Of key importance, regional exploration drilling has hit anomalous radioactivity in three new areas:
- Forest Lake Conductor corridor, 7.28km south-west of the Triple R deposit on land
- Gap between R600W zone and the Triple R deposit
- Line 1215W (255m west of the shallow, land-based high-grade R840W zone, closer to the High Grade Boulder Field 3km to the west)
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented
“This is a successful end to the 2016 Winter program and we are particularly pleased with our latest exploration drilling: we have very promising results on the Forest Lake area over 7km south of the Triple R and also to the west of this winter’s new R840W zone as well as in the gap between the Triple R deposit and the R600W zone. These results follow exploration activity earlier in the program which delivered a new land-based, high-grade zone at R840W, transformed R1620E into a high-grade zone and expanded the mineralized trend at PLS to 2.58km. All three of the new areas will require further drilling as follow up. Our resource drilling has been similarly successful and we now have three high-grade zones that have potential to be added to the Triple R resource.”
