TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sep 17, 2015) - 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.

• The Osprey Zone - which has returned up to 0.20% U₃O₈ over 5.8 metres and has excellent exploration potential at depth below the known mineralization. To date, the mineralized zone has only been drill tested at shallow depths.
• The Osprey Hinge Fault - which in an initial 3-hole drill fence intersected a radioactive fault zone as well as some of the strongest clay alteration seen to date on the property. A review of basement rock geochemistry also showed the "Hinge" holes to have very strong alteration signatures.
• The Topping Island Zone - which appears to be the eastern terminus of Denison Mine's Crooked-Richardson Lakes conductive belt where recent drilling returned 0.45% U₃O₈ over 2.3 metres. During the 1980's an off-scale pitchstone cobble (>9,999 cps) was discovered down-ice of Purepoint's Topping Island conductor. The source of that sample has not yet been identified.
• The 333 Zone - which has drill targets not yet tested, was named after a historic overburden hole (#333) that intersected values up to 0.31% U₃O₈ in glacial till. Recent geophysics has outlined the possible source as a strong 1.1 km conductor located 200 metres to the north east of hole 333.
• The Geneva Zone - where drilling has intersected 0.22% U₃O₈ over 1.0 metre within a graphitic fault zone. Recent induced polarization surveys have outlined two low apparent resistivity "chimneys" that correspond with gravity anomalies and extend to the uranium intercept.
• The Golden Eye Shear Zone - which is located between two historic uranium occurrences; the FDL showing (with a historic outcrop sample of 1.43% U₃O₈) and the AJ showing (returning a radioactive subcrop sample of 0.46% U₃O₈). An interpreted shear, coincident with an untested 6 km long EM conductor, joins these two showings.
• The Turkey North conductor - The historic Turkey conductor, which has returned intercepts of up to 0.16% U₃O₈ over 1.0 metre, is interpreted to continue untested for over 5 kilometres on the Red Willow North property.
• Additional target areas outlined in the report include Dancing Lake, Ghost Lake, Horse Lake, Cross Lake and Smith Bay zones.

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.

About Purepoint

Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. is focused on the precision exploration of its seven projects in the Canadian Athabasca Basin. Purepoint proudly maintains project ventures in the Basin with two of the largest uranium producers in the world, Cameco Corp. and AREVA Resources Canada Inc. Established in the Athabasca Basin well before the initial resurgence in uranium earlier last decade, Purepoint is actively advancing a large portfolio of multiple drill targets in the world's richest uranium region.
