NexGen Announces Final 2024 and New 2025 Assay Results at Rapidly Growing Patterson Corridor East (PCE)
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 29, 2025) - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) ('NexGen' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce additional exciting 2024 and winter 2025 assay results from exploration at Patterson Corridor East ('PCE'). Assays from 2024 are now fully received (Table 1). New assays received from early winter 2025 with RK-25-227 returning 12.0 meters (m) at 3.46% U 3 O 8 including 2.5 m at 14.9% U 3 O 8 and an impressive 31.0% U 3 O 8 over 0.5 m (Figure 1, Table 2). RK-25-227 is located 100 m down plunge of hole RK-25-232, and 100 m up dip from RK-24-222, demonstrating the continuity of this high-grade mineralization. Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'These new assays demonstrate PCE's high grade intensity and scale of mineralization, reflecting the emergence of a second major high-grade mineralized system 3.5km to the east of Arrow. To date, PCE is mirroring Arrow in many respects - basement hosted with a high grade sub-domain. Drilling will continue to systematically test both the overall footprint extent and inner high grade sub-domain at PCE which both remain open in all directions. As demand for nuclear power continues to grow and Big Tech companies alongside global policy makers and a wide range of industries continue to adopt nuclear power. The demand is increasing considerably faster than ever anticipated and the opportunity for the southwest section of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan to service this worldwide demand is massive for local communities, Saskatchewan and Canada. NexGen will continue to add resources through its efficient discovery and delineation of uranium resources to its already world recognized Rook I Project and prospective land holdings that remains over 95% unexplored.' Jason Craven, Vice President, Exploration, commented: 'With the complete assay results for 2024 and early 2025, we are excited by the rapid growth of this material discovery and the similarities it exhibit to Arrows. The majority of the 2025 drill campaign remains ahead of us and the team is intensely focused on further unlocking the scale of PCE in the same cost and time efficient manner delivered with Arrow.'

The Report marks the fifth year that NexGen has reported on the Company's robust Environmental, Social, and Governance profile. In addition to reporting in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative ('GRI') Standards, the Report demonstrates alignment with the Task Force of Climate-related Financial Disclosures ('TCFD'). The Report is available on the Company's website: 2024 Sustainability Report Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: '2024 proved to be a landmark year for NexGen - one defined by major achievements that bring us to the final stages of delivering the world's largest high-grade uranium project, while delivering the most elite standards of health and safety, environmental protection and social well-being for all of our stakeholders. The exciting new discovery at Patterson Corridor East, further underscores the exceptional prospectivity of our land package and the long-term growth potential for the Company. With each milestone, we are not only advancing the Rook I Project but also shaping the landscape of responsible resource development. As we move toward becoming one of the most strategic mining companies, our steadfast commitment to sustainable development, elite environmental stewardship, and genuine community partnerships remains at the core of everything we do.' Key Highlights from the Report: Completion of Federal Environmental Assessment Technical Review and Setting of Hearing Dates NexGen achieved a historic regulatory milestone, successfully completing the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission ('CNSC') Environmental Assessment ('EA') technical review in November of 2024 - a first for a greenfield uranium mine and mill in Canada in 20 years. This follows the completion of the Provincial EA in November 2023. The Company is now preparing for the CNSC Commission Hearing currently scheduled to be complete in February 2026, and pending a positive EA decision, is ready to immediately commence construction. 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.
