The Agreement will strengthen the already positive working relationship between Fission and CRDN and provide a process for Fission and CRDN to meaningfully engage in respect of the PLS Project. Fission and CRDN will identify potential impacts to Indigenous rights, culture, traditional and land resource use, and community interests and explore options to address those impacts. The Agreement will facilitate the sharing of information between Fission and CRDN, and provides CRDN an opportunity to review and provide advanced feedback on regulatory submissions in respect of the PLS Project.

 

Fission will provide funding for all of these processes, including studies addressing the potential interactions between the PLS Project and CRDN Indigenous rights, knowledge, culture, and traditional land use. Together, these processes will establish a foundation for Fission and CRDN to negotiate a long term impact benefit agreement if the PLS Project is approved.

 

Chief Teddy Clark of CRDN stated, " CRDN is pleased to announce the signing of this agreement with Fission for the PLS Project. The agreement affirms the importance of respecting, understanding, and considering CRDN's rights, culture, and traditional land and resource uses when projects are proposed in CRDN's traditional territory. The agreement will provide benefits for the CRDN community by building capacity and supporting skills development, providing employment and contracting opportunities, and facilitating the CRDN community's engagement in the PLS Project review and assessment. CRDN thanks Fission for its commitment to building on our relationship and CRDN looks forward to working with Fission to give life to the purposes of the agreement."  

 

  Ross McElroy , President and CEO for Fission, commented, " This agreement represents the mutual respect and trust that Fission and the CRDN have developed since work first began at PLS in 2008. Importantly, it formalizes our relationship moving forward, ensuring that the project advances through collaborative efforts and with mutually beneficial goals. I would like to personally thank the CRDN and its leaders for their dedication to achieving this milestone and for their trust in Fission's team and vision."  

 

  Fission's Commitment to Engagement with Rights-holders  

 

This Agreement reflects Fission's commitment to building strong relationships with rights-holders, including First Nations and Métis communities, throughout the life of Fission's PLS Project. The Company has met with and continues to consult with top level representatives of rights-holders. The goal is to ensure that all rights-holders remain up to date regarding the PLS Project's current status and future plans.

Terra Clean Energy Ramps Up Summer Drilling Plans, Eyes Resource Update

Terra Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC,OTCQB:TCEFF,FWB:C9O0) President and CEO Greg Cameron outlines the company's upcoming summer drill program at the South Falcon East uranium project, building on strong results from a winter campaign at the Fraser Lakes B deposit.

“The plan is to get up to 2,500 meters back into this new area of interest. Hopefully drill into what we're defining as an unconformity basement-hosted uranium deposit with significantly higher grade than we currently have,” he said.

“We would have the ability to update that resource report in some fashion, maybe early 2026 or mid-2026, so those are the two key catalysts. But it's all about drilling and adding pounds to the current resource and, more importantly, significantly enhancing that grade which we think we have," Cameron added.
