Fission Hits Composite GT of 992.8; 100m Composite Mineralization
Includes 38.49% U3O8 Over 10.5m
Best hole to date at Patterson Lake South (PLS)
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 19, 2014) -
FISSION URANIUM CORP. ("Fission" or "the Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) is pleased to
announce assay results from hole PLS14-129 at its Patterson Lake
South (PLS) property in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, Canada. The
hole returned a number of wide and particularly high-grade
intervals in 100.0m of total composite mineralization. These
include: 38.49% U3O8 over 10.5m in 13.66% U308 over 38.0m and
27.57% U3O8 over 12.0m in 11.19% U3O8 over 31.5m. With a composite
Grade %U3O8 x Thickness in meters (GT) value of 992.8 for this
drill hole, this is now the strongest mineralized hole to date at
PLS.
The GT value of hole PLS14-129 is almost double that of the
previous lead hole at PLS, PLS13-075 (Composite GT value of 501.4)
- see NR Sept. 4, 2013) which included assay highlights such as
21.76% U3O8 over 21.5m in 9.08% U3O8 over 54.5m.
Assay Highlights
- 38.0m (56.0m to 94.0m) @ 13.66% U3O8, including: 10.5m (63.0m
to 73.5m) @ 38.49% U3O8
- 31.5m (108.5m to 140.0m) @ 11.19% U3O8, including: 12.0m
(123.5m to 135.5m) @ 27.57% U3O8
- 11.5m (145.5m to 157.0m) @ 6.82% U3O8, including: 2.5m (146.0m
to 148.5m) @ 20.28% U3O8
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission,
commented,

"With a GT (grade% U3O8 x thickness in
meters) value that is nothing less than phenomenal, these results
far surpass our previous top holes. PLS has already grabbed world
attention with the quality and quantity of its high-grades and hole
PLS14-129 is another big step forward." |
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.
R585E Zone:
The R585E zone is located approximately 90m grid east of the
easternmost defined edge of the R390E zone (defined by PLS13-088 on
line 480E) and presently has a defined strike length of 30m (line
570E to line 600E) and a lateral grid north-south width of up to
approximately 10m, as defined by 5 holes. The R585E discovery hole
(PLS13-098) was targeted along the northern edge of the low
resistivity feature, which is associated with the mineralized
east-northeast trending pelitic corridor and a coincident radon in
water anomaly. The geologic setting of the R585E zone is similar to
other zones, consisting of mineralization primarily associated with
sequences of steeply south dipping pelitic lithology with localized
mylonites and cataclasites.

Line 600E:
- Drillhole PLS14-129 was collared as a vertical hole and was
completed at a depth of 344.0m. The collar is located approximately
15m grid east of PLS13-106. A total composite sum of 100.0m of
mineralization as defined by 8 discrete mineralized intervals
grading greater than 0.05% U3O8 and ranging in width from 0.5m to
38.0m and separated by unmineralized sections ranging from 3.0m -
20.5m wide, were intersected over a 165.5m section (56.0m - 221.5m)
(see Table 1).
A $12M, 90 hole, 30,000m drill program and ground geophysics
surveys continues at PLS. Updated maps and files can be found on
