Fission Uranium Corp. (TSX:FCU) is ready to commence geotechnical drilling at its PLS high-grade uranium mine and mill project in Saskatchewan, Canada.
The results will be used to support the detailed engineering design of the waste management and landfill facility, tailings management facility, and ventilation shafts. Drilling is scheduled to begin in the first week of April and the company expects to transition from the current Front end engineering design stage to detailed engineering by early Q3 2024.
In the detailed engineering phase, Fission will finalize the details of engineering designs, vendor supply packages, and construction work packages to enable the company to proceed with procurement, fabrication, installation, and construction of the various components of the PLS project including mine development, processing plant and infrastructure.
The 32-hole geotechnical drill programme will support the detailed design of:
- Tailings Management Facility (24 holes) – 910m of sonic drilling
- Waste Management and Landfill Facility (four holes) – 80m of sonic drilling
- Ventilation shafts (four holes) – 440m of sonic and diamond core drilling
- Programme will be completed by early May
- Video featuring development highlights of Fission’s PLS Project now available
Ross McElroy, CEO for Fission commented, ” Fission Uranium’s high-grade uranium mine and mill project at PLS continues to advance at a strong pace thanks to the vast experience of our inhouse development team, and the advantages of having a shallow, decline access mine plan. We are now very close to completing the front end engineering design and, with the recent submission of our draft Environmental Impact Statement to the Province of Saskatchewan, our timelines for permitting are also on schedule.”
