NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE US OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Saskatoon, SK (November 16, 2022) – IsoEnergy Ltd . (TSX -V: ISO) (OTCQX: ISENF) (“ IsoEnergy” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has reached agreements for a $15.3 million funding package,
consisting of a $5 million non -brokered private placement of common shares, a concurrent private
placement of $5.3 million in convertible debentures, and a $5 million “bought deal” private placement of
charitable “flow-through” shares.
The Company will be undertaking a C $5 million non -brokered private placement (the “ Private
Placement”), pursuant to which approximately 1,5 00,000 common shares will be issued at a p rice of
C$3.33 per share (the “Private Placement Price”) to NexGen Energy Ltd. (“NexGen”) (TSX: NXE).
The Company has also entered into a binding term sheet with Queen’s Road Capital Investment Ltd.
(“QRC”) for a US$4 million (approximately C$5.3 million) private placement (the “Debenture Financing”)
of unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”).
In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement with PI Financial Corp. on behalf of a syndicate
of underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to
purchase, on a “bought deal” private placement basis, 940,000 common shares of the Company, each to
be issued as a charitable "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each,
a "FT Share") at a price of C$5.35 per FT Share (the “FT Price”) for gross proceeds of C$5 million (the “FT
Offering” and, together with the Debenture Financing and the Private Placement, the “Offerings”).
Tim Gabruch, President & Chief Executive Officer of IsoEnergy commented: “We are very pleased that our
majority shareholder, NexGen Energy, and our strategic investor, Queen’s Road Capital, have agreed to
make further investments in IsoEnergy. NexGen has supported multiple aspects of IsoEnergy’s growth and
development since our 2016 inception, and Warren Gilman and the Queen’s Road team have been strong
partners and highly supportive of IsoEnergy’s activities in the Athabasca Basin as we have advanced our
exploration properties and progressed the world-class Hurricane deposit. We welcome NexGen and QRC’s
continued involvement, which demonstrates their ongoing confidence in our asset base and strategic
approach. We are also pleased with the strong interest from the broader investment community to invest
in IsoEnergy. Following the completion of the Offerings, IsoEnergy will have over C$17 million in the
treasury and will be fully-funded through its next phase of exploration and development.”
Terms of the Debentures
The Debentures will carry a 10 % coupon (the “ Interest”) over a five -year term and will have similar
provisions as the convertible debenture issued to QRC in 2020 . The Debentures will be convertible at
QRC’s option into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of C $4.33, which is equal to a
30% premium to the Private Placement Price.
The Interest is payable semi -annually with 7.5% payable in cash and 2.5% payable in common shares of
the Company, subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval, at a price equal to the 20-day volume
39851|7635288_6
weighted average market price of the Company’s common shares on the TSXV prior to the date such
Interest is due.
For additional information regarding the terms of the Debentures, readers are encouraged to review the
Debentures, which will be available on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com following the closing of
the Offerings.
General
The Offerings are expected to close on or about December 6, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) and are subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature, including the completion
of due diligence by QRC, the execution of definitive documentation and the receipt of all necessary stock
exchange and regulatory approvals. The securities issued under the Offerings will be subject to a statutory
hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the Closing Date.
The proceeds of the FT Offering will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in
subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection
127(9) of the Income Tax Act. Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date
not later than December 31, 2022, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross
proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares. The net proceed s of the Debenture Financing and Private
Placement will be used for further exploration and development of the Company’s Athabasca properties
and for general corporate purposes.
The Company anticipates that insiders of the Company, in addition to NexGen, will purchase (directly or
indirectly) common shares in connection with the Offerings. The acquisition of common shares by insiders
(including NexGen) is considered a related party transaction subject to Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions . The Company intends to rely on
exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under
sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 on the basis that th e participation in the
Private Placement by such insiders will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company’s market
capitalization. A material change report in connection with the Private Placement will be filed less than
21 days before the clos ing of the Private Placement. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary in
the circumstances as the Company wishes to complete the Private Placement in a timely manner.
In addition to the Offerings, the Underwriters and the Company may agree to an additional offering of up
to $2 million in common shares that are not flow-through shares, at a price per share equal to the Private
Placement Price, with NexGen having a right to subscribe for an equal number of shares on the same
terms.
The securities to be offered pursuant to the Offerings have not been, and will not be, registered under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ U.S. Securities Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws,
and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States
persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there
be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

management at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate.

other factors, which may cause act ual events or results in future periods to differ materially from any
projections of future events or results expressed or implied by such forward -looking information or
statements, including, among others: negative operating cash flow and dependence on th ird party
financing, uncertainty of additional financing, no known mineral reserves or resources, the limited
operating history of the Company, the influence of a large shareholder, alternative sources of energy and
uranium prices, aboriginal title and consultation issues, reliance on key management and other personnel,
actual results of exploration activities being different than anticipated, changes in exploration programs
based upon results, availability of third party contractors, availability of equip ment and supplies, failure
of equipment to operate as anticipated; accidents, effects of weather and other natural phenomena and
other risks associated with the mineral exploration industry, environmental risks, changes in laws and
regulations, community relations and delays in obtaining governmental or other approvals.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward -looking information or implied by fo rward-looking
information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as
actual results and future even ts could differ materially from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. The
