Executive Summary

Purecore Metals Inc. announced the commencement of a comprehensive data compilation and technical review program at the Yurchison Uranium Property in the Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan. The initiative consolidates historical and modern geological, geochemical, geophysical, and drilling information into an integrated database to refine and rank exploration targets. Purecore holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest in Yurchison under a definitive option agreement with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. The property covers approximately 35,029 hectares across 22 claims, located about 75 km south of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake operation.

Historical work on the property includes a 1,424 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey at 50-metre spacing, along with VTEM, radiometric, and VLF-EM surveys. Historical trench prospecting returned values ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% U3O8. The technical information was approved by Dr. Dennis LaPoint, P.Geo., an independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101. The release contains no new drilling results, no new assays, no mineral resource or reserve update, and no financial figures.

Material Impact

Purecore is compiling historical data and ranking exploration targets for potential future fieldwork. This early-stage, desktop-level announcement involves no drill results, resource changes, financing, acquisitions, or production impact. For a pre-revenue explorer, commencing data compilation does not alter the asset’s known value or de-risk the project in a measurable way.
