Fission Drills Anomalous Radioactivity with Four Holes on Three New Conductors

Regional Exploration Holes Intersect Anomalous Radioactivity in New Areas of PLS Property

KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 25, 2014) - FISSION URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) ("Fission" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results of 21 of its 22 regional drill hole program at its PLS property in Canada's Athabasca Basin. Four new holes have discovered anomalous radioactivity on three new conductors in the PL Corridor and Far East target areas of PLS. This follows exploration hole, PLS14-255 (see NR August 11, 2014), also drilled on the Far East target area, which hit radioactivity 17km from the main PLS discovery where high-grade mineralization has been outlined along a 2.24km strike length. The remaining 17 regional holes encountered encouraging geological features but did not intersect significant radioactivity.

Another Three Holes Encounter Anomalous Results on Far East of PLS Property

• Significant anomalous radioactivity intersected by:
  • Hole PLS14-260 (104A EM conductor)
  • Holes PLS14-262 and PLS14-284 (105A EM conductor)
• PLS14-262 and PLS14-284 are approximately 14m and 25m respectively from hole PLS14-255 (105A EM Conductor), which recently intersected anomalous radioactivity of up to 2532 cps.
• Holes are located near the Fission 3.0/Brades Clearwater West project, approximately 17km south east of the main PLS discovery

One Exploration Hole Hits on PL Corridor of PLS Property

• Anomalous radioactivity intersected by:
  • Hole PLS14-252 (1B EM Conductor) has intersected anomalous radioactivity on the PL Corridor,
• Hole is located approximately 750m east from the main discovery

Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented,

"The regional exploration program has been a great success and we have three very clear target areas prioritized for aggressive follow up: The PL Corridor, the Far East where we recently hit anomalous radioactivity in hole PLS14-255 and the Forrest Lake Areas. With over 105 separate conductors, we have felt for some time that the prospectively of PLS goes beyond the incredible discovery we have already made. These regional drill results confirm that belief."

Regional Exploration Drill Program Summary

A first pass wide-scale regional exploration drill program has been completed over five high priority target areas at PLS. A total of 5,895.6m in 22 drill holes tested five high priority target areas. A total of eleven discrete ground defined electromagnetic (EM) geophysics targets were tested within the five areas. The most encouraging results were returned from the Far East target area, where a total of seven holes were drilled on three separate conductors. Four of the seven holes returned anomalous radioactivity, including hole PLS14-255, which was reported on August 11, 2014.

A summary of the results of the five target areas are presented below:

Far East

A total of seven holes tested three EM conductors on the Far East area, located in the south-east region of the property, approximately 17 km SE of the main PLS mineralized area. Two of the three EM conductors had drill holes with anomalous radioactivity, with peaks up to 450 cps measured by hand scintillometer. This includes hole PLS14-255, previously reported on August 11, 2014. First pass drill results of the Far East area are very encouraging and require follow-up drilling to further evaluate its potential.

Drilling along the PLG-105A EM conductor south east of Forrest Lake identified a steeply west dipping intercalated corridor of graphitic pelitic gneiss, garnetiferous pelitic gneiss and felsic orthogneiss beginning at approximately 10m depth. Weak to moderate chlorite alteration is pervasive within all rock types directly below the top of bedrock but was found to quickly grade into relatively fresh basement rock. The pelitic units are bounded to the east and west by apparently thick domes of quartzo-feldspathic orthogneiss.

Basement lithologies drilled on the PLG-103A and 104A conductors were dominated by weakly altered felsic to mafic orthogneisses with thin lenses of pyrite-graphite rich pelite occurring throughout. Chlorite and clay alteration was most intense within the pelitic rocks at the top of the PLG-103A conductor. No significant alteration was noted in the single drill hole along the PLG-104A conductor.

PL Corridor

The PL Corridor includes the PL-3B EM conductor, which is associated with the main PLS mineralized system. A total of nine exploration holes testing three EM conductors were completed. Four holes were drilled along the PLG-1B EM conductor testing a significant fault zone with coincident resistivity and/ or radon anomalies hosted within graphitic pelitic gneisses identified during the Winter 2014 drill program at PLS. All summer drill holes along the PLG-1B conductor intersected subvertically dipping, weak to moderately chlorite, clay and hematite altered pelitic gneisses near the top of bedrock. The pelitic gneisses were underlain by variably graphitic semi-pelite, graphitic mylonite and quartz-feldspar gneiss.

Three holes were drilled along the PLG-2C EM conductor. All holes intersected a thick alternating sequence of sub vertical variably graphitic pelite and semi-pelitic gneisses with weak chlorite alteration occurring throughout.

Two holes were drilled as a scissor along the PLG-3C conductor approximately 200 m east of the R1620E mineralized zone. Both holes intersected the same sequence of steeply south dipping semi-pelitic gneiss, variably graphitic pelite, silicified semi-pelite and mafic gneiss seen in the main PLS mineralized trend. Weak to moderate chlorite, clay and hematite alteration occurred throughout both drill holes.

PL West (Boulder field)

One hole was drilled in the PL West area, near the high-grade boulder field, located approximately 2.5km to the west of the main mineralization of the R00E zone.

Drilling along the PLG-3A conductor intersected a shallowly north dipping, moderate to strongly chlorite and hematite altered pelitic gneiss. The altered pelitic gneiss was underlain by an intercalated sequence of fresh semi-pelitic, mafic and minor pelitic gneisses. Alteration was generally weak throughout the drill hole and no significant structures were noted.

Forrest Lake East

A total of three holes testing three EM conductors were drilled at Forrest Lake East. Drilling of three separate ground EM conductors directly east of Forrest Lake all identified steeply dipping, variably graphitic to garnetiferous pelitic gneisses bounded by felsic to mafic orthogneisses. Alteration on the PLG-63C EM conductor was weak to absent overall, however, strong clay and chlorite alteration was noted in the pelitic gneisses near the top of bedrock on both the PLG-64A and 91A conductors. The strong alteration found on the PLG-64A and 91A conductors is interpreted to reflect a hydrothermal process and graphitic sections within the altered pelites also show signs of structural disruption (e.g. cataclasite, mylonite).

Forrest Lake is expected to be a major focus of exploration drilling in subsequent programs, with particular interest in the high-priority conductive features located below Forrest Lake, immediately west of the Forrest Lake East target area.

Verm

Two holes were drilled on one EM conductor on the Verm target area, located in the west central area of the property.

Drilling on the PLG-10B EM conductor identified a thin veneer of lodgement till and Cretaceous mudstone beginning at approximately 107.0 m down hole. The Cretaceous mudstone was underlain by a thick sequence of shallowly south dipping, weakly chlorite altered graphitic pelitic to semi-pelitic gneiss. Throughout the graphitic pelitic units thin intervals of cataclasite to mylonite were intersected. Bounding the pelitic units to the north and south are apparently thick domes of relatively fresh orthogneiss.

Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a hand held RS-121 Scintillometer manufactured by Radiation Solutions. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured, and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. The degree of radioactivity within the mineralized intervals is highly variable and associated with visible pitchblende mineralization. All intersections are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness is yet to be determined.

Samples from the drill core will be split in half sections on site. Where possible, samples will be standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample will be sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK for analysis which includes U3O8 (wt %) and fire assay for gold, while the other half will remain on site for reference. Analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry and boron.

All depth measurements reported, including radioactivity and mineralization interval widths are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness are yet to be determined.

PLS Mineralized Trend Summary

Uranium mineralization at PLS has been traced by core drilling over 2.24km of east-west strike length in four separate mineralized "zones" from line 615W (PLS13-124) to line 1620E (PLS14-196). From west to east, these zones are; R600W, R00E, R780E and R1620E. The former R390E, R585, R945E and R1155E zones have been merged into the R780E zone by successful 2014 winter and summer drilling. The R780E zone now stands at 930m of continuous strike length within a mineralized lateral corridor up to 150m wide (line 870E). Mineralization remains open along strike both to the western and eastern extents. Mineralization is both located within and associated with a metasedimentary lithologic corridor, bounded to the south by the PL-3B basement Electro-Magnetic (EM) Conductor.
