IsoEnergy Ltd. announced the commencement of its 2024 winter exploration program in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Canada designed to follow up on the successful 2023 season. A total of 8,250 metres of drilling is planned for the winter with a budget of $4 million focused on two highly prospective projects; Larocque East, which contains the high-grade Hurricane deposit and Hawk. The program will drill test targets to the east of the Hurricane deposit at the Larocque East Project and new targets generated in 2023 at the Hawk Project.

Larocque East Project: Six diamond drill holes, totalling 3,150m of drilling are planned at the 100% owned Larocque East project to follow up on favourable results from the ANT survey conducted in the summer of 2023. The strong ANT signature over the Hurricane deposit, and two other significant ANT anomalies along the conductor corridor to the east, the location of previous drill holes and the planned drill hole locations for the winter program. Exploration drilling in Target Area A will test the large ANT anomaly (600m X 200m) located ~ 2km east of the Hurricane deposit.

This target has not been tested by past drilling. Drilling will also test Target Area B, where coincident geochemical and ANT anomalies occur approximately 480m east of the Hurricane deposit. In Target Area B, previous drill holes LE-19-26 and LE20-33, located on the western edge of the ANT anomaly, intersected anomalous pathfinder geochemical results associated with strong Illite alteration in the basal sandstone.

The remaining prospective trend that hosts the Hurricane deposit continues to the east for another 9km. This eastern extension remains highly prospective and will be the focus of further target generation efforts in the coming months. Hawk Project: The Hawk project hosts at least 15km of prospective conductive strike with depths to the unconformity interpreted to be between 600m and 750m.

Drilling on the property has intersected anomalous radioactivity along with other anomalous pathfinder elements associated with significant sandstone structure and alteration along a conductive magnetic low corridor. Six diamond drill holes, totalling 5,100m, are planned at the 100% owned Hawk project during the winter 2024 season. Drilling will follow-up results from the integration of significant sandstone alteration and structure in recent drilling (see the news release dated October 24, 2023), ground EM, ZTEM inversion, and highly anomalous areas indicated by the ANT survey in the summer of 2023.

The relative location of the drill target areas and the interpreted conductor traces and ANT anomalies hosted within the broader corridor of low magnetic susceptibility ? interpreted to map the extent of favourable metasedimentary gneiss beneath the Athabasca Group sandstones. The expectation is that the potential to host a large Athabasca style uranium deposit is considered high as the exploration maturity of the project is very low.

The size of the potential alteration halo in sandstone as interpreted from the ANT anomaly is approximately 2km long and up to 600m wide. Additionally, 27.5-line kilometres of ground EM surveying are planned along the approximately 2km long interpreted northeastern extension of the ANT and conductivity anomaly. This work will generate drill targets for further evaluation of this undrilled portion of the Hawk trend.

Staking: Two claims, totalling 431 hectares were staked during Fourth Quarter 2023. This staking established the Ledge project, located adjacent to the southeast margin of the Athabasca Basin where previous work has identified both northeast trending metasedimentary rocks and EM conductors with the potential to host basement style uranium mineralization.
