IsoEnergy Begins Hurricane Uranium Zone Summer Drilling Program Planned 6,700 Metre, 16-hole Drill Program to Follow-up on High Grade Uranium Discovery
IsoEnergy Begins Hurricane Uranium Zone Summer Drilling Program
Planned 6,700 Metre, 16-hole Drill Program to Follow-up on High Grade Uranium Discovery
Vancouver, BC, June 19, 2019 – IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ISO; OTCQX: ISENF) is
pleased to announce that it has commenced a program of follow -up core drilling targeting extensions of the
newly discovered Hurricane zone uranium mineralization at its 100% owned Larocque East property (the
“Property”) in the Eastern Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan.
Highlights
• Drilling has begun with the collaring of drill hole LE19-14
• No mobilization of equipment was required - all drilling equipment and a cache of fuel were left on
site after the winter program
• No helicopter is required, as there are no lakes over the Hurricane zone or target areas
Steve Blower, Vice President, Exploration commented: “Drilling this summer on the Hurricane zone should be
exciting as we evaluate the potential to expand the zone to the east and target thicker and higher -grade
intersections within the current drill pattern. Our Technical team on-site, lead by Andy Carmichael, IsoEnergy’s
Senior Geologist, have done a terrific job preparing for and initiating the program.”
Craig Parry, Chief Executive Officer commented: “Our summer drill program is our most significant drill
program to date, and we look forward to reporting on results over the coming months . Hurricane is in an
excellent location, at a relatively shallow depth, not covered by any bodies of water and is within 40 km of the
modern, high-grade McClean Lake uranium mill that currently has excess capacity. The program will be going
ahead at an im portant time for the uranium industry with a number of potential catalysts for improving
uranium prices set to emerge in coming months”.
The Drilling Program
The planned drilling program consists of 6,700 metres of core drilling in 16 drill holes. The primary objective is
to expand the Hurricane zone to the east of the current drilling pattern with 10 -12 drill holes completed on
aggressive 100-200m step-outs along-strike. Many of these step -out drill holes will also be completed deep
into the basement to locate potential basement hosted mineralization. The remainder of the drill holes will
evaluate the potential for thicker and higher-grade intersections within the current drill pattern. Figure 1 is a
property location map and Figure 2 shows the planned drilling area.
Access to the Larocque East camp, located approximately one kilometre from the drill site , will be by float
plane. All equipment necessary for drilling and moving the drill between collar sites , including fuel, was left
on-site after the recently completed winter program. Additionally, with no lakes or wetlands in the area of the
Hurricane zone or the area to be drilled this summer , all currently planned drill sites can be reached on the
ground without a helicopter.
The Larocque East Property
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, t he 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% U 3O8 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 sutur e 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.
