Purecore Metals (CSE:PURE) has appointed geophysicist Jeremy Brett as technical adviser to support exploration across its uranium and copper portfolio.
Brett brings more than 30 years of international experience spanning a broad range of geophysical methods and commodities across five continents.
He has advised more than 100 junior and major exploration and mining companies, alongside provincial and national governments.
His uranium work includes Athabasca-style geological settings in Canada and overseas, while his copper experience covers projects across several Canadian and international jurisdictions.
President and CEO Peter Berdusco says Brett will help translate geological and geophysical information into exploration targets.
“His extensive geophysical experience and ability to integrate geological and geophysical data into practical exploration targeting will be valuable as we advance our uranium and copper exploration portfolio,” Berdusco says.
Brett holds a Master of Science in geology, specialising in geophysics, and a Bachelor of Science in physics, specialising in geophysics, from the University of Toronto.
He previously served on the board of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada and led geophysical input into its work on digital exploration assessment data formats.
The appointment comes as Purecore undertakes data compilation and target generation at the Yurchison uranium property in Saskatchewan and evaluates historical exploration information from its Bankier critical minerals property in British Columbia.
It also follows Purecore’s recent oversubscribed private placement, which raised approximately C$3.52 million ($3.63 million) to support exploration and working capital.
Purecore Metals is a Canadian critical minerals explorer holding an option to earn up to 100% of Yurchison and owning 100% of Bankier.
