Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint" or the "Company") provided its Q2 corporate update on exploration activities across its portfolio of uranium projects in Canada's Athabasca Basin. This exploration update highlights the continued advancement of multiple high-priority targets as Purepoint executes on its 2025 exploration strategy alongside industry-leading joint venture partners.
Smart Lake Joint Venture (Cameco/Purepoint)
Field crews are currently on site, and drilling is underway at Smart Lake. The program is progressing well and consists of four holes totaling approximately 1,400 metres, targeting three discrete conductors identified during the 2024 ground EM survey of the Groomes Lake corridor.
These drill targets represent previously untested areas of strong conductivity associated with a favourable structural setting. Drilling is expected to conclude by the end of April.
Dorado Joint Venture (IsoEnergy/Purepoint)
Following the completion of the Smart Lake program, drilling is scheduled to begin at the Dorado Project in Q2 2025.
The approved program includes approximately 6,100 metres across 17 holes. Drilling will test a series of graphitic conductors that wrap around a central granitic dome, with target areas prioritized based on a consolidated geological model that now includes both the Turnor Lake and Geiger regions.
Exploration permits for Edge and Full Moon are in hand, and the Turnor Lake permit amendment has also been approved.
Aurora Joint Venture (IsoEnergy/Purepoint)
Celeste Joint Venture (IsoEnergy/Purepoint)
Denare West (Foran Mining/Purepoint)
In February, the Company reported Foran Mining's completion and interpretation of a VTEM Max airborne EM survey across the Denare West project. Located 9 kilometres southeast of Foran's McIlvenna Bay deposit, the survey identified numerous conductive anomalies consistent with the geologic horizon that hosts other known VMS deposits in the region.
Results from the airborne EM survey are now being modeled and integrated with historical datasets to prioritize drill targets. Foran continues to advance the project under a $19 million option agreement.
Tabbernor Project (100% Purepoint)
Purepoint remains committed to advancing its projects through focused exploration and community collaboration as we respond to growing demand for uranium. Further updates will be provided as work progresses.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH ) (OTCQX: SYHBF ) (Frankfurt: SC1P ) ( " Skyharbour " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that partner company Terra Clean Energy Corp. ("Terra", previously Tisdale Clean Energy) announced the completion of the winter drill program at the South Falcon East Uranium Project (the "Property") which hosts the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit. The Property lies 18 km outside the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km east of the Key Lake Uranium Mill and former mine. Skyharbour optioned the Project to Terra and under the Option Agreement assuming the 75% interest is earned, Terra will fund exploration expenditures totaling CAD $10,500,000, as well as pay Skyharbour CAD $11,100,000 in cash of which $6,500,000 can be settled for shares in the capital of Terra ("Shares") over the earn-in period.

Highlights:
Terra conducted a helicopter supported drill program at the Property with seven diamond drill holes completed for a total of 1,927m. The first three drill holes were reported in the press release dated March 10 th , 2025.
"With uranium present in six of seven holes drilled this winter, and the east and west of the property now tied together with mineralization, this was a very successful program, and we believe we have added significant value to the Property," said Greg Cameron CEO of Terra Clean Energy. "We are seeing wider intervals of mineralization up to 75 metres and more consistent spikes of higher-grade uranium with 0.16% reported in Hole SF0065. The Fraser Lakes Uranium Deposit is shallow in nature making it ideal for an open pit scenario being only 150 metres below surface and not far from a powerline and Cameco's Key Lake Uranium Mill, making it a unique opportunity, especially in a rising uranium price environment. As we continue to add pounds of uranium and higher grades, this deposit becomes more and more valuable."
Hole SF0065 was drilled to follow up the results of SF0063, reported in the March 10 th release. It was targeted to intersect the same mineralized pegmatites 60m to the northeast. The hole was completed to a depth of 282m and intersected a 75m wide zone of variably mineralized granitic pegmatites and zones within altered and graphitic pelitic gneiss. A summary of the major zones within this mineralization are shown in Table 1 with the main highlight being an equivalent grade of 0.02% eU 3 O 8 over 17.5m from 204.9m to 222.4m, including 0.16% eU 3 O 8 over 0.3m. A zone of clay alteration and bleaching was intersected from 59m to 68m. The presence of this alteration is a good indication that hydrothermal fluids suitable for deposition of higher-grade uranium deposits moved through the rocks.
2025 Drill Target Areas at the South Falcon East Uranium Project:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/2025-Drill-Target-areas-at-the-south-Falcon-East-Uranium-Project.png
Hole SF0066 was drilled to a depth of 302m, to follow the clay alteration and mineralized pegmatites to the northwest and assist in characterizing orientation of the clay alteration and associated structure. Drilling intersected a 50m interval containing multiple mineralized granitic pegmatites and zones within altered and graphitic pelitic gneiss. The most notable zone returned an equivalent grade of 0.03% eU 3 O 8 over 3.4m from 214.4m to 217.8m, including 0.1% eU 3 O 8 over 0.1m. The zone of strong clay alteration and bleaching was intersected from 57.5m to 67.5m. Based on oriented core data and intersections on three holes, this alteration package appears to be dipping to the north.
Completed Drill Holes at South Falcon East Uranium Project:
https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/2025-Completed-drill-holes-at-South-Falcon-East-Uranium-Project.png
Hole SF0067 was drilled to a depth of 302m, to extend the mineralized pegmatite package to the north and confirm the interpreted north dipping orientation of the clay alteration. Drilling intersected a 70m interval containing multiple mineralized granitic pegmatites and zones within the altered and graphitic pelitic gneiss package. This interval is noted for the larger number of higher-grade spikes at or above 0.1% eU 3 O 8 intersected compared to the previous drilling in this program. Down-hole gamma logging returned equivalent grades of 0.03% eU 3 O 8 over 4.0m from 219.8m to 223.8m, including 0.13% eU 3 O 8 over 0.2m and 0.01% eU 3 O 8 over 5.5m from 233.7m to 239.2m, including 0.06% eU 3 O 8 over 0.2m in the two widest intervals. The zone of strong clay alteration and bleaching was intersected from 66.5m to 73.5m. Drilling has now extended the deposit to the north and northeast and is still open in this direction. It is interpreted that the clay altered structural zone identified in SF0063, SF0065, SF0066 and SF067 is dipping to the north and will intersect the mineralized and hematite altered graphitic pelitic gneiss and pegmatites approximately 120m to 150m north of the current drilling. A follow-up drill program is currently being planned to test this upgraded target area for a higher-grade unconformity related basement-hosted uranium deposit and additional mineralized pegmatites where these structures and alteration all intersect.
"I'm very excited to announce we will be conducting a summer drilling program to follow up on the significant results received. We believe we have started to define a new structure on the northeast side of the Property and are hopeful a basement-hosted unconformity uranium deposit, similar to Eagle Point and Rough Rider, is present. Our strategy moving forward is to both increase the size and grade of the Fraser Lakes B deposit and to add additional discoveries to this historical resource," said Mr. Cameron.
"The results from this drilling program are very encouraging. Drilling has shown that the deposit is still open down dip to the northwest, north and northeast," commented Trevor Perkins, Vice President of Exploration for Terra. "The presence of clay alteration within a structure on the northeast side has upgraded this area. Where this clay alteration intersects the mineralized conductive package is an exciting target as this can bring together many of the key features associated with the known basement-hosted unconformity deposits in the Basin," continued Mr. Perkins.
One hole, SF0064, was completed to 239m in the T-Bone Lake area to examine the conductive package and alteration intersected in the area in historical drilling. An extensive package of graphitic metasediments was intersected in this area, characterizing the conductive package. Weak alteration was noted, however no elevated radioactivity was identified. The optimal target in the T-Bone Lake area was not intersected.

https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Table-1-Mineralized-intersections-in-final-three-holes-at-South-Falcon-East-Uranium-Project.png
Samples of the mineralized intervals within the drill core have been collected and shipped for analysis at the Geoanalytical Laboratory at the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Terra will provide more detailed results once geochemical analysis of the collected core samples is completed, reviewed and confirmed.
South Falcon East Project Summary:
The South Falcon East Project is a uranium exploration project in the southeast Athabasca Basin and covers approximately 12,464 hectares. It lies 18 km outside the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km east of the Key Lake Mine. Historical exploration at the South Falcon East Project identified an area of U-Th-REE mineralization at the Fraser Lakes Zone B over an area comprising 1.5 km by 0.5 km along an antiformal fold nose cut by an east-west dextral ductile-brittle cross-structure adjacent to a 65 km long EM conductor.
QA/QC, Radiometric Equivalent Grades and Spectrometer Readings:
All drill intervals above are downhole length and sampling procedures and QA/QC protocols for geochemical results as well as a description of downhole gamma probe grade calculations and protocols are below. All drill core samples are shipped to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories ("SRC") in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan under the care of Terra personnel for preparation, processing, and multi-element analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-OES using total (HF:NHO3:HClO4) and partial digestion (HNO3:HCl), boron by fusion, and U3O8 wt% assay by ICP-OES using higher grade standards. Assay samples are chosen based on visual inspection, downhole probing radiometric equivalent uranium grades, and scintillometer (Radiation Solutions RS-125) peaks. Assay sample intervals comprise 0.5 to 1.0 m continuous half-core split samples over the mineralized interval. These samples may also be selected for density determination using the lost wax method. With all assay samples, one half of the split sample is retained and the other sent to the SRC for analysis. SRC is an ISO/IEC 17025/2005 and Standards Council of Canada certified analytical laboratory. Blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats are inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals by Terra and SRC in accordance with Terra's quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures. Geochemical assay data are subject to verification procedures by qualified persons employed by Terra prior to disclosure.
During active exploration programs, drillholes are radiometrically logged using calibrated downhole Mount Sopris 40TGU or 2GHF probes of varying sensitivities which collect continuous readings along the length of the drillhole. Preliminary radiometric equivalent uranium grades ("eU 3 O 8 ") are then calculated from the downhole radiometric results. The probe is calibrated using an algorithm calculated from the calibration of the probe at the SRC facility in Saskatoon and from the comparison of probe results against geochemical analyses. In the case where core recovery within a mineralized intersection is poor or non-existent, radiometric grades are considered to be more representative of the mineralized intersection and may be reported in the place of assay grades. Radiometric equivalent probe results are subject to verification procedures by qualified persons employed by Terra prior to disclosure.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH ) (OTCQX: SYHBF ) (Frankfurt: SC1P ) ("Skyharbour" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that its partner company, North Shore Uranium ("North Shore"), has executed an exploration agreement with the English River First Nation ("ERFN") in Saskatchewan ("the Agreement"). The Agreement outlines a number of areas of collaboration between the ERFN and North Shore at its Falcon property ( " Falcon " or the " Property") at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan. North Shore may acquire an initial 80% interest in Falcon by issuing common shares having an aggregate value of CAD $1,225,000, making aggregate cash payments of $525,000 to Skyharbour, and incurring an aggregate of $3,550,000 in exploration expenditures on the property over the earn-in period.
Location Map of Falcon Project:
https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/maps/Sky-SouthFalconOption.jpg?v=0.1
The ERFN is a First Nation with its main reserve Wapachewunak Saskatchewan, located approximately 200 km southwest of Falcon. ERFN's ancestral territory covers approximately 75,000 km 2 of north-central Saskatchewan. Traditionally, people of the ERFN are known as the "People of the Great River", referencing the Churchill River. The ERFN prides itself on being guided by ancestral traditions and the knowledge of their Elders while being a partner with industry and governments. More information on the ERFN can be found on the ERFN's website .
To date, North Shore has identified 36 uranium targets at Falcon. These targets are associated with electromagnetic ("EM") conductor anomalies which are often upgraded by other favourable geophysical and structural features. They were selected based on the analysis and interpretation of multiple datasets by North Shore and its consultants. As reported on May 16, 2024, North Shore discovered near-surface uranium mineralization at two drill targets, P03 and P08 in an area that had never seen drilling. In a February 27, 2025, news release, North Shore stated that its near-term priority is to assess the potential for an economic uranium deposit in the southeastern portion of the property by evaluating priority near-surface EM targets in the South Priority and South Walker Areas.
Falcon is located approximately 30 km east of the active Key Lake uranium mill and former mine at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. The mill processes uranium ore from the McArthur River Mine, one of two producing uranium mines in Canada. Between 1983 and 2002, Key Lake Mine produced a total of 209.9 million lbs. of U 3 O 8 at an average grade of over 2.0%. The uranium discovery potential at Falcon is significant and includes shallow basement-hosted unconformity-style and pegmatite-hosted mineralization. The Property has seen limited modern exploration programs and there are a number of unexplained uranium occurrences.
Map Showing Falcon Exploration Targets and Priority Zones:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Map-showing-Falcon-exploration-targets-and-priority-zones-2.jpg
Mr. Brooke Clements, President and CEO of North Shore stated: " We believe that Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin is the best jurisdiction in the world for uranium exploration and development. North Shore places a priority on establishing positive relationships with communities near its activities. We are proud to establish an alliance with the English River First Nation and look forward to a long, mutually beneficial relationship."
Next Steps:
North Shore will continue prioritizing targets at Falcon in pursuit of maximizing the chances of encountering economic uranium mineralization in its next drill program. As currently planned, that drill program would initially focus on several targets in the South Priority Area of Zone 1 and the South Walker Area of Zone 2. Additional updates on North Shore's target prioritization efforts will be provided on an ongoing basis.
Falcon Uranium Project:
The Falcon Project, which constitutes part of North Shore's Falcon Property, contains eleven mineral claims comprising approximately 42,908 hectares approximately 50 km east of the Key Lake mine. Nine of the claims are from Skyharbour's original South Falcon Uranium Project and the remaining two claims are from Skyharbour's Foster River Project. Historical uranium mineralization discovered at Falcon is shallow and is hosted in several geological settings including classic Athabasca-style basement mineralization associated with well-developed EM conductors. At the EWA target, up to 0.492% U 3 O 8 and 1,300 ppm lead was encountered in outcrop grab samples (Sask. Mineral Deposits Index [SMDI] 5038). Historical grab sampling at Knob Lake (SMDI 1014) also encountered up to 0.01% U 3 O 8 in an outcrop of pegmatite, while anomalous nickel, copper, and molybdenum were found in historical grab samples from the Fraser North target area (SMDI's 1125 and 1126).
A well-defined northeast-trending, locally folded, electromagnetic conductor system runs throughout the Property, which was defined by airborne and ground geophysical surveys by JNR Resources ("JNR") in the 2000's. In 2008 JNR conducted a drill campaign at the property area. Of the 47 holes drilled that year, 28 holes (totaling 7,348 metres) were drilled on the South Falcon Uranium Property at the Walker (14 holes), Walker South (7 holes), and EWA target areas (6 holes). At the Walker and South Walker targets, which lie along the aforementioned EM conductor system, structurally disrupted and variably altered metasediments (including graphitic pelitic gneisses) with anomalous boron, copper, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, arsenic, and vanadium were encountered in several drill holes. During this same drill campaign, the Fraser Lakes Zone B uranium deposit was discovered approximately four kilometres east of the Walker South target on a refolded extension of the EM conductor system. At the EWA target, which lies along a separate northeast-trending EM conductor, anomalous uranium, boron, lead, and molybdenum were encountered in structurally disrupted pegmatites; the best result was 0.235% U 3 O 8 over 0.5 m (within a 3.5 m interval of 0.113% U 3 O 8 ) in hole WYL-08-501 (Sask. Mineral Assessment File 74H02-0045).
Furthermore, in 2022, Skyharbour completed a FALCON® airborne gravity gradiometer and magnetic survey over nine of the eleven claims at the Falcon Property. This new geophysical data will assist North Shore in prioritizing areas along the EM conductor system for drilling. Over 30 kilometres of the EM conductor system remains untested on the Falcon Property. North Shore's initial focus will be on the two claims formerly part of the Foster Project (geophysics), and on generating drill targets on three claims at the southeastern end of the EM conductor systems including Knob Lake, which shows similarities to the Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit approximately 6 km to the northeast and several other high-priority targets elsewhere along the main EM conductor system.
Significant potential exists on the project for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium deposits like those further to the north in the Wollaston Domain (i.e. Eagle Point, Rabbit Lake, Key Lake and others), as well as for pegmatite/granite-hosted (i.e. alaskite-type) U-Th-REE mineralization like at the Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit on Skyharbour's adjacent South Falcon East Property, currently under option to Tisdale Clean Energy.
The Option Agreement:
North Shore may acquire an initial 80% interest in the Property by issuing common shares of the Resulting Issuer ("Shares") having an aggregate value of CAD $1,225,000; making aggregate cash payments of CAD $525,000; and incurring an aggregate of CAD $3,550,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property over a three-year period. Once North Shore has earned an initial 80% interest in the Property, North Shore may acquire the remaining 20% interest in the Property within 90 business days by issuing Shares having a value of CAD $5,000,000, and making a cash payment of CAD $5,000,000 to Skyharbour. If North Shore does not elect to acquire the remaining 20% interest, a joint venture will be formed with Skyharbour holding a 20% participating interest.
North Shore will be the operator of the exploration programs during the earn-in stage and for the joint venture if formed. Two claims totaling 10,673 hectares that form part of Skyharbour's Foster River Property are subject to a one percent (1%) NSR royalty payable to Skyharbour. The remaining nine claims totaling 32,235 hectares that comprise Skyharbour's South Falcon Point Property are subject to a two percent (2%) NSR royalty payable to Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison") with North Shore having the right to purchase one percent of the royalty from Denison at anytime by paying $1 million.

About North Shore Uranium Ltd:
North Shore is a mineral exploration company focused on uranium exploration at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin through its Falcon property which will increase from 12,800 to 55,700 hectares with the addition of the claims subject to the Agreement, and the West Bear property located 90 kilometres to the northeast.
About Skyharbour Resources Ltd.:
Skyharbour holds an extensive portfolio of uranium exploration projects in Canada's Athabasca Basin and is well positioned to benefit from improving uranium market fundamentals with interest in thirty-six projects covering over 614,000 hectares (over 1.5 million acres) of land. Skyharbour has acquired from Denison Mines, a large strategic shareholder of the Company, a 100% interest in the Moore Uranium Project, which is located 15 kilometres east of Denison's Wheeler River project and 39 kilometres south of Cameco's McArthur River uranium mine. Moore is an advanced-stage uranium exploration property with high-grade uranium mineralization in several zones at the Maverick Corridor. Adjacent to the Moore Project is the Russell Lake Uranium Project, in which Skyharbour is operator with joint-venture partner RTEC. The project hosts widespread uranium mineralization in drill intercepts over a large property area with exploration upside potential. The Company is actively advancing these projects through exploration and drilling programs.
Skyharbour also has joint ventures with industry leader Orano Canada Inc., Azincourt Energy, and Thunderbird Resources at the Preston, East Preston, and Hook Lake Projects, respectively. The Company also has several active earn-in option partners, including CSE-listed Basin Uranium Corp. at the Mann Lake Uranium Project; TSX-V listed North Shore Uranium at the Falcon Project; UraEx Resources at the South Dufferin and Bolt Projects; Hatchet Uranium at the Highway Project; CSE-listed Mustang Energy at the 914W Project; and TSX-V listed Terra Clean Energy at the South Falcon East Project. In aggregate, Skyharbour has now signed earn-in option agreements with partners that total to over $36 million in partner-funded exploration expenditures, over $20 million worth of shares being issued, and $14 million in cash payments coming into Skyharbour, assuming that these partner companies complete their entire earn-ins at the respective projects.
Skyharbour's goal is to maximize shareholder value through new mineral discoveries, committed long-term partnerships, and the advancement of exploration projects in geopolitically favourable jurisdictions.

Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN | OTC: GURFF | FRA: Q3J) (the " Company " or " Global ") and Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSX.V: FMC; OTCQB: FDCFF) (" Forum ") are pleased to announce that it has commenced its diamond drilling program, as well as ground geophysical surveys on the Northwest Athabasca (NWA) Project, located along the northwest shore of Lake Athabasca in Saskatchewan, Canada (Figure 1). Drilling will be focusing on the Zone 2A and Andy grid areas and SJ Geophysics will be conducting ground Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) and Direct Current Induced Polarization (DCIP) surveys over the Spring Bay grid (Figure 2).
Camp construction began in middle February and is now completed. Ongoing work with the local communities and First Nations will continue to be an important focus of the project as we move forward. Forum Energy Metals is the Operator of the Northwest Athabasca Project.
"The integration of historical geophysical datasets and legacy drill results gives us an advantage in identifying areas of high potential," stated Ungad Chadda, CEO of Global Uranium. "We are pleased that the Forum exploration team's knowledge and experience in Saskatchewan unconformity-style uranium deposits will shape the refined targeting strategy at the NWA Project, positioning us to unlock the site's full value potential."
Rick Mazur, CEO of Forum Energy Metals stated, "I am particularly proud of the Forum logistics team, the Athabasca Denesuline contractors and all contractors that have worked tirelessly for the last month to get a camp built and drill and supplies to site, since the ice road was constructed to Uranium City. Forum's geological team can now test the exceptional potential of the project."
Camp Construction, Ground Geophysics and Diamond Drilling
Camp construction is completed and is ready to support the upcoming exploration program. Supplies were brought into site largely by fixed wing aircraft using skis. A temporary ice road from Uranium City has been completed and additional fuel as well as the diamond drill and supplies were hauled to site. The drill program began on March 19 with Team Drilling as Forum's drill contractor. The objective of the diamond drilling program is to test the Andy and Zone 2A trends and if time and weather allows testing additional high-priority targets at Gomer and Spring Bay (Figure 2). SJ Geophysics began the ground geophysical program at the Spring Bay Grid on March 2 and the survey is projected to take approximately 3-4 weeks.
