The drilling will start at three rigs at the site and will continue until October 2014. It will focus primarily on expanding the area of basement mineralization at Arrow discovered in February 2014.
Additionally, a heli-rig will test the identified geophysical targets in the western section of Rook 1.
NexGen Energy CEO Leigh Curyer said: "Assays from the winter program at Arrow are expected shortly."
"Further, the team is looking forward to testing the other land based identified geophysical targets on the highly prospective Rook I project."
