Forward-Looking Information

The information contained herein contains "forward -looking statements" within the meaning of applicable United

States securities laws and regulations and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian

securities legislation. "Forward -looking information" includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to

mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, the 2021 Arrow Deposit, Rook I Project and estimates of uranium

production, grade and long-term average uranium prices, anticipated effects of completed drill results on the Rook

I Project, planned work programs, completion of further site investigations and engineering work to support basic

engineering of the project and expected outcomes. Generally, but not always, forward- looking information and

statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled",

"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or the negative connotation thereof or variations of

such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be

taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.  Statements relating to "mineral resources"

are deemed to be forward- looking information, as they involve the implied assessment that, based on certain

estimates and assumptions, the mineral resources described can be profitably produced in the future.

Forward-looking information and statements are based on the then current expectations, beliefs, assumptions,

estimates and forecasts about NexGen's business and the industry and markets in which it operates. Forward -

looking information and statements are m ade based upon numerous assumptions, including among others, that

the mineral reserve and resources estimates and the key assumptions and parameters on which such estimates

are based are as set out in this news release and the technical report for the property , the results of planned

exploration activities are as anticipated, the price and market supply of uranium, the cost of planned exploration

activities, that financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third party contractors,

equipment, supplies and governmental and other approvals required to conduct NexGen's planned exploration

activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely manner and that general business and economic

conditions will not change in a material adverse manner. Although the assumptions made by the Company in

providing forward looking information or making forward looking statements are considered reasonable by

management at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate in the future.

Forward-looking information and statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other

factors, which may cause actual results, performances and achievements of NexGen to differ materially from any

projections of results, performances and achievements of NexGen expressed or implied by such forward-looking

information or statements, including, among others, the existence of negative operating cash flow and dependence

on third party financing, uncertainty of the availability of additional financing, the risk that pending assay results will

not confirm previously announced preliminary results, conclusions of economic valuations, the risk that actual

results of exploration activities will be different than anticipated, the cost of labour, equipment or materials will

increase more than expected, that the future price of uranium will decline or otherwise not rise to an economic

level, the appeal of alternate sources of energy to uranium -produced energy, that the Canadian dollar will

strengthen against the U.S. dollar, that mineral resources and reserves are not as estimated, that actual costs or

actual results of reclamation activities are greater than expected, that changes in project parameters and plans

continue to be refined and may result i n increased costs, of unexpected variations in mineral resources and

reserves, grade or recovery rates or other risks generally associated with mining, unanticipated delays in obtaining

governmental, regulatory or First Nations approvals, risks related to First Nations title and consultation, reliance

upon key management and other personnel, deficiencies in the Company's title to its properties, uninsurable risks,

failure to manage conflicts of interest, failure to obtain or maintain required permits and li cences, risks related to

changes in laws, regulations, policy and public perception, as well as those factors or other risks as more fully

described in NexGen's Annual Information Form dated  March 6, 2024 filed with the securities commissions of all

of th e provinces of  Canada except Quebec and in NexGen's 40 -F filed with the United States Securities and

Exchange Commission, which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and Edgar at www.sec.gov .

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ

materially from those contained in the forward -looking information or statements or implied by forward -looking

information or statements, there may b e other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or

intended. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward -looking information or statements due

to the inherent uncertainty thereof.

There can be no assurance that forward -looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual

results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers

should not place undue reli ance on forward -looking statements or information. The Company undertakes no

obligation to update or reissue forward -looking information as a result of new information or events except as

required by applicable securities laws.
