NexGen Energy (TSXV:NXE) has announced further results from its recently completed spring drilling program on its 100 percent owned Rook I Property in the Athabasca Basin.
As quoted in the press release:

Eight drill holes have intersected extensive mineralization, and off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 to >61,000 cps) has been intersected in each of the A1, A2, A3 and A4 shears.
The new high grade zone within the A1 shear was initially discovered with drill hole AR-16-84c1 (8.35 m of off-scale radioactivity with assays pending – see News Release dated April 14, 2016), and has been significantly expanded towards the northeast with drill holes AR-16-91c3 and -91c4. Holes -91c3 and -91c4 were drilled 30 m up-dip and northeast and 25 m down-dip and northeast, respectively from hole -84c1. The A1 shear currently has a mineralized strike length of 360 m and remains largely untested.
Substantial high grade mineralization also continues to be encountered in the A2 shear. Drill holes AR-16- 84c4, -91c1, -91c3, -91c4 and -92c1 each intersected massive to semi-massive pitchblende mineralization and significant off-scale radioactivity with intervals at greater-than-61,000 cps.
Assay results remain pending for 30 holes, including intensely mineralized holes from the A2 Sub-Zone and the newly discovered area 180 m southwest of Arrow. Furthermore, six drill rigs are now fully operational at Rook I, with a seventh rig expected to start in mid-July.
