Vancouver, BC, February 6, 2018 – IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ISO; OTCQX: ISENF) is pleased to announce that it has acquired through staking a new 100% owned property called Whitewater (the “Property”), in the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan.   

Garrett Ainsworth, a Director of IsoEnergy, comments: “I’m very excited about this addition to the IsoEnergy property portfolio.  The Whitewater Property area shares some geological features with the southwest Athabasca basin region around the Rook 1 property, held by NexGen Energy Ltd. (“NexGen”).  Supracrustal rocks of the Tantato domain at Whitewater have been described by several researchers as correlative with those of the Taltson domain that host NexGen’s Arrow deposit at Rook 1.  Add to that, the presence of the uranium-fertile Grease River shear zone and numerous uranium occurrences, and you have all the ingredients of a highly prospective uranium exploration property.”

Steve Blower, Vice President of Exploration at IsoEnergy, comments: “The addition of the Whitewater Property is a great example of the benefit of the Company’s affiliation with NexGen, as we’re able to leverage Garrett Ainsworth’s experience discovering uranium mineralization in prospective, off-basin settings adjacent to the Athabasca Basin margin.”

Whitewater

The Whitewater Property was staked on January 16^th and consists of 15 contiguous claims totaling 25,966 hectares located along the northern rim of the Athabasca basin.  Figure 1 shows the location of the Property relative to IsoEnergy’s other Saskatchewan uranium exploration properties.  The entire Property is located just off-basin, therefore there is no sandstone cover.  At its closest point, the Whitewater Property boundary is within 5 kilometres of the edge of the Athabasca basin. 

The Property covers over 26 kilometres of the Grease River shear zone which separates the Beaverlodge, Train and Dodge domains to the northwest from the Tantato domain to the southeast.  This prominent, long-lived, crustal-scale structure is known to host Athabasca basin related uranium mineralization at the nearby Fond du Lac deposit 26 kilometres along-strike to the southwest.  Uranium mineralization is also present on the Property.  The Saskatchewan government’s Mineral Deposits Index lists a total of 25 uranium occurrences located within the Whitewater property boundary.  Figure 2 shows the prominent geological features and uranium occurrences in the general area of the Property. 

Initial work will involve a short period of data compilation, which will likely be followed by airborne geophysical surveying to prioritize target areas for more detailed exploration.

Generally, but not always, forward-looking information and statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes” or the negative connotation thereof or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotation thereof.

Such forward-looking information and statements are based on numerous assumptions, including among others, that the results of planned exploration activities are as anticipated, the price of uranium, the anticipated cost of planned exploration activities, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third party contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental and other approvals required to conduct the Company’s planned exploration activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely manner and that the acquisition of the Property will be completed on the terms currently agreed to. Although the assumptions made by the Company in providing forward-looking information or making forward-looking statements are considered reasonable by management at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information or implied by forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
