NexGen Energy Ltd. discovered off-scale radioactivity, Bow Discovery, approximately 3.7 km northeast and along trend from the Arrow zone in the Rook I property, Athabasca Basin. Bow is now a high priority area, and is coincident with the recent radon anomaly that tracks the strike of a VTEM conductor from 730 meters up to 140 meters wide. This particular radon anomaly has the highest reading of all known radon anomalies in the area with a peak reading of 36.0 pCi per L, and is 80 m south of off-scale radioactivity drilled in hole BO-15-10.
Hole BO-15-10 intersected 2.5 m total composite mineralization including 0.10 m off-scale radioactivity, that is greater than 10,000 to 10,200 cps, within a 5.0 m section from 206.5 to 211.5 m depth associated with veinlets, flecks and blebs of pitchblende within a sheared, strongly chlorite altered pelitic gneiss aka mylonite. BO-15-10 is a 66.0 meter step out to the east of hole BO-15-02, where lake depths range between 2.1 to 2.2 meters.
BO-15-02 intersected 3.0 m discrete mineralization from 202.0 to 205.0 m depth from drill holes BO-15-02 and -10 targeted a coincident VTEM conductor and radon in lake water anomaly with a peak reading of 36.0 pCi per L.
Multiple radon anomalies have been discovered along the northeast 3.7 km VTEM conductor from Arrow, and on the parallel VTEM conductor to the north. These radon anomalies are optimally situated along breaks and kinks in the VTEM conductors.
The 2015 winter drilling program has been expanded to a minimum 20,000 meters. Drilling will continue to focus on Arrow expansion at the two high grade core zones in A2 and A3, and on step outs from the discovery holes BO-15-02 and -10 at Bow.
