Fission Uranium, headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia, is the proprietor and developer of the PLS uranium project.

The proposed high-grade mine and mill is situated in the renowned Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada, known for its significant uranium deposits.

Last year in April, Fission Uranium applied for a licence with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for construction of a uranium mine and milling facility at its PLS project.

Fission Uranium president and CEO Ross McElroy said: “I am very pleased to confirm that the construction licence application for the PLS project has been submitted.”
