IsoEnergy and Purepoint Uranium Complete Joint Venture
IsoEnergy (ISENF) and Purepoint Uranium have completed their joint venture, consolidating 10 uranium projects covering 98,000 hectares in Saskatchewan's eastern Athabasca Basin. The initial ownership structure is 60% IsoEnergy and 40% Purepoint, with options to adjust to a 50/50 split through put/call options involving 4,000,000 Purepoint shares. IsoEnergy can later purchase an additional 1% interest for $2 million.
The partnership focuses on properties along the Larocque Trend, near IsoEnergy's Hurricane Deposit. Purepoint will operate during exploration, while IsoEnergy will lead pre-development stages. Any ownership interest reduced to 10% or less converts to a 2% NSR royalty.
