- IsoEnergy (ISOU, Financial) and Purepoint Uranium report a significant step-out at the Dorado joint venture in Saskatchewan.
- Drill hole PG25-07A extends mineralization by 70 meters northeast, with a peak reading of 110,800 CPS.
- Further drilling at Nova Discovery is paused until winter due to wet marsh conditions.
IsoEnergy Ltd. (ISOU) and Purepoint Uranium Group have announced substantial progress at their Dorado joint venture project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The recent drill hole PG25-07A has extended the area of mineralization by 70 meters to the northeast at the Nova Discovery site within the Q48 target area, delivering the strongest mineralization intercept to date. This new intercept averaged 11,100 counts per second (CPS) over a 14-meter stretch and recorded a peak radiation of 110,800 CPS.
The mineralization remains open to the northeast, aligning with patterns indicative of a well-developed hydrothermal system, characteristic of the region's renowned basement-hosted uranium deposits. However, further drilling is currently paused due to wet marsh conditions that hinder land-based operations. Drilling activities are expected to resume in the winter when the ground is sufficiently frozen to facilitate access.
In the meantime, efforts have shifted to the Turaco target, located approximately 8 kilometers northeast of the Q48 site. Here, up to four holes are slated for drilling as part of a 5,400-meter exploratory program scheduled for 2025. The strategic step-outs and upcoming initiatives underscore the potential scale and promise of the Dorado project's mineralized systems.
