Fission Widens High-Grade R780E Zone; Hits Eight New Holes With >10,000 cps Radioactivity starting at 60.8m depth

Fission Widens High-Grade R780E Zone; Hits Eight New Holes With >10,000 cps Radioactivity starting at 60.8m depth

 

100% Drill Hit Success Rate Continues at PLS R780E Zone

 

8th September 2014 - FISSION URANIUM CORP. ("Fission" or “the Company") is pleased to announce results from eleven new angled drill holes of the summer drill program at its PLS property in Canada’s Athabasca Basin. Of particular note is PLS14-286 (line 495E), with a total of 97.2m composite mineralization at shallow depth, including 9.31m total composite >10,000 cps radioactivity. All eleven holes returned wide mineralization, with eight returning intervals of >10,000 cps radioactivity. Fission has hit mineralization on every one of the 54 R780E zone summer program holes drilled to date.

 

Zone R780E, which has a strike length of 930m, continues to widen: with the results of PLS14-282, the lateral horizontal width of the R780E mineralized corridor has expanded to greater than 164m on line 885E.  Of additional note, holes PLS14-274 (line 1125E) and PLS14-285 (line 1095E) have further solidified the connection between the recently merged R780E and R1155E zones, with stronger mineralization than previously encountered.

 

Drilling Highlights Include:

 

Hole PLS14-286 (line 495E)

- 97.2m total composite mineralization over a 112.2m section (between 60.8m – 173.0m) including:

  - 9.31m total composite mineralization of (>10,000 cps) radioactivity

 

Hole PLS14-276 (line 570E)

- 75.0m total composite mineralization over a 210.0m section (between 69.5m – 279.5m) including:

  - 5.36m total composite mineralization of (>10,000 cps) radioactivity

 

Hole PLS14-283 (line 840E)

- 82.0m total composite mineralization over a 240.0m section (between 115.0m – 355.0m) including:

  - 2.92m total composite mineralization of (>10,000 cps) radioactivity

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

We are seeing yet more lateral widening on multiple section lines of the high-grade R780E zone with this new round of excellent drill results. We remain impressed by the progress of the summer program which continues to enjoy a 100% mineralization hit rate with holes drilled so far.

As per news release July 28, 2014 Fission has replaced the GR-110 scintillometer, which measured a maximum of 9,999 cps (referred to as off-scale in all previous PLS drill programs) with the RS-121 scintillometer, which measures up to 65,535 cps for higher resolution readings of strongly anomalous radioactivity.

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. 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, core interval measurements and true thickness is 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, uranium by fluorimetry and boron.

 

All depth measurements reported, including radioactivity and mineralization 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 four separate mineralized "zones" from line 615W (PLS13-124) to line 1620E (PLS14-196). From west to east, these zones are; R600W, R00E, R780E and R1620E. The former R390E, R585, R945E and R1155E zones have been merged into the R780E zone by successful 2014 winter and summer drilling. The R780E zone now stands at 930m of continuous strike length within a mineralized lateral corridor up to 150m wide (line 870E). 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.
