NexGen Achieves Major Permitting Milestone
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (“CNSC”) has notified NexGen of successful completion of final Federal technical review. This is the key requirement to scheduling a Federal Commission Hearing date and subsequent Federal Project approval decision. The Federal Environmental Assessment (“EA”) and License represent the final major approval steps after having received Provincial EA approval in November 2023. In production, the Rook I Project is poised to make NexGen one of the world’s largest and most environmentally conscious mining companies.
