Fission 3.0 Corp (TSV: FUU) (OTCQB: FISOF) (“Fission 3” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce that mobilization for winter drilling has begun at its 100% owned Patterson Lake North (PLN) project. The company plans to expand on the highly successful drill results from November 2022 with a 20-hole program of step-out drilling.
Drilling Results
Assays from November 2022 confirmed shallow depth, wide, and continuous mineralization in basement rock with 15.0 m @ 6.97% U3O8, including a high-grade 5.5 m interval averaging 18.6% U3O8 (PLN22-035). The new drill holes will test for the continuation of mineralization along strike and up and down dip, where four holes drilled in the fall of 2022 outlined a significant zone of high-grade uranium that remains open in all directions.
Drilling Plan
The plan includes additional holes on section lines 00N and 15S to establish the extent of mineralization that has already been intersected on those 2 lines before stepping out along strike. Holes will also test up-dip for unconformity and sandstone-hosted mineralization. Assay results from the remaining drill holes of the fall 2022 program will be released as they become available and finalized.
