[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 22, 2021 /CNW/ - NexGen Energy Ltd. (\"NexGen\" or the \"Company\") (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) is pleased to announce the positive results of an independent Feasibility Study (\"FS\" or the \"Study\"), Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource update of the basement-hosted Arrow Deposit, located on the Company's 100% owned Rook I project (\"Arrow\" or the \"Project\") in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. The FS was completed jointly by leading consultants including: Stantec Consulting Limited (\"Stantec\"), Wood Canada Limited. (\"Wood\"), and Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (\"RPA\", now part of SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd), with other technical inputs completed by sub-consultants. Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: \"The environmental and economic results from the Rook I Feasibility Study place the Project as one of the leading global resource projects with an elite ESG profile. Today's delivery of the Feasibility Study is a significant milestone which transitions NexGen into the next key stage of advancement. The results will be included in the Environmental Assessment and Licensing processes which incorporates engagement, consultation, monitoring and data collection since 2013. The NexGen team's commitment to elite standards is evident throughout all aspects of the feasibility study, and the organization as a whole. With a minimal physical and carbon footprint, NexGen is uniquely positioned to become a world leader in the production of clean energy fuel. The global energy matrix is undertaking an enormous shift that will rely heavily on nuclear energy to deliver the decarbonization commitment for today's and future generations. It is proven to be a safe, clean and most reliably efficient form of power generation known to humankind. With all major countries signalling significant infrastructure spending, and re-prioritizing green energy policy as their major focus over this coming decade and beyond, Rook I will be a material component in the delivery of those global objectives. I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the entire NexGen team, and thank the local communities where we operate, as well as the Government of Saskatchewan and the Federal Government Canada for their outstanding commitment and support for execution of the Rook I Project'...
