FORM 51-102F3 MATERIAL CHANGE REPORT

1. Name and Address of Company:
Denison Mines Corp. (“ Denison ”) 595 Bay Street, Suite 402 Toronto, ON M5G C2C
2. Date of Material Change:
December 5, 2006
3. News Release:
A news release reporting the material change was released on December 5, 2006 through the
facilities of CCNMatthews.
4. Summary of Material Change:
On December 5, 2006 Denison announced a takeover offer to acquire any or all of the issued
and outstanding shares of OmegaCorp Limited (“ Omega ”) at a price of AU$1.10 per share for a
total consideration of approximately AU$170 million (CDN$154 million). The offer reflects a
premium of approximately 25% to the volume weighted average price for Omega shares in the
previous 20 trading days.
Omega’s directors have unanimously recommended that shareholders accept the Denison offer in
the absence of a superior offer. Omega’s directors have also unanimously indicated that they
intend to accept the Denison offer with respect to their own shareholdings in the absence of
a superior offer or if there is a bid by a third party that is matched by Denison. Omega has
also agreed to a break fee of 1% of the equity value of Omega under specified circumstances,
together with a right to match provision in favour of Denison. Omega has agreed not to
solicit other offers during the offer period.
5. Full Description of Material Change:
On December 5, 2006 Denison announced a takeover offer to acquire any or all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Omega (ASX:OMC) at a price of AU$1.10 per share for a total
consideration of approximately AU$170 million (CDN$154 million). Omega is an Australian
listed mineral exploration company which has a portfolio of uranium projects in southern
Africa, including the advanced stage Kariba Project in Zambia.
The Denison offer contemplates the spin-off of certain assets owned by Omega, referred to as
the “Mavuzi Assets”, in Mozambique to Omega shareholders. Omega intends to seek all
necessary approvals to distribute the shares to the Omega shareholders (as at a record date
to be determined) on a 1 for 4 basis in a company (“ Newco ”) which is to be incorporated and
will own the Mavuzi assets (“ Distribution in Specie ”). Omega will seek to list Newco on the
Australian Stock Exchange. Denison will retain the uranium rights in respect of the Mavuzi
Assets.
Denison and Omega have entered into a Bid Implementation Agreement setting forth the terms
under which Denison is making the offer. Denison’s offer is subject to a number of
conditions including receipt of regulatory approvals and no material adverse changes to
Omega. A copy of the Bid Implementation Agreement is available on Denison’s profile on the
SEDAR website at

| www.sedar.com. The Bidder’s Statement to Omega’s shareholders is expected to be available
within three weeks from the announcement of the bid. |
| --- |
| Denison’s management believes that the acquisition of Omega will fit well into its growth
strategy in terms of development scheduling and uranium production. The Omega assets are
expected to add significantly to Denison’s uranium resources and bring additional near term
production capacity, as well as establishing Denison in Africa. |
| Dundee Securities Corporation served as financial advisor to Denison on the acquisition. |
| Kariba Uranium Project — Zambia |
| Omega holds a 100% interest in the Kariba Uranium Project located approximately 200
kilometres south of Lusaka. Encompassing an area of over 1,890 square kilometers, three main
areas of mineralization have been identified to date — Mutanga, Dibwe and Bungua, with
several targets in each area. |
| Current inferred resources, prepared by FinOre Mining Consultants in accordance with the
JORC Code, at the Mutanga and Dibwe areas are estimated at 16,400,000 tonnes grading 380 ppm
U 3 O 8 containing 13.7 million pounds U 3 O 8 at a
200 ppm U 3 O 8 cut-off, as reported in a JORC-compliant resource
estimate prepared by FinOre Mining Consultants, a subsidiary of CSA Geological Consultants
(August, 2006). Existing data supports resource upside potential here and elsewhere within
the project. The August 2006 report’s Qualified Person is Mr. Malcolm Titley, Principal
Consultant and Director of FinOre Mining Consultants. Mr. Titley is a BSc qualified
geologist and chemist with 25 years combined mining industry and resource estimation
experience. Mr. Titley is independent of Denison. |
| The mineralization on the property has not been estimated in conformity with National
Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43-101 ”). All resource
estimates quoted above are based on prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous
operators and information, including Omega. Denison has not completed the work necessary to
verify the classification of the mineral resource estimate. Inferred resources have a great
amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and
legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource
will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The properties will require further valuation
which Denison’s management and consultants intend to carry out in due course upon completion
of the acquisition. |
| Omega has completed a scoping study of the Kariba project (the “ Study ”) utilizing an open
pit, alkali leach mining operation. The Study, conducted by MDM Engineering (Pty) Ltd of
South Africa, considers the engineering and costing of all the plant, equipment and
associated infrastructure facilities such as water, power and transportation requirements.
Results of the Study suggest that the project could support the production of 1.5 million
pounds of U 3 O 8 per annum at an initial estimated operating cost of
US$23 per pound (determined to a nominal accuracy of +/- 30%). The mining rate for the
project was estimated at 2 million tonnes per annum, with a 90% metallurgical recovery.
Using these parameters, the operation could support a mining operation for about six years.
This was considered to be a base case for the project as there is potential to increase the
overall resource base and therefore the life of the mine. Capital costs (determined to a
nominal accuracy of +/-30%) for the process plant and infrastructure were estimated at US$41
million and US$17 million respectively. A further US$1.5 million has been estimated for the
“first fill” of reagents. |
| The Study is a preliminary assessment, which has been completed by a number of industry
recognized consultants engaged by Omega, and is based on the current Inferred Mineral
Resource estimated in compliance with the JORC Code. These JORC compliant resources have not
been estimated in |

| accordance with NI 43-101. Denison has not verified any of the data disclosed in the Study
that formed the basis for the inferred resources referred to in this material change report.
Denison has not verified any of the sampling, or analytical or test data underlying the
information or opinions that formed the basis of that Study. This Study must be considered
as a preliminary assessment, and the inferred resources contained therein have to be
considered too speculative geologically to have any economic considerations applied to them
to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Denison has not verified any of the
data that underpinned the assumptions contained in this preliminary assessment and Denison
believes that the operating and capital costs could be higher. No Denison employee has
visited the project or has access to more information other than that contained in the
Study. The Study’s Qualified Person is Mr. Dodd of MDM Engineering Limited of Johannesburg,
South Africa. Mr. Dodd holds a BSc (Hons) in Chemical Engineering and is a fellow of the
South African Institute of Mining Metallurgy with 32 years experience in the field of
extractive metallurgy. Mr. Dodd is independent of Denison. |
| --- |
| The Study was completed using the following parameters: |

• Life of mine estimate 6 - 10 years
• Ore Mining Rate 2.0 Million tonnes per annum
• Cut off grade 200 parts per million (ppm) (.02% U 3 O 8 )
• Mining grade 360 - 420 ppm (.036% - .042% U 3 O 8 )
• Recovery 90%

| The key considerations in the Study were scale, throughput rate, project life, and community
and environmental impacts. The minimum project life was expected to be six years, but with
the potential to be at least ten, given the number of untested targets and other areas
drilled by AGIP, who explored the area extensively in the past. To this end, the Study
completed to date is considered as a base case scenario. |
| --- |
| The proposed mining site is regionally well serviced with infrastructure, with grid power
available within sixty kilometres from the site. Water is available from nearby Lake Kariba
if required, or from on site sources. The study has used the former option. |
| The mining of both overburden and ore is described as a relatively simple process requiring
limited blasting. The stripping ratio of the Mutanga deposit was estimated at <2:1, with
the Dibwe deposit expected to be higher, due to the nature of the mineralisation. The
stripping ratio for the life of the operation was not expected to exceed 4:1. |
| The current consideration is to locate the plant and associated infrastructure approximately
one kilometre south of the Mutanga deposit. This area has been chosen due to its
suitability, proximal nature and access. |
| A conceptual flow sheet was generated that incorporates the newly conceived concept of
upgrading the ore ahead of its processing by running the milled ore through screens and an
attrition scrubber. The leaching commences in the milling part of the circuit, with the
introduction of modest heat (60 o C) and continues in the leach tanks and
counter-current-decant (CCD) part of the circuit. The process utilises an alkali leach,
processing up to two million tonnes of ore per annum. A metallurgical recovery factor of 90%
has been applied in the scoping study based on extensive testing. |
| The Study is preliminary in nature and it is based entirely on inferred resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them
that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. The Study also contained
assumptions relating to ore density, expectation of upgrading of resources and use of
historic drillhole locations. There is no certainty that the economic results from the Study
will be realized. |
