NexGen Energy Reports More Drill Results from Rook 1

NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSXV:NXE,OTCQX:NXGEF) released results from eight angled holes completed as part of an ongoing winter drill program at its Athabasca Basin-based Rook I project.
Highlights include:

Southwest Extension:

• AR-16-77c2 (180 m southwest step-out) intersected 109.5 m of total composite mineralization including 2.3 m of total composite off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – 50,000 cps) within a 163.5 m section (615.5 to 779.0 m).

A2 Shear:

• AR-16-76c3 (58 m up-dip and southwest from AR-15-44b) intersected 67.5 m of total composite mineralization including24.35 m of total composite off-scale radioactivity (10,000 – >61,000 cps) within a 124.5 m section (470.5 to 595.0 m) in the Sub-Zone.
• AR-16-76c4 (81 m down-dip and southwest of AR-15-44b) intersected 105.7 m of total composite mineralization including20.85 m of total composite off-scale radioactivity (10,000 – >61,000 cps) within 171.5 m section (494.0 to 665.5 m) in the Sub-Zone.

Garrett Ainsworth, vice president, exploration and development, at NexGen, commented:

Hole AR-16-77c2 has intersected significant mineralization and alteration located 180 m southwest from the current Arrow resource model extent.  The frequency and intensity of dravite breccias that we have observed in hole -77c2 are akin to what we see proximal to the higher grade A2 sub-zone, so undoubtedly we are excited to continue drilling wide spaced step-outs in this area of high potential for another high grade sub-zone.
