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. Where possible, samples will be standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. Samples from the drill core will be split in half sections on site. Scintillometer readings cannot be used for resource estimates, but are useful for identifying target intervals for assay. These results show areas of elevated radioactivity that imply uranium mineralization, but only an assay will determine the actual uranium content. The device measures radioactivity in counts per second (cps) as reported in these drill results. Pitchblende is a mixture of uranium oxides that can be detected by this device. All intersections are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness is yet to be determined.Ī radiation scintillometer is an instrument used to measure the radioactivity in materials. The degree of radioactivity within the mineralized intervals is highly variable and associated with visible pitchblende mineralization. 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. 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. * Hand-held Scintillometer Results On Mineralized Drillcore (>300 cps / >0.5M minimum) We remain impressed by the progress of the summer program which continues to enjoy a 100% mineralization hit rate with holes drilled so far.”Īs per news release JFission has replaced the GR-110 scintillometer, which measured a maximum of 9,999 cps (referred to as off-scale in all previous PLS drill programs) with the RS-121 scintillometer, which measures up to 65,535 cps for higher resolution readings of strongly anomalous radioactivity. Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented, “We are seeing yet more lateral widening on multiple section lines of the high-grade R780E zone with this new round of excellent drill results. Of additional note, holes PLS14-274 (line 1125E) and PLS14-285 (line 1095E) have further solidified the connection between the recently merged R780E and R1155E zones, with stronger mineralization than previously encountered. Zone R780E, which has a strike length of 930m, continues to widen: with the results of PLS14-282, the lateral horizontal width of the R780E mineralized corridor has expanded to greater than 164m on line 885E. Fission Uranium plans on compiling all the data collected and produce a 43-101 compliant resource estimate by the end of this year. This release is reporting the latest results from eleven drill holes added to the program. The company is currently carrying out a 20,000 m summer drill program on the property to define the extent of their potential deposit. The property has been one of the few good news exploration stories of the past few years and we’ve covered their exploration activities a few times before. Fission has hit mineralization on every one of the 54 R780E zone summer program holes drilled to date.įission Uranium’s Patterson Lake high-grade uranium discovery is located in the prolific Athabasca basin in northern, Saskatchewan. All eleven holes returned wide mineralization, with eight returning intervals of >10,000 cps radioactivity. Of particular note is PLS14-286 (line 495E), with a total of 97.2m composite mineralization at shallow depth, including 9.31m total composite >10,000 cps radioactivity. (“ Fission” or “ the Company“) (TSX VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) is pleased to announce results from eleven new angled drill holes of the summer drill program at its PLS property in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.
