Press Release: Fission Uranium Corp. –
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jul 29, 2013) - FISSION URANIUM CORP. ("Fission" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) the Operator, and its Joint Venture partner Alpha Minerals Inc. are pleased to announce results for an additional two holes drilled on the R390E Zone. Holes PLS13-073 and PLS13-075 tested the eastern and western extension of zone respectively and both intersected mineralization. With a current strike length of 105m, results of these two holes have expanded the strike length of the R390E Zone by an additional 75% from the winter 2013 program. At 21.65m off-scale (>9999 cps) mineralization,PLS13-075 represents the largest accumulation of discrete off-scale mineralized intervals in any drill hole at PLS to date. Drilling of hole PLS13-075 is still in progress at a depth of 188.0m, and it is expected that the main zone of mineralization has been intersected and reported in this news release.
PLS13-075 Drilling Highlights include:
- Extends strike length of R390E zone to 105m
- 21.65mtotal off-scale radioactivity in several discrete intervals including
- 16.7m of continuous off-scale (>9999 cps) (73.5m - 90.2m)
- 82.0m of variable strength basement mineralization in two zones, separated by only 2.5m of barren rock
- The upper zone (57.5m - 127.5m), which includes the 21.65m of off-scale, reported variable weak to strong radioactivity
- The lower zone (130.0m - 142.0m) reported weak to moderate radioactivity
- Multiple narrow anomalous intervals present from 146.5m to 162.5m
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented, "The strong mineralization encountered in hole 075 is the latest in a series of very robust results at the R390E Zone - first from the winter program and now from the summer. With the strength of mineralization and the degree of off-scale radioactivity - all at shallow depth - we are very pleased at the rate at which this discovery continues to expand in both size and strength."
