NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) has launched an expanded 43,000-meter exploration drill program at Patterson Corridor East (PCE), located 3.5 km east of the Arrow Deposit. This represents a 9,000-meter increase from the 2024 program and is expected to be one of the largest in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan in 2025.
The initial PCE results revealed vein-type uranium mineralization, with the mineralized footprint growing to 600m along strike and 600m of vertical extent. In the 2024 campaign, 19 of 30 initial holes intersected mineralization, with 10 holes showing high-grade mineralization of >10,000 cps. The 2025 drilling will focus on testing mineralized footprint extents and investigating high-grade zones.
The company maintains a strong financial position with over $800M in cash and liquid assets, ensuring funding for both the Rook I Project development and the PCE exploration program.
NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) has secured its first uranium sales agreements with major US nuclear utility companies, covering 5 million pounds of uranium delivery. The contracts feature market-related pricing mechanisms at delivery time, with 1M lbs U3O8 per annum scheduled from 2029 to 2033.
The pricing structure varies based on uranium market prices, ranging from $79/lb at $80 market price to $150/lb at $175 market price. The company maintains 231,660,000 lbs U3O8 in uncommitted Probable Mineral Reserves from the Rook I Project. These strategic agreements position NexGen to maximize value in a strengthening uranium market while establishing itself as a reliable Western World nuclear fuel source from Saskatchewan, Canada.
NexGen Energy has achieved a significant milestone in the Federal Environmental Assessment process for its Rook I Project, as the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) confirmed successful completion of the final Federal technical review. This follows the CNSC deeming NexGen's Federal licence application sufficient in September 2023 and Provincial EA approval in November 2023. The next steps include scheduling a Commission Hearing Date and subsequent Federal Project approval decision. With over $800 million in cash and liquid assets, NexGen is construction-ready pending Commission approval. The Project has been undergoing Canada's regulatory process since 2019.
NexGen Energy has completed its 2024 drilling campaign at Patterson Corridor East (PCE), with exceptional results from hole RK-24-222 showing a 17.0m wide vein with multiple high-intensity uranium mineralization. The campaign covered 34,000 meters across 46 drillholes, with 19 of 30 holes intersecting mineralization. The mineralized zone has expanded to 600m strike length and 600m vertical extent. A high-grade sub-domain now covers 100m of strike and 170m depth. The PCE discovery is located 3.5km east of the Arrow deposit, with assays expected in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.
