Fission 3.0: Assays Confirm Mineralization (Hole PLN14-019)

KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 3, 2014) - FISSION 3.0 CORP. ("Fission 3" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:FUU) and its Joint Venture (JV) partner, Azincourt Uranium Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AAZ), are pleased to announce the completion of the summer exploration program at their PLN project in Canada's Athabasca Basin. Of particular note, assays confirm mineralization in hole PLN14-019 (397 ppm Uranium over 0.5m within a broader 6.0m interval). Of additional note, holes PLN14-020 and PLN14-021 have returned highly prospective results that warrant aggressive follow up.

Ross McElroy, Chief Geologist for Fission 3.0, commented,

"The summer program has been a very successful follow up to the winter program and puts us in a position to implement a strong winter drill program. With hole PLN14-019 we have confirmed uranium mineralization in basement rocks at shallow depth and we have encountered some exciting, highly prospective geology and geochemistry in two additional holes that will be top priority areas for follow up."

Key Program Details

  • Results are suggestive of a uranium mineralized system at PLN. The strongly anomalous uranium values and associated, higher-than-normal, values of key pathfinder elements (boron, zinc, copper), within structurally complex and hydrothermally altered basement and sandstone lithologies, are common characteristics in association with high grade uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin district.

  • Approximately 2130.2m of diamond drilling was completed in six holes testing two separate basement electromagnetic (EM) conductors (A1 and A4-1 Conductors) located in the South West area of the property.

  • All drill holes were successfully completed to target depth.

  • Drill hole PLN14-019 intercepted significant radioactivity on the A1 conductor (see news release July 07/14) and geochemical analysis confirmed 397 ppm Uranium (0.047% U3O8) over 0.5m within a broader 6.0m interval from 193.0m to 199.0m averaging 105 ppm Uranium (or 0.012% U3O8).

  • Highly prospective geochemistry analysis from holes PLN14-019, PLN14-020 and PLN14-021 with respect to uranium mineralization.

Highly Prospective Regional Focus: The A1 and A4-1 conductors on the PLN property are discrete southwest-northeast trending parallel EM conductors. These form part of a larger arcuate approximately north-south trending conductive corridor which can be traced northward to the Areva - UEX Shea Creek property approximately 30km to the north, where a series of high grade mineralized uranium deposits are associated with the Saskatoon EM conductor system.
