The Private Placement was oversubscribed for aggregate gross proceeds of $877,930. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued 9,754,778 flow-through units ("Flow-Through Units") at a price of $0.09 per unit.  Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company to be issued on a "flow through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one common share purchase warrant.  Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.13 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The closing is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange of the Private Placement.

"We are very pleased with the heightened interest in the commodity right now which has demonstrated renewed strength and upward momentum over the past 12 months." said Chris Frostad, President and CEO at Purepoint.  "We are equally pleased with the interest and support in our upcoming Hook Lake program as we embark to advance our discoveries in the Patterson corridor and start to explore the neighboring Derkson corridor, where historic drilling in 1978 by SMDC first discovered uranium mineralization in this corner of the Athabasca Basin."

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid finders' fees consisting of $48,175.80 plus applicable taxes in cash and issued 535,287 non-transferrable compensation warrants.  Each compensation warrant entitles its holder to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.13 per share for a period of 24 months after the date of issuance.
