Denison Mines ( (TSE:DML) ) has provided an announcement.

Denison Mines has approved a final investment decision to build the Phoenix in-situ recovery uranium mine at its Wheeler River project in northern Saskatchewan, with site preparation and construction scheduled to begin in March 2026. The company expects a roughly two-year build, targeting first production by mid-2028, positioning Phoenix as the first new large-scale Canadian uranium mine in more than two decades.

Phoenix and the nearby Gryphon deposit are both expected to rank among the lowest-cost uranium operations globally, supported by extensive permitting work that culminated in recent provincial and federal approvals and a licence to construct. The move advances Denison’s strategy to become a significant near-term uranium supplier, leveraging its existing Athabasca infrastructure, joint venture interests, and mill access to strengthen its role in a tightening global uranium market.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:DML) stock is a Buy with a C$6.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Denison Mines stock, see the TSE:DML Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:DML Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:DML is a Neutral.

The score is weighed down primarily by weak financial performance—heavy losses, persistently negative operating/free cash flow, and higher leverage despite an equity cushion. Technicals are a partial offset with a strong uptrend, but overbought readings elevate near-term downside risk. Valuation also detracts due to a negative P/E and no dividend yield provided.
