Fission Energy
Fission Energy Corp. (TSX.V-FIS) is a Canadian based uranium exploration and development company with properties in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, Quebec, and the Macusani District in Peru. The Company's shares were spun-out as a distribution by Strathmore Minerals Corp (TSX.V-STM) in 2007. In 2003-04 Fission assembled one of the largest exploration property portfolios in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin; home of the richest uranium deposits in the world. Fission's most valuable exploration asset is the Waterbury Lake KEPCO Consortium Joint Venture., which is located in close proximity to Hathor's Midwest NE discovery ("Roughrider Zone")
Fission Energy to Target Ground near Hathor’s Roughrider Zone Extension Step-Out Hole
Successful drill results by companies operating in the neighbourhood generally ushers more confidence in properties held by other companies. They also prompt other companies to change their own development strategy. Following the successful results announced by Hathor Exploration (TSX.V: HAT) on its Roughrider Zone uranium discovery, Canadian Venture listed Fission Energy Corp (TSX.V: FIS) and its joint venture partner, the KEPCO Consortium is re-evaluating its exploration program at its Waterbury Lake property.
This exploration project is located adjacent to the Roughrider Zone uranium discovery in the northeast part of the Athabasca Basin, where several open-pit uranium deposits, including Midwest Lake, McClean Lake, and Rabbit Lake, are located. Hathor drilling results helped extend the strike length of the "Roughrider Zone". Of particular significance to Fission is Hathor's step-out hole MWNE-09-116, which "intersected the highest levels of radioactivity was collared approximately 10m from Fission's property boundary with the mineralized interval intersected 50m from the same property boundary.
The location of step-out hole MWNE-09-116, within an interpreted major east-west coincident structural and conductive trend, suggests that the "Roughrider Zone" may extend onto Fission's Waterbury Lake ground. Fission encountered nearby mineralization in several drill holes completed in the Discovery Bay Zone, which is characterized by intense hydrothermal alteration in addition to coincident anomalous geochemistry and radioactivity, during an earlier programme.
Extensive development activity is expected at the Waterbury Lake property and JV partners have budgeted C$4.0 million for exploration in 2009. Fission is the operator of the Waterbury Lake Project.
