Based on the fall 2014 survey, the drill program is expected to start later this year. Earlier EM conductors and prioritized prospective targets were identified at the Clearwater/PLS boundary.
A ground DC resistivity survey is being carried out to prioritize the drill holes. Cluster of basement EM conductors in the eastern area of project will be the primary focus of the drilling.
Fission COO and chief geologist Ross McElroy said: "Surveys and ground prospecting, during Fall 2014 have helped us identify and prioritize a number of high priority targets close to the border with PLS and, just 330m away, Fission Uranium intersected near-surface anomalous radioactivity.
"We’ve now reached the stage at which drill testing these high profile targets is the logical next step."
As part of the drilling, ten first pass exploration holes are planned.
Five exploration drill holes on the Depper Grid will test the basement resistivity anomalies targeting the adjacent conductor axes, while the remaining exploration drill holes will test five other conductors targeting areas of increased conductivity along each of them.
