November 7 2005 – Toronto, November 7, 2005 – Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSX-V:PTU) is pleased to confirm the closing of their private placement announced on October 21, 2005 with Blackmont Capital Inc. and CIBC World Markets as agents. The placement raised gross proceeds of $5,500,000, consisting of a total of 13,750,000 units each of one flow-through common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at $0.50 per share for a period of one year from the closing date.
“We were particularly pleased with the overwhelming retail demand for this offering,” said Chris Frostad, President & CEO, Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. “We now have a shareholder base that is more balanced between retail, institutions, and insiders.”
Gross proceeds of the offering will be spent on the company’s properties in the Canadian Athabasca Basin. This winter’s advanced program on their Turnor Lake and Red Willow projects will be one of the few drill programs to be carried out by a junior explorer in the Basin this season. In addition, this financing will allow Purepoint to advance its remaining five properties in preparation for drilling during the 2006-2007 session.
Blackmont Capital Inc. and CIBC World Markets received a cash fee of 8% of the gross proceeds raised from the offering, as well as broker’s warrants, exercisable for a period of 24 months, to purchase a number of common shares equal to 10% of the number of units issued in the offering at a price of $0.40.

Currently, Purepoint’s seven, 100 per cent owned, Athabasca Basin uranium projects cover nearly 120,000 hectares and are considered high prospect properties that include several near term targets that are drill ready for winter 2005/06.
