Tim has nearly two and a half decades of experience in the uranium mining and nuclear energy industries, having spent 23 years with Cameco Corporation ("Cameco") in various marketing and corporate development roles. He served as Vice President Marketing, from 2011 to 2017, leading a diverse team responsible for strategy development, sales and marketing, administration, and inventory and logistics management – resulting in the successful delivery of more than 30 million pounds U3O8 annually.  Through his career, Tim has worked directly with nuclear utilities from around the world, including having spent 8 years at Cameco's previous marketing and sales subsidiary in Minneapolis, USA.  Tim also has experience serving the World Nuclear Association's predecessor organization, the Uranium Institute, during a secondment, and as a board member of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP), a joint government/private non-profit organization that champions the province's export industry.

David Cates, President and CEO of Denison, commented "The uranium industry is small, and it is rare that we would have an opportunity to add someone with Tim's industry specific experience and background to our executive leadership team.  We are pleased to have Tim join the Denison team and we are looking forward to building a commercial and marketing function fitting with our Company's culture and strategy – particularly as we begin to organize our team for the next steps following the completion of the Wheeler River Pre-Feasibility Study, which is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter."

Mr. Gabruch will also be assuming responsibility for all commercial aspects associated with the Company's Management Services Agreement with Uranium Participation Corp. ("UPC")(TSX: U), as Mr. Scott Melbye, who currently serves as VP Commercial to UPC, is moving on from his part-time consulting role with the Company to pursue other opportunities in which he is involved.
