Purepoint Commences First-Pass Drilling at District-Scale Tabbernor Project
Purepoint Uranium (OTCQB: PTUUF) has initiated its first drill program at the 100%-owned Tabbernor Project near Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The 1,500-metre program will test five drill targets across a 60-kilometre-long corridor of graphitic conductors.
The project, spanning over 51,670 hectares, is strategically located along the Tabbernor Fault System, a 1,500-kilometre crustal shear system. The company has conducted extensive exploration work including airborne VTEM, MobileMT, gravity surveys, and structural mapping to identify promising targets. The area, despite its proximity to uranium-bearing zones and structural advantages, has remained largely unexplored for uranium deposits.
Purepoint Uranium (OTCQB: PTUUF) ha avviato il suo primo programma di trivellazione nel progetto Tabbernor, al 100% di proprietà, vicino al bacino Athabasca in Saskatchewan. Il programma di 1.500 metri testerà cinque obiettivi di trivellazione lungo un corridor di 60 chilometri di conduttori grafitici.
Il progetto, che si estende su 51.670 ettari, è strategicamente situato lungo il Tabbernor Fault System, un sistema di falda crustale lungo 1.500 chilometri. La società ha condotto estesi lavori di esplorazione, tra cui VTEM aerea, MobileMT, rilievi gravimetrico e mappature strutturali per identificare obiettivi promettenti. L'area, nonostante la vicinanza a zone ricche di uranio e i vantaggi strutturali, è rimasta in gran parte inesplorata per giacimenti di uranio.

Purepoint Uranium (OTCQB: PTUUF) hat sein erstes Bohrprogramm im zu 100 % im Eigentum befindlichen Tabbernor-Projekt in der Nähe des Athabasca-Beckens in Saskatchewan gestartet. Das 1.500-Meter-Programm wird fünf Bohrziele in einem 60 Kilometer langen Korridor grafitischer Leitströme testen.
Das Projekt erstreckt sich über 51.670 Hektar und liegt strategisch entlang des Tabbernor Fault System, eines 1.500 Kilometer langen Krustenscherverfahrens. Das Unternehmen hat umfangreiche Erkundungsarbeiten wie Flug VTEM, MobileMT, Gravimetrie und Strukturkartierung durchgeführt, um vielversprechende Ziele zu identifizieren. Das Gebiet, trotz der Nähe zu Uran führenden Zonen und struktureller Vorteile, blieb für Uranlagerstätten weitgehend unerforscht.
Purepoint Uranium (OTCQB: PTUUF) قد بدأ برنامجه الأول للحفر في مشروع Tabbernor المملوك بنسبة 100% بالقرب من حوض أثابسكا في ساسكاتشوان. البرنامج بطول 1,500 متر سيختبر خمسة أهداف حفر على طول ممر بطول 60 كيلومتراً من الموصلات الجرافيتية.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 30, 2025) - Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint" or the "Company") today announced the launch of its inaugural drill program at the
"Tabbernor hosts a highly underexplored structural corridor in the Basin district with scale, structure, and proximity to known mineralization," said Chris Frostad, President and CEO of Purepoint. "We've spent the past two years systematically preparing to test this largely untouched corridor, and this program marks our first step in defining its potential. Our goal is to prioritize areas for more focused drilling in the years ahead."
Highlights
District-scale structural/electromagnetic corridor: Approximately 100 km of electromagnetic (EM)conductors, known to be locally graphitic, have been mapped within the project through extensive airborne and ground geophysics.
Five targets to be tested across a 1,500-metre program—spanning multiple structural domains.
First-pass drilling conducted on the project, now supported by airborne VTEM, MobileMT, gravity, and soil geochemical anomalies.
Strong uranium pathfinders identified by Purepoint in soil sampling along the same structural corridors as nearby mineralized intercepts.
The Tabbernor Project spans more than 50,000 hectares and is positioned along the northern extension of the Tabbernor Fault System—an extensive crustal break known to control gold mineralization to the south and uranium occurrences in the Basin. Despite the project's structural advantages and proximity to uranium-bearing zones, the area has never been properly drill tested for uranium.
Over the past four years, Purepoint has advanced the project through comprehensive exploration programs, including airborne VTEM, MobileMT and gravity surveys, and structural mapping. These efforts identified an extensive stretch of graphitic conductors with coincident gravity and magnetic lows—key markers for alteration halos that can be associated with uranium deposits.

Tabbernor Project
The
The Tabbernor project is roughly 40 kilometres south of Cameco's Eagle Point deposit and is comprised of 23 contiguous mineral claims covering an area of 51,670 hectares. The original three north-south claim groups that covered Tabbernor structures have now been expanded to include a strong east-northeast trending corridor of conductive rocks further enhancing the project's exploration potential.
Purepoint's current focus is the 60-kilometre graphitic corridor that cuts through the project, specifically, areas with gravity low responses and showing evidence of structural complexity. Notably, recent drilling on an adjacent property intersected significant mineralization associated with the central Tabbernor graphitic structure (see CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. press release, September 27, 2023).
Tabbernor Fault System
The Tabbernor Fault System (TFS) is a wide, >1,500 kilometre geophysical, topographic, and geological structural zone that trends approximately northward along Saskatchewan's eastern boundary. Purepoint's research has shown that although none of the province's currently known uranium deposits have been linked to the north-south trending TFS, localized shear zones hosting uranium mineralization may have an associated north-south structural component.
Reactivation of the TFS may have coincided with the age of formation of large uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin (Davies, 1998). Davies also concluded that structural similarities between the TFS and mineralized areas suggest that the fault system may have had a control on the location of mineralization. More specifically, he considered that several deposits, such as the Sue, Midwest, Dawn Lake and Rabbit Lake all demonstrate a north-south control and strong Tabbernor-like characteristics.
