URANIUM: NexGen outlines 25,000-metre drill program at Arrow zone

SASKATCHEWAN – NexGen Energy of Vancouver has begun a 25,000-metre summer drilling program at the Arrow zone, part of its Rook I property in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin.

There will be five drills in operation before the end of the month. Two will test the high grade mineralization in the A2 and A3 cores in preparation for release of an initial resource estimate. One will test previous undrilled areas of the A1, A2 and A3 shears in the hope of finding high grade uranium mineralization. The last two drills will test regional geophysical targets on the Rook I property along the Patterson and Derkson conductor corridors.

NexGen drilled the best grades ever from the Athabasca Basin last summer. Hole AR-14-30 returned 7.54% U₃O₈ over 63.50 metres, including 10.32% over 46.00 metres, including 35.19% over 7.00 metres, and including 66.80% over 0.50 metre.
