Fission Hits 23.41% U3O8 over 7.0m (line 765E); Another Six
High-Grade Holes at PLS
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jul 2, 2014) - FISSION
URANIUM CORP. (TSX-VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU)
("Fission" or "the Company") is pleased to announce assay results
from nine holes drilled in the R780E zone at its Patterson Lake
South (PLS) property in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, Canada. Of
particular note is hole PLS14-186 (line 765E), which returned
high-grade uranium mineralization such as 23.41% U3O8 over 7.0m in
an interval of 12.35% U3O8 over 13.5m.
Six holes returned substantial high-grade assays. All nine holes
returned wide intervals of mineralization. The impressive assay
results from this batch of holes shows the continued strong nature
of uranium mineralization as the R780E zone moves eastwards.
Assay Highlights
PLS14-186 (Line 765E)
- 13.5m (157.0 to 170.5m) @ 12.35% U3O8, including:
- 7.0m (157.0m to 164.0m) @ 23.41% U3O8
- 7.0m (188.0m to 195.0m) @ 0.90% U3O8, including:
- 1.50m (188.0m to 189.5m) @ 3.61% U3O8
PLS14-180 (Line 990E)
- 21.0m (136.5m to 157.5m) @ 0.44% U3O8, including:
- 2.0m (155.0m to 157.0m) @ 3.45% U3O8
- 25.0m (165.0m to 190.0m) @ 4.68% U3O8, including:
- 5.50m (169.0m to 174.5m) @ 18.56% U3O8
PLS14-170 (Line 915E)
- 58.0m (135.5m to 193.5m) @ 0.35% U3O8, including:
- 5.5m (169.0m to 174.5m) @ 1.20% U3O8
- 20.0m (217.5m to 237.5m) @ 2.90% U3O8, including:
- 4.0m (221.5m to 225.5m) @ 8.35% U3O8
More assays pending: To date, assay results from 53 holes of the
recent winter program have now been released; results from 39 holes
are pending.
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission,
commented,
|
|
|
"We continue to see the hallmarks of
both width and strength at shallow depth from this well-mineralized
region of the eastern side of the R780E. All in all, we are
extremely pleased with assay results to date." |
Composited % U3O8 mineralized intervals are summarized in Table
1 below. Samples from the drill core are split in half sections on
site. Where possible, samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole
intervals. One-half of the split sample is 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 remains on site for
reference. All analysis include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by
fluorimetry and boron. All depth measurements reported, including
sample and interval widths are down-hole, core interval
measurements and true thickness are yet to be determined.

PLS Mineralized Trend
Summary
Uranium mineralization at PLS has been traced by core drilling
over 2.24km of east-west strike length in five separate mineralized
"zones" from line 615W (PLS13-124) to line 1620E (PLS14-196). From
west to east, these zones are; R600W, R00E, R780E, R1155E and
R1620E. The former R390E, R585 and R945E zones have been merged
into the R780E zone by successful winter drilling. Mineralization
remains open along strike both to the western and eastern extents.
Mineralization is both located within and associated with a
metasedimentary lithologic corridor, bounded to the south by the
PL-3B basement Electro-Magnetic (EM) Conductor.
Fission has received and released assay results on 53 holes from
its winter 2014 drill program at PLS. Updated maps and files can be
found on the Company's website at
http://fissionuranium.com/project/pls/.
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.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared
in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in
National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed on behalf of the company by
