Re: Denison Mines (USA) Corp.
State of Utah 11e.(2) Byproduct Material License # UTI 900479
White Mesa Mill, Blanding, Utah
License Condition Number 9.5 - Surety Update
Dear Mr. Finerfrock:
Pursuant to License Condition No. 9.5 of State of Utah 11e.(2) Byproduct Material License #UT1900479, please
find enclosed two (2) copies, and a CD containing a scanned image, of the revised reclamation and
decommissioning cost estimate in support of the surety bond on the White Mesa Mill.
The attached reclamation estimate is based on the plan approved by NRC License Amendment 15, issued on
July 15, 2000. The revised reclamation estimate and surety amount is $15,056,573, which is an increase from
the current surety amount of $15,017,128. The attached estimate represents a total revision to Attachment C of
Revision 3.0 to the approved July 2000 Reclamation Plan.
The revised estimate was based on updated quotes for equipment rental, fuel, and subcontractor services, in addition
to increases in hourly labor rates. Documentation of the updated unit costs is included with the revised estimate.
Revisions to the cost estimate were also calculated for the projected conventional uranium/vanadium ore to be
transported to the Mill this year and, a small increase in the amount of barreled and bulk alternate feed currently stored
on site.
