Fission Uranium Corp held stakeholder engagement meetings in January 2020 to discuss its Patterson Lake South uranium project. The meetings introduced Fission's team and principles of engagement, provided an overview of the project's development including the 2019 pre-feasibility study, and discussed next steps such as ongoing engagement and environmental assessment submissions. Fission committed to ongoing consultation, supporting local communities and businesses, and addressing stakeholder questions and concerns regarding potential socioeconomic and environmental impacts.

Technical Information
Certain of the technical information contained herein is derived from the September 23, 2019 news release entitled “Fission
Completes Prefeasibility for Underground-Only Mine at PLS: Lower CAPEX, Low OPEX, Minimized Surface Footprint” describing
results of a PFS completed on the project – a copy of which will be filed on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com
within 45 days. The PFS considers the PLS project as a stand-alone mine and mill operation, which includes development and
extraction of the R00E and R780E zones (Triple R deposit), based on a number of inputs, estimates, and results.
The technical information in this corporate presentation has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory
requirements set out in National Instrument 43- 101 and reviewed on behalf of the company by Ross McElroy, P.Geol. President and
COO for Fission Uranium Corp., a qualified person.
The Mineral Resources have an effective date of October 23, 2018 and are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.25% U3O8 based on a
long-term price of US$50 per lb U3O8 and PFS cost estimates. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability.

Fission’s Core Principles to Engagement
Core Principles
• Our Goal: To meet regularly with stakeholders/rights-holders to keep them
informed on the PLS project including any licensing/permitting plans,
timelines, and decisions and how those may potentially impact stakeholders
in the region.
• Our Promise: To engage openly, honestly, and respectfully with all
stakeholders/rights-holders and give careful thought to their cultural
traditions/practices.
• Our Commitment: To listen to all issues, concerns, and feedback and
incorporate into the project planning phases and design of the project
where possible.

PLS – Major Project Developments
• Triple R Deposit discovery 2012
• Maiden Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment
(PEA) was completed in 2015.
• Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS) in 2019
- April 2019 - 1st PFS evaluated “Open Pit / Underground Hybrid”
mining option
- September 2019 – 2nd PFS evaluated “Underground Only”
mining option
- November 2019 Underground Only PFS report completed
- “Underground Only” option results in cost and logistics savings
due to faster construction time, minimized mine footprint, and
reduces overall environmental impacts of the project.

Trade-off Between Hybrid (Open Pit/Underground) and Underground Development Options
Hybrid
Open Pit/Underground Underground Mining Only
Environment • Ring dyke, slurry wall, overburden removal and
dewatering in Patterson Lake
• Impacts on fish habitat
• Impacts of dyke on the lake and treaty-rights
holders and current resources users would be
prominent.
• Completely eliminates the need for a ring dyke,
slurry wall, dewatering, and overburden removal
• Minimized mine footprint (90% reduction)
• Minimizes the impacts on Patterson Lake and on
fish and fish habitat.
• Minimizes the potential impacts on the
downstream environment.
• Minimizes the impacts on local environment (plants
and wildlife) and construction is quicker and less
material earth works needs to be moved.
Construction • Construction timeline = 4 years • Construction timeline = 3 years
Permitting and
Regulations
• More challenging from permitting/regulatory
perspective.
• Gaining a socially license to operate could be
problematic
• Lower environmental impact and reclamation
costs; permitting and licensing is required but fairly
straightforward as similar underground operations
currently exist in the Athabasca basin.
Community
Concerns
• Community concerns with a dyke being built in
Patterson Lake were voiced.
• Heard from the communities that underground
mine was the preferred option.
