(\"IsoEnergy\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: ISO; OTCQX: ISENF) is pleased to announce that it has completed a program of ground geophysical surveying at its Thorburn Lake uranium property (the \"Property\") in the Eastern Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan. Compilation and interpretation of the DC-Resistivity geophysical data with previous surveys has resulted in the recognition of additional high priority drill targets on the property.\n\nSteve Blower, Vice President of Exploration commented: \"The survey has successfully located new, high priority drill targets on the unexplored western half of Thorburn Lake that add to an already strong inventory on the property.\"\n\nThorburn Lake\n\nThorburn Lake consists of two claims totaling 2,802 hectares and is located seven kilometres east of Cameco Corp.'s Cigar Lake uranium mine.  Figure 1 shows the location of Thorburn Lake relative to the Cigar Lake mine, other uranium occurrences, and key infrastructure in the area including a powerline and the Cigar Lake to McClean Lake ore haul road which both traverse the western half of the Property. \n\nDespite the presence of several high-grade uranium mines and occurrences in the immediate area, only limited exploration has been completed on the Property to date, most of which has focused on following up weak mineralization drilled in 2008 and 2011 along the eastern end of the southern property boundary. This mineralization includes 0.43% U3O8 over 0.6 metres in 2011 drill hole TBN-11-05a.  Depth to the sub-Athabasca unconformity at Thorburn Lake ranges from 290 to 350 metres.\n\nThe Survey\n\nA program of 49.5 line-km of DC-Resistivity geophysics on grid lines spaced 200 metres apart is now complete.  Figure 1 shows the area that was surveyed, constituting a large portion of the western half of Thorburn Lake. The program extended geop...
