Fission Uranium Corp. announced a winter program at its' 100% owned PLS property in Canada's Athabasca Basin region. The program will include geotechnical testing of key areas identified for surface infrastructure as identified in the Feasibility Study, including proposed stockpiles and mill locations.

Also, 5 drill holes are designed to confirm groundwater modelling of certain sections of the R780E zone. Additionally, the company has staked a new, 11,148-hectare property in the western Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. The West Cluff property is prospective for high-grade uranium and is located 75km north of the Company's PLS project, and less than 3km west of the past-producing Cluff Lake mine.

Previous drill holes for the feasibility study were drilled in the general area of the waste stockpiles to test suitability for waste storage. Now that the waste stockpiles are designed to FS level, based on the estimated waste volumes for PAG, non-PAG and overburden volumes, three additional holes are required within the footprint of each stockpile to confirm stratigraphy, and to update the stability analysis. The PLS Mill.

The mill area drill holes will be for Basic Engineering Design as previous drill holes were drilled in the general mill area, and data used to assess the suitability of the area for foundations. Now that the mill area has specific building locations, as per the FS, further drilling is required for foundation design. Test Pits.

The 20 test pits will gather information on perched water tables and estimating boulder content for earthworks planning. Six pits are proposed for the waste rock stockpile area, four pits are proposed in the mill area, and ten pits are proposed along the two main site access roads from the permanent camp to the mill area (6 pits) and from the mill area to the mine portal R780E Zone Hydrogeologic Drilling. These holes will cover the hangingwall and footwall areas, and will consist of drilling 2 pumping wells and 3 VWP monitoring wells.

The drilling is required to confirm the analysis completed for groundwater modelling for the underground mining plan developed for the Feasibility Study. Each well will test basement rock hydraulic conductivity, followed by an additional hydraulic conductivity test after pressure grouting. This will confirm the results of the groundwater modelling, and confirm the assumptions made for modelling where pressure grouting has been assumed for groundwater inflow mitigation during development.

All season access via government-maintained Highway 955 The highly prospective property covers both the margin and near margin western side of the Carswell Structe, in the Weststern Athabasca Basin district. The Carswell Impact Structure is a large, circular shaped section measuring 18km in diameter, comprised primarily of the basement rock that underlies the Athabasca Basin sandstone formations. A major geologic tectonic event, possibly related to a meteorite impact, resulted in the basement rock of the Carswell Structure being quickly thrust upwards for several hundred meters through the overlying Athabasca sandstones.

The Carswell Structure is tectonically complex, with a number of ring faults surrounding the margin of the structure and a series of linear faults perpendicular to the ring faults within the basement structure, often expressing themselves as discrete Electromagnetic "EM" conductors. High grade Athabasca Basin related uranium deposits are often associated with EM fault conductors, within hydrothermal altered rock, in a setting similar to the West Cluff property. The major past producing Cluff Lake Mine is located on the southern edge of the Carswell Structure in a tectonically complex environment, similar to that interpreted on the West Cluff property and is within 3km of the property.
