Canadian uranium miner NexGen Energy is sharing information and “talking regularly” with mining giant BHP, about its Rook I mining project in Saskatchewan, CEO Leigh Curyer told Reuters when asked about a potential equity stake. NexGen put the first shovel in the ground to kick off construction of what is slated to be one of the world’s largest uranium mines on Thursday and will look to raise $1-billion in capital in the next nine months. The miner is considering financing options of prepayment agreements with utility companies, debt finance and direct equity in the project.
