NexGen Returns 26.5 at 20.27 Percent U308 in Best Scissor Hole to Date at Arrow

NexGen (TSX:NXE) has reported assay results for 14 h oles from its summer drilling program on its 100 percent owned Rook I property in the Athabasca Basin.
As quoted in the press release:

Assays continue to confirm that holes drilled at the Arrow Deposit are strongly mineralized both inside and outside the A2 High Grade Domain as well as in other shears at Arrow including the A1 (see Figure 1). Of key importance, scissor holeAR-16-98c2 returned 73.5 m at 7.59% U3O8 including26.5 m at 20.27% U3O8 and 10.0 m at 51.40% U3O8 both inside and outside the A2 High Grade Domain. This represents a continuous grade x thickness (“GT” in U3O8x meters) of 558 which is the best interval drilled in any scissor hole (azimuth from southeast to northwest) at Arrowto date. Additionally, hole AR-16-96c2 returned 57.5 m at 4.17% U3O8 including 10.0 m at 15.73% U3O8 which was also intersected inside and outside of the A2 High Grade Domain.
In the A1 shear, hole AR-16-98c1 returned 21.0 m at 4.17% U3O8 including 5.0 m at 10.97% U3O8.The mineralized domains in the A1 shear remain largely undrilled over a strike length of at least 360 m. This represents a priority area for potential future resource growth.
In addition, the first assay results from the area between the Arrow Deposit grade shells, and the mineralized area 180 m to the southwest, have shown that strong, broad uranium concentrations are present. In this area, hole AR-16-97 returned 18.0 m at 2.64% U3O8 including 6.0 m at 5.89% U3O8. Mineralization extends from the Arrow Deposit 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource to the southwest for at least 240 m where it remains open in all directions.
