Fission 3.0 Corp. and Traction Exploration Enter into Lois ON Athabasca Properties
FISSION 3.0 CORP. AND TRACTION EXPLORATION ENTER INTO LOIS ON ATHABASCA PROPERTIES
November 1, 2021 – Vancouver, B.C. – Fission Uranium 3.0 (“Fission 3.0 Corp” or the “ Optionor”) and
Traction Exploration Inc. (CSE: TRAC) (“Traction”) are pleased to announce that they have entered into
two Letters of Intent respecting options whereby Traction may acquire up to a 70% interest in two
properties located in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin region (the “Properties”): the Hearty Bay Project,
comprised of 6 mineral claims covering approximately 10,604 hectares (the “ Hearty Bay Project”), and
the Lazy Edward Project, comprised of 11 mineral claims covering approximately 1,828 hectares (the “Lazy
Edward Project”).
The Hearty Bay property surr ounds the historic Isle Brochet radioactive boulder trains.
Boulder prospecting by Fission 3 on Isle Brochet in 2019 led to the discovery of 45 radioactive boulders
with assay values up to 8.23% U3O8 with over 24% of them returning assay values of >1% U3O8. A marine
seismic survey completed in the up -ice direction to the northeast was interpreted to indicate multiple
basement structural and lithological features which have defined drill targets. The objective of further
exploration on the property is to discover the source of the uraniferous boulder field.
The Lazy Edward Project is located in the south -eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, between the
historic Key Lake Mine and Cameco Corporation’s Centennial deposit. The Lazy Edward Project has been
identified to have potential for unconformity-type, high-grade uranium deposits typical of the Athabasca
Basin. Further, as the Lazy Edward Project is near the edge of the basin, the depth of the drill targets at
Lazy Edward Bay are shallow, giving t he advantage of relatively inexpensive exploration. Historic drilling
in the late 1980’s identified very prospective geology with intersections of strong bleaching, limonitization
and strong fracturing in the lower sandstone above strongly altered, brecciated and sheared graphitic
basement rocks with up to 170ppm uranium. These are a number of the attributes required to host high-
grade uranium deposits, and Fission 3 has concluded that follow up drilling is highly warranted.
Terms of the Letters of Intent
The Letter of Intent in respect of the Hearty Bay Project (the “ Hearty Bay LOI”) contemplates an option
for Traction to acquire a 50% interest in the Hearty Bay Project through cash payments to the Optionor of
an aggregate of C$650,000 (C$100,000 of which has been paid by Traction in connection with the
execution of the Hearty Bay LOI) , the issuance to the Optionor of an aggregate of 2,249,471 common
shares, and completion of $3,000,000 in exploration work on the Hearty Bay Property, all spread out over
two years. The Optionor would retain a 2.0% NSR. Pursuant to the terms of the Hearty Bay LOI, Traction
would have the option to increase its interest in the Hearty Bay Project to 70% by making additional cash
payments totalling $350,000, and completing an additional $3,000,000 in exploration work on the Hearty
Bay Property , on or before the date that is three years followin g the date of the defin itive option
agreement.

Dev Randhawa, CEO of Fission, commented, “F3 is an asset rich company having acquired 14 uranium
projects via staking in the bear markets. Working with strong groups like Traction, we can unlock hidden
value within our company. Further, F3 is also rich in human talent having retained its technical team that
made the Triple R and the Waterbury discovery (which was sold to Denison Mines). The Athabasca is the
Saudi Arabia of uranium as many have said but few people understand the basin, let alone make two
major discoveries. Through these two LOI’s, Fission 3 receives cash (600k), work commitments of $2.5 mill
over the next year and 15% ownership of our partner.”
Michael Malana, CEO of Traction , commented, “We are very excited to not only work with F3 and their
outstanding team, but also to have an opportunity to acquire majority stakes in two attractive properties
in the Athabasca Basin region, home to some of the world’s largest uranium mining operations. 2021 has
been a very strong year for uranium and we are confident that our commitment to high quality projects
in this space will be in the best interest of our stakeholders.”
