NexGen Announces Best Assays from Patterson Corridor East in Hole RK-25-232

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2025) - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) ('NexGen' or the 'Company') is thrilled to announce the Company's best discovery phase assay results, with 15.0 meters (m) at 15.9% U 3 O 8, including a peak intercept of 0.5 m at an exceptional 68.8% U 3 O 8, in drillhole RK-25-232. Included within this phenomenal intercept is 3.0 m at 47.8% U 3 O 8 and 1.5 m at 29.4% U 3 O 8. This result ranks among the highest-grade basement hosted uranium vein intercepts in the world. Assay results from two of the best holes drilled to date at PCE, RK-24-222 and RK-25-232, indicate intense high-grade mineralization 200 m apart (Figures 1 and 2, Tables 1 and 2), confirming scale and continuity early in the discovery phase. Winter activity since the last update continued to build momentum, adding 9 new intersections of off-scale (>61,000 cps) mineralization, bringing the total to 13 high-grade intercepts and reinforce confidence in the materiality of this emerging mineralization. Since discovery (see March 11, 2024, news release), 64 drillholes totalling 47,425.9 m have been completed, with 35 intersecting mineralization that remains open in most directions. Further, RK-24-222 returned 17.0 m at 3.85% U 3 O 8 including 3.0 m at 10.1% U 3 O 8 and an intercept of 0.5 m at 28.2% U 3 O 8 within massive replacement style uranium mineralization. These results are accelerating NexGen's understanding of the PCE system and shaping the next phase of exploration targeting. Assays at SRC lab continue to see backlogs with NexGen now having received 75% of the 2024 assay results. Remaining will follow as they are received back from the independent lab. Drilling at PCE will resume on June 1st, 2025, and reporting of 2025 assays will be completed on an ongoing basis. Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'Patterson Corridor East has delivered these exceptional assay results. RK-25-232 is an exceptionally high calibre intersection considering the program is very early in the evaluation of PCE. Identical to Arrow, mineralization at PCE is wholly hosted in competent basement rock and exhibits all the same characteristics of an intense high-grade mineralized system. PCE is only 3.5 km from the future Rook I Project that is in the final Federal approval stage with the CNSC having received Provincial Approval in November 2023. The scale of 2025 program drilling at PCE underscores NexGen's commitment to advancing new sources of uranium supply at a time the world is committing to the deployment of nuclear energy. Notably, President Trump last Thursday, signing four executive orders to immediately accelerate the deployment of nuclear energy in the US, with objective of increasing US nuclear energy output from 100GW to 400GW by 2050. The importance of Rook I and the further development of PCE has never been greater to meet the world's nuclear fuel requirements for the approaching decades.' Jason Craven, Vice President, Exploration, commented: 'These assays received to date confirm advancement of our 3D model of PCE which sets us up for targeting future drill hole locations at PCE. The focus to both expand the overall footprint as well as define and expand the high-grade sub-domains within PCE. Mineralization style and intensity, mirrored with Arrow 3.5 km away, speaks to the broader endowment of the underexplored NexGen portfolio in southwest Athabasca Basin. NexGen provides everyone with the tremendously unique opportunity of building a true tier one mine whilst simultaneously developing the exciting PCE.'

Argonaut Algorithm: Why uranium stocks could be back in investors' good books

Argonaut Funds Management's David Franklyn joins Stockhead to share investing secrets from the high-conviction resource sector investing fund, including his junior stock pick of the month. Uranium is back on the up, with a move to US$70/lb for spot prices in recent weeks breaking several months of malaise. While contract prices have remained stubborn, circling around the US$80/lb range for some time, spot prices have been under pressure since hitting decade highs of US$107/lb in January last year. That's come despite positivity around the long-term future for nuclear energy, with around 65 new reactors currently under construction worldwide and the World Nuclear Association tipping a doubling of demand out to 2040. The uranium market is already in a 50-60Mlb deficit, with ~156Mlb produced last year. In part that is because utilities have been well-supplied, and until recently were able to rely on bargain basement pounds from the spot market. 2024 was the strongest contracting year in over a decade. But this year has seen utilities nervous to deal, with potential tariffs hurting market confidence. Argonaut Funds Management's David Franklyn said the utilities had been holding on for a better deal, but that a supply rush was now looking too slow to come online. "They've had enough stocks to see it through, but there's been an expectation that then you've got a whole lot of new projects coming on stream, whether it's NexGen or Denison or Paladin or Boss," he said. "The expectation was that there was this emerging wave of production coming through. I think what we're seeing is that most of those projects have probably been pushed out a little bit. "The ones that have come on stream, they haven't delivered the volumes as quickly as the market was expecting." Franklyn said what Argonaut was hearing from the industry was that utilities were starting to put out expressions of interest for new contract volumes. More drivers Franklyn sees other positive drivers for uranium, underpinning the recent shift back to positive sentiment. Uranium has remained exempt from US tariffs, while the White House has also been rumoured to be preparing Executive Orders to induce quicker reactor builds and approvals, using the Department of Defense as a mechanism to circumvent historic bureaucratic processes. "That's very positive for future demand," Franklyn said. The European Commission is also looking at developing a roadmap that would restrict deals with Russia on enriched uranium, while tech giants are turning to nuclear to power their AI data centres, which are energy hungry and in need of low emissions, baseload power. "There's just this confluence of events with lots of positive news saying the demand for uranium is going to continue to increase and the market's, more and more conducive to that," Franklyn said. The Sprott Physical Uranium Trust also boosted market confidence on Monday night after committing to a US$25.55m non-brokered private placement. That meant it avoided having to sell uranium into the market to preserve its balance sheet, removing a key overhang for uranium equities. Franklyn thinks over the long-term prices will settle into a range of US$75-80/lb, but sees real risks of a run up to over US$100/lb as the market rebalances in the short term. Once NexGen Energy (ASX:NXG) has developed its Rook I project in Canada, there will be three major producers on the listed market – Kazakhstan's London-listed Kazatomprom, Canada's Cameco and the Canadian-Australian NexGen. Behind them are a number of Australian and Canadian companies who are smaller in scale and either still in the study phase or ramping up operational restarts. Many, notably Honeymoon mine owner Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) and Langer Heinrich operator Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN), remain heavily shorted, with close to a quarter of Boss' shares held short. Franklyn said there may be doubts from the market that ASX companies can keep their costs down and generate a strong margin if prices remain around US$70/lb. It should be noted both produced solid March quarters, with Boss generating 295,819lb of drummed uranium at a C1 cost of US$21/lb, while Paladin produced 745,484lb at US$40.6/lb at its Langer Heinrich mine in Namibia. Boss also has the majority 30% stake in enCore Energy's Alta Mesa project in Texas, which produced 130,015lb at a cost of US$36.11/lb in the first quarter. Argonaut's stock pick of the month Staying in the uranium space, and Franklyn sees two standouts. Both are listed in Canada, though the first one comes with a shared Australian listing as well. That's NexGen Energy (ASX:NXG), which owns the mammoth Rook I project in Saskatchewan's famously well-endowed and high-grade Athabasca Basin. "NexGen looks pretty compelling," Franklyn said. "It's got scale, it is going to be low cost. And you've got a view as to how the market might value it by looking at Cameco. " I think that is a standout in the sector." Rook I includes the Arrow project, which contains 3.75Mt of measured and indicated resources at a grade of 3.1% U3O8, for 257Mlb of uranium oxide. Its probable mineral reserves have been estimated at 240Mlb within 4.6Mt of ore at 2.37% U3O8, with Arrow to cost an estimated US$1.3bn to develop but run at costs of just US$7.58/lb U3O8, producing a monstrous 29Mlbpa over its first five years. NXG has had to navigate a complex permitting route for Rook I, but has line of sight now with hearing before the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission now set for November this year and February 2026. Franklyn also likes the look of TSX-listed ISO Energy. NXG holds close to 32% of the Canadian firm's shares, which are currently trading at C$9.28 for a market cap of C$446m. ISO holds the Hurricane Zone project in the Eastern Athabasca Basin, which contains an indicated resource of 63,800t at an obscene 34.5% U3O8 for 48.6Mlb. An inferred resource outside that contains 54,300t at 2.2% for 2.7Mlb of yellowcake, with the project around 40km from Orano's Maclean Lake mill. "To put that into context. Paladin is 0.07%, Boss is 0.04%, Deep Yellow is 0.03% and Bannerman is 0.02%," Franklyn said. "Cameco's Cigar Lake is about 15%, McArthur River is about 5% and NexGen, their overall project is about 3% but they've got high areas at about 15%. "So you can just see it's pretty unique, relatively good scale ... very high grade in an area with good infrastructure."

Carson Hocevar earns first NASCAR Cup pole, William Byron 2nd in Texas

Setting a fast time of 28.174s, Carson Hocevar was able to hang on for his first career pole in the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet on Saturday. It's a front row lockout for Team Chevy with William Byron putting the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in second, just 0.014s behind Hocevar's pole lap. Hocevar was also the fastest driver in the practice session that immediately preceded qualifying. "It's really big," smiled Hocevar. "It's really big for these guys. It's super impressive for what they've been able to do. This is the same group on pit road, off pit road, at the shop -- everyone working on the No. 77 is exactly the same as when I started here. It's just huge where we've been able to bring this team." Advertisement Hocevar admitted that he can be hard on himself at times, and didn't think he "nailed that lap," despite going to the top of the board. "Super proud of this team," he continued. "I've never been number one pit stall and I've had a lot of issue s on pit road. We've had a lot of bad luck, so I finally get the number one pit stall and I'm pumped about that." Carson Hocevar, Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Carson Hocevar, Spire Motorsports Chevrolet James Gilbert / Getty Images James Gilbert / Getty Images Last weekend's Talladega race winner Austin Cindric timed in third, leading the Ford camp. Kyle Larson was fourth and Hocevar's Spire Motorsports teammate Michael McDowell was fifth. Ty Gibbs led the Toyotas in sixth, followed by Josh Berry, Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, and AJ Allmendinger. Advertisement Defending Texas winner Chase Elliott will start deep in the field, only going fast enough for 29th. The good news is that he came from 24th on the grid to win here last year. He's not the only notable driver with some work to do on Sunday either with Ryan Blaney 24th, Kyle Busch 26th, Joey Logano 27th, Brad Keselowski 30th, and Ross Chastain 31st. There were no incidents during the qualifying session. History shows that the pole-sitter has not been able to translate that into a Cup win at Texas in three years of the Nex Gen era, which is something Hocevar will surely be hoping to change tomorrow.
