IsoEnergy (NYSE American: ISOU) starts 2026 Larocque East drilling to grow Hurricane uranium

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

IsoEnergy Ltd. has started its 2026 winter diamond drilling program at the Larocque East project in Canada’s Athabasca Basin, which hosts the high-grade Hurricane uranium deposit. The campaign includes approximately 5,200 metres of drilling in up to 13 holes aimed at expanding the Hurricane resource and testing new greenfield targets up to three kilometres east along trend.

The Hurricane deposit currently has a Mineral Resource of 48.6 million pounds U3O8 at 34.5% U3O8 in the Indicated category and 2.7 million pounds U3O8 at 2.2% U3O8 in the Inferred category. Drilling will target North and South trends around Hurricane and a broader target area to the east where prior holes intersected uranium mineralization, leveraging existing infrastructure and relatively shallow mineralization around 325 metres depth.

Exhibit 99.1

IsoEnergy Commences 2026 Winter Drilling Program at the Larocque East Project, Athabasca Basin

TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2026 /CNW/ - IsoEnergy Ltd. ("IsoEnergy", or the "Company") (NYSE American: ISOU) (TSX: ISO) is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2026 winter exploration program on the Larocque East project (the "Project"), which hosts the high-grade Hurricane deposit, in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Canada. The program comprises approximately 5,200 m diamond drilling, up to 13 drill holes, targeting resource expansion at the Hurricane deposit as well as greenfield targets extending up to three kilometres east along trend (Figure 1).

The Hurricane deposit 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. The Project benefits from excellent infrastructure, located approximately 40 km northwest of the McClean Lake mill (Figure 2), and features relatively shallow mineralization at ~325 m, supporting efficient exploration and future development optionality.

Highlights

• Winter drilling has commenced following successful mobilization, targeting Hurricane resource expansion targets and greenfield targets up to three kilometres along strike to the east (Figure 1).

• Resource Expansion: Targets to be tested include the North Trend where 2025 drill hole LE25-218 intersected 0.312% U₃O₈ over 0.5 m seven metres below the unconformity, and the South Trend where 2025 drill hole LE25-207 intersected 1.61% U₃O₈ over 0.5 m in the basal sandstone immediately above the unconformity and a second 0.5 m interval, 4.5 m below the unconformity that returned 1.71% U₃O₈ (see press release dated December 3, 2025).

• Greenfield Targets: Drilling is planned to follow-up on 2025 drill hole LE25-202 that intersected 1.05% U₃O₈ over 0.5 m about 20 m down hole from the unconformity 2.8 km east of Hurricane. This represents the strongest mineralized intersection encountered on the Project outside the Hurricane deposit area (see press release dated December 3, 2025).

Dan Brisbin, Vice President of Exploration, stated, "Our project team has mobilized to the Larocque camp, and we are excited to launch our winter exploration program. Planned drilling is expected to build on positive 2025 results and continue our approach of both testing deposit expansion targets around the margins of the Hurricane deposit and exploring for new deposits along the highly prospective Larocque Trend."

 

 

Resource Expansion Targets at Hurricane

Drilling will focus on resource expansion targets along the North and South trends that flank the Hurricane deposit. These trends are situated within a low seismic velocity anomaly identified by ambient noise tomography (ANT), which is interpreted to map the prospective Hurricane alteration zone. Uranium mineralization was intersected on both trends in 2025 drill holes. Additional drill holes will test targets up to three kilometres along trend to the east of the Hurricane deposit, where drill hole LE25-202 intersected basement-hosted mineralization in 2025.

North Trend

The North Trend is characterized by discontinuous faults in sandstone and basement, associated with anomalous uranium geochemistry up to 50 metres north of the Hurricane deposit. Drill hole LE25-218 was completed on the North Trend during the summer of 2025 to test the unconformity down-dip of anomalous uranium geochemistry and alteration mineralogy previously intersected in the sandstone column in 2020 drill hole LE20-56. Hole LE25-218 intersected 0.312% U₃O₈ over 0.5 m located 7 m below the unconformity at 368.6 m (see news release dated December 3, 2025). Elevated uranium mineralization is associated with hematite alteration, flanked by patchy clay and chlorite alteration, within a graphitic cordierite pelite unit. This graphitic basement unit lies approximately 50 m north of the graphitic host rocks and fault structures that underlie the Hurricane deposit. Winter 2026 drilling will continue to test for fertile structure within this area of coincident anomalous uranium geochemistry and ANT low velocity response on the north flank of the Hurricane deposit.

South Trend

The prospectivity of the South Trend remains strong and remains open to the east of LE25-212A (Figure 1). Winter 2026 drilling will test this trend both close to Hurricane and to the east, where the trend remains open. The potential of the South Trend is highlighted by mineralization intersected near the unconformity in drill holes LE25-207, LE25-210, LE21-101 and LE22-115A. The 2025 drill hole LE25-207 returned 1.61% U₃O₈ over a 0.5 m interval in the basal sandstone immediately above the unconformity at 323.8 m. A second 0.5 m interval, 4.5 m below the unconformity, returned 1.71% U₃O₈. LE25-210, also drilled in 2025, returned 0.486% U₃O₈ over a 0.5 m interval, located three metres below the unconformity at 320.6 m. Highly anomalous uranium in LE25-210 is not restricted to this interval. Two metres up hole a 2.5 m interval from 1.5 m above the unconformity to 1.0 m below the unconformity returned an average of 0.115% U₃O₈ (see press release dated December 3, 2025). Clay mineralogy within the sandstone column of the twelve holes drilled in 2025 is dominated by illite, with lesser amounts of kaolinite and chlorite, which is an assemblage consistent with prospective hydrothermal alteration associated with unconformity-related uranium systems. The prospective clay mineralogy extends for 190 m or more up hole from the unconformity in most drill holes. Background dickite is only a component of the lower sandstone spectral mineralogy in LE25-210 and LE25-212. Significant segments of the South trend remain undertested.

Target Area D

Drill hole LE25-202, completed 2.8 km east of the Hurricane deposit in the winter of 2025, intersected the best mineralized intersection on the project outside of the Hurricane deposit area. The intersection returned 1.05% U₃O₈ over 0.5 m approximately 20 m down hole from the unconformity at 270.3 m in a broader interval that returned 0.583% U₃O₈ over 1.5 m (see press release dated December 3, 2025). Follow-up holes were drilled on section and to the southwest, but step-outs could not be completed to the northeast because drilling on a lake is required to test these targets.
