INVESTMENT THESIS

Fission Uranium offers investors exposure to the world’s premier uranium mining jurisdiction and what is potentially an extremely economic high grade, near-surface uranium deposit. Given limited financing in the uranium space post Fukushima and continued pressure on the uranium spot price, there are very few uranium names that will be able advance their respective assets. Fission is an outlier. We expect the Company will continue to aggressively advance it’s PLS property, defining an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource by late this year, make additional discoveries and begin engineering robust economics around PLS.

Despite the early stage of Fission we believe the Company will be well supported to continue generating consistent news flow, building resources and ultimately prove itself as the premier uranium takeout story. These milestones will all play out as the uranium supply side continues to struggle to make a profit and demand from China and Japanese re-starts continues to build. We are initiating coverage of Fission Uranium Corporation with a SPECULATIVE BUY recommendation and a target price of $2.30 per share.

HIGH GRADE, LARGE SCALE POTENTIAL Fission has identified a 3 kilometers long EM conductor at PLS. Drilling along this target has traced 1.8km of mineralization, suggesting large scale potential, in-line with several world class deposits including Phoenix, Cigar Lake & McArthur River. Fission currently has five diamond drill rigs and one reverse circulation (RC) drilling along trend to confirm the large scale potential at PLS. Fission’s winter drill program is off to a blazing start with the recently announced drill hole PLS14-129 which cut 10.5m grading 38.49% U3O8. Drill hole 129 has a grade thickness (GT) of 992.8, almost double the GT of hole PLS13-075 at 501.4, the second best drill hole to date. We expect the Company to continue generating strong drill results with roughly 45,000 metres of drilling planned for 2014. Exhibit 2: Major Deposits of the Athabasca Basin

ATHABASCA BASIN – AN ANOMALY The following table is a select list of global uranium assets and grades. The global mean grade comes in around 0.07% U3O8. We note the Athabasca basin averages closer to 2.0% U3O8, which is where we anticipate PLS will average once a resource is defined later this year, Exhibit 3.

NEAR SURFACE ADVANTAGE Drilling results suggest the PLS deposit is much closer to surface than the majority of discoveries in and around the Athabasca basin. Future work should determine that a significant portion of PLS is amenable to open pit mining, significantly reducing many of the risks associated with underground mining of higher grade uranium. Drilling to date suggests continuity of elevated grades within a lower grade (but still high grade by global standards) halo that tends to have blowouts along strike. Potential open pit scenarios would have higher strip ratios, however, we note the average uranium grade in the basin is roughly 2.0% U3O8, or roughly $1,600 per tonne (equivalent of an open pit gold mine with a plus 1oz. per tonne head grade) rock at US$35.75/lb. U3O8. Exhibit 4: PLS Cross Section R780E Zone

Most of the near surface discoveries of economic potential have been mined out, including Cluff Lake, a standalone operation located only 80 kilometers north of PLS, Exhibit 5. Based on drilling to date, we expect the grade at PLS will compare favourably to the three near-surface deposits previously mined. Exhibit 5: Depth of Major Discoveries in the Athabasca Basin

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION – THE WEST IS THE BEST

Exploration success on the eastern side of the Athabasca basin over the last 50 years had led to large scale infrastructure build out, including the construction of the McClean Lake, Rabbit Lake and Key Lake Mills. While PLS benefits from road access, government/local support and what will likely be robust economics, the western side of the basin lacks an operating mill. Cluff Lake (produced 63 million lbs. U3O8 grading 0.93% from 1980 – 2002) is a one-off example of uranium production on the western portion of the basin. Due to capital cost escalation it is tough to use Cluff Lake as a proxy, however, we compare several projects from a capital intensity stand point and expect PLS would compare extremely well against this list, Exhibit 7.

2014 EXPLORATION PROGRAM

Fission has roughly $24 million in the treasury, which will cover the Company’s 2014 winter and summer exploration programs. The winter and summer programs will consist of roughly 45,000 metres of drilling to test the lateral extent at PLS, infill drilling and minor exploration work at Forrest Lake. Results from the 45,000 metres of drilling and 2013 drilling data will generate the initial resource estimate, which we expect late in 2014. We note that drilling is challenging and targeting the system on each hole becomes increasingly tough due to the 50m of overburden and narrow target. Drilling has been limited to vertical drilling but we do expect some shallow angled holes will be drilled this summer, given the geometry of PLS the Company believes 15m and 45m spacing is required for indicated and inferred resources respectively.

HOLE PLS14-129

Previous downhole gamma results have shown a very good conversion to assay results, Exhibit 8. While not a perfect science we highlight the following results as well as PLS14-129, the best drill hole to date at PLS, which cut 10.5m grading 38.49% U3O8.

CREDITS

While FCU continues to generate stellar drill results and expand the resource footprint some things tend to go un-noticed. To date lab work continues to suggest PLS is a clean deposit with no deleterious materials, and second, anomalous grades of Au, Co & Mo are consistently encountered. Preliminary met-work is in the works and could suggest robust by-product credits could further enhance the project in the future.

MANAGEMENT BOASTS A STRONG TRACK RECORD

Fission is led by an experienced management team with extensive experience in both the Athabasca Basin and the uranium industry. Chairman & CEO, Dev Randhawa founded Strathmore Minerals Corp. in 1996, in 2007 and he spun Fission Energy Corp. out of Strathmore to focus on uranium exploration in Saskatchewan. He remained as CEO and Chairman until the company sold its Waterbury Lake discovery and a large selection of its assets to Denison Mines in 2013. Subsequently, Fission Uranium Corp. was spun out with the remaining Fission Energy assets as part of the agreement with Denison.

President, COO & Director, Ross McElroy is a professional geologist with nearly 30 years of experience in the mining industry. He has comprehensive experience working with and managing many types of mineral projects from grass roots exploration to feasibility and production. Ross has held positions with both major and junior mining companies, which include BHP Billiton, Cogema Canada (now AREVA), and Cameco. He was a member of the early stage discovery team of the MacArthur River uranium deposit. He also headed up the technical team that made the discovery at Waterbury Lake, SK and Fission Uranium Corp.´s PLS discovery.

VALUATION

We conservatively estimate Fission will define a resource of ~75 million lbs. U3O8. Based on this estimate the near-surface potential and the opportunity to define a resource grade over 20x greater than the average in our comp table (Exhibit 10) we believe FCU can easily justify trading at a valuation of US$10.00/lb. (in-line with Hathor which was taken-out post Fukushima at US$9.97/lb. U3O8). U3O8, which implies a 65-70% premium to current levels. We are initiating coverage of Fission Uranium Corp. with a SPECULATIVE BUY rating and $2.30 per share target.

PATTERSON LAKE SOUTH

The property is located on the western side of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The property comprises 17 contiguous claims totaling 31,039 ha. The property is accessible year round via the Cluff lake mine road (highway 955) that runs north-south through the property.

The western side of the basin was initially explored in the 1960’s as exploration efforts expanded from the established Beaverlodge uranium district. Exploration lead to the discovery of sandstone hosted unconformity deposits and basement hoisted unconformity deposits including Cluff Lake which produced 64.2 million lbs. U3O8 from 1980-2002. Cluff Lake was viewed as an outlier and to date no other deposits have been out into production on the western portion of the basin despite several others being delineated.

PLS is entirely covered by 50 to 100 metres of Pleistocene overburden, which is underlain by rocks of the Phanerozoic Mannville Group consisting of shale, mudstone, sandstone and coal. Drilling suggests that the Athabasca Group is not present on the Property. This unique set of circumstances (western basin and outside the Athabasca Group rocks) make the PLS discovery even more significant.

What’s more, we believe the rush to stake this entire area will lead to several other discoveries. The rush of exploration on the western portion of the basin will lead to additional discoveries; FCU should continue to move higher on its own success as well as news of further discoveries in the area.

The PLS area is approximately 500 m above sea level and covered by thinly wooded boreal forest. Vegetation consists of jack pine, black spruce and tamarack with willows and alders in the lower wet areas. The Property is in a sub-arctic climate region with temperatures ranging from -30 in the winter to 30 in the summer. Lake freezing commonly occurs in early November and ice break-up generally occurs in mid to late April. The cold temperatures allow for a sufficient ice thickness to support a drill rig generally from mid-January to mid-April.

EXPLORATION HISTORY

From 2007 to 2013 exploration consisted of mapping, glacial direction studies, extensive geophysics surveys and diamond drilling. In October 2008 a preliminary radon in soil gas survey was completed along with a radiometric and a Self-Potential (SP) geophysical survey. The radon and radiometric surveys followed up on weak to moderate radon anomalies, and the SP survey was located over selected shifts in airborne magnetics. Radon and radiometric values were generally low.

In 2009, a high resolution airborne magnetic survey was completed across PLS. The survey successfully delineated different basement lithologies. structural interpretations identified the traces of surface and basement faults, shear zones and areas of structural complexity. Concurrent radiometric surveys outlined a radiometric anomaly 3.9 km long by 1.4 km wide area.

Follow-up work in June 2011 resulted in a radioactive boulder field that contained uraniferous hotspots. Radon anomalies were found to be coincident with historical EM conductors close to the west shore of Patterson Lake. A significant 4.9 by 0.9 km high grade uranium boulder field was discovered to within 1-2 km west of Highway 955, and were found to be basement-hosted. Further work suggested the possibility of an up-ice bedrock source. A trenching program and boulder survey was carried out in October 2011 to confirm the recent glacial direction. A total of 18 trenches were excavated, and 50 uraniferous boulders were recovered. Glacial direction was confirmed to be southwest at 245°, and boulders assayed up to 31.4% U3O8.

In late 2011, a diamond drill program that comprised 838 metres in 7 drill holes was carried out. This program did not locate the bedrock source of the high grade uranium boulders discovered in June 2011. However, highly favorable geology, alteration, structure, and geochemical results were encountered in drilling.

An extensive Winter-Spring exploration program from February to April 2012 comprised of further geophysics surveys and 16 holes (2,174m) of diamond drilling. Geophysics showed favourable resistivity low anomalies with offset EM conductors. Drill holes PLS12-013 to -016 encountered favourable geology, alteration, and weak to strong radioactivity associated with anomalous uranium geochemical results. Drill hole PLS-016 returned results that included a 0.6m interval assaying 0.085% U3O8 and narrow intercepts of 0.50m, 0.50m and 0.40m grading 0.06%, 0.102% and 0.058% U3O8, respectively

The Fall 2012 program at PLS consisted of airborne radiometric and magnetic geophysical surveys over the newly staked mineral claims, boulder prospecting, ground pole-dipole array DC resistivity and small moving loop surface transient electromagnetic (SMLTEM) geophysical surveys, dual rotary and diamond drilling. wide intersections of high-grade uranium were encountered in the final four holes of the program, including discovery hole PLS12-022 that cut 8.5m grading 1.07% U3O8.

GEOLOGY

The Athabasca basin covers approximately 85,000 km2 of northern Saskatchewan and a small portion of eastern Alberta. Dating constrains the basin to roughly 1.5 billion years and interpreted to have filled over a 200 million year period in four major depositional sequences. The sediments are typically flat lying throughout the basin except near significant fault zones. Faults are generally oriented north to northeast, roughly parallel to the underlying basement geology, suggesting reactivation from major basement structures. The Athabasca Basin unconformably overlies northeast trending Archean to Paleoproterozoic basement rocks

Basement rocks that underlie the Athabasca Basin are considered to be part of the Rae and Hearne Provinces of the Precambrian Churchill Structural Province of the Canadian Shield. The Basin is divided by the large-scale northeast-southwest Snowbird Tectonic Zone, with the Rae Province to the west and the Hearne Province to the east. It is a Helikian sequence of predominantly fluvial sandstones, with minor marine transgressions. They rest unconformably on the basement rocks, and their thickness exceeds 1400 metres towards the centre of the basin. PLS lies within the northeastern limits of the Cretaceous Mannville Group which covers a large portion of Western Saskatchewan. The Lexicon of Canadian Geologic Units describes the lithology of the Mannville Group as “interbedded non-marine sands and shales overlain by a thin, non-marine calcareous member which is overlain by marine shales, glauconitic sands and nonmarine salt-and-pepper sands. The marine sequence is overlain by a paralic and non-marine sequence having a diachronous contact with the marine sequence.”

MINERALIZATION

Mineralization on the PLS property was discovered during the 2012 Fall-Winter exploration program. At this stage, little is known about the geological controls or length, width, depth and continuity of mineralization. However, the mineralization occurs at shallow depths in basement rocks and is thought to be structurally controlled. High grade mineralization with massive visible pitchblende in veins, blebs and flecks has been intersected. Sulphide mineralization with visible chalcopyrite, cobalt and molybdenum has also been encountered and anomalous gold grades are also present.

DEPOSIT TYPE

Uranium mineralization at PLS is analogous with uranium dominated poly-metallic basement unconformity associated uranium deposits. Proterozoic unconformity-associated uranium deposits host over 33 % of the world’s known uranium resources. The Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada, is renowned for its high-grade deposits and currently supplies approximately 20% of the world’s uranium. Other notable unconformity associated uranium districts occur in the Thelon Basin (Nunavut, Canada) and the Alligator River District (Northern Territory, Australia). These unconformity-associated deposits differ from the Athabasca Basin deposits in that they contain lower grade ore and are entirely basement hosted. The average grade of the top 30 deposits in the Athabasca Basin is 1.97 wt.% U3O8, four times the average grade of the Australian unconformity-associated uranium deposits (Jefferson et al., 2007).

INVESTMENT RISKS

Currency & Commodity Price Fluctuations – Fission Uranium Corp. is an exploration stage Company. There is a risk uranium prices could decline in the interim which could force the Company to delay or cancel further exploration and ultimately write-down assets to reflect a weaker price environment. Delays and or commodity price fluctuation could adversely impact the valuation of the Company.

Reserve/Resource – Resources and reserves are reported under National Instrument 43-101. The Company has yet to generate a 43-101 complaint resource estimate, at this time there is no associated risk.

Regulatory – Fission is required to obtain proper permits and licences to conduct exploration activities, develop its projects, and ultimately build a mine. It is our understanding that all of the company’s current land claims are in good standing at this time.

Country Risk - We believe Saskatchewan will continue to have a favourable view toward uranium exploration and mining, based on historic mining and exploration expenditures we believe Saskatchewan remain a favourable area to do business. We view this as a low risk. Water – after all we are in northern Saskatchewan. Despite that a substantial amount of the resource will eventually lie beneath Patterson Lake, we don’t feel this is a significant risk to development due to the shallow depth of water and proven technology (Diavik, Ekati) to deal with water in and around mining operations.
