Fission Reports More Drill Results from Summer Drill Program at PLS

Fission Uranium (TSX:FCU) announced results from 10 more holes of the 20,000 meter summer drill program at its PLS property in the Athabasca Basin.
As quoted in the press release:

Three holes drilled on the R600W zone, five drilled on the R780E zone and two holes on the R1620E. Importantly, hole PLS15-416, drilled on the eastern edge of the Triple R’s R780E zone (line 1125E), has intersected 3.93m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity – the strongest to date from that area. Of additional importance, step out drilling has expanded the strike length of the high-grade, near-surface R600W zone to a total of 105m. All ten holes returned mineralization, with six holes returning strongly radioactive mineralized intervals measuring >10,000 cps.

Drill highlights:

R600W Zone

• Expanded R600W zone an additional 15m west (to line 675W) by high-grade hole PLS15-408 and a further 15m east (to line 570W) with hole PLS15-404
• R600W zone now extended to a strike length of 105m

R780E Zone

• Considerable high-grade mineralization encountered on line 1125E (hole PLS15-416)

Intersection Highlights Include:

• Hole PLS15-408 (line 675E)
• 27.0m continuous mineralization (between 124.0m – 151.0m) including:
• 5.09m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity
• Hole PLS15-416 (line 1125E)
• 48.0m total composite mineralization over a 170.0m section (between 207.5m – 377.5m) including:
• 3.93m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity

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

We have now intercepted substantial high-grade mineralization on the far eastern side of the R780E zone (line 1125E), with the strongest mineralization to date in that area. In addition, the high-grade, shallow depth R600W zone has now reached 105m in strike length and continues to show a rapid growth rate with a style of mineralization similar to that of the Triple R’s R780E zone, over half a kilometer on-strike to the east.
