Purepoint Uranium Group Inc (TSX-V:PTU, OTCQX:PTUUF, FRA:P5X0) said on Thursday it has improved its uranium exploration targeting across multiple projects in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin using an integrated geophysical program that combines airborne MobileMT surveys with advanced 3D structural modelling.
The Canadian explorer said the work covered its Celeste East, Russell South and Tabbernor projects and has enhanced its ability to identify and rank subsurface structures prospective for uranium mineralization.
The company plans to expand the program to its Dorado and Henday Lake projects later this month, ahead of a scheduled drill campaign in June 2026.
“The airborne passive EM results are changing how we understand and target uranium systems across our portfolio,” said Scott Frostad, vice president of exploration at Purepoint.
At Celeste East, the modelling revealed that a previously identified east-west conductor forms part of a broader folded conductive system, including hinge zones that are considered favourable for uranium deposition in Athabasca Basin settings. Such structures can create pathways for hydrothermal fluids, a key factor in uranium mineralization.
Purepoint said the refined 3D geological framework will help guide drilling and improve interpretation of future results.
The Celeste East property is part of the Celeste Block project, a joint venture with IsoEnergy.
At its wholly owned Russell South project, the company said MobileMT technology enabled it to detect basement conductive features that had been obscured by shallow conductive layers in earlier surveys. The resulting 3D models identified previously unrecognized structures and generated new drill targets.
Meanwhile, at Tabbernor, which spans a large land package along a major structural corridor, the integrated data has allowed the company to prioritize conductive trends for follow-up exploration.
“The 3D structural modelling gives us a much clearer picture of where uranium is most likely to occur and how to target mineralization more effectively,” Frostad added.
The next phase of work will focus on the Dorado project, where the company aims to build a similar 3D structural model around the Nova discovery and other identified targets. Integrating the new geophysical data with existing drill results is expected to further refine targeting ahead of the upcoming drill program.
