Denison Mines Corp. is a Canadian uranium exploration, development, and production company. Founded by Stephen B. Roman, and best known for its uranium mining in Blind River and Elliot Lake, it later diversified into coal, potash, and other projects.
History
About 1,000 workers at Denison's Elliot Lake mines went on strike in 1974, protesting unhealthy working conditions.[2][3] The protest led to immediate improvements in safety conditions, and prompted Bill Davis to commission James Milton Ham to lead the Royal Commission on the Health and Safety of Workers in Mines.[4][5]
Denison served as manager for Uranium Participation Corporation
