About NexGen Energy – Uranium

**What NexGen Energy does:**
NexGen Energy searches for and develops uranium deposits in Canada. Uranium is a metal used mainly as fuel for nuclear power plants. The company does not sell uranium yet, because its projects are still being developed. Once a deposit is built into a working mine, the company plans to make money by extracting and selling the uranium.

**Main project:**
The company's key asset is called the Rook I project. It covers 35,065 hectares (a large area of land) in the southwestern part of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. This region is known for having rich uranium deposits. NexGen Energy owns 100% of this project, meaning it does not share ownership with any partner companies.

**Markets and location:**
NexGen Energy focuses entirely on Canada. It does not currently operate in other countries. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

**Company background:**
NexGen Energy was founded in 2011, making it a fairly young company. Even though it is new, it holds large uranium assets that still need to be developed before they can generate revenue. Read more about the company
