Vancouver-based NexGen Energy Ltd. has announced further results from our on-going six rig 30,000 m winter 2016 drill program on our 100% owned Rook I Property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
Garrett Ainsworth, Vice-President, Exploration and Development, commented: “Results from hole AR-16-63c2 are simply stunning, and represent the strongest radioactivity ever recorded at the Arrow zone. The continuity of mineralization in the higher grade A2 sub-zone is clearly evident. Furthermore, this zone remains open and will be tested further this winter together with exploring for other potential ‘sub-zones’ at Arrow. Hole -63c2 has a similar radioactivity profile to AR-15-62 (returned continuous GT of 787), except it has nearly seven times as much minimum >61,000 cps. The gamma probe comparison between the two holes really says it all.”
Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The Arrow zone has again delivered a truly unique hole. The winter 2016 program has already produced highly material results in only its first month of operation, highlighting Arrow’s current and future potential. Our six rig program will continue to define the A2 sub-zone further as well as drill for zone extensions and along strike from Arrow.”
