(Fission Uranium Corp. PEA September 14, 2015).  Nexgen Energy Ltd. has reported (March 31, 2017) that the Arrow Deposit’s Mineral Resource comprises an Indicated mineral resource of 179,500,000 pounds of U3O8 within 1.18M tonnes grading 6.88% U3O8, and an inferred mineral resource of 122,100,000 pounds of U3O8 contained within 4,250,000 tonnes grading 1.30% U3O8.The Carter Lake Uranium Project, which borders Purepoint/Cameco/AREVA’s Hook Lake Project to the east, has basement depths estimated at between 400-500 metres, within the general discovery range of the McArthur River mine.  The principal exploration target at Carter Lake is approximately 4.7 kilometres of subsurface conductive anomalies, identified in a 2006 MegaTEM survey and a 2008 VTEM survey, both completed by ESO Uranium Corp.  The anomalies are interpreted as a conductive horizon, at or above the unconformity and which may be indicative of hydrothermal enrichment.About the acquisition, Tim Fernback, President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased to acquire 100% of the Carter Lake Uranium Project, and look forward to closing the transaction in the coming days.  With the success of Carter Lake’s neighbors, Nexgen and Fission, the board of Senator is very excited about giving its shareholders exposure to this opportunity.”Peter Born, P.Geo., a Qualified Person, has reviewed and approved the disclosure of technical information within this news release.Tim Fernback
