(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% U3O8, including a peak intercept of 0.5 m at an exceptional 68.8% U3O8, in drillhole RK-25-232. Included within this phenomenal intercept is 3.0 m at 47.8% U3O8 and 1.5 m at 29.4% U3O8. 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% U3O8 including 3.0 m at 10.1% U3O8 and an intercept of 0.5 m at 28.2% U3O8 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, an...
