Aug 5, 2014
Fission Uranium (TSX-V: FCU):
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 5, 2014) - FISSION URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) ("Fission" or "the Company") is pleased to announce results from twelve new angled drill holes of the summer drill program at its PLS property in Canada's Athabasca Basin. Of particular note, the drill hole results show further widening of the main PLS discovery to the north and south, east of line 780E. With PLS14-248 (line 825E) significantly expanding the high grade area approximately 40m to the south and PLS14-237 (line 870E) and PLS14-236 (line 960E) expanding the mineralized corridor approximately 50m the north, the potential of growth at PLS is highly prospective.
All twelve holes returned wide mineralization, with seven holes returning substantial intervals of >10,000 cps radioactivity.
Of additional note is PLS14-248 (line 825E), an angled hole with a total of 106.2m composite mineralization, including 18.2m total composite "off-scale" (>10,000 cps) radioactivity within a 21.5m interval (146.5m - 168.0m). The hole has a total composite "off-scale" (>10,000 cps) of 21.1m.
