Holes PLS15-299, PLS15-325 and PLS15-303 have yielded large high-grade intercepts, including 14.09% U3O8 over 3.5m in 1.91% U3O8 over 33.5m.

Fission Uranium president, COO and chief geologist Ross McElroy said: "These results show just how robust the continued growth of the Triple R Deposit’s R780E zone is, with a substantially increased footprint, strong grades and shallow depth to mineralization.

"We’re very pleased with progress and are looking forward to the next batch of assays from our highly successful winter program."

The 16 step-out holes were drilled during the 2015 winter drill campaign. 40 holes for scintillometer and down-hole gamma have been reported.

These holes tested the R780E zone for expansion along strike to the east, vertical both up and down dip and laterally north and south, the company said.
