- IsoEnergy (TSX: ISO, OTCQX: ISENF) completed a winter drilling program at Larocque East Project with strong radioactivity findings.
- Key intersections include up to 8,800 cps in South Trend and 6,200 cps in Area D, highlighting resource expansion potential.
- Summer drilling will focus on further exploration and testing of Areas E and F east of Hurricane.
IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX: ISO, OTCQX: ISENF) has announced the completion of its winter drilling program at the Larocque East Project, located in the eastern Athabasca Basin. The program included 17 diamond drill holes, totaling 6,396 meters, and revealed significant radioactivity in five holes.
Notably, the Main Trend's Hole LE25-194, located 80 meters east of the Hurricane Deposit, recorded a maximum probe reading of 30,829 counts per second (cps) over 0.5 meters, while the South Trend's Hole LE25-207, positioned 240 meters east, showed a reading of 30,096 cps over an identical interval. Additionally, Area D, situated 2.8 kilometers east of Hurricane, saw Hole LE25-202 with readings up to 28,782 cps over 0.5 meters.
The current mineral resource estimate for the Hurricane Deposit comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 48.6 million pounds at 34.5% U3O8 and an Inferred Resource of 2.7 million pounds at 2.2% U3O8. With geochemical results pending, IsoEnergy plans to resume drilling this summer, targeting Areas E and F, 6-9 kilometers east of Hurricane, to build upon these promising winter results.
A new geophysical model has also identified a previously underexplored 2,500-meter conductive trend, offering further opportunities for future resource expansion.
