Re: News Release - Thursday, March 04, 2010 Title: Fission Intersects 17m of 3.99% U308 Including 7.0m Grading 7.48% U308
FISSION ENERGY CORP. ("Fission" or the "Company") and its joint venture partner, the KEPCO Consortium, announce that drill hole WAT10-070B, a vertical 15m step-out to the west of the high-grade mineralization encountered in the WAT10-063A, intersected a 17.0m interval at the unconformity (194.5m-211.5m) grading 3.99% U308, including 7.0m at 7.48% U308. The maximum grade identified within the 7.0m intercept was 0.50m of 20.6% U308. Table 1, shown below, highlights the latest assay results. In addition, hole WAT10-068, which has extended mineralization approximately 35m to the north of hole WAT10-066, intersected 2.50m (209.5m-212.0m) of 2.78% U308, including 1.50m grading 4.56% U308 (see news release dated February 16, 2010).
These latest results have extended the J-Zone to the west and north, reinforcing Fission's belief that the J-Zone represents a significant new discovery of unconformity mineralization at the Company's Waterbury Lake Project in the Athabasca Basin. Given that the drilling to date at the J-Zone for holes WAT10-63A to WAT10-073 has encountered mineralization at similar depths, suggesting a flat-lying horizontal feature, management believes the vertical drill holes represent a more accurate thickness. The J-Zone remains open at depth and along strike. Furthermore, significant potential for multiple occurrences of high-grade uranium mineralization exists to the west of the J-Zone within the 3 km long East-West Corridor identified by earlier exploration.
Fission plans to continue drilling through to spring break-up. Further results will be provided when available.

- Minimum Thickness: 1.50m
- Grade Cut-off: 0.05 U308 (wt%)
All intersections are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness is yet to be determined.
A map of the J-Zone and tables summarizing drill hole location, core hand-held Scintillometer Readings, and complete assay results to date can be found on the Company's website at http://www.fission-energy.com/s/WaterburyLake.asp
All holes were radiometrically surveyed with a Mount Sopris 2GHF Triple Gamma probe. The triple gamma probe uses both a Na-I scintillation crystal and a ZP1320 High-Flux Geiger-Mueller tube pair, which allows better resolution in strongly radiometric intervals.
Split core samples from the mineralized section of core will be taken continuously through the mineralized intervals and submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) of Saskatoon for analysis, which includes U3O8 (wt%) and fire assay for gold, platinum and palladium. All samples sent for analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry (partial digestion) and boron. Chemical results will be released when received.
