IsoEnergy Winter Drilling Intersects Elevated Radioactivity in Multiple Holes, Including 30,050 cps over 1.0 Metre, in a Newly Reinterpreted Fault Zone on the South Trend of the Hurricane Deposit
Encouraging winter drill results point to resource growth potential
- IsoEnergy completed an expanded 2026 winter drilling program at the Larocque East project, increasing to 17 holes (6,804 m) to test resource expansion and greenfield targets along the Hurricane South Trend.
- Hole LE26‑248 recorded a 30,050 cps radioactivity over 1.0 m (off‑scale >65,500 cps), indicating a high‑grade uranium anomaly within a newly reinterpreted L‑fault zone.
- Multiple adjacent holes (LE26‑241, LE26‑243, LE26‑234, etc.) intersected strongly elevated radioactivity (up to 10,000 cps) over several metres, extending the prospective corridor up to 540 m east of the deposit footprint.
- All core samples have been submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratory; assay results are pending.
- The program tested the Hurricane South Trend, North Trend, and greenfield targets up to 3 km east of the deposit.
The news represents a continuation of IsoEnergy’s stated 2026 winter drill plan announced on Jan 20 2026. While the radioactivity readings are notably high (off‑scale), they remain preliminary radiometric indicators; assay conversion to %U₃O₈ is pending, and no new resource estimate or economic study was disclosed. The results align with management’s expectation of identifying additional mineralization along the South Trend and extending the prospective corridor. Therefore, the update is incremental and expected, constituting routine positive news rather than a material surprise that would markedly shift valuation.
IsoEnergy Ltd. is a uranium exploration and development company with assets across tier‑one jurisdictions: Canada (Saskatchewan), United States (Utah, Virginia, Quebec) and Australia (Western Australia). Its flagship project is the Larocque East – Hurricane deposit in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, hosting: - Indicated Resources: 48.6 Mlb U₃O₈ @ 34.5% - Inferred Resources: 2.7 Mlb U₃O₈ @ 2.2% The deposit is characterized by shallow unconformity depth (~325 m) and proximity to the McClean Lake mill (~40 km), supporting efficient exploration and potential future development.
