PURECORE COMMENCES DATA COMPILATION AND TARGET GENERATION AT YURCHISON URANIUM PROPERTY
Purecore is consolidating decades of geological and geophysical data at Yurchison to rank uranium exploration targets for potential follow-up work.
Rhea-AI Summary
Purecore Metals (PPURF) has begun a comprehensive data compilation and technical review program at the Yurchison Uranium Property in northern Saskatchewan.
The company holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest in Yurchison from Skyharbour Resources. The 22-claim property covers about 35,029 hectares and lies roughly 75 kilometres south of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake operation. Work will integrate historical and modern geological, geochemical, geophysical and drilling data into a single project database to refine areas of interest and prioritize targets for potential future field exploration. Historical work includes a 1,424 line‑kilometre high‑resolution airborne magnetic survey and uranium values ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% U₃O₈.

The program is intended to consolidate historical and modern geological, geochemical, geophysical and exploration information into an integrated project database and geological framework. The resulting dataset will be used to refine areas of interest, identify where multiple layers of technical evidence converge and prioritize targets for potential future field exploration.
Peter Berdusco, President and Chief Executive Officer of Purecore, commented:
"Yurchison has decades of exploration history and a significant volume of modern geophysical data. This program brings that information together into an integrated geological framework to refine our understanding of the Property and prioritize areas for future exploration."
Data Compilation and Target Generation
Yurchison has been subject to historical airborne and ground geophysical surveys, geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling and historical drilling. Much of the earlier exploration was completed prior to 2000, with additional modern airborne geophysical work completed in recent years.
The current program is expected to include:
- compilation and digitization of available historical geological, geochemical, geophysical and drilling information;
- integration and interpretation of historical and modern airborne geophysical datasets;
- review of historical uranium occurrences, prospecting results and previous exploration targets;
- assessment of structural and geological controls that may be relevant to uranium mineralization;
- comparison of geophysical conductors, structural features, geochemical anomalies and historical exploration results; and
- ranking of priority areas for potential follow-up exploration.
Previous work at Yurchison includes a 1,424 line-kilometre high-resolution airborne magnetic survey completed at 50-metre line spacing, as well as earlier VTEM work that identified multiple geophysical zones of interest. Additional airborne magnetic, radiometric and VLF-EM surveys have also been completed across the Property.
Historical exploration at Yurchison identified uranium mineralization in several areas of the Property, including prospecting near historical trenches that returned values ranging from

The majority of historical exploration was completed prior to 2000, and significant portions of the Property have received limited modern follow-up. Purecore intends to use the current compilation and interpretation program to establish a stronger technical foundation for future exploration planning.
