Kevin Himbeault

I joined Denison Mines in 2022 to provide operational experience, leadership, and support to the team as we advance the Wheeler River Project through the various stages of engineering and design towards construction and future operation.  I bring significant operational and regulatory experience, with over 25 years of diverse involvement in the mining industry through consulting and operations management. In previous roles, I have been responsible for substantial improvements in mining and processing facilities, to ensure sustainability of operations.

Through my 18-years in direct operations management, I have led teams through multiple relicensing processes and provided senior management leadership for plant operations (including uranium processing, site infrastructure services, maintenance, and automation initiatives), as well as oversight of the development of safety, health, quality, environment, and radiation protection programs. I hold a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Toxicology from the University of Saskatchewan, which has uniquely positioned me to connect operational activities with environmentally responsible development. 

Outside of Denison I enjoy spending time with my family, supporting their artistic endeavours, playing music, and engaging in numerous outdoor activities.
