REPORTING ENTITY | 1. REPORTING ENTITY NexGen Energy Ltd. (“NexGen” or the “Company”) is an exploration and development stage entity engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation and development of uranium properties in Canada. The Company was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act th The Company commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) In February 2016, the Company incorporated four wholly owned subsidiaries: NXE Energy Royalty Ltd., NXE Energy SW1 Ltd., NXE Energy SW3 Ltd., and IsoEnergy Ltd. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries were incorporated to hold certain exploration assets of the Company. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, certain exploration and evaluation assets were transferred to each of IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy”), NXE Energy SW1 Ltd. and NXE Energy SW3 Ltd. (Note 5). Subsequent to the transfer, IsoEnergy shares were listed on the TSX-V. |

NATURE OF OPERATIONS | 2. NATURE OF OPERATIONS As an exploration and development stage company, the Company does not have revenues and historically has recurring operating losses. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $212,301,767 and working capital of $67,684,005. The Company will be required to obtain additional funding in order to continue with the exploration and development of its mineral properties and to repay its convertible debentures (Note 9), if required. The business of exploring for minerals and development of projects involves a high degree of risk. NexGen is an exploration and development company and is subject to risks and challenges similar to companies in a comparable stage. These risks include, but are not limited to, the challenges of securing adequate capital; development and operational risks inherent in the mining industry; changes in government policies and regulations; the ability to obtain the necessary environmental permits or, alternatively NexGen’s ability to dispose of its exploration and evaluation assets on an advantageous basis; as well as global economic and uranium price volatility; all of which are uncertain. During the year, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic known as COVID-19 COVID-19 The underlying value of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral reserves and is subject to, but not limited to, the risks and challenges identified above. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets. |

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Statement of Compliance These consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 9 Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value, including the convertible debentures issued by the Company (Note 9). In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. All monetary references expressed in these notes are references to Canadian dollar amounts (“$”), except as otherwise noted. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. During the year, the Company recast the prior year allocation of shareholders’ equity between reserves, accumulated deficit and non-controlling non-controlling Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. Uncertainty about these judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. The information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty considered by management in preparing the financial statements is as follows: (i) Impairment At the end of each financial reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial (ii) Share-based payments The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options and warrants in order to calculate share-based payments expense and the fair value of broker warrants. The Black-Scholes model involves six key inputs to determine fair value of an option: risk-free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life, and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates that involve considerable judgment and are or could be affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control. The Company is also required to estimate the future forfeiture rate of options based on historical information in its calculation of share-based payments expense. Refer to Note 10 for further details. (iii) Convertible debentures The Company uses a model based on a system of two coupled Black-Scholes equations to determine the fair value of the convertible debentures. This model involves five key inputs to determine the fair value of the convertible debentures: risk-free interest rate, credit spread, market price at valuation date, expected dividend yield and historical volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates that involve considerable judgment and are or could be affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control. Refer to Note 9 for further details. The information about significant areas of judgment considered by management in preparing the financial statements is as follows: (i) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of tax losses and other temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable income together with future tax planning strategies. Refer to Note 15 for further details. (ii) Going concern The Company’s management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue its business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next year. Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis. (iii) Exploration and evaluation assets The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. The determination of reserves and resources is itself an estimation process that requires varying degrees of uncertainty depending on how the resources are classified. |

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements: (a) Functional and Presentation Currency These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. Translation of transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Non-monetary (b) Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries: NXE Energy Royalty Ltd., NXE Energy SW1 Ltd., NXE Energy SW3 Ltd. and IsoEnergy. Shares of IsoEnergy were issued to third parties as part of financings since its inception, thereby resulting in the recognition of non-controlling Name of Subsidiary % Ownership as of December 31, 2020 NXE Energy Royalty Ltd. 100 % NXE Energy SW1 Ltd. 100 % NXE Energy SW3 Ltd. 100 % IsoEnergy Ltd. 51 % (c) Cash Cash includes deposits held with banks that are available on demand and guaranteed investment certificates with original maturities of three months or less or that are readily convertible into cash. (d) Exploration and evaluation assets Once the legal rights to explore a property have been obtained, exploration and evaluation costs are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis pending determination of the technical feasibility and the commercial viability of the project. Capitalized costs include costs directly related to exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest. When a claim is relinquished or a project is abandoned, the related costs are recognized in profit or loss immediately. Proceeds received from the sale of any interest in a property will be credited against the carrying value of the property, with any excess included in operations for the period. If a property is abandoned, the acquisition and deferred exploration costs will be written off to operations. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. A property may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or inadvertent non-compliance Management regularly assesses exploration and evaluation assets for events or circumstances that may indicate possible impairment. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining assets and development assets within property, plant and equipment. (e) Equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Items of equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a part of an item in the carrying amount of equipment is recognized when that cost is incurred, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. (iii) Depreciation The carrying amounts of equipment (including initial and subsequent capital expenditures) are amortized to their estimated residual value over the estimated useful lives of the specific assets concerned. Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful lives of each significant component as follows: - Computing equipment 55% declining balance basis - Software 55% declining balance basis - Field equipment 20% declining balance basis - Leasehold improvements Lease term - Road 5-year - Lease right-of-use Lease term straight-line basis Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at least annually and adjusted if appropriate. (iv) Disposal Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item of equipment and are recognized in profit or loss. (f) Leases The Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”). IFRS 16 specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all major leases. The impact of the transition is shown below. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: • The contract involves the use of an identified asset. This may be specific, explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; • The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and • The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when is has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. The Company recognizes a right-of-use right-of-use The right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrow rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use right-of-use The Company has elected to apply the recognition exemption not to recognize right-of-use low-value Impact of transition to IFRS 16 On initial application, the Company has elected to record right-of-use Right-of-use The transition to IFRS 16 from IAS 17 is shown in the reconciliation table below, starting with the lease commitments below as at December 31, 2018 and adjusting for the operating expenses included in the lease commitments and the discounted portion of the lease commitment to equal the Lease liability as at January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 – Leases Standard Reconciliation Lease Commitments as at December 31, 2018 under IAS 17 $ 5,534,933 Less: Operating expenses of Leases (1,611,366 ) Less: Impact of Discounting on Lease liability (701,187 ) Lease liability as at January 1, 2019 under IFRS 16 $ 3,222,380 (g) Impairment An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash generating unit (“CGU”), exceeds its recoverable amount. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the period. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to CGUs and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. (h) Decommissioning and Restoration Provisions Decommissioning and restoration provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation and discount rates. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows discounted at the market discount rate. Over time the carrying value of the liability is increased for the changes in the present value based on the current market discount rates and liability risks. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Changes in reclamation estimates are accounted for prospectively as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost. The Company did not have any decommissioning and restoration provisions for the years presented. (i) Share Capital Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their market value at the date the shares are issued. The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in the private placements to be the more easily measurable component and the common shares are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing market price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as reserves. (j) Share-based payments The Company’s stock option plan allows Company employees, directors, officers and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as share-based payments expense with a corresponding increase in equity reserves. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Fair value is measured at grant date, and each tranche is recognized using the graded vesting method over the period during which the options vest. At each financial reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees non-employees (k) Flow-through shares Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors under Canadian income tax legislation. On issuance, the Company separates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability and ii) share capital. Upon qualifying expenditures being incurred, the Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for the taxable temporary difference that arises from the difference between the carrying amount of eligible expenditures capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets and its tax base and the premium liability is reduced and recognized as a reduction of deferred tax expense. Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares must be expended on Canadian resource property exploration within a period of two years. Failure to expend such funds as required under the Canadian income tax legislation will result in a Part XII.6 tax to the Company on flow-through proceeds renounced under the “Look-back” Rule. When applicable, this tax is classified as a financial expense. (l) Loss per Share Basic The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and other similar instruments. Under this method, the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the deemed proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the period. (m) Income taxes Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognize a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plan for the Company. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. (n) Financial Instruments (i) Classification The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as at FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument The Company has the following financial instruments, which are classified under IFRS 9 in the table below: Financial assets/liabilities Classification Cash Amortized cost Amounts receivable Amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Convertible debentures FVTPL (ii) Measurement Financial assets at FVTOCI Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. The Company’s Convertible Debentures have been recognized at FVTPL. (iii) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost Under IFRS 9, the Company recognizes a loss allowance using the expected credit loss model on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. (iv) Derecognition Financial assets The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within the accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Financial liabilities The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash |

FLOW-THROUGH SHARE PREMIUM LIABILITY | 8. FLOW-THROUGH SHARE PREMIUM LIABILITY IsoEnergy has raised funds through the issuance of flow-through shares. Based on Canadian tax law, IsoEnergy is required to spend this amount on eligible exploration expenditures by December 31 of the year after the year in which the shares were issued. The premium paid for a flow-through share, which is the price paid for the share over the market price of the share, is recorded as a flow-through share premium liability. This liability is subsequently reduced when the required exploration expenditures are made, and accordingly, a recovery of flow-through premium is then recorded as a reduction in the deferred tax expense. As of December 31, 2020, IsoEnergy is obligated to spend $4,000,000 (December 31, 2019—$3,412,807) on eligible exploration expenditures by December 31, 2021. The flow through shares issued during the year ended December 31, 2020 were issued at a price below market value on the date of issue and therefore no flow-through share premium liability was recorded. A continuity of the flow-through share premium liability is as follows: Year ended Year ended Balance, beginning of the year $ 227,522 $ 550,392 Liability incurred on flow-through shares issued 0 233,340 Settlement of flow-through share liability on expenditure made (227,522 ) (556,210 ) Balance, end of the year $ 0 $ 227,522 |

The loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was bifurcated with the amount of the change in fair value of the convertible debentures attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability recognized in other comprehensive loss of $2,888,050 (2019—$3,212,139) and the remaining amount recognized in loss for the year of $76,492,786 (2019 – gain of $21,821,831). (a) 2016 Debentures On June 10, 2016, the Company issued US$60 million principal amount of convertible debentures (the “2016 Debentures”) which were determined to be a hybrid financial instrument comprised of the host debt contract and multiple embedded derivatives. The Company received gross proceeds of $76,416,000 (US$60 million) and net proceeds of $72,363,602 (US$56,852,383) after deducting $4,052,398 (US$3,147,617) in transaction costs from the issue of the 2016 Debentures. A 3% establishment fee of $2,292,480 (US$1.8 million) was also paid to the debenture holders through the issuance of 1,005,586 common shares. The fair value of the 2016 Debentures on issuance date was determined to be $74,123,520 (US$58.2 million). Pursuant to an amended and restated trust indenture dated July 21, 2017, the maturity date of the 2016 Debentures was extended to July 22, 2022. The fair value of the 2016 Debentures increased from $61,149,632 (US$47,081,639) on December 31, 2019 to $94,768,430 (US$74,433,263) at December 31, 2020, resulting in a loss of $33,618,798 (US$27,351,624) for the year ended December 31, 2020. This loss, combined with the loss on the 2017 Debentures (see Note 9(b)), the loss on the 2020 Debentures (see Note 9(c)) and the loss on the IsoEnergy Debentures (see Note 9(d)) for the year ended December 31, 2020 was bifurcated with the amount of the change in fair value of the convertible debentures attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability recognized in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount recognized in loss for the year.

The inputs used in the 2016 Debentures pricing model as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Volatility 38.00 % 38.00 % Expected life in years 1.56 years 2.56 years Risk free interest rate 0.20 % 1.69 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Credit spread 19.53 % 23.96 % Underlying share price of the Company $ 3.51 $ 1.67 Conversion exercise price US$ 2.3261 US$ 2.3261 Exchange rate (C$:US$) $ 0.7854 $ 0.7699 (b) 2017 Debentures On July 21, 2017, the Company issued US$60 million principal amount of convertible debentures (the “2017 Debentures”) which were also determined to be a hybrid financial instrument comprised of the host debt contract and multiple embedded derivatives. The Company received gross proceeds of $75,294,000 (US$60 million) and net proceeds of $72,482,854 (US$57,759,864) after deducting $2,811,146 (US$2,240,136) in transaction costs from the issue of the 2017 Debentures. A 3% establishment fee of $2,258,820 (US$1.8 million) was also paid to the debenture holders through the issuance of 869,271 common shares. The fair value of the 2017 Debentures on issuance date was determined to be $73,035,180 (US$58,200,000).

At their respective initial recognition date, the entire convertible instrument was measured at fair value with associated transaction costs expensed as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, the convertible financial instrument is marked to market at each financial reporting date and any change in fair value is recognized in profit or loss with the exception that the change in fair value that is attributable to the change in credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income. The Convertible Debentures bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in US dollars on June 10 and December 10 in each year. Two thirds of the interest (equal to 5% per annum) is payable in cash and one third of the interest (equal to 2.5% per annum) is payable, subject to any required regulatory approval, in common shares of the Company, using the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the common shares on the exchange or market that has the greatest trading volume in the Company’s common shares for the 20 consecutive trading days ending three trading days preceding the date on which such interest payment is due. For this purpose, the VWAP shall be converted into US dollars on each of the 20 days in the period, using the indicative rate of exchange for such currency as reported by the Bank of Canada. The 2016 Debentures, 2017 Debentures, and 2020 Debentures are convertible, from time to time, into common shares of the Company at the option of the debenture holders at any time prior to maturity at a price per common share of US$2.3261, US$2.6919, and $2.3400, respectively (the “Conversion Price”). The 2016 Debentures, 2017 Debentures, and 2020 Debentures are not redeemable by the Company prior to June 10, 2019, July 21, 2020, and May 27, 2023, respectively.

In addition, upon the public announcement of a change of control that is supported by the Board, the Company may require the holders of the Convertible Debentures to convert the Convertible Debentures into common shares at the Conversion Price provided the consideration payable upon the change of control exceeds the Conversion Price and is payable in cash. The 2016 Debentures, 2017 Debentures, and 2020 Debentures mature on July 22, 2022, July 22, 2022 and May 27, 2025, respectively. (d) IsoEnergy Debentures On August 18, 2020, IsoEnergy entered into an agreement with Queen’s Road Capital Investment Ltd. for a US$6 million private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (the “IsoEnergy Debentures”). The IsoEnergy Debentures are convertible at the holder’s option at a conversion price of $0.88 (the “IsoEnergy Conversion Price”) into a maximum of 9,206,311 common shares of IsoEnergy (the “Maximum Conversion Shares”).

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT | 12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business. In the management of capital, the Company considers all components of equity and debt and is dependent on third party financing, whether through debt, equity, or other means. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds to date, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining required financing in the future or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration and development stage. As such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets and convertible debt to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it determines that there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the Convertible Debentures. The fair values of the Company’s cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value, due to their short-term maturities or liquidity. Fair Value Measurement The Company classifies the fair value of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument: • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). • Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The Convertible Debentures are re-measured As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below: (a) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments potentially subject to credit risk are cash and amounts receivable. (b) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital to meet short-term obligations. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2020, NexGen had cash of $74,021,706 to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6,544,448. (c) Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices. (i) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company holds its cash in bank accounts that earn variable interest rates. Due to the short-term short-term (ii) Foreign Currency Risk The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The Company is affected by currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. Consequently, fluctuations of the Canadian dollar in relation to other currencies impact the fair value of financial assets, liabilities and operating results. Financial assets and liabilities subject to currency translation risk primarily includes US dollar denominated cash, US dollar accounts payable, Convertible Debentures and IsoEnergy Debentures. The Company maintains Canadian and US dollar bank accounts in Canada. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its US dollar denominated Convertible Debentures and IsoEnergy Debentures. At maturity the US$141 million principal amount of the Convertible Debentures and IsoEnergy Debentures is due in full, and prior to maturity, at a premium upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company holds sufficient US dollars to make all cash interest payments due under the Convertible Debentures and IsoEnergy Debentures until maturity but not to pay the principal amount. Accordingly, the Company is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the Canadian/US dollar exchange rate that may make the Convertible Debentures more costly to repay. (iii) Price risk The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Accordingly, significant movements in the Company’s share price may affect the valuation of the Convertible Debentures which may adversely impact its earnings. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatility. Future declines in commodity prices may impact the valuation of long-lived assets. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of uranium, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action, if any, to be taken by the Company. Sensitivity Analysis As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s US dollar net financial liabilities were US$163,516,140. Thus a 10% change in the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar exchange rates would give rise to a $20,818,875 change in loss and comprehensive loss. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time. |

Cash | (c) Cash Cash includes deposits held with banks that are available on demand and guaranteed investment certificates with original maturities of three months or less or that are readily convertible into cash. |
Exploration and evaluation assets | (d) Exploration and evaluation assets Once the legal rights to explore a property have been obtained, exploration and evaluation costs are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis pending determination of the technical feasibility and the commercial viability of the project. Capitalized costs include costs directly related to exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest. When a claim is relinquished or a project is abandoned, the related costs are recognized in profit or loss immediately. Proceeds received from the sale of any interest in a property will be credited against the carrying value of the property, with any excess included in operations for the period. If a property is abandoned, the acquisition and deferred exploration costs will be written off to operations. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. A property may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or inadvertent non-compliance Management regularly assesses exploration and evaluation assets for events or circumstances that may indicate possible impairment. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining assets and development assets within property, plant and equipment. |
Equipment | (e) Equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Items of equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a part of an item in the carrying amount of equipment is recognized when that cost is incurred, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. (iii) Depreciation The carrying amounts of equipment (including initial and subsequent capital expenditures) are amortized to their estimated residual value over the estimated useful lives of the specific assets concerned. Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful lives of each significant component as follows: - Computing equipment 55% declining balance basis - Software 55% declining balance basis - Field equipment 20% declining balance basis - Leasehold improvements Lease term - Road 5-year - Lease right-of-use Lease term straight-line basis Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at least annually and adjusted if appropriate. (iv) Disposal Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item of equipment and are recognized in profit or loss. |
Impairment | (g) Impairment An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash generating unit (“CGU”), exceeds its recoverable amount. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the period. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to CGUs and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. |
Decommissioning and Restoration Provisions | (h) Decommissioning and Restoration Provisions Decommissioning and restoration provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation and discount rates. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows discounted at the market discount rate. Over time the carrying value of the liability is increased for the changes in the present value based on the current market discount rates and liability risks. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Changes in reclamation estimates are accounted for prospectively as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost. The Company did not have any decommissioning and restoration provisions for the years presented. |
Share Capital | (i) Share Capital Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their market value at the date the shares are issued. The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in the private placements to be the more easily measurable component and the common shares are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing market price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as reserves. |
Share-based payments | (j) Share-based payments The Company’s stock option plan allows Company employees, directors, officers and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as share-based payments expense with a corresponding increase in equity reserves. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Fair value is measured at grant date, and each tranche is recognized using the graded vesting method over the period during which the options vest. At each financial reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees non-employees |
Flow-through shares | (k) Flow-through shares Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors under Canadian income tax legislation. On issuance, the Company separates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability and ii) share capital. Upon qualifying expenditures being incurred, the Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for the taxable temporary difference that arises from the difference between the carrying amount of eligible expenditures capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets and its tax base and the premium liability is reduced and recognized as a reduction of deferred tax expense. Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares must be expended on Canadian resource property exploration within a period of two years. Failure to expend such funds as required under the Canadian income tax legislation will result in a Part XII.6 tax to the Company on flow-through proceeds renounced under the “Look-back” Rule. When applicable, this tax is classified as a financial expense. |
Loss (profit) per Share | (l) Loss per Share Basic The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and other similar instruments. Under this method, the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the deemed proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the period. |
Income taxes | (m) Income taxes Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognize a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plan for the Company. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. |
Financial Instruments | (n) Financial Instruments (i) Classification The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as at FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument The Company has the following financial instruments, which are classified under IFRS 9 in the table below: Financial assets/liabilities Classification Cash Amortized cost Amounts receivable Amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Convertible debentures FVTPL (ii) Measurement Financial assets at FVTOCI Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. The Company’s Convertible Debentures have been recognized at FVTPL. (iii) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost Under IFRS 9, the Company recognizes a loss allowance using the expected credit loss model on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. (iv) Derecognition Financial assets The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within the accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Financial liabilities The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash |
Leases | (f) Leases The Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”). IFRS 16 specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all major leases. The impact of the transition is shown below. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: • The contract involves the use of an identified asset. This may be specific, explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; • The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and • The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when is has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. The Company recognizes a right-of-use right-of-use The right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use right-of-use The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrow rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use right-of-use The Company has elected to apply the recognition exemption not to recognize right-of-use low-value Impact of transition to IFRS 16 On initial application, the Company has elected to record right-of-use Right-of-use The transition to IFRS 16 from IAS 17 is shown in the reconciliation table below, starting with the lease commitments below as at December 31, 2018 and adjusting for the operating expenses included in the lease commitments and the discounted portion of the lease commitment to equal the Lease liability as at January 1, 2019.
