URANIUM: Patterson Lake South hole “off-the-scale”

SASKATCHEWAN – The 50:50 joint venture Fission Energy Corp. (Kelowna, BC) and Alpha Minerals (Vancouver, BC) at Patterson Lake South in the Athabasca Basin returned a 53.0-metre interval of continuous radioactivity in hole PLS13-051 that included 11.5 metres of continuous off-the-scale (more than 9999 cps) radioactivity.

Fission (the operator) also noted that the sum of discrete off-the-scale radioactivity is 13.89 metres, or 26% of the total interval in hole 051.

Ross McElroy, president, COO, and chief geologist for Fission, commented, "PLS13-051 extends the strike length of R390E's broad zone of mineralization, which includes significant amounts of off-scale radioactivity, initially discovered in PLS13-038 15 metres to the west. We are focusing our efforts to define this area as we target drilling around these holes that have returned such excellent results."

Core drilling continues to further delineate and test targets along the 3.5-km-long outlined in previous programs.
