VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 15, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Purecore Metals Inc. has launched a comprehensive data compilation and technical review program at the Yurchison Uranium Property in northern Saskatchewan. The company, which holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest in the property, aims to consolidate historical and modern geological, geochemical, and geophysical data into an integrated project database. This initiative is expected to refine areas of interest and prioritize targets for potential future exploration.

The Yurchison Uranium Property, located approximately 75 kilometers south of Cameco Corporation’s Rabbit Lake operation, covers an area of 35,029 hectares. The property has a rich history of exploration, with much of the earlier work completed prior to 2000. More recent efforts include a 1,424 line-kilometer high-resolution airborne magnetic survey and various geophysical and geochemical surveys.

Peter Berdusco, President and Chief Executive Officer of Purecore, commented, "Yurchison has a significant volume of modern geophysical data and decades of exploration history. This program will bring that information together into an integrated geological framework, refining our understanding of the property and prioritizing areas for future exploration."

The current program will involve the compilation and digitization of available historical geological, geochemical, geophysical, and drilling information. It will also integrate and interpret historical and modern airborne geophysical datasets, review historical uranium occurrences and prospecting results, and assess structural and geological controls relevant to uranium mineralization. The goal is to identify and prioritize areas that show the highest potential for future exploration.

Historical exploration at Yurchison has identified uranium mineralization in several areas of the property, including prospecting near historical trenches that returned values ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% U₃O₈. These results, along with historical and modern geophysical datasets, will form part of the current compilation and technical review.

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, an independent Qualified Person, will oversee the technical information in this news release. Purecore intends to use the current compilation and interpretation program to establish a stronger technical foundation for future exploration planning. The company aims to leverage the comprehensive data to identify and prioritize targets for potential follow-up exploration, ultimately aiming to advance the project towards a more detailed exploration phase.

The Yurchison Uranium Property is situated in the Wollaston Domain of northern Saskatchewan, underlain by Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary gneisses. The property has seen historical exploration for uranium, with Highway 905 providing access through the area. The majority of historical exploration was completed prior to 2000, and significant portions of the property have received limited modern follow-up. Purecore plans to use the current compilation and interpretation program to establish a stronger technical foundation for future exploration planning.
