Fission Energy Corp.: 40 of 49 Holes Hit Mineralization, J Zone Grows West, North & South

KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 04, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- FISSION ENERGY CORP. ("Fission" or the "Company") /quotes/zigman/474695 CA:FIS -1.18% (otcqx:FSSIF) and its Limited Partner, the Korea Waterbury Uranium Limited Partnership ("the Waterbury Consortium"), announce the completion of the 2012 winter drill program at the Waterbury Lake Property in the Athabasca Basin. A total of 32,770m were completed in 86 drill holes, while two additional holes were abandoned for technical reasons. Drilling focused primarily on central and western parts the J Zone where 40 of the 49 step-out and infill holes successfully widened the lateral north-south mineralized dimensions by up to 55m and confirmed continuity of wide widths of mineralization in areas tested by earlier programs. Hand held scintillometer results for 21 drill holes were previously reported, including several wider, well developed intervals of mineralization in four infill drill holes in the western part of the J Zone (see press release dated January 31, 2012), and three step-out holes drilled laterally to the north of the central J Zone boundary, which intersected discrete intervals of "off-scale" (greater than 9999 cps) radioactivity within wide intervals of well developed mineralization in the sandstone and the basement immediately below the unconformity (see press release dated February 21, 2012). The remaining 37 drill holes were completed in the Summit Zone (12 holes) located 525m west of the J Zone, in addition to several other high priority regional exploration targets including Murphy Lake (14 holes), Oban (3 holes), Oban North (3 holes) and Chivas (5 holes). Fission's technical team is encouraged by the initial results from Murphy Lake, located in the northwest part of the Waterbury Lake Property, where Holes WAT12-273, 279, and 287A demonstrated potential to host new high grade mineralization, and Oban where holes WAT12-285A, 292 and 296A all intersected anomalous radioactivity near the unconformity. Assays are pending for all 86 holes.

J Zone Highlights

Highlights of the Winter 2012 J Zone drilling include:




-- Of the 49 drill holes completed in the J Zone, 40 or 81.6% intersected
mineralization with radioactivity ranging from anomalous to "off-scale"
in the sandstone, at the unconformity, and in the basement. Two holes,
WAT12-224B and WAT12-235A were abandoned for technical reasons.
-- In the central and western part of the J Zone, step-out drilling widened
the lateral north-south dimensions in many areas by up to 55m. Infill
drilling confirmed the continuity of J Zone mineralization with wide
intervals of well developed mineralization observed in many drill holes.
-- Mineralization in the central part of the J Zone (Line 225W to Line
435W) was intersected in the sandstone above the unconformity, extending
through the unconformity into the basement.
-- Mineralization in the western part of the J Zone (Line 450W to Line
495W) was intersected in the sandstone, at the unconformity, and the
basement.
-- The western part of the J Zone from Line 510W to Line 540W is
predominantly basement hosted mineralization, and has been intersected
up to 31m below the unconformity (down-hole depth). In addition, holes
WAT12-294 and 297 (Line 765W) collared a further 225m west of Hole
WAT12-281 (Line 525W), intersected basement hosted mineralization at
25.4m and 26.5m below the unconformity, respectively. These two drill
holes further demonstrate the potential for continued expansion of the J
Zone's strike length to the west.
-- Discrete levels of "off-scale" (greater than 9999 cps) radioactivity
were observed in a total of 6 drill holes: Holes WAT12-237B (Line 285W),
Hole WAT12-242,244 and 247 (Line 300W), WAT12-280 (Line 325W), and
WAT12-284C (Line 525W).
-- The J Zone's east-west strike length now extends 667m from the eastern
Rio Tinto property boundary, where modelling has determined that the J
East Zone mineralization is connected with the main J Zone, west to Hole
WAT12-281 (Line 525). Mineralization continues to trend to the west and
remains open along strike and laterally to the north and south.





Significant scintillometer results in the western part of the J Zone trending west from Line 300W to Line 525W, in addition to Line 765W, 225m west of the current J Zone boundary, include the following drill holes:

Hole WAT12-280 (Line 300W) intersected 10.5m of anomalous to "off-scale" radioactivity (greater than 9999 cps) at the unconformity (209.0m-219.5m), in the vicinity where three previously announced drill holes, WAT12-242,244 and 247 (see press release dated February 21, 2012), expanded mineralization in the sandstone and at the unconformity.

Hole WAT12-300 (Line 375W) intersected 13.5m (213m-226.5m) of anomalous to strong mineralization in the basement (maximum peak 8500 cps) and a narrower 2.0m interval (209.0m-211m) of weak radioactivity (maximum peak 345 cps).

Hole WAT12-302 (Line 375W) intersected 11.0m (215.0m-226m) of anomalous to moderately strong radioactivity (maximum peak 5500 cps) in the basement and a narrow 0.5m interval(228.5m-229.0m) of weak radioactivity (maximum peak 308 cps) below this wider intersection.

Hole WAT12-293 (Line 390W) intersected 15.5m (211.0m-226.5m) of anomalous to moderate radioactivity (maximum peak 2650 cps) at the unconformity, and 5.5m (228.0m-233.5m) of anomalous to moderate radioactivity (maximum peak 2000 cps) in the basement.

Hole WAT12-295 (Line 390W) intersected 15m (201.0-216.5m) of anomalous to moderately strong radioactivity (maximum peak 2700 cps) at the unconformity, and 2.5m (219.0m-221.5m) of variable radioactivity, with a maximum peak of 2500 cps, in the basement.

Hole WAT12-298 (Line 390W) intersected 10m (219.5m-229.5) of anomalous to locally strong radioactivity (maximum peak 7200 cps) at the unconformity, in addition to two narrow intervals, 1.5m (215.5m-217.0) of weaker radioactivity (maximum peak 456 cps) in the sandstone above the unconformity and 2.0m (234.5m-236.5m) in the basement (maximum peak 628 cps).

Hole WAT12-284C (line 525W) intersected 2.0m (273.0m-275.0m) with intervals of moderate to "off-scale" radioactivity (1200cps-greater than 9999 cps) in the basement, in addition to 5.0m (281.0-286.0) of anomalous to moderate radioactivity readings (maximum peak 3700 cps) and 5.5m (263.0m-268.5m) of weaker radioactivity (maximum peak 620 cps), also in the basement.

Holes WAT12-294 and 297 (Line 765W) drilled approximately 225m west of Hole WAT12-281 (Line 525W), both intersected 1.5m (234.0m-235.5m and 240.0m-241.5m respectively) of moderate radioactivity (maximum peaks 2820 and 3400 cps respectively) in the basement.

Summit Zone

The Summit Zone, located approximately 525m west of the J Zone, was targeted for further exploration, based on results from Hole WAT11-199, drilled 30m west of Hole WAT11-153A from Lines 1430W to 1480W (See press release dated November 14, 2011). Of the 12 follow-up holes completed to test for extensions of the basement mineralization in the vicinity of these two holes, 6 intersected narrow widths of weak radioactivity, mostly in the basement, and 6 holes were barren. Hole WAT12-251 (Line 1470W) showed the best result, intersecting 1.5m (254.0m-255.5) of weak to moderately strong radioactivity (maximum peak 3800 cps) in the basement. Further drilling is required to assess this area.

Hole WAT12-243: In addition to the weak uranium mineralization intersected from 238.5-241.5m and 243.5-245.0m, massive Nickel-Arsenic-Cobalt sulphide mineralization was intersected from 258.5-265.0m.

Murphy Lake

Murphy Lake is a high priority prospective area for discovering new high grade mineralization. Fourteen holes were completed to follow-up limited drilling completed during the 2011 summer drill program. Significantly, the final three holes completed at Murphy Lake, Holes WAT12-273, 279, and 287A (Line 6150W) intersected basement mineralization associated with the M8 Conductor located at the south end of the Murphy Lake Corridor, with Hole WAT12-273 intersecting 6 intervals with widths from 0.5m to 8.5m of anomalous radioactivity ranging from less than 300 cps to a maximum peak of 1000 cps. The southern region of the Murphy Lake Corridor is characterized by faulting associated with the flexure of the conductor system around the southern edge of an interpreted granitic dome. Further drilling is required to test this area.

Oban, Oban North, and Chivas

The Oban Corridor parallels the Discovery Bay Corridor, which hosts the high grade J Zone uranium discovery, approximately 4 km to the south. Three holes were drilled at Oban. The Oban North Corridor is located immediately north of Oban and is characterized by a conductor system oriented to the NW. Three holes were drilled at Oban North. The Chivas Corridor is an approximate east-west oriented conductor system located approx. 3km to the west and on strike of Oban. Five holes were drilled at Chivas. Drilling at Oban, Oban North and Chivas represent Fission's ongoing regional exploration designed to test prospective geophysical anomalies identified by earlier geophysical surveys.

All three holes at Oban (O2 Conductor) intersected mineralization in both the sandstone above the unconformity and in the basement. The best result was received from Hole WAT12-296A, which intersected 5.0m (243.0m-248.0m) of anomalous to moderate readings of radioactivity (maximum peak 2600 cps) in the basement.

No significant mineralization was identified at Oban North or Chivas.

Four updated drill hole maps for the J Zone, including a larger scale map showing the J Zone within the East-West Corridor, in addition to maps for the Summit Zone, Murphy Lake, Oban/Oban North, and Chivas can be found on the Company's website at http://www.fission-energy.com/s/WaterburyLake.asp Assay results will be announced when available.

All holes were radiometrically surveyed with a Mount Sopris 2GHF Triple Gamma probe. The triple gamma probe uses both a Na-I scintillation crystal and a ZP1320 High-Flux Geiger-Mueller tube pair, which allows better resolution in strongly radiometric intervals.

Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using either a hand held Exploranium GR-110G total count gamma-ray scintillometer, or a hand held Exploranium RS-125 total count Super Gamma-Ray Scintillometer. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured, and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. All intersections are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness is yet to be determined.

Split core samples from the mineralized section of core will be taken continuously through the mineralized intervals and submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an scc iso/iec 17025:2005 Accredited Facility) of Saskatoon for analysis, which includes U3O8 (wt %) and fire assay for gold. All samples sent for analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry (partial digestion) and boron.

United States Still Favors Nuclear Power

According to the results of Gallup’s annual Environment survey4, conducted earlier this month, the majority of Americans continue to favor nuclear energy as a source of electricity for the United States. The survey indicated that 57 percent of participants were in favor of nuclear power this year, the same amount as in 1994, the first year for the survey. This year’s results also demonstrate an equal level of support among participants as last year, just prior to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Support for the nuclear industry as measured by the survey has ranged from a low of 46 percent in 2001 to a high of 62 percent in 2010.

According to the results of Gallup’s annual Environment survey4, conducted earlier this month, the majority of Americans continue to favor nuclear energy as a source of electricity for the United States. The survey indicated that 57 percent of participants were in favor of nuclear power this year, the same amount as in 1994, the first year for the survey. This year’s results also demonstrate an equal level of support among participants as last year, just prior to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Support for the nuclear industry as measured by the survey has ranged from a low of 46 percent in 2001 to a high of 62 percent in 2010.

These results are of significance to investors as the US is the largest consumer of uranium in the world, with 104 operational nuclear reactors. Continued public support and confidence from the country should guide future political decisions and foster economic interest in domestic and international uranium resources as well as in nuclear industry stakeholders.

Uranium spot market prices

The uranium spot market price as reported by TradeTech5 remained at $51.00 per pound. The price stability overshadows two weeks of relatively dynamic activity in the spot uranium market, where ten transactions were reported. The majority of potential demand is focused on deliveries further into the future and has had little impact on current prices. Seven transactions concluded last week, compared with only three transactions reported this week.

Company news

Cameco Corp.6 (TSX:CCO7,NYSE:CCJ) has offered8 to acquire uranium from Japanese utilities that are unable to operate the 53 nuclear power reactors that have been offline since last March. Japan’s final operating reactor is scheduled to shut down in May, while stress test results are being reviewed by the country’s nuclear regulator.

Cameco is confident that Japan will bring at least a portion of its fleet back online in the near future; however, a timeline has not been identified at this point. The Japanese Prime Minister is expected to instigate reactor operations based on positive safety results and political and public support.

According to Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel, the company is “partners with some of the Japanese utilities in some mining projects. We’ve talked to them about whether they’re staying in the game and indeed they are staying in. They’re continuing to invest in exploration. I think that’s positive news for the Japanese fleet going forward.”

Additional support for increased near-term demand for uranium was offered9 by Luc Oursel, the CEO of AREVA10 (EPA:AREVA11), at a nuclear industry event in Seoul. Oursel stated that “t has obviously slowed down a certain number of projects but when we look now as a global situation, we think this will pick up soon.”

The news is a positive development for investors and uranium producers as it confirms that future global demand may gain traction even sooner than anticipated. With top-level producers demonstrating confidence in a recommitment to nuclear policy, the anti-nuclear sentiment that has gained momentum in Western European nations seems to be settling.

Bill Gates offers positive future perspective for nuclear industry

Bill Gates talked about the future of energy use in a Wall Street Journal interview12 at the 2012 ECO:nomics conference13, commenting, “the thing I’m investing in is a fourth-generation design [of a nuclear power reactor].” Sharing insight on the underlying technology, he noted that “the concept of this TerraPower reactor is that in the same reactor you both burn and breed. Instead of making plutonium and extracting it, we take uranium and convert that and burn it.”

Junior company news

First Uranium Corp.14 (TSX:FIU15) announced16 that it has entered into a binding letter agreement for the sale of First Uranium Ltd. to Gold One International Ltd.17 (ASX:GDO18).

Mesa Exploration Corp.19 (TSXV:MSA20) announced21 that six drill holes at the Moonshine Springs uranium project have recently been completed. The program tested extensions of previously discovered targets at the property.

Uranium Resources22 (LSE:URA23) reported24 drill results for the six-month period ended last December. The managing director’s report indicates that recent results for the Mtonya project suggest that it bears similarities in its geology, lithology, and mineralogy to the well-known roll-front deposits in Kazakhstan and Wyoming.

Uranium Demand Booming in Asia, According to Leading Financial Site Penny Stock Detectives


In a recent article, Danny Esposito, editor for Penny Stock Detectives, points out that the largest demand for uranium and nuclear energy is coming from Asia—especially China and India. Many of the countries in Asia are moving from emerging economies to developed economies. Due to this reality, says the editor, more and more cities need to be built out where a high concentration of people will settle to work and build their lives. Esposito believes that with the concentration of people living in newly constructed cities comes the need for concentrated and efficient energy systems. According to the analyst, nuclear energy emits no toxic substances, is cost-efficient, and can run at capacities that exceed other energy sources—over 90% capacity utilization—due to the uranium that goes into these nuclear energy plants.

In a recent article, Danny Esposito, editor for Penny Stock Detectives, points out that the largest demand for uranium and nuclear energy is coming from Asia—especially China and India. Many of the countries in Asia are moving from emerging economies to developed economies. Due to this reality, says the editor, more and more cities need to be built out where a high concentration of people will settle to work and build their lives. Esposito believes that with the concentration of people living in newly constructed cities comes the need for concentrated and efficient energy systems. According to the analyst, nuclear energy emits no toxic substances, is cost-efficient, and can run at capacities that exceed other energy sources—over 90% capacity utilization—due to the uranium that goes into these nuclear energy plants.


“Presented with these facts, it is no wonder that Asian nations are choosing nuclear energy and uranium investing,” comments Esposito. “The World Nuclear Association is reporting that 60 nuclear energy plants are currently under construction with an additional 150 nuclear energy plants in the works; with most of these being built out in Asia.”

Ich denke mit Logik kommt man beim für und wider bei Atomenergie nicht weiter- das ist eher wie eine Religion -rationale Sachen werden da vom Glauben verdrängt.

jep der Kursverlauf hier ist sehr enttäuschend. In der Crashzeit einigemassen stabil und nun konstant schwach.

[Boersenkrieger]

neulich auf NTV war zu lesen, daß Wissenschaftler mit kaum gesundheitlichen Folgen in Japan rechnen nach Fukushima.
Krebsraten wären nicht angestiegen und es ist davon auszugehen, daß sie nicht nennenswert steigen werden.

auch ein pluspunkt für Atomenergie.

Da gerade ein Rohstoff-Wert nach dem anderen steigt, bin ich mal gespannt, wann FIS dran ist....
