	June 24, 2010 Fission Energy Commences Drilling at Davy Lake, Athabasca Basin
	FISSION ENERGY CORP. ("Fission" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that a 2,000m drill program has commenced at its 100% owned Davy Lake Uranium Project, which comprises nineteen claims totalling 74,614 Ha in the north-central part of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 60 km southwest of Fond-Du-Lac, Saskatchewan. This program represents the first drilling to be conducted at Davy Lake. It will test high priority unconformity related anomalies identified by ground magnetotellurics (MT) surveys and supported by gravity and magnetic surveys. The uranium model envisioned at Davy Lake is analogous to the unconformity type mineralization associated with several known high grade uranium deposits in the eastern part of the Athabasca Basin. Uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin are associated with basement graphitic conductors in areas of structural complexity and usually accompanied by a clay alteration halos. The first drill target at Davy Lake determined by geophysical analysis, exhibits these characteristics. More specifically, airborne and ground geophysical analysis has defined a prominent northeast trending Archaen basement fault and the possible presence of a faulted graphitic basement conductor to the southeast with an expanded low resistivity response at the unconformity. Initial drilling will target this location. A 2,000m drill contract has been signed with Bryson Drilling Ltd. of Archerwill, SK. Two to three drill holes are planned. Drill crews and personnel have mobilized to the Davy Lake Property and drilling is now underway. Upon completion of the program, each bore hole will be logged with a Mount Sopris 2GHF Triple Gamma probe. All drill core will be geologically logged and systematically sampled for geochemical and clay analysis. Drill core samples will be submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) of Saskatoon for analysis, which includes a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry (partial digestion) and boron. Results will be provided when available. An updated 2010 Drill Program map for Davy Lake can be found on the Company's website at http://www.fission-energy.com/s/DavyLake.asp.
