Fission Uranium Corp (TSX:FCU, OTCQX:FCUUF, FRANKFURT:2FU) announced results from four holes at its PLS property, host to the Triple R deposit, in Canada’s Athabasca Basin region: two holes drilled on the R840W zone, one drilled on the R780E zone and one on the R1620E zone. Of key importance, hole PLS16-479 (line 960W), a 45m step out to the west of the fast-growing, shallow and high-grade R840W zone, has hit 41.0m total composite mineralization, including 4.79m of total composite >10,000 cps. All four holes were mineralized.
Drilling Highlights Include:

• PLS16-479 (line 960W)
  • 41.0m total composite mineralization over a 168.0m section (between 113.5m – 281.5m), including
  • 4.79 of total composite >10,000 cps
  • PLS mineralized trend extended to the west for a total strike length of approximately 2.58 km

R1620E Zone

• PLS16-481 (line 1515E)
  • 35.5m total composite mineralization over a 61.5m section (between 82.0m – 143.5m), including
  • 0.17m of total composite >10,000 cps

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

With yet another successful 45m step-out, the R840W zone is growing rapidly to the west. This bodes well for the eventual size of this high-grade, near-surface zone as well as for the continued blue sky exploration potential of PLS and speaks volumes for the skill of our technical team.
