Purepoint Completes First Pass Drilling at Tabbernor Project
Purepoint Completes First Pass Drilling at
Tabbernor Project
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2025) - Purepoint Uranium Group Inc.
(TSXV: PTU)
(OTCQB: PTUUF)
("Purepoint"
or the
"Company"
) today announced the completion of its inaugural
drill program at the 100%-owned Tabbernor Project, located on the southeastern edge of
Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The program consisted of five first-pass diamond drill holes,
targeting a 60-kilometre-long corridor of graphitic conductors defined through two years of detailed
airborne geophysical surveys.
"This drill program provided our first look beneath surface at Tabbernor and delivered the technical
insights we were aiming for," said Chris Frostad, President and CEO of Purepoint. "Every hole
intersected graphite, and we encountered the types of structural, and alteration features we typically
associate with uranium mineralization. That gives us a meaningful geological foundation as we begin to
prioritize where and how to drill next."
Highlights
1,741 metres of diamond drilling completed across five holes.
All five holes intersected graphite, validating our recent airborne electromagnetic (EM) signatures.
Four of five holes intersected zones of structural disruption:
Shearing observed in TB25-02, TB25-03, SMP25-01 and SMP25-02.
Brecciation recorded in TB25-02, TB25-03 and SMP25-02.
Silicification identified in TB25-01, TB25-02 and SMP25-02.
Assay results for all holes are pending.
The five drill targets were distributed across the broader Tabbernor conductive corridor and designed to
provide a representative geological cross-section of the system's various structural domains. The drill
results will allow Purepoint to further refine its understanding of the underlying geology, confirm the
location and character of graphitic horizons, and evaluate zones of structural complexity for follow-up.
The Tabbernor Project spans more than 50,000 hectares and is positioned along the northern extension
of the Tabbernor Fault System-a major crustal structure that aligns with numerous uranium occurrences
throughout the Basin. Despite this regional potential, the area has seen little to no systematic drill testing
for uranium until now.
Purepoint intends to incorporate the results of the current drill program into its ongoing regional
interpretation work, with the goal of prioritizing follow-up targets for more detailed evaluation.

Tabbernor Project
The 100%-owned Tabbernor Project is strategically positioned along three major trends of the
Tabbernor Fault System, a deep seated, 1,500-kilometre crustal shear system that runs north through the
Athabasca Basin. The system not only hosts over 80 historic mines and gold occurrences but also
crosscuts the Basin's mine trend aligning itself with 8 of the Basin's largest uranium discoveries.
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.
