Fission Uranium Corp.: (FCU:TSX; FCUUF:OTCQX; 2FU:FSE) Fission is the most awarded uranium explorer in the world. It owns the PLS project in Canada's Athabasca Basin, home to the world's richest uranium deposits. PLS is host to the Triple R deposit – the only major, high-grade deposit in the region that is near-surface – together with three additional high-grade, shallow-depth zones. This mineralization is part of a 2.58km mineralized trend that has the largest footprint in the Athabasca Basin and is still open in multiple directions. Exploration is ongoing. Fission has won the industry's top awards, including The Northern Miner's Mining Person/s of the Year, PDAC's Bill Denis Award and The Mining Journal's Excellence Award. Most recently, The Mining Journal ranked PLS as the top undeveloped uranium project in the world. Headed up by CEO Dev Randhawa, the company has made two major uranium discoveries in three years. President and Chief Geologist, Ross McElroy, has been instrumental in five of the last ten major discoveries in the basin. In January, 2016, CGN Mining invested $82M (cash) in Fission at a premium, ensuring the company is very well-funded. More>
