Vancouver, BC, June 12, 2019 – IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ISO; OTCQX: ISENF) is pleased to announce that it has filed a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (the “Report”) on its 100% owned Larocque East property (the “Property”), home to the Hurricane uranium zone.  The Hurricane zone is a new discovery of high-grade uranium mineralization located in the prolific eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. 

The Report documents all aspects of the exploration and core drilling completed to date on the Larocque East property, especially as it pertains to the Hurricane zone.  Included in the Report is a recommended program and budget for the next phase of work which consists of 6,700m of drilling in 16 drill holes and is expected to cost C$1,600,000.  The primary objective of this work is to evaluate the eastern strike extension of the Hurricane zone for additional high-grade uranium mineralization in a series of aggressive 100-200m step-outs scheduled to begin later this month.  Some of the drilling will also evaluate the potential for thicker and higher-grade intersections within the current drilling pattern.

The Report was prepared by Tim Maunula of T. Maunula & Associates Consulting Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. 

Larocque East

The Property consists of 20 mineral claims totaling 8,371ha.  The original portion was purchased in May, 2018 before being expanded by recent staking.  The Property is owned 100% by IsoEnergy and is not encumbered by any royalties or other interests.  Larocque East is immediately adjacent to the north end of IsoEnergy’s Geiger property and is 35 kilometres northwest of Orano Canada’s McClean Lake uranium mine and mill. 

Along with other target areas, the Property covers a 15-kilometre-long northeast extension of the Larocque Lake conductor system; a trend of graphitic metasedimentary basement rocks that is associated with significant uranium mineralization at the Hurricane zone, and in several occurrences on Cameco Corp.’s neighbouring property to the southwest of Larocque East.  The Hurricane zone was discovered in July, 2018 and was recently followed up with a 12-hole drilling campaign in the winter of 2019.  Eleven of those 12 drill holes intersected substantial uranium mineralization, including 10.4% U₃O₈ over 3.5m in drill hole LE19-02 and 3.2% U₃O₈ over 8.5m in drill hole LE19-12.  Drilling at Cameco Corp.’s Larocque Lake zone on the neighbouring property to the southwest has returned historical intersections of up to 29.9% U₃O₈ over 7.0 metres in drill hole Q22-040.  Like the nearby Geiger property, Larocque East is located adjacent to the Wollaston-Mudjatik transition zone - a major crustal suture related to most of the major uranium deposits in the eastern Athabasca Basin.  Importantly, the sandstone cover on the Property is thin, ranging between 140 metres and 330 metres in previous drilling.  In addition to the Hurricane zone discovery, four historical drill holes have intersected weak uranium mineralization at other locations on the Property to date.

Such forward-looking information and statements are based on numerous assumptions, including among others, that the results of planned exploration activities are as anticipated, the price of uranium, the anticipated cost of planned exploration activities, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third party contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental and other approvals required to conduct the Company’s planned exploration activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely manner. Although the assumptions made by the Company in providing forward-looking information or making forward-looking statements are considered reasonable by management at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate.
