The Hook Lake project features nine claims totaling 28,683ha, located 80km southeast of the former Cluff Lake mine.
The drill program will target the Patterson Lake corridor, which is an extension of the conductive trend along which the neighboring Fission/Alpha joint venture intersected high-grade uranium mineralization.
Purepoint plans to invest $9m for a ground time domain EM survey and 2,250m of diamond drilling.
Purepoint president and chief executive officer Chris Frostad said that the company is operating the project on behalf of the joint venture and its partners Cameco and AREVA Resources.
"There has been extensive work leading up to the determination of this year’s drill program, and we are anxious to test our new targets," Frostad added.
Purepoint filed a National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report on its Hook Lake uranium project on 27 November 2012.
Mobilization for drilling commenced in February 2013, with the program expected to continue until mid April.
