2024 ABEX Community Involvement Award
NexGen was honoured with the 2024 ABEX Community Involvement Award from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce for its genuine approach to building strong resilient communities through innovative and inclusive programs that are delivering a positive impact in the region.
Expanded Training and Education Programs
Expansion of the Company's education and training initiatives included the launch of NexGen's 'Pathways to Your Future' career development program. This, alongside other NexGen-initiated and funded programs have equipped over 500 local participants in the Local Priority Area ('LPA') with essential technical and workplace skills for careers in uranium mining since 2023.
Local Employment and Procurement Opportunities
Prioritizing communities within the Local Priority Area ('LPA'), NexGen exceeded its aspirational employment and procurement targets, with 82% of Rook I site employees being LPA residents, and 94% of Rook I cash expenditure awarded to LPA suppliers.
Environmental Performance Through Energy Efficiency
NexGen optimized power generation at the Rook I Project through the implementation of a centralized power generation system and the installation of a pilot 24-kilowatt solar power system.
Active Environmental Management During Exploration
NexGen minimized its environmental footprint during exploration activity through a single area focused drill program, resulting in a 73% reduction in overall land disturbance. Additionally, the Company reclaimed 83% of land disturbed by exploration activity in 2024.
Economic Impact Update
Building on the updated initial capital, and sustaining and operating costs released during 2024, an economic impact study of the Rook I Project points to the significant scale of its potential positive effects. The forecasted total economic impact to the Province of Saskatchewan and Canada over the development and 11-year production period is $37 billion, with an average of 1,400 annual total jobs. Importantly, the Project is being permitted for a 24-year mine life, underscoring the opportunity for potentially greater long-term benefits, both economically and socially, well beyond the initial forecast.
Climate-Related Disclosure Alignment ('TCFD')
NexGen completed a comprehensive TCFD gap analysis, followed by a climate-related risk assessment that evaluated physical and transition risks over short, medium, and long-term time horizons, ensuring that climate-related risks and opportunities are effectively integrated into NexGen's broader risk management and strategic planning.
The 2024 Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards, in alignment with the TCFD and has been reviewed and approved by NexGen's Executive Team, the Sustainability Committee as well as the full Board of Directors. NexGen will continue to optimize its sustainability reporting in line with the Company's focus on accountability and transparency.

This Stock Is Up Over 300% in 2025 -- and You May Have Never Heard of It
Key Points MP Materials is the best-performing large-cap stock of the year so far. Its big catalyst was a major deal with the U.S. government announced in July. The stock offers a unique value proposition that many investors will probably like. 10 stocks we like better than MP Materials › Skyrocketing stocks tend to attract plenty of attention from investors. Think Palantir Technologies or Robinhood Markets, both of which have more than doubled this year. But another stock has been an even bigger winner. This stock is up over 300% in 2025 -- and you may have never heard of it. MP who? MP Materials (NYSE: MP) has delivered a year-to-date return of 308% as of the market close on Aug. 1, 2025. That's the best performance of any large-cap stock, although MP Materials didn't start the year with a market cap over $10 billion. What does MP Materials do? The Nevada-based company is the largest producer of rare-earth materials in the Western hemisphere. It's also the only fully integrated rare-earth producer whose operations cover the entire supply chain, from mining to manufacturing. The "MP" in MP Materials' name stands for Mountain Pass. Located in San Bernardino County in California, Mountain Pass is home to the only large-scale rare-earth mining and processing site in North America. MP Materials' efforts aren't limited to this one location, though. It's also developing a manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The rare-earth materials mined and processed by MP Materials are used to make the strongest magnets in the world. These magnets are critical components in electric motors and generators that power drones, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, robotics, wind turbines, and more. Why this rare-earth materials stock has skyrocketed MP Materials was founded in 2017 to restart operations at Mountain Pass that had been idle for two years. The company listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange in 2020. The stock quickly took off, more than quadrupling by early 2022. That initial momentum eventually fizzled. MP Materials stock languished throughout much of the next three years. Shares began bouncing back in late 2024 and continued to climb during the first few months of 2025. The initiation of production at the company's Fort Worth facility in January helped spark investors' interest. However, the big story for MP Materials came on July 10. The company announced that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) was investing in it and would become its largest shareholder. The DoD also committed to setting a price floor of $110 per kilogram for MP Materials' neodymium-praseodymium rare-earth products for the next 10 years. In addition, the company revealed plans to construct a new U.S. magnet manufacturing facility, with the DoD agreeing to ensure that all magnets produced at the facility will be bought by commercial and defense customers. MP Materials also expects to boost its heavy rare earth separation capabilities at its Mountain Pass facility. Is MP Materials stock a buy now? Investors have a lot to like about MP Materials. The company is now backed by Uncle Sam. Even when a new president is in the White House, producing rare earth materials domestically will be a top priority -- and MP Materials is the only company that can do it. Are there any things that investors shouldn't like about this stock? Perhaps its valuation. MP Materials' shares trade at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 24.1. That's higher than the S&P 500's forward earnings multiple of 22.6 and the S&P 500 materials sector's multiple of 20. However, I don't think MP Materials' valuation is concerning when you consider the big picture. Few companies have guarantees that the products they produce will be bought, but MP Materials does -- at least the products produced at its planned second facility. Most businesses don't know for sure if their prices might be undercut by rivals. But MP Materials has a pricing floor that will be enforced by the U.S. government. I wouldn't count on MP Materials continuing to deliver the staggering returns we've seen in recent months. If you're looking for a relatively low-risk stock that not every investor knows about, though, this could be it. Should you invest $1,000 in MP Materials right now?

Trump, Carney expected to talk trade in coming days
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney seen here with President Donald Trump during a G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, on June 16, 2025. The two leaders are expected to talk trade in the next coming days, according to an Ottawa official. Photo via G7/UPI | License Photo Aug. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada are expected in the coming days to talk trade, according to Ottawa's U.S.-Canada trade minister. "I would expect the prime minister will have a conversation with the president in the coming days," Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said during an interview with CBS' Face The Nation on Sunday, after Trump on Thursday increased tariffs on goods from the Great White North not under the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade agreement from 25% to 35% amid trade negotiations between the two countries. Relations between the once strong partners have frayed under the Trump administration, which has repeatedly imposed tariffs on Canada as punishment over alleged fentanyl making its way into the United States over their shared border and in an attempt to right what the U.S. president sees as an unfair trade relationship. Trump has also publicly toyed with the idea of annexing Canada. Canada has responded with retaliatory tariffs of its own, while also seeking to strengthen relationships elsewhere and lessening its dependency on the United States. It has also rebutted the accusation that it is contributing to the United States' opioid crisis, as Carney pointed out in a statement Friday that it accounts for only 1% of U.S. fentanyl imports while implementing policies to continue reducing that amount. "We were obviously disappointed by that decision," LeBlanc said Sunday, referring to the imposition of additional tariffs on Thursday amid ongoing trade negotiations. "We believe there's a great deal of common ground between the United States and Canada in terms of building two strong economies that work well together. That's been the history of the 40-year free trade agreement that goes back to [U.S. President Roland] Reagan." Trump imposed tariffs of 10% on dozens of nations that had not worked out trade deals with the U.S. president beforehand. Canada was in the middle of talks with the United States when the new levies were announced. LeBlanc added that they are "pleased" the United States is "respecting" the terms of the USMCA as the tariffs do not affect goods that fall under that agreement. "That's vital, we think, to the cost of living and affordability, certainly in the United States," he said. He was speaking to Face The Nation from Moncton, N.B., but had been in Washington working on a deal, and he left Washington "with a better understanding of the American concerns in the trading relationship." "So, we're prepared to stick around and do the work needed," he said. "We remain very optimistic."
