NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSXV:NXE) reported that further angled drill testing at the Rook I property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, encountered significant dense accumulations of semi-massive to massive pitchblende mineralization with associated off-scale radioactivity from >10,000 to 60,000 cps
As quoted in the press release:
Highlights:
Arrow Zone
- Angled drill hole AR-15-37 intersected 76.0 m total composite mineralization including 9.35 m off-scale radioactivity (>10,000) within a 264.5 m section (405.0 to 669.5 m);
- Angled drill hole AR-15-38 intersected 82.35 m total composite mineralization including 4.5 m off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 cps) within a 247.5 m section (474.0 to 721.5 m). AR-15-38 has successfully extended the intensive high grade mineralization intersected in AR-14-30 to 81 m southwest along strike (within the previously established 515 m strike length of the Arrow zone);
Radon Target (400 meters along strike to north east of Arrow)
- The 3rd rig has commenced drilling at this high priority area where a clustered radon anomaly, optimally situated along the southeast dipping VTEM conductor, is projected to reach the unconformity. See Figure 4.
