Fission hits 57.5m of Mineralization With 11.65m Off-Scale on-strike step-out


If you’ve not yet read our latest press release, further step-out drilling at the Patterson Lake South (PLS) property has delivered a 57.5m band of strong mineralization that includes 11.65 off-scale radioactivity on 385m On-Strike Step-out.

Here are the key highlights:

  • Two main wide broad zones of mineralization (Upper and Lower Zone), as measured with a GR-110 hand-held scintillometer;
  • Upper Zone (86.5m – 144.0m) - A 57.5m wide zone characterized by variable radioactivity from weak to very strong throughout.
  • Of particular note within the Upper Zone is a continuous 11.9m wide interval (94.9m – 106.8m) of very strong mineralization which includes 10.6m of off-scale radioactivity.
  • Lower Zone (165.0m – 180.5m) – A 15.5m wide zone characterized by intermittent weak to locally moderate mineralized zones and barren intervals.

I strongly recommend you check out the release as it has a comprehensive overview of progress to date. Suffice to say, the Fission team and I are thrilled at the way things are progressing.  Ross McElroy, our President, COO and head Geo had this to say:

"Such broad mineralization at shallow depth, and with such a large zone of off-scale radioactivity, is extremely encouraging. It’s particularly exciting considering this is coming so soon after our earlier high grade hits and we are still only a small way into the Winter drill program ."
