The program includes 11,000m of drilling in 44 holes, ground geophysics surveys on two unexplored highly prospective areas on the property. It is aimed at the delineation and expansion of the high grade discovery zones R00E, 390E, and mineralization of R780E.
Fission president, COO, and chief geologist Ross McElroy stated that the latest exploration program is planned on the back of recent success of the winter program and the results of the recently completed radon survey extension.
"With three rigs, three barges and the clear goal of expanding our discovery, this is going to be an aggressive program and we’re looking forward to getting started," added McElroy.
A combination of RC drilling for pre-collaring and two diamond drill core rigs will be employed to drill bedrock, while barges will be used to test targets on the R390E and R780E zones as well as testing additional targets along trend within Patterson Lake, both to
the SW and NE of the currently known mineralized zones, the company added.
Fission is the operator of the 31,039 hectare PLS exploration project that is a 50% joint venture with Alpha Minerals.
