The Rook I project is located immediately adjacent to, and on trend, northeast from Fission Uranium’s high-grade uranium discovery, Patterson Lake South (PLS) project.
NexGen CEO Leigh Curyer said the company is fully funded to execute the program, and is expected to commence another drill program over the coming months.
"Rook I has multiple targets based on the results of the 2013 summer drilling program and previous geophysical programs conducted over the past two years," Curyer added.
The program will focus on targets generated from the results of the 2013 summer drilling program.
The 2013 summer drilling program identified 3 holes intersecting uranium mineralization across an area covering 1.6km x 1.2km directly adjacent to and along strike from PLS and covering the interpreted extension of the PLS 3b conductor.
The program also includes testing of previously identified targets based on detailed geophysical surveys of the Rook I project.
