NexGen Reports First Results from Winter 2016 Drilling Program

NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSXV:NXE, OTCQX:NXGEF) announced the first results from our highly anticipated 30,000 m winter 2016 drilling program on our 100% owned Rook I Property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
Highlights include:

Highlights:
A2 Shear:

• AR-16-64c2 (30 m up-dip and northeast from AR-15-44b) intersected 76.0 m of total composite mineralization including 26.15 m of total composite off-scale radioactivity (10,000 – >61,000 cps) within a 165.5 m section (414.0 to 579.5 m) including 5.5 m of composite radioactivity measuring a minimum of >61,000 cps in the Sub-Zone.
• AR-16-64c1 (21 m up-dip and southwest from AR-15-49c2) intersected 74.0 m of total composite mineralization including 14.0 m of total composite off-scale radioactivity (10,000 – >61,000 cps) within a 100.0 m section (433.5 to 533.5 m) in the Sub-Zone.
