TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 4, 2008 -- In response to a press release issued by United Uranium Corp. on February 28, 2008, Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (CDNX:PTU.V - News) today confirmed its position that United Uranium' claim for joint ownership of a small boundary extension property recently staked by Purepoint is without merit and will be vigorously defended.

Specifically, Chris Frostad, President & CEO of Purepoint stated that "we view this claim as nothing more than an opportunistic attempt to capitalize upon Purepoint's recent drilling success at its nearby Red Willow Project. Purepoint staked a small portion of a larger property dropped by United Uranium in 2007. United Uranium's claim for joint ownership did not surface until after Purepoint announced the discovery of uranium on the adjoining Red Willow Project."

This action does not call into question Purepoint's title to any of its historical properties, including its 100% owned Red Willow Project, nor does it affect any of Purepoint's planned exploration programs.
