NexGen Energy Ltd. reported assay results from an additional six angled drill holes from the highly successful summer 2015 program on the 100% owned, Rook I property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Assays from hole AR-15-61c2 represent the best returned from the A3 shear to date, with strong uranium grades in two separate and wide intersections, including 10.5 m at 8.52 U3O8 and an additional interval of 37.0 m at 6.30% U3O8 including 15.0 mat 10.10% U3O8. This second interval represents a continuous grade x thickness (GT) of 236 which is the best to date in the A3 shear.

Hole AR-15-59c3 also intersected high-grade uranium mineralization at the currently defined southwest extent of the A3 shear including 4.5 m at 13.17% U3O8. High-grade uranium intercepts in the A3 shear from holes AR-15-61c2 and -59c3 are open and represent top priority drill targets for the 30,000 m winter 2016 drill program. AR-15-62 which intersected 30.35 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 to >61,000 cps) in the higher grade A2 sub-zone is the only hole that has assay results pending from the summer 2015 program.
