Purepoint-IsoEnergy JV Launches Seven-Hole, 3,150m Drill Program to Expand Nova Uranium Discovery
ISOU•Purepoint and IsoEnergy’s Dorado JV has begun a summer drill campaign at the Athabasca Basin’s Nova Discovery with seven holes totalling 3,150 metres to extend a one-kilometre corridor. Winter drilling yielded assays up to 8.1% U3O8 and a peak gamma reading of 73,100 cps, refining the model for plunge testing.
1. Summer Drill Program Launch
Purepoint and IsoEnergy have commenced a fully funded summer 2026 drill program at the Dorado Project’s Nova Discovery, targeting seven holes totaling 3,150 metres through August. The program will use helicopter-supported drilling to test extensions of the one-kilometre structural corridor and integrate recent geophysical survey data.
2. Program Objectives and Past Results
Winter drilling intersected continuous radioactivity exceeding 500 cps in nine holes, refining the geological model and yielding assays up to 8.1% U3O8 and a peak gamma count of 73,100 cps. This summer’s campaign aims to test the interpreted plunge of the mineralized structure toward the unconformity and explore additional high-priority conductive targets.
