As part of the program, the company plans to explore magnetic low area within the Patterson Conductive Corridor.
Ontario-based Aeroquest will conduct a helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) survey in October following which a ground stepwise moving loop EM survey will be completed in November.
Data from airborne and ground EM surveys will facilitate in defining EM conductors within the target area, particularly the D2 conductor, which is said to be associated with the Spitfire uranium discovery.
Purepoint exploration vice president Scott Frostad said: "Airborne magnetic results from south of our Hook Lake JV project show that Fission’s PLS discovery is situated within a magnetic low approximately 2 kilometres wide.
"The magnetic low anomaly we’re targeting is considerably larger, measuring 3 by 5 kilometres in size, an area easily large enough to host a world-class uranium deposit."
Being the project operator since 2007, Purepoint Uranium holds 21% stake in the Hook Lake project, while Cameco and AREVA Resources Canada each hold 39.5% stake in the project.
