Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 21, 2022) - FISSION 3.0 CORP (TSXV: FUU) ("Fission 3" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has intersected extremely radioactive and off-scale (>65,000 cps) mineralization in a new uranium discovery occurring as massive pitchblende, pitchblende buttons and veins at the start of its fall drill program on its 100% owned Patterson Lake North "PLN" project in the southwest Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada.
Two diamond drills commenced on the previously undrilled 800 m northwest strike extension of the ~3 km long A1 conductor. A new uranium discovery has been made in the second drill hole of the fall program. PLN22-035 is a 730 m step-out from a weakly mineralized drillhole, PLN14-019, drilled in 2014. PLN22-035 targeted the ground Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) A1 conductor. Drill hole PLN22-034, the first hole of the fall drill program, intersected the A1 structure but no mineralization (>300cps) was noted.
Drilling Highlights:
PLN22-035 (line 00N)
- 15.0 m total composite mineralization >300 cps over a 15.5 m interval (between 257.0 m to 272.5 m), including
- 5.62 m of total composite mineralization >10,000 cps over a 6.3 m interval (between 259.0 m and 265.3 m including
- 1.5 m of total off scale radioactivity (>65,000 cps) over a 2.0 m interval (between 262.0 m and 264.0 m)
- the hole is still in progress
Raymond Ashley, Vice President Exploration, commented
"We are very excited about this new high-grade uranium discovery at the start of our fall drilling program on the A1 conductor. The drilling program is being immediately amended to further delineate this new off-scale uranium mineralization within a significant 15.0 m wide mineralized altered structural damage zone. I am very grateful to work with this dedicated and extremely capable exploration team, and very proud of this new discovery that we have all made."
