R780E is located ~225 m to the east of R00E and has a drill defined strike length of ~945 m. Both zones are located beneath Patterson Lake where water depth is generally less than six metres and overburden thickness is generally about 50 m. The R780E zone and R1620E zones make up the eastern region of the Triple R deposit. R00E is located ~485 m to the east along strike of R840W and is drill defined to ~115 m in strike length. R840W is located ~515 m to the east along strike of R1515W and has a drill defined strike length of ~430 m. R1515W is the western-most of the zones and is drill defined to ~90 m in strike-length, ~68 m across strike and ~220 m vertical and where mineralization remains open in several directions. The R1515W, R840W and R00E zones make up the western region of the Triple R deposit and are located on land, where overburden thickness is generally between 55 m to 100 m. In addition, waste rock and mineralized rock samples were collected from both fresh and historical core samples to conduct assessment of the metal leaching (ML) and acid rock drainage (ARD) potential of mine wastes (i.e., waste rock, low grade ore, and overburden) to be produced during mine life. This data will be used for determining dewatering rates and impact on groundwater.Ģ5 Tailings Management Facility holes (essentially all overburden holes) were drilled within the planned TMF area to collect geotechnical and hydrogeological data to confirm the planned TMF location, support the EIA pathways modelling work, and enable constructability assessment and design work to proceed at a Feasibility Level.ġ Camp Area hole (overburden hole) to collect geotechnical data for stability assessment of the overburden to be used to confirm camp building foundation design. A further 4 condemnation holes were drilled to confirm location of the shafts does not intersect mineralized zones or other major geological features that may interfere with shaft constructionĤ Metallurgical test sample holes as reported in the Septemnews releaseģ Rock Mechanic holes as reported in the Septemnews releaseĥ Hydrogeology holes (pumping and water monitoring holes) including 4 holes drilled around the planned decline, and 1 deep well drilled in the R840W zone to collect data required to characterize the hydrogeologic conditions and support hydrogeologic assessments in those areas. Additionally, Fission has appointed Tetra Tech Canada as the lead consultant for the feasibility study.Ģ1 holes along proposed decline alignmentġ8 Geotechnical holes along the proposed decline alignment to gather data to be used to confirm decline constructability and final designģ Condemnation holes to confirm location of decline does not intersect mineralized zones or other major geological features that may interfere with decline constructionĦ holes for Waste Rock Stockpile area (overburden only) to collect geotechnical data for stability assessment of the overburden to be used to confirm waste stockpile design height and slopes.ģ holes for area of Mill (overburden only) to collect geotechnical data for stability assessment of the overburden to be used to confirm mill building foundation design.Ĩ holes for Vent Shaft (Fresh Air and Exhaust Air) including 4 geotechnical holes drilled along each shaft alignment to gather data to be used to confirm shaft constructability and final design. The drill program was completed successfully, and with minimal delays. Further laboratory testwork will be required to confirm the initial assessment. Preliminary data assessment indicates that the location of proposed infrastructure, including the decline, ventilation shafts, stockpiles, TMF, and mill buildings, is optimal.

The primary goals were to collect data to support the Feasibility Study, confirm the design of surface and underground infrastructure proposed in the PFS, and update information to further de-risk the project. The 72-hole geotechnical program was designed to advance the feasibility study at its' PLS project, in the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada.
