Fission 3.0 Corp. (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FISOF) ("Fission 3.0 Corp" or the "Optionor") is pleased to announce that, further to the news release dated November 1, 2021, it has entered into two option agreements with Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) ("Traction") respecting options to acquire up to a 70% interest in two properties located in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin region (the "Properties"): the Hearty Bay Project, comprised of 6 mineral claims covering approximately 10,604 hectares (the "Hearty Bay Project"); and the Lazy Edward Project, comprised of 11 mineral claims covering approximately 1,828 hectares (the "Lazy Edward Project").

The Hearty Bay property surrounds the historic Isle Brochet radioactive boulder trains. Boulder prospecting by Fission 3 on Isle Brochet in 2019 led to the discovery of 45 radioactive boulders with assay values up to 8.23% U₃O₈ with over 24% of them returning assay values of >1% U₃O₈. A marine seismic survey completed in the up-ice direction to the northeast was interpreted to indicate multiple basement structural and lithological features which have defined drill targets. The objective of further exploration on the property is to discover the source of the uraniferous boulder field.

The Lazy Edward Project is located in the south-eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, between the historic Key Lake Mine and Cameco Corporation's Centennial deposit. The Lazy Edward Project has been identified to have potential for unconformity-type, high-grade uranium deposits typical of the Athabasca Basin. Further, as the Lazy Edward Project is near the edge of the basin, the depth of the drill targets at Lazy Edward Bay are shallow, giving the advantage of relatively inexpensive exploration. Historic drilling in the late 1980's identified very prospective geology with intersections of strong bleaching, limonitization and strong fracturing in the lower sandstone above strongly altered, brecciated and sheared graphitic basement rocks with up to 170ppm uranium. These are a number of the attributes required to host high-grade uranium deposits, and Fission 3.0 Corp has concluded that follow up drilling is highly warranted.

Terms of the Option Agreements

Pursuant to the Option Agreement in respect of the Hearty Bay Project (the "Hearty Bay Agreement"), the Optionor has granted an option to Traction to acquire a 50% interest in the Hearty Bay Project through (i) cash payments to the Optionor of an aggregate of C$650,000 (C$100,000 of which has been paid by Traction in connection with the execution of the Hearty Bay letter of intent, dated October 30, 2021), (ii) the issuance to the Optionor of such number of common shares of Traction as is equal to 7.5% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares of Traction that are outstanding as of such date, provided Traction has completed one or more equity financings for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 by such date, and (iii) the completion of $3,000,000 in exploration work on the Hearty Bay Property, all spread out over two years (the "Hearty Bay Commitments").
