Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer commented:
AR-15-62 was the final hole of the 2015 summer drill program and has produced the best mineralized intercept to date at the Arrow Zone. This result and our understanding of the A2 Sub-Zone sets NexGen up for an exciting winter 2016 drill program with the Sub-Zone being one of a number of objectives at Arrow and along strike.
