Fission Hits 23.53% U3O8 over 4.0m (line 555E) Six Other High-Grade Assays

14/07/2014 8:00am

Marketwired Canada


FISSION URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) ("Fission"
or "the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from six drill-holes
drilled in the R780E zone and one hole drilled in the R1155E zone at its
Patterson Lake South (PLS) property in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, Canada.
Of particular note is hole PLS14-181 (line 555E) from zone R780E, which returned
a composite assay result including 23.53% U3O8 over 4.0m within a wider interval
of 6.01% U3O8 over 17.5m. All six holes from zone R780E returned substantial
high-grade assays. These results highlight the strength of the central area of
the zone, just as the assays announced in NR July 2nd, 2014 underscore the
strength of the eastern section. 


Stronger Intersection in R1155E zone: Of additional note is hole PLS14-190 (line
1155E) which returned multiple discrete uranium mineralized intervals. The
results include an assay high of 1.28% U3O8 (214.0m - 214.5m) within a composite
grade of 0.20% U3O8 over 8.0m (197.5m to 205.5m). Hole PLS14-190 was drilled
approximately 10m grid south of PLS13-103. These results are the strongest from
the R1155E zone to date. Importantly, this opens up the potential to discover
increased amounts and higher grades of mineralization from this area, including
further to the south and within the 75m gap separating the R780E and R1155E. 


Assay Highlights 

PLS14-181 (Line 555E)



--  17.5m (148.0m to 165.5m) @ 6.01% U3O8, including: 
    --  4.0m (154.0m to 158.0) @ 23.53% U3O8 



PLS14-184 (Line 570E)



--  14.5m (110.5m to 125.0m) @ 2.02% U3O8, including: 
    --  2.0m (123.0m to 125.0m) @ 8.31% U3O8 
--  19.0m (158.5m to 177.5m) @ 1.65% U3O8, including: 
    --  3.5m (174.0m to 177.5m) @ 4.45% U3O8 



PLS14-172 (Line 825E)



--  28.0m (86.0m to 114.0m) @ 2.10% U3O8, including: 
    --  8.5m (95.0m to 103.5m) @ 5.88% U3O8 



More assays pending: To date, assay results from 60 holes of the recent winter
program have now been released; results from 32 holes are pending. 


Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented, 

"Excellent growth from the central part of the expansive high-grade, shallow
depth R780E zone and some very promising assays from hole PLS14-190 from the
R1155E zone which speaks to the strong potential to discover further
mineralization in the 75m gap between the R780E and R1155E zones." 


Composited % U3O8 mineralized intervals are summarized in Tables 1 & 2 below.
Samples from the drill core are split in half sections on site. Where possible,
samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split
sample is 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 remains on site for reference. All
analysis include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry and boron. All
depth measurements reported, including sample and 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. 


Fission has received and released assay results on 60 holes from its winter 2014
drill program at PLS. Updated maps and files can be found on the Company's
website at http://fissionuranium.com/project/pls/.
