Fission Retains Key Ground Near Roughrider Zone


KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 16, 2008) - Fission Energy
Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FIS) (the "Company" and "Fission") and its joint venture
partners of the KEPCO Consortium are pleased to announce that the Saskatchewan
Ministry of Energy and Resources has upheld Fission's assertion that no
fractional lands exist on previously staked Fission property north of Hathor's
recently discovered Roughrider Zone. The Roughrider Zone is located within a
small bay (Discovery Bay) of McMahon Lakes.

Based on the April 15, 2008 report prepared by the Ministry of Energy and
Resources, a map has been posted to the Company's website that shows the
following salient features within the vicinity of Discovery Bay:

- The location of pertinent claim boundaries as determined by Company
representatives (where the boundary in question has been relayed by the
Ministry of Energy and Resources),

- the location of key geographic features, and

- the location of the Roughrider Zone as provided by Hathor on April 3, 2008.

The boundary locations identified by the Company correspond to within a few
meters of those provided by the Ministry of Energy and Resources. Also, the
Company wishes to note that the common claim boundary within Discovery Bay, is
not as shown by Hathor on April 3, 2008. Please refer to the Company's website
for a representation of Fissions position for the location of the claim
boundary.

Although, the Ministry of Energy and Resources has denied a small fractional
claim staked by the Company to cover open lands that exist southwest of the
peninsula in Discovery Bay; it was confirmed by the Ministry that no
fractional lands exist to the north of the Roughrider Zone. The fraction,
which is about one-third of the size of the original fraction staked by
Hathor, is significantly different than the one depicted by Hathor on April 3,
2008. The Ministry noted that Hathor's fraction overlaps Fission's
pre-existing mineral tenures and will only be granted to Hathor once
deficiencies are corrected.
