Fission Reports Assay Results from PLS Property, Expands R600W Zone

Fission Uranium (TSX:FCU) announced the assay results from 10 angled holes drilled at R600W, R00E and R780E zones at its PLS property in the Athabasca Basin, further expanding the land-based R600W zone.

As quoted in the press release:

Drilled at this zone, hole PLS15-352 (line 615W) returned high-grade, shallow depth mineralization including 28.32 percent U3O8 Over 12.0 meters within a larger interval of 11.09 percent U3O8 over 31.5 meters. With a grade x thickness (GT) value of 349.5, this exceptional intersection places PLS15-352 as one of the top five strongest mineralized holes at PLS and is further validation of the potential and importance of the high-grade discovery of the R600W zone.

Highlights include:

• High-grade, shallow depth growth of R600W zone, 555m west of the Triple R deposit
• PLS15-352 (line 615W) key interval:
• 31.5 (102.5m to 134.0m) @ 11.09% U3O8, including:
• 12.0m (117.0m to 129.0m) @ 28.32% U3O8
• PLS15-351 (line 975E) key intervals
• 10.5m (172.5m to 183.0m) @ 1.11% U3O8, including:
• 2.0m (180.0m to 182.0m) @ 4.47% U3O8

Ross McElroy, president, COO and chief geologist at Fission, commented:

We are continuing to see spectacular high-grade growth at R600W. With high-grade mineralization very near to surface, this land-based zone is located half a kilometer on trend from the Triple R deposit and remains open in all directions. The strength of the assays and robustness and style of the intersection show remarkable similarities to the Triple R deposit and continue to impress us. The addition of the spectacular mineralized intersection in PLS15-352, significantly upgrades the potential of the R600W zone. We are also very pleased to see further R780E zone growth on multiple lines
