NexGen Energy Completes Ground DC Resistivity Survey, Doubles Size of Drill Program at its 100% Owned Rook 1 Project
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/13 -- NexGen Energy Ltd (TSX VENTURE: NXE) ("the Company" or "NexGen") is pleased to announce it has entered into a contract with GDC Drilling for diamond core drilling at its 100% owned Rook I project to commence mid-August 2013.
Highlights
The 3,000m program (approximately 20 holes) will incorporate two rigs and focus upon target areas in the southwestern section of Rook I identified by VTEM airborne and ground gravity surveys. The targets are all land based, at shallow depth and immediately northeast to the high-grade uranium mineralization discovered on Patterson Lake South. The northeast trending mineralized conductor corridor is interpreted to extend into the southwestern zone of Rook I. (See figure 1 for Rook I project location map).
The recently completed ground DC resistivity survey covering the southwestern area of Rook I will further assist in refining previously identified drilling targets. (See figure 2 for Rook I ground DC resistivity grid location)
Leigh Curyer, NexGen's CEO commented "The 100% owned Rook I is an exciting project for NexGen and our investors. NexGen has doubled the size of the drill campaign; the land-based targets are shallow and are only some of a number of highly prospective identified target areas on the property. We look forward to commencing this campaign in mid-August."
