Highlights:



--  The initial radon survey at Preston Lake has successfully identified a
    number of significant radon anomalies occurring both as clusters and as
    discrete point anomalies 
--  Nine of the 291 radon samples collected returned radon values in excess
    of 23 pCi/l (picocuries per litre) with a peak value of 98 pCi/l 
--  Radon in water survey results were instrumental in identifying first
    pass drill targets at the nearby PLS discovery (see Fission Uranium's
    News Release dated May 6, 2013) 
--  Twenty-five discrete geographic areas on the Preston Lake Property were
    identified that have radioactivity measurements of more than 1,000
    counts per second (background being typically less than 500 cps) using
    an RS-125/RS-120 Spectrometer / Scintillometer, with a maximum reading
    of 5,200 counts per second 
--  Final results from the Phase 2 exploration program, including the rest
    of the rushed-assays, are pending and will be reported when received 
--  The current Phase 3 exploration underway at Preston Lake will include
    focus on specific high-priority areas identified from the work to date 



Darren L. Smith, Director of Noka Resources Inc. and P.Geol. of Dahrouge
Geological Consulting Ltd. states: "The presence of at least four distinct
clusters of radon in water anomalies over the area surveyed is extremely
encouraging. Radon, as an exploration tool, is one of the purest and most direct
indicator of uranium mineralization as uranium deposits will produce significant
radon as a decay product. The radon in water survey has proven effective at
Preston Lake for confirming several high priority areas with coincident
conductor and structural corridors. Additional radon surveying, including ground
and lake ice, is anticipated to be a primary tool for final drill targeting, as
has proven effective on several properties in the region" 


Radon Discoveries in the Phase 2 Exploration Program:

Recently completed fieldwork included the collection of 291 water samples from
lakes, local swamps, and ponds using a float equipped helicopter and boats.
Sample targets included both regional reconnaissance areas and the fourteen
high-priority targets identified by the Syndicate's Technical Committee. The
samples were analyzed for radon in the field by Terralogic Exploration
geologists using a Pylon AB5 Series Portable Radiation Monitor which provides
real time analysis of radon levels in both water and soil. 


The survey has successfully identified a number of radon in water anomalies
occurring both as clusters and as discrete point anomalies. The larger clusters
are typically kilometre-scale or greater and are in places that appear to follow
basement conductor trends identified by the 2013 VTEM plus survey. Nine of the
291 water samples collected returned radon values in excess of 23 pCi/l with a
peak value of 98 pCi/l. Further, two of the radon anomaly clusters are
associated with areas identified as being underlain by metasediments. Anomalous
radon in water readings are values above the survey background reading of 3
pCi/l.

Radon in water survey results were instrumental in identifying first pass drill
targets at the nearby PLS discovery and helped vector in on most of the
high-grade discovery zones (see Fission's May 6, 2013 News Release - New Radon
Survey Identifies Strongest Anomaly to Date).


Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Western
Athabasca Syndicate Property.


Scintillometer Traces in the Phase 2 Exploration Program:

In addition, a total of 217 kilometres of scintillometer surveying has been
completed over areas of interest identified by the 2013 radiometric survey. A
total of twenty-five discrete geographic areas on the Preston Lake Property have
been identified with counts per second of greater than 1,000 using an
RS-125/RS-120 Spectrometer / Scintillometer, with a maximum count of 5,200
counts per second. Two of the anomalies are associated with meta-sedimentary
units. 


Management cautions that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly
related to the uranium content of the rock sample measured, and should be used
only as a preliminary indication of the presence of uranium bearing materials.

Remaining Phase 2 Rushed-Assays and Current Phase 3 Exploration Program:

Final datasets from the helicopter-borne VTEM plus survey (time domain EM and
aeromagnetic gradiometer) and the fixed-wing radiometric survey have been
received and are currently being analyzed by Phil Robertshaw, P.Geo., for a
final detailed interpretation. Other fieldwork to date includes geological
mapping and prospecting, soil and silt sampling, and biogeochemical sampling.
Final results from the Phase 2 exploration program are still pending and will be
reported when received. Targets continue to be prioritized based on a detailed
criteria set consisting of similar geological features and exploratory
indicators present at Fission and Alpha's nearby PLS discovery.


The Phase 3 exploration program, currently underway at the Preston Lake
Property, will include ground work focused on high-priority areas identified
from the findings to date, including the radon in water anomalies. By the end of
this summer/fall field program in October, a total of approximately $1.5 million
will have been spent in exploration on the property via airborne geophysical
surveys and follow-up ground work. The goal of this summer's exploration program
is to identify uranium showings and potential drill targets through detailed
airborne geophysical surveys, silt and soil sampling, radon sampling, and
prospecting for radioactive boulder fields. The exploration methodology is
similar to that which led to the discovery of significant mineralization at PLS.


About Radon Surveys:

Radon geochemistry of lake-bottom water, sediment, and ground is a well-known
exploration tool in the Athabasca Basin of Northern Saskatchewan. Radon
distribution around a body of uranium mineralization occurs primarily due to
groundwater circulation and associated structural conduits, and develops
subsequent to the formation of a uranium deposit making it a strong indicator
for the presence of uranium mineralization. Radon anomalies coincident with
basement conductors and associated structure are primary drill targets. 


About the Western Athabasca Syndicate:

The Western Athabasca Syndicate is a strategic partnership formed between
Skyharbour, Athabasca Nuclear, Lucky Strike and Noka to explore and develop a
287,130 hectare (709,513 acre) suite of uranium properties that is the largest
land position along the highly prospective margin of the Western Athabasca Basin
controlled by a single group. Under the terms of the agreement, each of the four
companies has an option to earn 25% of the five uranium properties comprising
the Western Athabasca Syndicate Partnership by making a series of cash payments,
share payments and incurring their pro-rata amount of the total $6,000,000 in
exploration expenditures over the two-year earn-in term of the agreement. The
properties were acquired for their proximity to the PLS discovery and
interpreted favourable geology for the occurrence of PLS style uranium
mineralization. The bulk of the Syndicate land package is bisected by
all-weather Highway 955 which runs north through the PLS discovery on to the
former Cluff Lake uranium mine. 


The Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan hosts the world's largest and richest
high-grade uranium deposits which have grades substantially higher than the
world average grade of about 0.1% U3O8. The Patterson Lake area has received
escalating exploration attention and claim acquisition activity as a result of
the new, near surface discoveries made by Alpha and Fission which includes the
recently reported drill interval of 9.08% U3O8 over 54.5 metres in drill hole
PLS13-075. Consistent high-grade, near surface U3O8 assays from Alpha and
Fission demonstrate the potential for high-grade uranium mineralization on the
geologically prospective yet underexplored margins of the western side of the
Athabasca Basin.
