ABSTRACT:VANCOUVER, Dec. 14, 2016 /CNW/ - NexGen Energy Ltd. ("NexGen" or the "Company") (TSX:NXE, OTCQX:NXGEF) is pleased to report assay results for 23 holes from our summer drilling program on our 100% owned, Rook I property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. At Arrow, both step-out and infill holes show significant and widespread high-grade uranium mineralization. In the A2 High Grade Domain, scissor hole AR-16-111c1 returned 60.0 m at 4.70% U3O8 including 27.0 m at 10.27% U3O8. Additionally, scissor hole AR-16-106c1 which was drilled 55 m northeast and up-dip from AR-16-111c1 returned 40.5 m at 6.92% U3O8 including 27.0 m at 10.10% U3O8. Assays from four step-out holes drilled northeast of the A2 High Grade Domain have confirmed the presence of strong uranium mineralization. Highlighting this is hole AR-16-108c2, which was drilled 30 m northeast of AR-14-30 (see News Release dated October 6, 2014) and outside of the A2 High Grade Domain returned 49.5 m at 3.07% U3O8 including 11.0 m at 10.23% U3O8. In the area between the Arrow Deposit grade shells and the mineralized area 180 m to the southwest, assays indicate that solid zones of uranium mineralization are present. In this area, hole AR-16-103 which was drilled 265 m down-dip and northeast from hole AR-16-90c3 (see News Release dated June 13, 2016), returned 17.5 m at 1.75% U3O8 including 8.0m at 3.63% U3O8. Mineralization extends from the Arrow Deposit 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource to the southwest for at least 240 m where it remains open in all directions.
