Fission Hits 15.25m Total Composite "Off-Scale" (Line 690E); two
More Zones Connect
R390E and R585E now one zone
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 17, 2014) -
FISSION URANIUM CORP. ("Fission" or "the Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) is pleased to
announce results from eight new holes at its PLS property in
Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. Of key importance is the
intersection of mineralization in hole PLS14-177 on line 525E. This
has closed the gap between the R390E and R585E high-grade zones to
create one much larger zone, now referred to as the R390E zone.
This success is an important milestone towards meeting a key
objective of the Winter 2014 program: to prove, through drilling,
that the zones identified along the 1.78km strike length are
connected. It follows the merging of zones R780E and R945E earlier
this month (see NR dated March 5, 2014).
Five of the holes returned considerable off-scale (>9999 cps)
mineralization. Of particular note is hole PLS14-171 (line 690),
which intersected 15.25m of total composite off-scale (>9999
cps) mineralization in 97.5m total composite mineralization at
shallow depth.
Drilling Highlights include:
Hole PLS14-171 (line 690E)
- 97.5m total composite mineralization (between 60.0m - 226.0m)
including:
- 15.25m total composite off-scale (>9999 cps)
radioactivity
Hole PLS14-172 (line 825E)
- 106.0m total composite mineralization (between 82.5m - 324.5m)
including:
- 7.14m total composite off-scale (>9999 cps)
radioactivity
Hole PLS14-170 (line 915E)
- 131.5m total composite mineralization (between 82.5m - 304.0m)
including:
- 5.85m total composite off-scale (>9999 cps)
radioactivity
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission,
commented,
"Fission has now turned five shallow depth, high-grade zones
into three much larger zones. This represents tremendous
progression towards our goal of proving the discovery is actually a
large connected zone of mineralization."

R390E Zone (line 225E -
line 615E):
The R390E zone is located approximately 135m grid east of the
easternmost defined edge of the R00E zone. Presently defined by 52
holes, the R390E Zone has a strike length (grid east-west) of
approximately 390m and a lateral width (grid north-south) of up to
approximately 50m (line 390E).
R780E Zone (line 690E -
line 990E):
The R780E zone is located approximately 75m grid east of the
easternmost defined edge of the R390E zone. Presently defined by 41
holes, the R780E Zone has a strike length (grid east-west) of
approximately 300m and a lateral width (grid north-south) of up to
approximately 95m (line 780E).
Fission has completed 48 holes of the planned Winter 2014
delineation drill hole program. Approximately 85% of the holes are
designed to assist in delineation of the main mineralized trend
between lines 015E and 1080E utilizing 4 diamond drill rigs. A 5th
diamond drill rig is being utilized to drill exploration holes
outside of the main mineralized trend.
A $12M, 100 hole, 30,000m drill program and ground geophysics
surveys continues at PLS. Updated maps and files can be found on
the Company's website at
http://fissionuranium.com/project/pls/overview/news/.
Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this
news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a hand
held Exploranium GR-110G total count gamma-ray scintillometer. The
reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly
or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured,
and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence
of radioactive materials. The degree of radioactivity within the
mineralized intervals is highly variable and associated with
visible pitchblende mineralization. All intersections are
down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness is yet to
be determined.
All holes are planned to be radiometrically surveyed using a
Mount Sopris 2GHF-1000 Triple Gamma probe, which allows for more
accurate measurements in high grade mineralized zones. The Triple
Gamma probe is preferred in zones of high grade mineralization.
Split core samples from the mineralized section of core will be
taken continuously through the mineralized intervals and submitted
to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005
Accredited Facility) of Saskatoon for analysis, which includes U3O8
(wt %) and fire assay for gold. All samples sent for analysis will
include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry and boron.
Assay results will be released when received.
