Fission’s First Summer Holes Hit High-Grades at R600W and R780E

R600W Zone

• Hole PLS15-389 (line 600W)
  • First high-grade hole on line 600W
  • Multiple mineralized intervals ranging in width from 0.5m to 34.0m. This style of mineralization shows further similarities between the R600W zone and the major, high-grade R780E zone
  • 76.0m total composite mineralization over a 249.0m section (between 99.0m – 348.0m) including:
    • 8.21m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity

R780E Zone

• Substantial high-grade intercepts in two new holes
• Hole PLS15-388 (line 1050E)
  • 56.5m total composite mineralization over a 110.5m section (between 251.0m – 361.5m) including:
    • 2.33m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity
• Hole PLS15-387 (line 435E)
  • 27.0m total composite mineralization over a 29.5m section (between 107.5m – 137.0m) including:
    • 2.50m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity

Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented,

“With a strong and shallow new high-grade hole at R600W and more high-grade results at R780E zone, the summer program is off to a great start. What has the team particularly excited is not only the discovery of new high-grade mineralization on line R600W but also the increasing geological similarities between the R600W and R780E zones. This matters because, while R600W is still at a relatively early stage, R780E has turned out to be a huge, high-grade and shallow zone that contains 96% of the uranium resource at the Triple R deposit.”

PLS Mineralized Trend & Triple R Deposit Summary

Uranium mineralization at PLS has been traced by core drilling over 2.27km of east-west strike length in four separate mineralized “zones”. From west to east, these zones are; R600W, R00E, R780E and R1620E.

The discovery hole of what is now referred to as the Triple R uranium deposit was announced on November 05, 2012 with drill hole PLS12-022, from what is considered part of the R00E zone. Through successful exploration programs completed to date, it has evolved into a large, near surface, basement hosted, structurally controlled high-grade uranium deposit.

The Triple R deposit consists of the R00E zone on the western side and the much larger R780E zone further on strike to the east. Within the deposit, the R00E and R780E zones have an overall strike length of approximately 1.2km with the R00E measuring approximately 125m in strike length and the R780E zones measuring approximately 900m in strike length. A 225m gap separates the R00E zone to the west and the R780E zones to the east, though sporadic narrow, weakly mineralized intervals from drill holes within this gap suggest the potential for further significant mineralization in this area. The R780E zones are located beneath Patterson Lake which is approximately six metres deep in the area of the deposit. The entire Triple R deposit is covered by approximately 50 m of overburden.

Mineralization remains open along strike both to the western and eastern extents. Mineralization is both located within and associated with a metasedimentary lithologic corridor, associated with the PL-3B basement Electro-Magnetic (EM) Conductor. Recent very positive drill results returning wide and strongly mineralized intersections approximately 555m west of the Triple R deposit, have significantly upgraded the R600W zone to a very prospective area for further growth of the PLS resource.

Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a hand held RS-121 Scintillometer manufactured by Radiation Solutions, which is capable of discriminating readings to 65,535 cps. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured, and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. The degree of radioactivity within the mineralized intervals is highly variable and associated with visible pitchblende mineralization. All intersections are down-hole. Individual zone wireframe models constructed from assay data indicate that both the R780E and R00E zones have a complex geometry controlled by and parallel to steeply south-dipping lithological boundaries as well as a preferential sub-horizontal orientation. All depths reported of core interval measurements including radioactivity and mineralization intervals widths are not always representative of true thickness and thus true thicknesses are yet to be determined.

Samples from the drill core will be split in half sections on site. Where possible, samples will be standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample will be sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK for analysis which includes U3O8 (wt %) and fire assay for gold, while the other half will remain on site for reference. Analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, and boron.

Patterson Lake South Property

The 31,039 hectare PLS project is 100% owned and operated by Fission Uranium Corp. PLS is accessible by road with primary access from all-weather Highway 955, which runs north to the former Cluff Lake mine and passes through the nearby UEX-Areva Shea Creek discoveries located 50km to the north, currently under active exploration and development.
