Fission Uranium Corp. announced it has completed all drilling required for the Front End Engineering Design at its PLS high-grade uranium project in Saskatchewan, Canada. A total of twelve holes were successfully drilled on time and on budget.

The data will be used for optimizing the design of the underground mine infrastructure and proposed tailings management facility. 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 westernmost 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 the 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 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. 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.
