The hole RK-14-30, a 215m step out from the Arrow discovery hole RK-14-2, located in the Arrow gravity anomaly intersected strongest radiometrically anomalous zones (numerous zones totaling 47.2m, including numerous individual zones totaling 8.3m >10,000cps).
Till date, a total to seven out of the eight holes at Arrow have intersected uranium mineralization over a minimum strike length of 215m and remains open to the south-west.
NexGen exploration and development vice-president Andrew Browne said that the Arrow discovery dimensions have now been significantly broadened in only 8 holes.
"Detailed petrography and petrophysics are the immediate programs during breakup, and we are looking forward to our summer drilling program to further test the wider Arrow prospect," Browne added.
"Additionally, we are greatly motivated to apply what we have discovered at Arrow to other prospects at Rook I."
NexGen CEO Leigh Curyer said that the company is fully funded with $15m cash in the bank to aggressively drill it and other Rook I prospects throughout 2014.
"We are extremely pleased with the discovery of Arrow. Hole RK-14-30 was a massive step out from the discovery hole RK-14-21, which shows the confidence of our technical team’s view in the discovery," Curyer added.
