Fission Hits New High-Grade Holes at R1515W

Fission Uranium Corp.  (TSX:FCU) announced that its first four winter drill holes have hit wide mineralization, with high-grade radioactivity, at the R1515W zone at its PLS property, host to the Triple R deposit, in Canada’sAthabasca Basin region.

Drilling highlights are as follows:

• R1515W zone expanded on line 1530W and 1560W
• Hole PLS18-571 (line 1560W)
  ° 108.0m total composite mineralization over a 160.0m interval (between 110.5m – 270.5m), including
  ° 5.81m of total composite >10,000 cps
• Hole PLS18-572 (line 1530W)
  ° 94.0m total composite mineralization over a 211.5m interval (between 110.5m -322.0m), including
  ° 4.70m of total composite >10,000 cps
• Hole PLS18-569 (line 1530W)
  ° 70.5m total composite mineralization over a 128.0m interval mineralization (between 114.0m – 242.0m), including
  ° 5.12m of total composite >10,000 cps

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

The Winter program is off to an exciting and promising start. Following right after announcing an increase in the Triple R’s inferred category of resource estimate at PLS we have now already grown the deposit’s westernmost zone with four strong, high-grade radioactive holes. This mineralization indicates continued growth.  With it’s similar lithology to the R780E – Triple R’s largest zone – the R1515W zone is an important focus for this program and we are very pleased with our 100% hit rate here.
