Fission: 8 Summer Angled Step-Out Holes Hit Off Scale; Zone R780E Widens

(firmenpresse) - Fission: 8 Summer Angled Step-Out Holes Hit Off Scale; Zone R780E Widens

PLS Discovery Widening both North and South;
Program Expanding by Ten Holes


FISSION URANIUM CORP. ("Fission" or the Company" - http://bit.ly/1fV7Xi8 -) is pleased to announce results from nine new angled drill holes of the summer drill program at its PLS property in Canadas Athabasca Basin. Of particular note is PLS14-259 (line 840E), with a total of 98.5m composite mineralization, including 11.0m total composite off-scale (>10,000 cps) radioactivity. All nine holes returned wide mineralization, with six returning substantial intervals of >10,000 cps radioactivity. Step-out drilling on the R780E zone has now widened to the north and south: PLS14-259 has expanded the high grade area approximately 15m to the south on line 840E and PLS14-256 expanding the high-grade area approximately 30m to the north on line 525E.

Summer Program to Increase by 10 Holes: The success in expanding the R780E zone laterally north and south has justified an increase of 4,700m to 25,000m. This will allow an additional 10 holes to test for further lateral and strike expansion.

Drilling Highlights Include:

Hole PLS14-259 (line 840E)
- 98.5m total composite mineralization over a 154.0m section (between 111.5m - 266.0m) including:

- 11.0m total composite mineralization of (>10,000 cps) radioactivity

Hole PLS14-256 (line 525E)
- 104.5m total composite mineralization over a 160.0m section (between 60.0m - 220.0m) including:

- 8.05m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity

Hole PLS14-247 (line 525E)
- 108.0m total composite mineralization over a 226.0m section (between 62.5m - 288.5m) including:

- 6.62m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity

Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented,
We continue to see remarkable results from PLS, with strongly mineralized angled drill holes widening zone R780E laterally both to the north and south. The program has been so successful that we will be drilling an additional ten holes to test for further north/south widening of the R780E zone. The summer program will therefore include a total of 25,000m in 73 drill holes.

As per news release July 28, 2014 Fission has replaced the GR-110 scintillometer, which measured a maximum of 9,999 cps (referred to as off-scale in all previous PLS drill programs) with the RS-121 scintillometer, which measures up to 65,535 cps for higher resolution readings of strongly anomalous radioactivity.

Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a hand held RS-121 Scintillometer manufactured by Radiation Solutions. 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.

Samples from the drill core will be split in half sections on site. Where possible, samples will be standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample will be sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK for analysis which includes U3O8 (wt %) and fire assay for gold, while the other half will remain on site for reference. Analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry and boron.

All depth measurements reported, including radioactivity and mineralization interval widths are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness are yet to be determined.

PLS Mineralized Trend Summary
Uranium mineralization at PLS has been traced by core drilling over 2.24km of east-west strike length in five separate mineralized zones from line 615W (PLS13-124) to line 1620E (PLS14-196). From west to east, these zones are; R600W, R00E, R780E, R1155E and R1620E. The former R390E, R585 and R945E zones have been merged into the R780E zone by successful winter drilling. Mineralization remains open along strike both to the western and eastern extents. Mineralization is both located within and associated with a metasedimentary lithologic corridor, bounded to the south by the PL-3B basement Electro-Magnetic (EM) Conductor.
