Purecore Metals (CSE:PURE) has appointed discovery-focused geologist Dr Dennis LaPoint as a technical adviser to strengthen its critical minerals exploration capabilities.
LaPoint brings more than 45 years of experience in mineral exploration and mining across uranium, precious metals, and base metals across the US and Canada. He has held senior technical, management, and advisory roles with public and private mining companies.
He also discovered the Merian Gold Mine in Suriname, which hosts an inventory of more than 13 million ounces of gold, and participated in the development of geological models for uranium deposits in the Colorado Plateau.
CEO Peter Berdusco says LaPoint’s “discovery record, technical expertise, and experience in frontier exploration will be a valuable asset as the company evaluates and advances high-potential critical mineral opportunities”.
Purecore Metals is building a critical minerals portfolio aligned with long-term trends across the energy, technology, and defence sectors.
