Arrow is a rapidly growing uranium discovery located in the Athabasca Basin. NexGen has had a +90% hit rate with drilling at Arrow, with mineralization expanding in all directions over a 645m by 215m area to depths of over 900m. Two high-grade shear zones, A2 and A3, have been identified at Arrow and remain open. A new discovery, Bow, was also made 3.7km from Arrow. NexGen is well funded with $29M cash and an aggressive drilling program is underway to further define the potential of Arrow and new targets in the region.

Uranium Market (Demand)
A Story of Stable Demand Growth and Uncertain Supply
Nuclear Electricity Growth
• Nuclear energy fuels 11% of the global electricity needs
• 930 GW needed by 2050 to support existing global decarbonisation mandates
• Equates to a 2.3 times increase in nuclear energy demand in just 35 years
Uranium Demand
• Average demand growth estimated at ~4% per year to 2024

Investment and Reactor Builds
• Currently 437 nuclear reactors in operation globally
• As of April 2015, 65 nuclear reactors are under construction
• China: 26 currently, 23 under construction, 187 in planning/proposal phase
• China Nuclear Power Corp. “looking to invest in Canada in the near future” (Dec. 2014)

Lack of Economic Uranium Deposits
• In 2014 world uranium
consumption was

(now over)
• Estimated supply gap of
nearly 100Mlbs per year
by 2030
• 11 of top 15 uranium
mines are under sever
sovereign risk (Russia,
Kazakhstan, Niger)
End of HEU agreement in 2013 removed the equivalent of
McArthur River’s annual production from supply

The Eagle Point Analogy
Eagle Point is an underground mine operated by Cameco
- Eagle Point current mineral reserves: 15.2Mlbs at 0.61% U3O8. 2014 annual production of 4.2Mlbs
- Underground mine using longhole stoping in the competent basement rock
- Eagle Point deposits are located on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin, and are part of the Rabbit Lake Uranium district which also
includes the Rabbit Lake and Collins Bay deposits.
- Rabbit Lake District produced +198Mlbs of uranium concentrates since production began in 1975

2. Thorburn Lake: 9 of 15 drill
holes have intersected uranium
mineralization.
3. Madison and 2Z Lake:
contain shallow (<100m thick)
sandstone-hosted uranium
mineralization, and is along
strike from U-mineralized
conductors. Represent good
potential for discovery of new
basement-hosted uranium
deposits.
