The Clearwater West project is located near Fission Uranium’s PLS property in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.
The $940,000, 1,050m program follows the last year’s ground geophysics survey and prospecting programs that found EM conductors and prioritized prospective, shallow targets near the Clearwater/PLS boundary.
Fission Uranium intersected near-surface anomalous radioactivity in a down-hole gamma radiometric bore-hole survey.
Under the drill program, Fission 3 aims to find a cluster of basement EM conductors in the eastern area of project.
Ground DC Resistivity work, which was recently completed, will be utilized to prioritize the drill hole locations.
Fission 3.0 COO and chief geologist Ross McElroy said: "Drilling has now begun at Clearwater West. Overall exploration at the property has progressed quickly and effectively over the past twelve months and we are excited that drill testing of our most prospective targets has commenced."
The winter 2015 geophysic field work included 17.125 line-km of small moving loop EM undertaken by Patterson Geophysics earlier this year.
Canex Energy has entered into a three-year option to buy up to a 50% stake in Clearwater West. The company plans to invest $5,000,000 of staged exploration expenditures on or before 10 October 2016.
