IsoEnergy eyes resource expansion this year in eastern Athabasca

IsoEnergy (TSX: ISO; OTCQX: ISENF) commenced its 2025 winter exploration program in the eastern Athabasca Basin. The company will focus on testing resource potential near the Hurricane deposit and evaluating greenfield targets along the Larocque trend east of Hurricane. The Hurricane deposit is located within the company’s Larocque East Project in northern Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin which has the world's highest grade indicated uranium mineral resource.

IsoEnergy has approved a budget of $5.3 million for the 2025 winter exploration programs in the east Athabasca. The uranium company will be advancing from its successful 2024 drilling efforts. At this moment, the company intends to drill 8,800 metres on the Larocque East project. Teams will also advance geophysical surveys the Hawk, Evergreen and East Rim projects to advance these early-stage projects to the drill ready stage.

IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit resource expansion will involve the following: About 2,800 metres of drilling in seven holes will target gaps in historic drilling near the Hurricane deposit and 2024's target area B and drilling will test areas where prior results show geochemical anomalies and alteration associated with fault extensions that control mineralization within the Hurricane resource.

The uranium producer will also include the following greenfield targets along the Larocque trend: Up to 6,000 metres of drilling in 15 holes will test a six-kilometre segment of the Larocque Trend east of the Hurricane deposit and drilling will focus initially on three target areas (D, E, and F) identified through 2024's integration of geophysical and geochemical data. The trend on which these target areas lie extends eastward on to IsoEnergy and Purepoint Uranium's joint venture announced late last year.

Dan Brisbin, Vice President of Exploration, stated, "We are eager to launch our winter exploration program, which includes testing deposit expansion targets around the margins of the Hurricane deposit and exploring for new deposits along the highly prospective Larocque Trend. “

The Larocque East project contains 39 mineral claims totaling 19,699 ha. Company geologists have identified a very high-grade mineralization over widths and thicknesses seen at major deposits – up to 12m thick x 125m wide. The project is located near roads and power in the Eastern Basin. The project is also only 40 km from Orano’s McClean Lake mill and other infrastructure.  More information on the company and this project is posted on www.IsoEnergy.ca.
