreement with Skyharbour to acquire shares in the Russell property. The property is now divided to form four property joint ventures. Denison Mines holds 20% interests in the Russell Lake joint venture, 30% in Getty East, 49% in Wheeler North and 70% in Wheeler River Inliers.
DNN will operate Wheeler North and Wheeler River Inliers joint ventures, while Skyharbour will serve as the operator for the Russell Lake joint venture and the Getty East joint venture. Under the agreement, Denison Mines has the option to increase its shares in Wheeler North and Getty East joint ventures to up to 70%.
The joint ventures will benefit from the combined exploration expertise of Denison Mines and Skyharbour. The deal supports Denison Mines’ long-term growth and exploration strategies while boosting its portfolio.
