Fission – Head Geo Driving Success

You no doubt caught this week’s big news from Fission – a high grade discovery made while drilling at our PLS property in the Athabasca Basin. It’s no coincidence that our drilling program has had this level of results. Last year at PLS we discovered a high grade boulder field and just last month announced we had expanded the size of that boulder field by nearly 50%.  Arial surveys, successful ground prospecting and carefully planned drilling has enabled us to steadily home in on this week's big discovery.

If you’ve not met him at one of the mining investment shows that we regularly attend and have not yet checked out the management page on our, I would like you introduce you to Ross McElroy – Fission’s president and chief geologist. Not only does he head up the technical team but he has been instrumental in five of the last nine major uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin – home to the world’s highest grades of uranium.

For the last four years Mr McElroy has successfully directed the highly skilled geologist and drill teams that enabled us to first make Fission’s first major discovery at our Waterbury Lake project and subsequently to make such tremendous progress at PLS.

A great Geo team lies at the heart of successful exploration and it’s worth you checking out Mr McElroy’s profile on our management page and listening to the audio clip he recently recorded regarding the latest PLS results.
