Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. Completes Technical Report for Red Willow Project
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 09/17/15 -- Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. ("Purepoint") (TSX VENTURE: PTU) reported today that it has completed a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on its 100% owned, 35,000 hectare Red Willow project on the north-eastern edge of Saskatchewan''s Athabasca Basin.
"Earlier this decade, as the sector started to languish, we began performing only minimal work on our 100% owned eastern projects in order to build on the momentum of discoveries around the Patterson Lake area" said Chris Frostad, President and CEO at Purepoint. "Recent information requests have prompted us to create a current and complete compilation, interpretation and evaluation of our highly-prospective exploration portfolio".
Six major uranium deposits, JEB, Midwest, Roughrider, Cigar Lake, McArthur River and Millennium, are located along a NE to SW mine trend that extends through the Red Willow Project. The property adjoins AREVA Resource Canada Inc.''s claim group that contains the JEB, Sue, McClean and Caribou uranium deposits to the west and, to the south adjoins UEX''s Hidden Bay property that surrounds Cameco Corporation''s Rabbit Lake, Collins Bay and Eagle Point uranium deposits.
"After 2008 we were fortunate enough to add to our existing eastern portfolio as valuable claims came available," said Scott Frostad, Vice President Exploration for Purepoint. "Through the combination and reconciliation of significant volumes of data, in addition to the application of recent geologic models and newer interpretation tools, we believe our eastern projects hold some of the most attractive prospects in the region".
Red Willow Highlights:
The larger, newly configured Red Willow project hosts numerous drill-ready targets which Purepoint has outlined in detail through years of geophysical surveys and first pass drilling including:
Red Willow Project
The Red Willow property is situated on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada and consists of 12 mineral claims having a total area of 35,608 hectares. The property is located close to several uranium deposits including AREVA Resources Canada Inc.''s mined-out JEB deposit, approximately 10 kilometers to the southwest, and Cameco''s Eagle Point deposit that is approximately 10 kilometers due south.
The sedimentary basin is filled by relatively undeformed and flat-lying quartz sandstone of the late Proterozoic Athabasca Group. In the Red Willow property area, the Athabasca sandstone unconformably overlies crystalline basement rocks that are within the boundary area of the Mudjatic and Wollaston Domains. The Proterozoic Athabasca Group sandstone is found to cover the Archean and Aphebian basement rocks on the western side of the property at depths of 0 to 120 metres. The basement rock trends NE to SW and is composed of orthogneiss and paragneiss.
