ISOENERGY AND PUREPOINT URANIUM COMPLETE JOINT VENTURE

IsoEnergy Ltd. and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. have successfully implemented of their previously announced joint venture (see press release dated Oct. 22, 2024), consolidating 10 uranium projects spanning over 98,000 hectares in the eastern Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan. This strategic collaboration strengthens both companies' efforts to advance high-potential uranium assets in one of the world's premier uranium-producing regions.

The joint venture establishes an initial ownership structure of 60 per cent by IsoEnergy and 40 per cent by Purepoint, with the option to adjust to a 50/50 split through the exercise of put/call options, pursuant to which 10 per cent of IsoEnergy's initial participation interest may be transferred to Purepoint in exchange for four million common shares of Purepoint. The put/call option is exercisable within six months of the joint venture's formation, with the exercise of one option resulting in the expiry of the other. Following completion of the put/call option period, IsoEnergy will hold a further option to purchase an additional 1-per-cent interest from Purepoint for $2-million, giving IsoEnergy a 51-per-cent participation interest and Purepoint a 49-per-cent participation interest. This option expires on the earlier of Feb. 28, 2026, or 60 days after a material uranium discovery. The ownership interests of each company are subject to standard dilution, with any participation interest that is reduced to 10 per cent or less being automatically exchanged for a 2-per-cent net smelter royalty on the joint venture properties.

The joint venture brings together a complementary portfolio of highly prospective properties strategically positioned along the Larocque trend, a region renowned for high-grade uranium discoveries such as IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit. Subject to the terms of the joint venture agreement, Purepoint will serve as operator during the exploration phase while IsoEnergy will assume operational control as the projects advance to predevelopment stages. Work programs across the joint portfolio are expected to commence in the near future.

Philip Williams, chief executive officer and director of IsoEnergy, commented: "This partnership allows us to advance a promising portfolio of uranium projects while maintaining our focus on IsoEnergy's core development assets. By working alongside Purepoint, a highly experienced operator in the Athabasca basin, we ensure these projects receive the dedicated attention and resources needed to unlock their full potential."

Chris Frostad, president and chief executive officer of Purepoint, added: "Our strategy of partnering with the strongest players in the uranium sector ensures that our most prospective projects, like those within this joint venture, are supported by a secure and sustainable source of funding. This collaboration not only validates the potential of these assets but also aligns with our commitment to advance them responsibly and efficiently."
