Fission Energy Corp: Macusani, Peru

30 enero 2012
Fission Energy Corp (TSX.V-FIS) is a Canadian based uranium exploration and development company with properties in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, Quebec, and the Macusani District in Peru.


The Macusani, property is located within southeastern Peru. Fission holds the rights to 9 claim blocks encompassing 51 km², and surface rights over some of the areas with known uranium mineralization.


Within the area, the stratigraphy is dominated by the sub-horizontal Pliocene Quenamari Formation, which is mainly composed of ignimbrite layers. 
Uranium anomalies occur on plateaus that are composed of the Upper Yapamayo Member of the Quenamari Formation. 
Sampling to date has shown that the most significant uranium anomalies appear to be restricted to this assemblage. 
Mineralization within the area is dominated by very high grade Autinite veins along 'enriched fault planes', with lesser disseminated mineralization. 
The significant fault planes can vary from _ to 2 m thick, while multiple enriched fault planes occur in shear zones up to 150 m across. Autunite contains 51% uranium by weight and converts into 60% - 65% U3O8.

Exploration of the area began in the 1970's by the Peruvian Institute of Atomic Energy ("IPEN") and continued through the 1980's and early 1990's with successful results.
