NexGen Energy Drills Off-Scale in Four Shears at Arrow Deposit

NexGen Energy (TSXV:NXE) has announced further results from its winter-spring drilling program on its Rook I Property.
As quoted in the press release:

Eight drill holes have intersected extensive mineralization, and offscale radioactivity (>10,000 to >61,000 cps) has been intersected in each of the A1, A2, A3 and A4 shears.
Within the A1 shear, the high grade mineralized interval from hole AR-16-84c1 (8.35 m of off-scale radioactivity with assays pending – see News Release dated April 14, 2016) has been confirmed and expanded with two further drill holes. This is highlighted by hole AR-16-84c3 which was drilled 33 m down-dip and southwest of -84c1 intersected 35.5m of total composite mineralization, including 2.6 m of total composite off-scale mineralization. This new area of high grade mineralization in the A1 shear is well outside and not part of the maiden Arrow deposit resource estimate that only includes drilling up to October 2015.
Drilling has also continued to confirm the robust nature of mineralization in the A2 shear where drill holes AR- 16-80c4, -81c3, and -86c1 all individually intersected more than 10 m of total composite off-scale mineralization. There is significant potential for expansion of the A2 high grade domain around each of these holes, and substantial massive to semi-massive uranium mineralization was intersected and remains wide open up dip and southwest from hole AR-16-86c1 in the higher grade A2 sub-zone (the “Sub-Zone”).
Hole AR-16-86c1 returned the largest total composite mineralization to date across the A1 to A3 shears. It was drilled at the currently defined southwest extent of the Sub-Zone intersecting 92.0 m of total composite mineralization in the A3 shear, and 246.0 m of total composite mineralization throughout the entire hole.

Garrett Ainsworth, vice-president, said:

These latest drill results of infill drilling continues to rapidly expand the size and scale of Arrow. Drill hole AR-16-86c1 has returned the highest total composite mineralization to date, which demonstrates the strength and width extent of the mineralizing system responsible for precipitating the Arrow deposit.
