Description
Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the start of the company’s fully funded summer 2026 drill program at the Dorado Project, a 50/50 joint venture with IsoEnergy located in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.
The program is designed to build on the success of the Nova Discovery, where winter drilling expanded uranium mineralization along a one-kilometre structural corridor and significantly improved the company’s geological understanding of the system.
Frostad said the summer campaign will consist of seven drill holes totaling approximately 3,150 metres and will run through July and August. The primary objective is to further expand the Nova Discovery while also testing several high-priority regional targets across the broader Dorado property.
The program follows a highly successful nine-hole winter drill campaign, which intersected anomalous radioactivity exceeding 500 counts per second (cps) in every hole drilled. Winter drilling also confirmed a peak downhole gamma reading of 73,100 cps, highlighting the strength of the uranium mineralization encountered. Assay results from the winter program remain pending.
In addition to drilling, the company recently completed an airborne MobileMT geophysical survey over the Dorado Project. Results from the survey will be integrated into ongoing geological interpretation and future drill targeting efforts, helping refine exploration priorities across the property.
Management believes the combination of strong drill results, advanced geophysical data, and a growing understanding of the mineralized corridor positions Dorado as one of the most promising emerging uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin.
