Fission Targets High-Priority Exploration and Zone Growth Areas

Fission Uranium (TSX:FCU) has announced preparations have begun on its winter program at the PLS property in the Athabasca Basin.
As quoted in the press release:

Key Highlights

• 15 holes consisting of both diamond drill core (“DDH”) and Reverse Circulation (“RC”) holes will focus on key regional exploration targets
• 19 DDH holes focused on growing and connecting the new high-grade zones on the 2.63km trend that have the potential to be included in a future Triple R resource estimate update
• 28.5 line-km of ground-based Small Moving Loop Time Domain Electromagnetic (SMLTEM) survey aimed at identifying areas of stronger, wider mineralization

Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented
“This program will follow up on a number of very high-priority regional exploration targets identified during the successful summer program. It will also focus on growing the high-grade, near-surface R800W and R1620E zones at the western and easternmost ends, respectively, of our 2.63km mineralized trend. These zones are presently not included in the Triple R deposit resource estimate.”
Program Details

• Large Regional Focus with fifteen regional exploration holes in 8 core holes and 7 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) holes, will test a series of high-priority exploration targets.
• DDH exploration holes will be targeted as follows:
  • 2 holes testing a new area of interest approximately 600m west of the R840W zone
  • 2 holes on the west end of the Patterson Lake Corridor
  • 3 holes on a parallel EM conductor located approximately 4km to the north of PLG-3B
  • 1 hole on an EM conductor located between Patterson Lake and Forest Lake Corridors.
• RC exploration holes will be targeted as follows:
  • 2 holes at the east end of the Patterson Lake Corridor
  • 3 holes at the western end of the Patterson Lake Corridor
  • 2 holes near the High-Grade uranium boulder field
