IsoEnergy (TSX: ISO) has begun its 2025 winter exploration program within the Athabasca Basin. The program is scheduled to drill test the Larocque East project, including both the Hurricane deposit as well as greenfield targets along trend.
“We are eager to launch our winter exploration program, which includes testing deposit expansion targets around the margins of the Hurricane deposit and exploring for new deposits along the highly prospective Larocque Trend. The approach builds on the understanding that Athabasca uranium deposits often consist of multiple zones distributed along trends several kilometres in length, suggesting the potential for additional discoveries beyond the Hurricane deposit,” commented Dan Brisbin, VP of Exploration for IsoEnergy.

The planned drill program is to consist of 8,800 metres, which will be conducted via two drill rigs. 2,800 metres are to focus on resource expansion of the Hurricane deposit. A total of seven holes will be conducted here, focusing on certain geochemical anomalies and alteration associated with fault extensions.
The remaining 6,000 metres will be focused on greenfield targets along the Larocque trend. Fifteen holes are scheduled to drill test a six kilometre long segment of the trend to the east of the Hurricane deposit. Drilling is to initially focus on three target areas that were identified by bringing together geophysical and geochemical data.
Geophysical surveys are also a part of the planned exploration program. Surveys are currently slated to occur on the East Rim, Evergreen and Hawk projects, which will assist in advancing these projects towards drilling.
