<br />ATTACHMENT TO ANNUAL REPORT <br />ST JUDE MINE <br />PERMIT NO. M-1978-039HR <br />November 1, 2010 <br />In July 2007, the mine site was occupied, and site maintenance and clean-up were performed. <br />Preliminary mine preparation work was completed to re-establish utilities to the mine site and to <br />reopen the portal. As of the date of this report, no ore were produced from the St. Jude Mine in <br />2010. While the mine is presently in Temporary Cessation status, a small amount of ore <br />production is possible in the upcoming year from the Sunday Mine Complex; however it is <br />unlikely. <br />In March of 2008, the Division provided notification to Denison Mines that the St Jude Mine is a <br />Designated Mining Operation. In July of 2009, Denison submitted an Environmental Protection <br />Plan (EPP) for the St Jude Mine as part of the Sunday Mine Complex. In September of 2009, <br />Denison received comments on the EPP from the Division, and Denison addressed these <br />comments and resubmitted the EPP in December of 2009. Additional minor comments were <br />received in February of 2010 and addressed by Denison in March of 2010. Conditional <br />acceptance of the EPP was received from the Division in June of 2010 and a response was <br />submitted accepting the conditions with one minor change requested in August of 2010. <br />Denison is waiting on a response from the Division to finalize this DMO/EPP Process. <br />Noxious weed control was completed using a pesticide pre-emergence for halogeten and <br />knapweed. This was observed to have mixed results and we will continue in the spring of 2011 <br />using the original method of spraying after weeds are visible. Treatments were made along the <br />roads and at the mine sites. <br />All work at the St. Jude Mine has been completed in conformance with approved Division Mine <br />Permits. <br />No changes occurred in the Permit M-1978-039HR area during the past year. Routine <br />maintenance of berms and temporary sediment basins was completed in September of this year
