Toronto, Ontario, July 15, 2020 – Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (“Purepoint” or the “Company”) announced results of its Annual General Meeting held in Toronto, ON, on July 14, 2020, and provided an update on its corporate activities.

 

At the AGM, shareholders voted in favor of all matters of business. These matters included the elections of Allan Beach, Borys Chabursky, Chris Frostad and Scott Frostad as Directors, the appointment of MNP LLC as Auditors and the approval of the Incentive Stock Option Plan.

 

The Company is currently planning for its next drill program at its flagship Hook Lake Project, a joint venture between Cameco Corporation (39.5%), Orano Canada Inc. (39.5%), and Purepoint (21%) in the Patterson Uranium District, Saskatchewan, Canada.

 

The work to date at the Hook Lake Project as well as the collective discoveries and next steps are detailed in a series of short videos which can be accessed at the links below:

 

 

 

 

Hook Lake JV Project

 

The Hook Lake JV Project is owned jointly by Cameco Corp. (39.5%), Orano Canada Inc. (39.5%), and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (21%) as operator and consists of nine claims totaling 28,598 hectares situated in the southwestern Athabasca Basin. The Hook Lake JV Project is considered one of the highest quality uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin due to its location along the prospective Patterson Lake trend and the relatively shallow depth to the unconformity.

 

Current exploration is targeting the Patterson Lake Corridor that hosts Fission’s Triple R Deposit (indicated mineral resource 87,760,000 lbs. U3O8 at an average grade of 1.82% U3O8 – www.fissionuranium.com), NexGen Energy’s Arrow Deposit (indicated mineral resource 256,600,000 lbs. U3O8  at an average grade of 4.03% – www.nexgenenergy.ca) and the Spitfire discovery by the Hook Lake JV. The foregoing mineral resource disclosure is information about the properties adjacent to the Company’s property and does not imply that the Company will obtain similar information from its own property.
