NexGen’s Rook I Project is positioned at the intersection of the demand for reliable, cost-effective clean energy and the intensifying global competition for artificial intelligence leadership. Located in one of the world’s premier mining regions, the project is set to deliver large-scale, long-life, low-cost, and highly cash-generative operations.

NexGen remains focused on advancing the Project through optimized development, strategic capital allocation, and responsible environmental stewardship, including strong Indigenous partnerships, aimed at maximum long term value creation.

The Company has continued to deliver tremendous progress through focused execution, thoughtful planning and a deep commitment to its core principles. Now, with approval to construct the Rook I Project and a comprehensive exploration program, NexGen is ensuring the generation of sustained value for all stakeholders.

Advancing a Generational Project with the Right Strategy and Proven Results

From the Company’s initial listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in April 2013 to December 31, 2025, NexGen’s share price increased 3,408%, outperforming the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index by 200%, the S&P/ TSX Composite Total Return Index by 277%, and the Global X Uranium ETF by 28% during that same period.

Over C$8Bn+ of value has been created since listing, growing at a CAGR of 32.3% annually.

The Board firmly believes NexGen’s stock option-based equity incentives have driven this long-term success reaffirming the effectiveness of its compensation strategy.

Efficient Use of Capital

NexGen has the lowest General and Administrative expenditure relative to market capitalization, just 0.60% in 2025, consistently below a peer group who averaged between 0.71% to as high as 1.21% from 2021 to 2025.

Among its uranium peers, NexGen maintains the highest ratio of Exploration and Development expenditure to Executive salary costs. In 2025, NexGen deployed $78.78 of Exploration and Development spend for every dollar of executive salary, three times the peer average of $25.28.

For every $1 invested in exploration and development, NexGen spends just $0.23 on G&A, or 9%. The peer average is $2.62, more than 11x higher.

Rewarding High-Performance, Driving Results

The Company’s compensation program is reflective of those of pre-production mining companies where capital preservation is essential for investments in project development. We need to stay highly competitive with the market to ensure the successful execution of the project development plan and a seamless transition into construction, commissioning, and operations.

The Company intentionally positions cash compensation at or below the 50th percentile for the CEO and other NEOs, and cash retainer below 50th percentile for directors.

Two pie charts comparing CEO and NEO pay distribution. 
            CEO: 6% Base Pay, 13% STI, 81% LTI — 94% at risk. 
            NEO: 13% Base Pay, 12% STI, 75% LTI — 87% at risk.

Board-Mandated Share Ownership for CEO and Directors

The Board requires the CEO and Independent Directors to own shares, and the CEO has significant share ownership.

NexGen has significant share ownership among our CEO and other NEOs, with the CEO holding ~82 times his salary in shares.

The Company maintain shareholder ownership guidelines for directors at 3x the cash retainer.

1Share Value is calculated based on the December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 closing price of the common shares on the TSX of $5.99, $9.27, $9.48 and $12.63, respectively, multiplied by the number of shares held by the CEO for each respective year.

2 Average of CEO Common Share Value divided by CEO Base Salary for Fiscal Year 2023, 2024 and 2025. Peers include Cameco Corp, Denison Mines Corp, Energy Fuels Inc, and Uranium Energy Corp. Energy Fuels Inc. 2025 data not available at the time of publishing, so its 2024 figures are used in the Peer 2025 average.

Rewarding High Performance

The Company purposefully skews its pay mix to emphasize long-term performance and “at-risk pay” with significantly less emphasis on cash compensation which both preserves cash and optimizes alignment with shareholders interests.

The Company empowers the team to think, act and be accountable as owners and uses incentives through equity that is genuinely at risk. 100% of managers and above with the Company for over 1 year hold stock options, and over 80% of all employees have been awarded stock options.

Over the last three years, Founder and CEO Leigh Curyer has increased his holdings by 28.9%.
