08:26 AM EDT, 06/04/2024 (MT Newswires) -- IsoEnergy ( ISENF ) said Tuesday that it has initiated the summer exploration program on its eastern Athabasca Basin uranium properties.

The program includes 30 diamond drill holes for 9,825 meters of drilling on the Larocque East and East Rim projects to follow up on the positive results from the winter exploration program.

At the Larocque East Project, the company has planned 27 diamond drill holes for 8,775 meters to follow up on positive alteration results within Target Area A and initial drill testing of new targets identified in Target Areas B, C, and D.

Also, the company said an eastward extension to the Ambient Noise Tomography survey is in progress and is intended to refine exploration target areas along the Larocque East conductor trend.

At the East Rim Project, the company has planned three reconnaissance exploration diamond drill holes for 1,050 meters targeting coincident geophysical anomalies located on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin.

The company is planning additional work to develop a pipeline of exploration targets on earlier-stage projects, including helicopter and drone radiometric and magnetic surveys, and ground ANT surveys on the Cable, Evergreen, Rapid River, 2Z, and Madison projects.
