NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) has announced significant drilling results from its summer program at the Patterson Corridor East (PCE). Key highlights include step-out holes RK-25-254 and RK-25-256 intersecting 2.0m and 2.1m of off-scale (>61,000 cps) mineralization, located 51m up-dip and 119m down-dip of PCE's best hole to date (RK-25-232 with 15m at 15.9% U3O8).
The program has completed 21,968.9m of the planned 43,000m in 2025. Since discovery in March 2024, 79 drillholes totaling 53,088.9m have been completed, with 48 holes mineralized, including 34 intersecting high-grade and 14 intersecting off-scale mineralization. Notably, the high-grade mineralization in RK-25-254 was found at just 454.4m depth, ranking among the shallowest massive uranium intersections ever drilled by NexGen.
NexGen Energy (NYSE:NXE) has secured a new uranium offtake contract with a major US utility for 1 million pounds of uranium annually over five years, starting from first commercial production. This agreement doubles NexGen's contracted volumes to over 10 million pounds total.
The contract incorporates market-related pricing mechanisms at delivery time, maximizing future price leverage. NexGen maintains 229.6 million pounds of uncontracted reserves from its Arrow Deposit at the Rook I Project for future optimization.

[]NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) has announced significant uranium exploration results from its Patterson Corridor East (PCE) project, located 3.5km east of its Arrow deposit. The latest assays from hole RK-25-227 revealed 12.0 meters at 3.46% U3O8, including impressive high-grade sections of 2.5m at 14.9% U3O8 and 0.5m at 31.0% U3O8.
The results demonstrate continuity of high-grade mineralization, with RK-25-227 positioned 100m down plunge of hole RK-25-232 (which previously returned 15.0m at 15.9% U3O8) and 100m up dip from RK-24-222 (which showed 17.0m at 3.85% U3O8). The PCE discovery is showing similarities to NexGen's Arrow deposit, being basement hosted with a high-grade sub-domain.
NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) has acquired Rio Tinto's 10% production carried interest (PCI) over 39 mineral claims in the Southwest Athabasca Basin, including the Patterson Corridor East (PCE) discovery. This strategic acquisition gives NexGen 100% ownership of its entire portfolio, which includes the Rook I project (home to Arrow and PCE deposits), SW1, and SW3.
The transaction involves a confidential cash payment to Rio Tinto and eliminates the previous arrangement where Rio Tinto would have received 10% of future production. This consolidation strengthens NexGen's position in the uranium market, which is experiencing structural deficit amid increasing demand, particularly driven by over US$100BN in AI data centers planned to be powered by nuclear energy.
