Purepoint Initiates Maiden Drill Program at Athabasca Basin's Tabbernor Project
Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU, OTC: PTUUF) has initiated its maiden drill program at the 100%-owned Tabbernor Project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, as announced on February 24, 2025. This move follows a comprehensive investigation led by researcher Dr. Emily Harris.
The Tabbernor Project, spanning over 50,000 hectares, is strategically positioned along the northern extension of the Tabbernor Fault System. This 1,500-kilometre crustal shear system is known for controlling gold mineralization and uranium occurrences. The project aligns itself with eight of the Basin's largest uranium discoveries and crosscuts over 80 historic mines and gold occurrences.
Purepoint's current focus is a 60-kilometre graphitic corridor that cuts through the project. This corridor shows evidence of structural complexity and has gravity low responses. The company aims to test five targets distributed across two high-priority areas within this corridor through a 1,500-metre drill program. Recent drilling on an adjacent property intersected significant mineralization associated with the central Tabbernor graphitic structure, further bolstering Purepoint's confidence in the project's potential.
The Tabbernor Project, despite its structural advantages and proximity to uranium-bearing zones, has never been properly drill tested for uranium. Purepoint Uranium Group Inc., a focused explorer with a dynamic portfolio of advanced projects within the Athabasca Basin, aims to change that with its inaugural drill program. The results of this program are eagerly anticipated by the company and the industry alike.
