NexGen Reports Off-Scale Radioactivity at Rook 1, Expands A2 Sub-Zone

NexGen Energy (TSXV:NXE) announced radioactivity results from nine holes from its ongoing summer drill program at the Rook 1 property in the Athabasca Basin. The company reported that multiple drill holes intersected substantial off-scale radioactivity at Arrow.
As quoted in the press release:

Multiple drill holes have intersected substantial off-scale radioactivity at Arrow as rapid expansion of the high grade mineralization continues. Hole AR-15-59c2 has intersected dense accumulations of massive and semi-massive pitchblende 130 m southwest of AR-15-44b in the A2 high grade shear. The hole has expanded the known extents of the newly defined higher grade sub-zone within the A2 core where the strike length has increased by 49 m (from 113 to 162 m). This zone remains open to the southwest. Figure 3 shows the long section intercept of AR-15-59c2, and Table 1 compares it to other drill holes within the higher grade sub-zone of the A2 shear.
Additionally, hole AR-15-57c3 intersected strong off-scale radioactivity in both the A2 and A3 shears while AR-15-54c4 intersected strong off-scale radioactivity in the A2 shear. The expanded 30,000 m summer 2015 drill program continues with the Company focusing on continuing to define the higher grade sub-zone within the A2 core as well as infilling the A2 through A4 southwest extensions of Arrow.

Leigh Curyer, CEO of NexGen Energy, commented:

Arrow continues to deliver outstanding results over a broad area of mineralization. The emergence of the higher grade sub zone within the A2 is just one of a number of exciting developments at Arrow. The summer program being expanded for a second time is a function of the drilling success and efficiency of the entire NexGen team and contractors working together in such a committed manner.
