VANCOUVER, Nov. 3, 2015 /CNW/ - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX-V: NXE) ("NexGen" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from five angled holes from our highly successful summer 2015 drilling program on our 100% owned Rook I property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.



Assay results from AR-15-54c1 which was drilled 87 m up-dip and southwest of AR-15-44b (56.5 m at 11.55% U3O8) have again confirmed the presence of dense accumulations of massive pitchblende in the higher grade A2 sub-zone. This substantial zone of uranium mineralization is currently defined by six holes over a strike length of at least 162 m. Assay results from two of these six holes remain pending. Also in the A2 shear, assays from AR-15-53c2 returned significant mineralization 91 m down-dip from AR-15-44b.



Additionally, within the A3 shear, holes AR-15-56c1 and AR-15-51 both returned widespread mineralization from an area that remains wide open in the southwestern portion of the A3 high-grade shear. Holes AR-15-56c1 and -51 were drilled 225 m and 196 m down-dip and to the southwest, respectively from AR-15-48c1 (24m at 5.43% U3O8). These assay results are located in the zone where AR-15-61c2 was drilled and returned the strongest radioactivity results recorded in the A3 shear to date (See News Release dated October 29th, 2015).
