Production History: Uranium mining and production for 40+ years
Stable Political Climate:Pro-mining attitudes and policies on both federal and provincial government levels
Infrastructure: Easy access to power, water, roads and air
7OUR PARTNER AT PATTERSON LAKE NORTH (PLN)
- High-grade, shallow depth discovery at Patterson Lake South (PLS)
- The Fission technical team has made two major discoveries in the Athabasca Basin and will operate the exploration programs
- Ross McElroy, the company’s Chief Geologist, President and COO, has been instrumental in four of the last nine major discoveries in the Basin and is the winner of PDAC 2014 Explorer of the Year award
8PATTERSON LAKE NORTH (PLN)
- Western Athabasca Basin
- 100% Fission Uranium, staked in 2004 (27,000 ha)
- 5.7 km north of Patterson Lake South (PLS)
- Fission spent ~$4.7M on prior exploration at PLN
- Azincourt has a staged Option to earn-in up to 50% over 4 years
9NORTH PLN YEAR 1 RESULTS & YEAR 2 PLANS
VTEM Max SURVEY RESULTS
- Previously unknown 8.5 km long N-S conductor system
- Confirm NNW trending basement conductor system
IFG MT Ground Follow-up- 3 discreet conductors dipping west
YEAR 2 PLANS
- DC Resistivity Survey Underway- Generate drill targets for testing this
Fall and Winter 2015

10PLN CENTRAL & SOUTH YEAR 1 RESULTSNEW GROUND SURVEYS
Central Project Area- SMLTEM Ground Survey
- 20 km Grid- Conductor & structure- Metasediments- NW trend
Southern Project Area- SMLTEM Ground Survey
- 10.5 km over 2 lines- Sub-parallel trend to PLS
- Radon in lake water & sediment sampling of southern lakes
DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM- 2000 m in 7 holes- Conductor Targets confirmed
11A1 CONDUCTOR
- 4 holes completed to depth - Similar lithology/structure &
alteration to PLS - Remains highly prospective- Requires additional drilling
A1B CONDUCTOR
- 2 holes lost in overburden- Conductor not tested- Remains highly prospective
A3 CONDUCTOR
- 1 hole to basement- Intense basement clay/chlorite
alteration- Remains highly prospective
PLN CENTRAL AND SOUTH YEAR 1 DRILLING
12DC RESISTIVITY
- North Grid and Broach Grid on known conductor systems to generate drill targets
DRILL EXISTING & NEW TARGETS
- Test targets from previous work- A1 system to NW based on geochem- Hodge Lake B Conductor- Summer & Winter
- New target testing- North Grid in Summer & Winter- Broach Lake Grid in Winter
PLN CENTRAL AND SOUTH YEAR 2 PLANS
13PROGRAM TIMING
Summer/Fall 2014: DC Resistivity Surveys Broach and North Grids, on-going
Drilling of land-based targets this summer/fall
Winter 2014/15: Drilling of prioritized land and lake-based targets Possible EM surveys to refine and enhance targets, but minimal
$ 3 Million Year 2 commitment at PLN – primarily for drilling

Proposed Plan for Year 2:
14MACUSANI & MUÑANI PROJECT LOCATION
15AZINCOURT/MINERGIA MACUSANI PROJECTS
- >$12M spent on exploration (2006-2011) with no active exploration for last 2 years
- 5 separate deposits (NI 43-101 compliant resources updated May, 2014)
- ~32 M lbs contained U3O8 at ~300 ppm (180 ppm cutoff)
- Exploration upside for existing resource expansion and on additional targets
- Fracture-controlled and disseminated U+6 mineralization in rhyolite ignimbrite host
- Excellent leach characteristics using dilute acid (YEL/Solex and others)
16AZINCOURT MINERGIA PLANS
Macusani Project- Restart active exploration after 2 year hiatus
- Community Agreements- Environmental Permitting- Resource Expansion Drilling- Refine Untested Targets and Drilling
- Commence Macusani Processing Work- Compile & Critique historical work- Consider Leach testing improvements- Determine Potential Project Economics
Muñani Project- Volcanic & sandstone-hosted U occurrences- Restart active exploration
- Community Agreements- Target Prioritization and Refinement
17PERUVIAN CONSOLIDATION PLANS
Letter of Intent (LOI) with Macusani Yellowcake (YEL)
- YEL to acquire Minergia
- AAZ receives 68.35 M shares in YEL
- Joint Board & Management
- Emerging District with over 95 M lbs contained U3O8
- Due Diligence underway
18CONSOLIDATION of EMERGING URANIUM DISTRICT• Combined company will control one of the
largest undeveloped uranium projects in the world
• Located on the Macusani Plateau, Puno, Southern Peru: combined concessions will cover over 949 km2
• District offers exceptional exploration prospects, in addition to co-development potential
• Excellent Infrastructure:
– Readily available supply of labour, water & power
– Transport (major highway runs past properties)
– Plentiful supply of sulphuric acid
• Good government and community relations
