NexGen Drills 30.35 m of Off-Scale in AR-15-62 in the Higher Grade A2 Sub-Zone and in AR-15-61c2 Drills 21.2 m Off-Scale in the A3 Shear
VANCOUVER, Oct. 29, 2015 /CNW/ - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX-V: NXE) ("NexGen" or the "Company") is pleased report radioactivity results from the final five holes of our highly successful summer 2015 drilling program on our 100% owned Rook I property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
All five drill holes reported in this news release have returned off-scale radioactivity. Hole AR-15-62 intersected extensive mineralization in the A2 shear marked by dense accumulations of massive to semi-massive pitchblende. This hole confirms the significant continuity of world-class uranium mineralization in the higher grade sub-zone of the A2 shear. Table 1 compares AR-15-62 to other drill holes within this sub-zone.
In addition, in the A3 shear, AR-15-61c2 has intersected the most off-scale for any hole drilled at Arrow to date with widespread and strong mineralization (up to >61,000 cps) within an area that is open in every direction and at depth. This hole represents an exciting new development for the A3 shear.
The summer program completed 33,010 m of drilling with 26 holes currently awaiting assays from SRC which are anticipated to be returned over the coming months. Results have demonstrated extensive growth at Arrow which remains open in all directions. The Company's focus for the remainder of the year will be to compile data for inclusion in a maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate due in the first half of 2016, and to prepare for an extensive winter drilling program scheduled to begin in early January, 2016.
Highlights:
A2 Shear
- AR-15-62 (22 m step-out up-dip and southwest from AR-15-44b) intersected 143.0 m of total composite mineralization including 30.35 m of off-scale radioactivity (10,000 - >61,000 cps) within a 240.0 m section (402.5 to 642.5 m) in the A2 shear anchored by near continuous off-scale radioactivity over 13.7 m (454.0 to 467.7 m) and an additional section of completely continuous off-scale radioactivity over 12.0 m (485.2 to 497.2 m).
- AR-15-59c4 (155 m step-out southwest from AR-15-44b) intersected 58.0m of total composite mineralization including 6.7 m of off-scale radioactivity (10,000 - 52,000 cps) within a 108.5 m section (501.0 to 609.5 m) in the A2 shear.

A3 Shear
- AR-15-61c2 (245 m step-out down-plunge and southwest from AR-15-48c1) intersected 93.75 m of total composite mineralization including 21.2 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – >61,000 cps) within a 185.5 m section (655.5 to 841.0 m) in an area of the A3 shear that is open in all directions. This is the best hole to date in the A3.
- AR-15-61c1 (232 m step-out down-plunge and southwest from AR-15-48c1) intersected 46.0 m of total composite mineralization including 5.8 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – >61,000 cps) within a 139.0 m section (684.0 to 823.0 m) in the A3 shear.
- The land-based and basement hosted Arrow zone currently covers an area of 645 m by 235 m with a vertical extent of mineralization commencing from 100 m to 920 m, and remains open in all directions and at depth;
- A total of 33,010 m were drilled this summer with assays pending for 26 holes. Preparations are already well advanced for the winter 2016 program which will commence in early January.
- The Company has cash on hand of approximately $20M
Garrett Ainsworth, Vice-President, Exploration and Development, commented "The robust continuity of the higher grade A2 sub-zone has been further established with this latest batch of radioactivity drilling results. Based on preliminary radioactivity results and visual inspection of the drill core, hole AR-15-62 is on par with holes AR-15-44b and -49c2, which returned continuous GT's of 655 and 605, respectively. Meanwhile, hole AR-15-61c2 has intersected the most off-scale mineralization (up to >61,000 cps) in the A3 high grade core to date, which has significantly developed the wide open A3 shear."
Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer commented, "The results from the summer 2015 program has exceeded all objectives. It has considerably extended the area of mineralization, identified a robust higher grade sub-zone of the A2, and to conclude with this batch of drill holes, delivered the best hole to date in the A3 shear, opening up another exciting path for Arrow's development. I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the entire NexGen team including our key contractors for their outstanding contribution. We are already well underway in our preparations for winter 2016 drilling which will materially expand the infrastructure and development of Arrow. It is an incredibly exciting time for shareholders and all involved with the Company."

Parameters:
- Maximum internal dilution 2.00 m downhole
- All depths and intervals are meters downhole
- "Anomalous" means >500 cps (counts per second) total count gamma readings by gamma scintillometer type RS-120
- "Off-scale" means >10,000 cps (counts per second) total count gamma readings by gamma scintillometer type RS-120
- Where "Min cps" is <500 cps, this refers to local low radiometric zones within the overall radioactive interval
Natural gamma radiation in drill core reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a Radiation Solutions Inc. RS-120 gamma-ray scintillometer. The reader is cautioned that total count gamma readings may not be directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured; they should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive minerals. All intersections are downhole. Core interval measurements and true thicknesses are yet to be determined.
Split core samples will be taken systematically, and intervals will be submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) of Saskatoon for analysis. All samples sent to SRC will be analyzed using ICP-MS for trace elements on the partial and total digestions, ICP-OES for major and minor elements on the total digestion, and fusion solution of boron by ICP-OES. Mineralized samples are analyzed for U3O8 by ICP-OES and select samples for gold by fire assay. Assay results will be released when received.
ARROW ZONE DRILLING
AR-15-59c3
Hole AR-15-59c3 was a directional hole that departed pilot hole AR-15-59c2 at a depth of 258 m. It tested the A2 shear 52 m southwest of AR-15-59c2 (16.9 m of off-scale radioactivity in the A2 shear; assays pending) and the A3 shear 40 m up-dip and to the southwest of AR-15-52 (1.48% U3O8 over 18.0 m in the A3 shear). Directional drilling was initiated at 271 m. The A2 and A3 shears were intersected at inclinations of -70° and -68°, respectively.
Since the hole departed the pilot hole below the unconformity, no Athabasca Group sandstones were intersected. Basement lithologies consisted largely of semipelitic gneiss to granofel, and relatively narrow intervals of pelitic gneiss and mylonite (the A2 and A3 shears). The hole successfully intersected widespread weakly to strongly anomalous radioactivity within the A2 and A3 shears that was associated with semi-massive veins, worm-rock style, chemical solution fronts, stringers, blebs and flecks of pitchblende. A total composite mineralization of 59.0 m including 2.85 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – >61,000 cps) was intersected within a 384.0 m section (488.0 – 872.0 m). In the A2 shear, 25.5 m of composite mineralization including 0.15 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. In the A3 shear, 29.0 m of composite mineralization including 2.7 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. The hole was terminated immediately after the A3 shear at 888.0 m.
AR-15-59c4
Hole AR-15-59c4 was a directional hole that departed pilot hole AR-15-59c3 at a depth of 270 m. It tested the A2 shear 41 m down-plunge to the southwest of AR-15-59c2, the A3 shear 44 m up-dip and to the southwest from AR-15-51 (6.45 m of off-scale radioactivity in the A3 shear; assays pending), and the A4 shear 42 m down-plunge to the southwest of AR-15-54c2. Directional drilling was initiated at 282 m. The A2 shear was intersected at an inclination of -75°. The A3 and A4 shears were intersected at an inclination -69°.
Since the hole departed the pilot hole below the unconformity, no Athabasca Group sandstones were intersected. Basement lithologies consisted largely of semipelitic gneiss to granofel, and relatively narrow intervals of pelitic gneiss and mylonite (the A2 through A4 shears). The hole successfully intersected weakly to strongly anomalous radioactivity within the A2, A3 and A4 shears that was associated with stringers, worm-rock style, chemical solution fronts, blebs and flecks of pitchblende. A total composite mineralization of 134.5 m including 8.95 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – 52,000 cps) was intersected within a 376.0 m section (501.0 – 877.0 m). In the A2 shear, 58.0 m of composite mineralization including 6.7 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. In the A3 shear, 72.5 m of composite mineralization including 2.15 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. In the A4 shear, 4.0 m of composite mineralization including 0.1 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. The hole was terminated at 987.0 m. It represents a 41 m down-plunge southwest step-out from AR-15-59c2 on the A2 shear.
AR-15-61c1
Hole AR-15-61c1 was a directional hole collared at an angled orientation (-75°) to the southeast (150° azimuth). It tested the A2 shear 38 m down-dip of AR-15-59c4 (6.7 m of off-scale radioactivity in the A2 shear; assays pending), the A3 shear 67 m up-plunge to the northeast of AR-15-52, and the A4 shear 80 m up-dip and to the southwest of AR-15-59c4. Directional drilling was initiated at 214 m. The A2, A3 and A4 shears were intersected at inclinations of -68°, -64° and -63°, respectively.
The hole intersected desilicified and bleached Athabasca Group sandstones between 94.5 m and the unconformity at 110.25 m. Basement lithologies consisted largely of semipelitic gneiss to granofel, and relatively narrow intervals of pelitic gneiss and mylonite (the A2 through A4 shears). The hole successfully intersected weakly to strongly anomalous radioactivity within the A2, A3 and A4 shears that was associated with semi-massive veins, stringers, worm-rock style, chemical solution fronts, blebs and flecks of pitchblende. A total composite mineralization of 90.5 m including 9.35 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – >61,000 cps) was intersected within a 369.0 m section (536.5 – 905.5 m). In the A2 shear, 36.5 m of composite mineralization including 2.4 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. In the A3 shear, 46.0 m of composite mineralization including 5.8 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. In the A4 shear, 8.0 m of composite mineralization including 1.15 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. The hole was terminated at 933.0 m. It represents significant growth on both the A2 and A3 shears.
AR-15-61c2
Hole AR-15-61c2 was a directional hole that departed pilot hole AR-15-61c1 at a depth of 229 m. It tested the A2 shear 58 m down-dip and to the northeast of AR-15-59c4, the A3 shear 50 m down-plunge to the southwest of AR-15-51 (6.45 m of off-scale radioactivity in the A3 shear; assays pending) and the A4 shear 67 m down-plunge to the southwest of AR-15-59c4. Directional drilling was initiated at 253 m. The A2 shear was intersected at an inclination of -72°. The A3 and A4 shears were intersected at an inclination of -71°.
Since the hole departed the pilot hole below the unconformity, no Athabasca Group sandstones were intersected. Basement lithologies consisted largely of semipelitic gneiss to granofel, and relatively narrow intervals of pelitic gneiss and mylonite (the A2 through A4 shears). The hole successfully intersected weakly to strongly anomalous radioactivity within the A2 and A3 shears that was associated with semi-massive to massive veins, stringers, worm-rock style, chemical solution fronts, blebs and flecks of pitchblende. A total composite mineralization of 130.75 m including 22.25 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – >61,000 cps) was intersected within a 342.0 m section (499.0 – 841.0 m). In the A2 shear, 37.0 m of composite mineralization including 1.35 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. Intense visible uranium mineralization was encountered in the A3 shear where 93.75 m of composite mineralization including 21.2 m of off-scale radioactivity was intersected. The hole was terminated at 1,053.0 m and represents the one of the strongest zones of mineralization intersected in the A3 shear to date.
AR-15-62
Hole AR-15-62 was a directional hole collared at an angled orientation (-75°) to the southeast (140° azimuth). It tested the A2 shear 22 m up-dip and to the southwest of AR-15-44b and 32 m down-dip and to the northeast of AR-15-58c1 (2.48% U3O8 over 80.5 m and 9.72% U3O8 over 35.5 m in the A2 shear). Directional drilling was initiated at 302 m. The A2 shear was intersected at an inclination of -76°.
The hole intersected desilicified and bleached Athabasca Group sandstones between 96.2 m and the unconformity at 104.3 m. Basement lithologies consisted largely of semipelitic gneiss to granofel, and relatively narrow intervals of pelitic gneiss and mylonite (the A2 shear). The hole successfully intersected widespread weakly to strongly anomalous radioactivity within the A2 shear that was associated with dense accumulations of semi-massive to massive pitchblende. Veins, stringers, worm-rock style, chemical solution fronts, blebs and flecks of pitchblende were also intersected. A total composite mineralization of 143.0 m including 30.35 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 – >61,000 cps) was intersected within a 240.0 m section (402.5 – 642.5 m), all within the A2 shear. Of particular note, near continuous off-scale radioactivity was intersected over 13.7 m (454.0 to 467.7 m). In addition, completely continuous off-scale radioactivity was intersected over 12.0 m (485.2 to 497.2 m). The hole was terminated immediately after the A2 shear at 657.0 m. It confirms the continuity of intense and extensive uranium mineralization in the higher grade sub-zone of the A2 shear.
