Fission Step-out Drill Results Hit High-Grade Mineralization; Expands R600W and R780E Zones

Fission Uranium Corp. (TSX:FCU) announced the results from 10 additional holes of the 20,000 meter 60-hole summer drill program at its PLS property. The results include two holes drilled on the R600W zone, six on the R780E zone and two holes on the R162E.
As quoted in the press release:

All ten holes returned mineralization, with seven holes returning strongly radioactive mineralized intervals measuring >10,000 cps. Of particular note, step out drilling has expanded the high-grade footprint of R600W and R7680E zones.

Drilling highlights:

R600W Zone

• Expanded R600W zone an additional 15m west to line 660W by high-grade hole PLS15-395
• R600W zone now extended to a strike length of 75m

R780E Zone

• Line 1125E – zone expanded a further 10m south (hole PLS15-393)
• Line 540E – PLS15-397 expands high-grade zone 10m down-dip from PLS15-379 and a further 20m north
• Line 555E – PLS15-402 expands high-grade zone 20m up-dip from PLS14-181 and extends mineralization a further 20m north

R1620E Zone

• First high-grade mineralization discovered at R1620E zone on line 1620E (hole PLS15-394)

Intersection Highlights Include:

• Hole PLS15-402 (line 555E) – 102.5m total composite mineralization over a 140.5m section (between 104.5m – 245.0m) including: 5.11m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity
• Hole PLS15-397 (line 540E) – 85.0m total composite mineralization over a 188.5m section (between 86.5m – 275.0m) including: 5.70m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity
• Hole PLS15-395 (line 660W) – 50.0m total composite mineralization over a 60.0m section (between 101.0m – 161.0m) including: 4.18m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity

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

Our zone growth drilling continues to deliver excellent results, expanding the footprints of the shallow, high-grade R600W and R780E zones. We are also very pleased to have encountered the first high-grade mineralization at R1620E zone.
