Fission Hits 14.74% U3O8 Over 10.0m at Shallow Depth (Line 540E)
Multiple new shallow, high-grade assays at PLS
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 29, 2014) - FISSION URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) ("Fission" or "the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from nine holes drilled in the R780E zone and one drilled in the R00E zone at its Patterson Lake South (PLS) property in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, Canada. Of particular note is hole PLS14-160, located on line 540E. The hole returned high-grade intervals such as 14.74% U3O8 over 10.0m in a composite interval of 4.44% U3O8 over 38.0m. All ten holes intersected wide intervals and six of the holes returned substantial high-grade assays.
The strong mineralization exhibited in holes PLS14-160, 171 and 156 shows the exceptional strength of uranium mineralization in the middle region over a substantial strike length of the R780E zone. The size of this shallow, very robust high-grade central region has grown considerably during the course of the winter program. Other spectacular holes from this area include PLS14-129 (line 600E) and PLS14-187 (line 660E) as reported in news releases of Feb 19th, 2014 and April 22nd, 2014 respectively.

To date, assay results from 40 holes of the recent winter program have now been released; results from 52 holes are pending.
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented,
"Another round of superb growth confirmed at PLS. We are seeing some very high grades and wide intervals, as evidenced by holes such as PLS14-160 and PLS14-171. We have considerable mineralization in all ten holes and, just as importantly, mineralization starts at depths as shallow as 50.0m. We continue to be very pleased with the results of our aggressive winter program."
