Larocque East Property
4,500 Metre, 10‐hole Drill Program Following Up on Discovery Intercept of 8.5 Metres
Averaging 1.26% U3O8
Vancouver, BC, January 15, 2018 – 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.
Drilling Program Mobilization Highlights
23 kilometres of winter road have been established
A fully winterized work camp has been erected one kilometre from the drill site
Drilling has begun with the collaring of drill hole LE19‐02
Steve Blower, Vice President, Exploration commented: “This program, being the first follow‐up drilling
campaign to our successful summer 2018 program, is the first step in determining the nature and extent of the
Hurricane zone, one of many drilling targets present on the Larocque East property.”
The Drill Program
The planned drilling program consists of 4,500 metres of core drilling in ten drill holes designed to follow‐up
discovery hole LE18‐01A, the last hole drilled in the summer 2018 drilling program. An 8.5‐metre‐long interval
of uranium mineralization (see news release dated July 25, 2018) in LE18‐01A averages 1.26% U3O8 (above a
cutoff of 0.1% U3O8) and includes a zone of off‐scale radioactivity (>15,000 cps on an SRAT SPP2 scintillometer
(the “SPP2”)) that averages 6.45% U3O8 over 1.0 metre. Figure 1 shows the location of the Larocque East
property and the Hurricane zone.
A 23‐kilometre‐long winter road has been established from the Athabasca seasonal road that connects Points
North Landing and Stony Rapids. The winter road has allowed the construction of a fully‐winterized and
scaleable temporary work camp that is located approximately one kilometre from the drill site.
Initial drill holes will determine the nature and extent of the Hurricane zone on the LE18‐01A cross‐section,
with holes drilled both to the northwest and southeast of the discovery drill hole LE18‐01A. Drill hole spacing
on the section is expected to be approximately 12.5 metres and is shown on the cross‐section in Figure 2. The
first follow up drill hole to LE18‐01A is called LE19‐02 and is a vertical hole that will intersect the unconformity
target 12.5 metres north of drill hole LE18‐01A. Once the dimensions and the geology on the LE18‐01A cross‐
section are fully understood, subsequent drill holes will step out along‐strike of the Hurricane zone in both
directions. The expected step‐out distance along‐strike is 25‐50 metres, depending on the results from the
initial drill holes.
The Larocque East Property
Larocque East consists of 6 mineral claims totaling 3,200 hectares and was recently purchased in May, 2018.
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 recently expanded Geiger property and is 35
kilometres northwest of Orano Canada’s McClean Lake uranium mine and mill.
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 in
several occurrences to the southwest of the Larocque East property. The closest of these are Cameco’s
Larocque Lake and Larocque North zones, which are located 6.5 kilometres and 0.4 kilometres, respectively, to
the southwest of the western Larocque East property boundary. Drilling at the Larocque Lake zone has
returned intersections of up to 29.9% U3O8 over 7.0 metres in drill hole Q22‐040. The Larocque East property
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 vertical distance from surface to the
unconformity is short, ranging between 140 metres and 330 metres in previous drilling. A total of 23 historical
drill holes have been completed on the Property along approximately 22 kilometres of graphitic conductors.
Several high priority drilling targets are present on the property (see Figure 1), in addition to the open high‐
grade uranium mineralization at the Hurricane zone.
