Purepoint Completes Initial Drill Program Along Groomes Lake Conductive Corridor at Smart Lake JV

Purepoint Completes Initial Drill Program Along Groomes Lake Conductive Corridor at Smart Lake JV

Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint" or the "Company") today reported the completion of its initial drill program at the Smart Lake Joint Venture in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The first-pass program, which included 1,264 metres of diamond drilling across three holes, was conducted to test newly identified electromagnetic (EM) conductors along the Groomes Lake Conductive Corridor. The drill program provided a critical step in defining high-priority uranium exploration targets associated with the Groomes Lake conductive features.

The Smart Lake Project is a joint venture between Cameco Corporation (73%) and Purepoint (27%) and is located approximately 60 km south of the former Cluff Lake uranium mine and 18 km west-northwest of Purepoint's Hook Lake JV project.

Highlights

  • 1,264 metres of drilling completed in three holes across all three Groomes Lake EM conductors
  • Geological evidence suggests the Groomes Lake Corridor is a component of the regional-scale Beatty River Fault (Figure 2)
  • All three drill holes intersected graphitic shear zones and complex structural features
  • The central EM conductor hosts the strongest structural deformation, possibly representing a critical fluid pathway for uranium mobilization and precipitation
  • The top priority Groomes Lake exploration target is the Central EM conductor where it intersects the unconformity

"The drill program was designed to give us a first look into a geologically complex and previously untested portion of the Smart Lake JV project," said Scott Frostad, VP Exploration at Purepoint. "With last year's ground EM survey results and our current drilling, we've made meaningful progress in understanding the project's geologic setting as we continue to advance exploration."

Program Summary and Outcomes

The 2025 Smart Lake JV uranium exploration program marked the first pass drill test of the Groomes Lake Corridor. Drill hole SMT25-13 intersected multiple graphitic shear zones and structural complexities, particularly along the central EM conductor, which appears to be the primary structural feature. Drill and geophysical results indicate the northern portion of the Smart Lake project contains a NE-trending structural zone that is different from the NNW-trending structures that were previously drill-tested to the south.

Following completion of the Groomes Lake drill program, the joint venture's technical and management committees reviewed these initial results. Although uranium mineralization was not intersected in the three 2025 holes, the evidence of strong shear zone development along the Central EM conductor suggests it may have influenced the flow of uranium-bearing hydrothermal fluids. Testing of the Groomes Lake Central EM conductor at the unconformity is now considered a top priority exploration target at Smart Lake.

Next Steps

The joint venture is currently reviewing potential follow-up strategies, including additional ground fixed-loop EM surveying within the central portion of the project covering the NNW-trending airborne EM conductors. Potential follow-up drilling would include the Groomes Lake unconformity target, the new geophysical grid and select historic ground EM results.

Broader Exploration Outlook

Smart Lake is one of several high-priority projects Purepoint is advancing in the Athabasca Basin. The Company's 50/50 Joint Venture with IsoEnergy is currently preparing for a 5,400-metre drill program at the Dorado Project, located along the Larocque Trend and adjacent to the high-grade Hurricane Deposit. Through strategic partnerships and a disciplined exploration approach, Purepoint continues to position itself for discovery in one of the world's most prolific uranium districts.

About Smart Lake

The Smart Lake Project is located approximately 60 km south of the former Cluff Lake mine site and 18 km west-northwest of the Hook Lake JV Project (Figure 2). The property spans 9,860 hectares within the Athabasca Basin, an area renowned for hosting the world's highest-grade uranium deposits.

Initial exploration at Smart Lake established the presence of graphitic shear zones, hydrothermal alteration, and anomalous radioactivity. The favourable geological indicators, combined with its strategic location and extensive geophysical data, position Smart Lake for uranium exploration success.

Purepoint Mobilizing for Summer Uranium Drill Program at Dorado Project - Eastern Athabasca Basin

Purepoint Mobilizing for Summer Uranium Drill Program at Dorado Project - Eastern Athabasca Basin

Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that mobilization is underway for the upcoming summer uranium drill program at its Dorado Project, part of the Purepoint-IsoEnergy Joint Venture in Saskatchewan's eastern Athabasca Basin. Drilling is scheduled to commence on or about May 26, 2025.

The Dorado Project covers over 150 kilometres of discreet electromagnetic (EM) conductors that lie within the Dorado Graphitic Domain-a structurally controlled package of conductive, graphite-rich rocks (Figure 1). The Dorado Domain encompasses the northeastern extension of the Larocque Trend, a highly prospective structural corridor that hosts multiple high-grade uranium deposits and occurrences, including IsoEnergy's Hurricane Deposit-recognized as the world's highest-grade published indicated uranium resource, with 48.6 million pounds at 34.5% U₃O₈ (https://www.isoenergy.ca/featured-project/). At Dorado, these graphitic rocks bifurcate and wrap around a granitic dome that is considered an important component in the original plumbing system that once directed the flow of uranium-bearing hydrothermal fluids.

Stallion Uranium Refines Coyote Target with Highly Conductive Anomalies from Ground EM Survey

Stallion Uranium Refines Coyote Target with Highly Conductive Anomalies from Ground EM Survey

 

Stallion Uranium Corp. (the " Company " or " Stallion ") ( TSX-V: STUD ; OTCQB: STLNF ; FSE: FE0 ) is pleased to announce the results from a Stepwise Moving Loop, Time Domain Electromagnetic (" SWML-TDEM ") survey completed over the high-priority Coyote Target on its Moonlite Project (Figure 1). The Coyote Target, located within the Southwestern Athabasca Basin spans claims held in partnership with Atha Energy Corp. (" Atha Energy ") ( TSX-V: SASK ) as well as claims that are 100% owned by Stallion Uranium.

 

  "These results confirm the presence of strong basement conductors beneath the Athabasca Basin sandstone, with characteristics consistent with major uranium discoveries," said Darren Slugoski, VP Exploration for Stallion Uranium. "Conductor - Coyote_14.25S, in particular, stands out as a high-priority drill target, supported by both strong geophysical response and a coincident gravity low; suggesting possible uranium alteration."
