Fission Uranium Intersects High Grades at Three Zones at PLS

Fission Uranium Corp. (TSX:FCU,OTCQX:FCUUF) announced assay results from nine holes completed at its PLS property in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. Holes were completed at three different zones, and high grades were intersected at all zones.
Highlights include:

R840W zone (not included in Triple R deposit)
PLS15-445 (line 840W) key interval:

• 29.0m @ 1.14% U₃O₈ (189.0m to 218.0m), including:
  • 2.0m @ 11.53% U₃O₈ (211.0m to 213.0m)

R600W Zone (not included in Triple R deposit)
PLS15-449 (line 660W) key interval:

• 37.0m @ 0.72% U₃O₈ (104.0m to 141.0m), including:
  • 4.0m @ 1.67% U₃O₈ (115.5m to 119.5m)

R780W Zone (included in Triple R deposit)
PLS15-455 (line 510E) key interval:

• 44.0m @ 4.08% U₃O₈ (88.0m to 132.0m), including:
  • 4.5m @ 23.03% U₃O₈ (118.5m to 123.0m)
  • 2.0m @ 17.63% U₃O₈ (125.5m to 127.5m)

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

Our first batch of winter assays has confirmed high-grade mineralization at three zones, including the new R840W zone and the R600W zone – both of which are shallow, land-based and because of their early stage drilling, have not been included in the resource estimate of the Triple R deposit. In addition, we are continuing to see growth at the Triple R deposit with shallow, wide, high-grade mineralization. Overall a very strong start to the assays and, as we move forward, the data will be used to help plan the summer exploration and resource growth drill programs at PLS.
