The Patterson Lake South project is a 50:50 joint venture between Fission Energy and Alpha Minerals, where a recent core drill program was conducted at Hole PLS 13-038.
The findings were located along the conductor 385m east of Discovery with two high grade zones.
An upper zone of 57.5m contained strong mineralization and a lower zone of 15.5m featured intermittent mineralized zones.
Fission president, COO and chief geologist Ross McElroy commented that Hole PLS13-038, based on anomalous results of a recently completed radon in water and sediment survey, supports the company’s winter program at Patterson Lake.
"Such broad mineralization at shallow depth with such a significant zone of off-scale radioactivity is extremely encouraging.
"Further drilling will be focused in the area around this new exciting drill result," McElroy added.
