NexGen Energy shares rose Tuesday morning after the company said it has passed a federal technical review, a key requirement and step forward for getting its Saskatchewan uranium project approved.
Shares traded 6.4% higher at 11.82 Canadian dollars ($8.43).
The Canadian uranium producer said the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission notified the company of the successful completion of final federal technical review for the Rook 1 project, confirming that it has successfully addressed all information requests required.
With completion of the CNSC technical review, the next and final steps in the federal approval process include scheduling a commission hearing date for the project, from which the company expects to receive an approval decision on the project.
"This development reinforces Canada's path to re-establish itself as the leader in global uranium supply and partner of choice," the company said.
