Fission 3.0 Hits Significant Radioactive Mineralization at Murphy Lake

Published

on

Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 10, 2022) – Fission 3.0 Corp. (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FISOF) (“Fission 3” or “the Company“) is pleased to report that the first significant anomalous radioactive mineralization has been discovered in drill hole ML22-006, at its 100%-owned Murphy Lake project in Canada’s Athabasca Basin. The drill hole is still in progress at 509 m as up to 2 m wide graphite and sulphide rich brittle faults continue to be encountered. It is the first drill hole of the expanded Murphy Lake summer drill program that commenced on August 2, 2022.

Drill hole ML22-006, which tested the E1 conductor in the prospective north trending structural corridor located in the east part of the property, has intersected a 2.0 m interval of anomalous and variable radioactivity including a 0.5 m interval with a maximum of 2300 cps, 20.9 m below the Athabasca Unconformity, occurring on the margin of a 34.5 m wide shear zone in basement rocks with graphite laminations and graphitic faults. Hole ML22-006 is located 300 m to the north of the 5 holes that were drilled in the first Murphy Lake drill program carried out in July (see August 2, 2022 Fission 3 News Release).

Dev Randhawa, CEO of Fission 3, commented,

We are greatly encouraged that the first significantly anomalous radioactivity has been encountered at Murphy Lake. The initial summer drilling had confirmed the north trending conductor corridor as highly prospective and these new results substantially up-grade the potential of the area. Additional drilling will follow up on this new mineralization and plans to further expand the drill program are underway.”

Initial Drill Results:

Hole ML22-006 (still in progress):

Hole ML22-006 was collared as an angled hole reaching the unconformity at a depth of 303.1 m. The lower sandstone from ~196 m onwards becomes very friable containing very common unconsolidated sand seams. From ~250 m and below the sandstone contains sections of pervasive to fracture controlled clay alteration. Hematized and bleached granitoid occurs beneath the Athabasca unconformity at 303.1 m to a depth of ~312 m. A two-meter interval from 323.0 m to 325.0 m has yielded anomalous radioactivity greater than 420 cps with a peak of up to 2300 cps from 324.0 m to 324.5 m. This is just before the intersection of a 34.5 m wide shear zone from 326.5 m to 361.0 m characterized by ductile deformation and containing graphite laminations and graphitic faults and fractures. A 4.8 m wide graphite and sulphide rich cataclastic brittle fault zone was intersected within the shear zone from a depth of 356.7 m to 361.5 m. The drill hole is still in progress at 509 m as zones of clay and chlorite altered basement rocks continue to be intersected after the shear zone as well as several graphite and sulphide rich cataclastic brittle faults up to ~2 m in width and containing healed brecciated wall rock.
