Company Overview

NexGen Energy Ltd. is a Canadian uranium exploration and development company focused on advancing projects in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. The company’s primary asset is the 100%-owned Rook I property, which hosts the Arrow uranium deposit and other discoveries.

NexGen’s main objective is to develop Rook I into a large-scale uranium mining and processing operation. The company conducts exploration, resource evaluation, engineering, environmental assessment and project permitting activities, rather than currently selling uranium or operating a producing mine.

The Athabasca Basin is one of the world’s major uranium-producing regions, and NexGen’s activities are concentrated in northern Saskatchewan. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is led by Chief Executive Officer Leigh Curyer, who has been associated with NexGen since its early development.
