High-Grade Zone Expands 17%
Vertical extent of the PCE high-grade subdomain grew 94 m to 644 m, with hole RK-26-293 intersecting 4.7 m of >10,000 cps including 0.1 m of >61,000 cps at 930 m depth.

Best Hole at PCE to Date
RK-26-290c1 intersected multiple stacked uranium veins across 40 m, with cumulative 19.5 m of >10,000 cps including 5.2 m of >61,000 cps — the best hole at PCE based on off-scale readings.
-
Strong Internal Continuity Confirmed
RK-26-294 returned 6.9 m of >10,000 cps including 3.1 m of >61,000 cps, located 27 m up-dip of RK-24-222 (17.0 m at 3.85% U3O8), confirming connectivity of intense mineralization.

Fifth Drill Rig Added
NexGen is adding a fifth drill rig for the remainder of the 2026 program; 20,138.7 m of the planned 42,000 m has been completed to date.
Analysis · NXE · Energy & Transportation
The Patterson Corridor East discovery continues to deliver. Vertical extent of the high-grade subdomain now reaches 644 m, a 17% increase, and hole RK-26-290c1 returned the best intersection at PCE since discovery: 19.5 m of >10,000 cps including 5.2 m of off-scale (>61,000 cps) uranium. Management is adding a fifth drill rig, signaling confidence in continuity and scale to justify accelerating the program. For a company whose Rook I project is already under construction, PCE represents the next leg of resource growth — and these results materially de-risk that upside.
