FISSION URANIUM CORP.  is pleased to announce that it has filed a technical report on the Triple R Deposit at its PLS project in Canada’s Athabasca Basin, pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”.

• Title: “Technical Report on the Pre-Feasibility Study of the Patterson Lake South Property, Northern Saskatchewan, Canada”

• Effective Date: April 15, 2019

• Authors: Jason J. Cox, P.Eng. of RPA, David M. Robson, P.Eng., M.B.A. of RPA, Mark. B. Mathisen, C.P.G of RPA, Mark Wittrup, P.Eng., P.Geo. of Clifton Associates, Paul O’Hara, P.Eng. of Wood

The Report summarizes the Pre-Feasibility Study, which highlights the robust economics and long-term potential of the Triple R deposit. Mineral Reserves were estimated for the Project, based on a hybrid (underground plus open pit) approach to production at PLS. The Report also recognizes the potential for an underground-only approach, which was completed to PEA level and shows considerable advantages, including lower CAPEX and shorter construction time.  As a result, Fission is advancing this scenario to Prefeasibility Study stage. Following completion of that study, expected in Q3, 2019, the Company will make a decision on which approach to take to the Feasibility Study stage.  

PLS Mineralized Trend & Triple R Deposit Summary

Uranium mineralization of the Triple R deposit at PLS occurs within the Patterson Lake Conductive Corridor and has been traced by core drilling over ~3.18 km of east-west strike length in five separated mineralized “zones” which collectively make up the Triple R deposit. From west to east, these zones are: R1515W, R840W, R00E, R780E and R1620E. Through successful exploration programs completed to date, Triple R has evolved into a large, near surface, basement hosted, structurally controlled high-grade uranium deposit.  The discovery hole was announced on November 05, 2012 with drill hole PLS12-022, from what is now referred to as the R00E zone.

The R1515W, R840W and R00E zones make up the western region of the Triple R deposit and are located on land, where overburden thickness is generally between 55 m to 100 m.  R1515W is the western-most of the zones and is drill defined to ~90 m in strike-length, ~68 m across strike and ~220 m vertical and where mineralization remains open in several directions.  R840W is located ~515 m to the east along strike of R1515W and has a drill defined strike length of ~430 m.  R00E is located ~485 m to the east along strike of R840W and is drill defined to ~115 m in strike length.  The R780E zone and R1620E zones make up the eastern region of the Triple R deposit.  Both zones are located beneath Patterson Lake where water depth is generally less than six metres and overburden thickness is generally about 50 m.  R780E is located ~225 m to the east of R00E and has a drill defined strike length of ~945 m.  R1620E is located ~210 m along strike to the east of R780E, and is drill defined to ~185 m in strike length.

Mineralization along the Patterson Lake Corridor trend remains prospective along strike in both the western and eastern directions. Basement rocks within the mineralized trend are identified primarily as mafic volcanic rocks with varying degrees of alteration.  Mineralization is both located within and associated with mafic volcanic intrusives with varying degrees of silicification, metasomatic mineral assemblages and hydrothermal graphite. The graphitic sequences are associated with the PL-3B basement Electro-Magnetic (EM) conductor.

Patterson Lake South Property

The 31,039 hectare PLS project is 100% owned and operated by Fission Uranium Corp. PLS is accessible by road with primary access from all-weather Highway 955, which runs north to the former Cluff Lake mine and passes through the nearby UEX-Areva Shea Creek discoveries located 50km to the north, currently under active exploration and development.
