NexGen Energy Reports Strong Radon Anomalies Yielding High Priority Drill Target at Rook I

Company News

NexGen Energy (TSXV:NXE) is reporting it found rado levels up to 10.4 pCi/L along a 480 meter long zone as part of a lake water survey on the Rook I property. The radon values are in the same range as those which lead to the discovery of the R390E and R780E zones at the adjacent Patterson Lake South property owned by Fission.

  NexGen Energy (TSXV:NXE) is reporting it found rado levels up to 10.4 pCi/L along a 480 meter long zone as part of a lake water survey on the Rook I property. The radon values are in the same range as those which lead to the discovery of the R390E and R780E zones at the adjacent Patterson Lake South property owned by Fission.

According to the press release, highlights include:

  • A multi-point 480 m long by 20 to 150 m wide radon in lake water anomaly has been discovered 400 m northeast along strike from the Arrow zone (see Figure 1);
  • Radon values up to 10.4 pCi/L are in the same range as the radon values that lead to the discovery of the R390E R780E zones at the adjacent PLS property by the Alpha-Fission joint venture (see news release February 19th, 2013);
  • This radon anomaly discovery has developed a high priority drill target that will be drilled during the ongoing winter 2015 program;
  • Location of this clustered radon anomaly is optimally situated where the southeast dipping VTEM conductor is projected to reach the unconformity.

Leigh Curyer, chief executive officer, said:

Arrow is currently developing rapidly into a significant resource in its own right. To identify an additional target zone meeting all geophysical and geochemical parameters to justify drilling only 1km north east of Arrow is incredibly exciting for the Company.
