Wheeler River Project Provincial Technical Proposal and Federal Project Description
Wheeler River Project Provincial Technical Proposal and Federal Project Description Denison Mines Corp. May 2019 WHEELER RIVER PROJECT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL & PROJECT DESCRIPTION Wheeler River Project Provincial Technical Proposal and Federal Project Description Project Summary English – Page ii French – Page x Dene – Page xx Cree – Page xxviii PAGE i WHEELER RIVER PROJECT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL & PROJECT DESCRIPTION Summary Wheeler River Project The Wheeler River Project (Wheeler or the Project) is a proposed uranium mine and processing plant in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located in a relatively undisturbed area of the boreal forest about 4 km off of Highway 914 and approximately 35 km north-northeast of the Key Lake uranium operation. Wheeler is a joint venture project owned by Denison Mines Corp. (Denison) and JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Ltd. (JCU). Denison owns 90% of Wheeler and is the operator, while JCU owns 10%. Denison is a uranium exploration and development company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada with a head office in Toronto, Ontario and technical office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Historically Denison has had over 50 years of uranium mining experience in Saskatchewan, Elliot Lake, Ontario, and in the United States. Today, the company is part owner (22.5%) of the McClean Lake Joint Venture which includes the operating McClean Lake uranium mill in northern Saskatchewan. To advance the Project, Denison is applying an innovative approach to uranium mining in Canada called in situ recovery (ISR). The use of ISR mining at Wheeler means that there will be no need for a large open pit mining operation or multiple shafts to access underground mine workings; no workers will be underground as the ISR process is conducted from surface facilities.

Maximizing Manufacturing Margins with Value Engineering Balancing Cost Reduction, Process Improvement, and Product Value
Maximizing Manufacturing Margins with Value Engineering Balancing Cost Reduction, Process Improvement, and Product Value Manufacturers large and small all hope to achieve the same thing: manufacture more products, with higher margins. Of course, in order to build a lasting business, you need to keep customers satisfied, meaning the quality of products must remain high when you make moves to reduce costs. The best way to reduce costs and improve processes without diminishing the quality of your product is through a process called Value Engineering. Value Engineering is a process used by companies across the globe to ensure product functionality is maximized while costs are minimized. By incorporating Value Engineering into your product development process, you’ll reduce costs, increase margins, and establish a smarter way to determine which new products justify the investment to bring them to market. FortéOne has been helping middle market companies conduct a value analysis and implement Value Engineering in their organizations for 20 years. By leveraging the experience of our people, who have installed Value Engineering in companies across many industries, we have developed a four-step process for incorporating Value Engineering into middle market organizations that avoids the most common challenges companies face during its implementation. Explained below are the lessons we have learned. What is Value Engineering? Value Engineering starts with product value. Product value is the ratio of product function to product cost (including the purchase of raw materials and packaging, logistics and shipping costs, overhead and manpower, and line efficiency). Product function is the work a product is designed to perform.

Education Roadmap for Mining Professionals
Education Roadmap for Mining Professionals December 2002 Mining Industry of the Future Mining Industry of the Future Education Roadmap for Mining Professionals FOREWORD In June 1998, the Chairman of the National Mining Association and the Secretary of Energy entered into a compact to pursue a collaborative technology research partnership, the Mining Industry of the Future. Following the compact signing, the mining industry developed The Future Begins with Mining: A Vision of the Mining Industry of the Future. That document, completed in September 1998, describes a positive and productive vision of the U.S. mining industry in the year 2020. It also establishes long-term goals for the industry. One of those goals is: "Improved Communication and Education: Attract the best and the brightest by making careers in the mining industry attractive and promising. Educate the public about the successes in the mining industry of the 21st century and remind them that everything begins with mining." Using the Vision as guidance, the Mining Industry of the Future is developing roadmaps to guide it in achieving industry’s goals. This document represents the roadmap for education in the U.S. mining industry. It was developed based on the results of an Education Roadmap Workshop sponsored by the National Mining Association in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of Industrial Technologies. The Workshop was held February 23, 2002 in Phoenix, Arizona. Participants at the workshop included individuals from universities, the mining industry, government agencies, and research laboratories.

Shon Emsi and Young MIT Sloan School of Management Abstract At the turn of the century, Frederick Taylor revolutionized the design and improvement of work with his ideas on work organization, task decomposition and job measurement. Taylor's basic aim was to increase organizational productivity by applying to human labor the same engineering principles that had proven so successful in solving technical problems in the workplace. The same approaches that had transformed mechanical activity could also be used to structure jobs performed by people. Taylor, rising from worker to chief engineer at Midvale Iron Works, came to symbolize the ideas and practical realizations in industry that we now call industrial engineering (EE), or the scientific school of management^ In fact, though work design remains a contemporary IE concern, no subsequent concept or tool has rivaled the power of Taylor's mechanizing vision.
