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.

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.

NexGen Energy announced voting results for its Board of Directors election and appointed Sharon Birkett as a new board member at its annual meeting on June 17, 2025. All nine nominees were successfully elected, with voting percentages ranging from 57.17% to 99.60%. Birkett, who brings nearly two decades of experience as CFO of Multi-Color/Collotype Labels and expertise in financial management, will serve as Chair of the Audit Committee. She replaces Trevor Thiele, who retired after 12 years of service. The board changes also include the departure of Susannah Pierce, who withdrew her nomination due to other commitments. Birkett's appointment is particularly significant given her track record in completing 30 bolt-on acquisitions worth $20 million to over $1 billion, and her expertise in corporate governance and financial management.

NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) has released its 2024 Sustainability Report, marking significant achievements in environmental, social, and governance initiatives.

The company expanded its training programs, benefiting over 500 local participants, and aligned with TCFD standards for climate-related disclosures.

NexGen Energy has received approval from Saskatchewan's Ministry of Environment for its 2025 Site Program at the Rook I Property. The program includes three major infrastructure developments: a temporary exploration airstrip, expansion of camp facilities with 373 additional beds, and improvements to the site access road. These enhancements will support the company's exploration activities, particularly at the Patterson Corridor East (PCE) discovery, located 3.5km east of the Arrow deposit. The program will begin in the coming weeks and is expected to complete with camp commissioning in Q1 2026. Premier Scott Moe expressed strong support for the project, highlighting its significance for Saskatchewan's uranium mining sector. The program emphasizes local participation and will create new employment opportunities for Indigenous and community members.
