IsoEnergy Launches 2026 Summer Exploration Program
IsoEnergy announced the commencement of its 2026 summer exploration program on the Larocque East project, which hosts the high-grade Hurricane deposit in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Canada. The program is planned to comprise approximately 8,000 m of diamond drilling across up to 20 drill holes, focused on following up high-grade winter 2026 results. Hurricane hosts a current Mineral Resource of 48.6 Mlb U3O8 at 34.5% U3O8 Indicated, and 2.7 Mlb U3O8 at 2.2% U3O8 Inferred. Winter 2026 drilling returned 4.21% UO over 3.5 m, including 11.61% UO over 1.0 m, with additional intercepts of 2.75% UO over 0.5 m and 1.75% UO over 0.5 m, approximately 525 m east of the resource envelope. Summer drilling is designed to test the South Trend which intersected high grade mineralization along the J-L fault corridor. In addition to Larocque East, IsoEnergy has 14 prospective early-stage projects in the eastern Athabasca Basin on which a pipeline of drill targets is being developed.
