Fission Uranium (FCU-V) Sept 29, '14 is pleased to announce results from the final seven angled drill holes of the summer drill program, which have widened and strengthened zone R780E at its PLS property in Canada's Athabasca Basin. All seven holes returned wide mineralization, with six returning intervals of >10,000 cps radioactivity. Of particular note is PLS14-290 (line 735E), with a total of 97.5m composite mineralization at shallow depth, including 7.44m total composite >10,000 cps radioactivity with peaks up to 61,800 cps. Fission has hit mineralization on every one of the 61 "R780E zone" summer program holes drilled to date.Zone R780E, which has a continuous strike length of 930m (measured from lines 225E to 1155E), continues to strengthen in the eastern region of the R780E zone. Angle drilling from the 2014 program has traced a mineralized lateral corridor with a horizontal width of up to approximately 164m (line 885E), and remains open along strike and laterally.
Drilling Highlights Include:
Hole PLS14-290 (line 735E)
97.5m total composite mineralization over a 173.0m section (between 113.5m - 286.5m) including: 7.44m total composite mineralization of (>10,000 cps) radioactivity Designed as a scissor hole on line 735E (see note on Scissor Holes) Hole PLS14-298 (line 840E)
84.0m total composite mineralization over a 240.5m section (between 146.5m - 387.0m) including: 2.24m total composite mineralization of (>10,000 cps) radioactivity Hole PLS14-296 (line 915E)
94.5m total composite mineralization over a 367.0m section (between 96.0m - 463.0m) including: 2.08m total composite mineralization of (>10,000 cps) radioactivity Scissor hole drilling leads to vastly improved strength of mineralization on section 735E: Holes PLS14-290, 296 and 297 were designed as scissor holes drilling grid north to south on lines 735E, 915E and 945E respectively. Scissor holes are oriented opposite azimuth to the standard south to north angled hole and are designed to provide geometry control and confirmation on the mineralization. Of particular note, PLS14-290 intersected well developed mineralization over a 65.5m (133.0m to 198.5m), including 7.9m of very strong mineralization (7.44m of >10,000 cps), in an area that had previously only seen moderate results with hole PLS14-193, 253 and 221, thus vastly improving the strength of mineralization on section 735E.
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented,
"These results represent the final summer program holes which have been nothing less than spectacular. Zone drilling has hit with every single hole without fail, connected two zones and widened the high-grade R780E zone on multiple lines. R780E, which now has a strike length of 930m, is still open in every direction. At the same time, as per news release September 25, the exploration drilling intercepted anomalous radioactivity on three conductors elsewhere on the property."
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 four separate mineralized "zones" from line 615W (PLS13-124) to line 1620E (PLS14-196). From west to east, these zones are; R600W, R00E, R780E and R1620E. The former R390E, R585, R945E and R1155E zones have been merged into the R780E zone by successful 2014 winter and summer drilling. The R780E zone now stands at 930m of continuous strike length within a mineralized lateral corridor up to 150m wide (line 870E). 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.
