Mining Journal: Is there a track record of discovery within the team?
RM: I was the geologist at Macarthur River at the time of the discovery.
Our readers have nominated Fission Uranium as one of the explorers of the year. Spun out from Fission Energy after an acquisition by Denison Mines in February 2013, the company was left with land in an under-explored and unwanted part of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.
