VANCOUVER, March 28, 2019 /CNW/ - NexGen Energy Ltd.
("NexGen" or the "Company") (TSX: NXE, NYSE MKT: NXE) is
pleased to report radioactivity results for the first twenty holes
comprising 8,216.5 m from the
Company's first phase of Feasibility-stage drilling program at our
100% owned, Rook I property in the Athabasca Basin Saskatchewan.
Highlights:
Objective I: Conversion of Indicated to Measured in the A2
Sub-Zone
Nineteen targets have been successfully intersected within the
A2 Sub-Zone. This current phase of the program focuses on targets
intersected at a spacing between 9.0
m and 16.7 m (based on
geostatistical data spacing report compiled by Clayton V. Deutsch from Resource Modeling
Solutions) for Indicated Mineral Resources to be elevated to a
Measured Mineral Resource classification. All drill holes
intersected the target between -55° and -60° utilizing the latest
in directional drilling technology.
The highlights below include composite and off-scale
radioactivity results from the A2 Shear only, for radioactivity
results for the entire hole see Table 1: Arrow Deposit Drill Hole

Development, Activities & Financial
- Expediting Arrow to Feasibility by initiation of a 2-stage
125,000m (10 rig) high density
drilling program that commenced in mid-December 2018 to focus on mine
optimization plans based on Measured and Indicated mineral
resources.
- The Company has approximately $100 million in the
treasury which fully funds NexGen for all drilling,
feasibility and development programs planned this year.
Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "This
development focused drilling continually highlights the incredible
nature and strength of Arrow in terms of the continuity of high
grade uranium. Intersecting the type of mineralization
reported in today's release with such regularity is simply unique
and continually increases the technical strength of Arrow. We
look forward to delivering the results of the 10 rig program
throughout 2019."
Troy Boisjoli, Vice-President,
Operations and Project Development, commented: "These results
demonstrate the confidence in the continuation of high-grade
uranium mineralization within the A2 Sub-Zone. This initial release
is just the beginning of what will surely be another highly
successful 2019 program as the Company moves towards completing the
Feasibility Study which will incorporate an updated mineral
resource estimate based on the 2019 drill campaign which is the
largest in the Company's history."

Parameters:
- Maximum internal dilution 2.00 m
downhole
- All depths and intervals are metres downhole, true thicknesses
are yet to be determined
- "Anomalous" means >500 cps (counts per second) total count
gamma readings by gamma scintillometer type RS-120
- "Off-scale" means >10,000 cps (counts per second) total
count gamma readings by gamma scintillometer type RS-120
- Where "Min cps" is <500 cps, this refers to local low
radiometric zones within the overall radioactive interval
- Directional drilling has often resulted in mineralization
intersected at a more favourable and shallower dip
- Hole AR-19-226c1a was terminated due to deviation in the
overburden

Technical Disclosure
The technical information in this news release with respect to
the PFS has been reviewed and approved by Paul O'Hara, P.Eng. of Wood., David Robson, P.Eng., M.B.A., and Jason Cox, P.Eng. of RPA, each of whom is a
"qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards
of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects ("NI-43-101").
The Mineral Resource Estimate was completed by Mr. Mark Mathisen, C.P.G., Senior Geologist at RPA
and Mr. David Ross, P.Geo., Director
of Resource Estimation and Principal Geologist at RPA. Both
are independent Qualified Persons in accordance with the
requirements of National Instrument (NI) 43-101 and they have
approved the disclosure herein. All other technical information in
this news release has been approved by Mr. Troy Boisjoli, Geoscientist Licensee, Vice
President – Operations & Project Development for NexGen.
Mr. Boisjoli is a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101
and has verified the sampling, analytical, and test data underlying
the information or opinions contained herein by reviewing original
data certificates and monitoring all of the data collection
protocols. All other technical information in this news
release has been approved by Mr. James
Hatley, a Professional Engineer, Senior Vice-President –
Project Development for NexGen. Mr. Hatley is a qualified
person for the purposes of NI 43-101 and has reviewed the
underlying the information or opinions contained herein on mine
design.
A technical report in respect to the PFS is filed on SEDAR
(www.sedar.com) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml) and is
available for review on NexGen Energy's website
(www.nexgenenergy.ca).
SEC Standards
Estimates of mineralization and other technical information
included or referenced in this news release have been prepared in
accordance with NI 43-101. The definitions of proven and probable
mineral reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in
SEC Industry Guide 7. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a
"final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report
reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any
reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary
environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate
governmental authority. As a result, the reserves reported by the
Company in accordance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as "reserves"
under SEC standards. In addition, the terms "mineral resource",
"measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and
"inferred mineral resource" are defined in and required to be
disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms
under SEC Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be
used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. Investors are cautioned not to
assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these
categories will ever be converted into reserves. "Inferred mineral
resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal
feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an
inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher
category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred
mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Additionally,
disclosure of "contained pounds" in a resource is permitted
disclosure under Canadian securities laws; however, the SEC
normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does
not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and
grade without reference to unit measurements. Accordingly,
information contained or referenced in this news release containing
descriptions of the Company's mineral deposits may not be
comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies
subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of
United States federal securities
laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Technical Information
For details of the Rook I Project including the quality
assurance program and quality control measures applied and key
assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the Mineral
Resource please refer to the technical report entitled "Arrow
Deposit, Rook I Project Saskatchewan NI 43-101 Technical Report on
Pre-feasbility Study" dated effective 5
November, 2018 (the "Rook 1 Technical Report") prepared by
Paul O'Hara, P.Eng., Jason J. Cox, P.Eng., David M. Robson, P.Eng., M.B.A., Mark B. Mathisen, C.P.G. each of whom is a
"qualified person" under NI 43-101. The Rook I Technical Report is
available for review under the Company's profile on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com and EDGAR (www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml) providing details
of the Rook I Project including the quality assurance program and
quality control measures applied and key assumptions, parameters
and methods used to estimate the Mineral Resource and is available
on NexGen Energy's website (www.nexgenenergy.ca).
Forward-Looking Information
The information contained herein contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking
information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. "Forward-looking information" includes, but is not
limited to, statements with respect to the activities, events or
developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may
occur in the future. Generally, but not always, forward-looking
information and statements can be identified by the use of words
such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled",
"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes"
or the negative connotation thereof or variations of such words and
phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may",
"could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be
achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.
Forward-looking information and statements are based on the
then current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and
forecasts about NexGen's business and the industry and markets in
which it operates. Forward-looking information and statements are
made based upon numerous assumptions, including among others, that
the proposed transaction will be completed, the results of planned
exploration activities are as anticipated, the price of uranium,
the cost of planned exploration activities, that financing will be
available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third
party contractors, equipment, supplies and governmental and other
approvals required to conduct NexGen's planned exploration
activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely
manner and that general business and economic conditions will not
change in a material adverse manner. Although the assumptions made
by the Company in providing forward looking information or making
forward looking statements are considered reasonable by management
at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will
prove to be accurate.
Forward-looking information and statements also involve known
and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may
cause actual results, performances and achievements of NexGen to
differ materially from any projections of results, performances and
achievements of NexGen expressed or implied by such forward-looking
information or statements, including, among others, negative
operating cash flow and dependence on third party financing,
uncertainty of the availability of additional financing, the risk
that pending assay results will not confirm previously announced
preliminary results, imprecision of mineral resource estimates, the
appeal of alternate sources of energy and sustained low uranium
prices, aboriginal title and consultation issues, exploration
risks, reliance upon key management and other personnel,
deficiencies in the Company's title to its properties, uninsurable
risks, failure to manage conflicts of interest, failure to obtain
or maintain required permits and licenses, changes in laws,
regulations and policy, competition for resources and financing,
and other factors discussed or referred to in the Company's Annual
Information Form dated March 4, 2019
under "Risk Factors".
Although the Company has attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in the forward-looking information or implied by
forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause
results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking information
and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated,
estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements or information. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update or reissue forward-looking
information as a result of new information or events except as
required by applicable securities laws.
