of applicable Canadian securities legislation. "Forward‐looking information" includes, but is not limited to,
statements with respect to the activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will
or may occur in the future. 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

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

looking information and statements are made based upon numerous assumptions, including among others,
that the proposed transaction will be completed, the results of planned exploration activities are as anticipated,
the price 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.
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, 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, imprecision of mineral resource
estimates, the appeal of alternate sources of energy and sustained low uranium prices, aboriginal title and
consultation issues, exploration risks, 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 licenses, changes in laws, regulations and policy, competition for resources and
financing, and other factors discussed or referred to in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March
31, 2017 under "Risk Factors".
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 implied by forward‐looking information,
there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
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 reliance 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.
