(\"IsoEnergy\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: ISO; OTCQX: ISENF) is pleased to announce that it is now in receipt of all required permits for its planned drilling program designed to extend the high-grade uranium mineralization intersected in previously reported drill hole LE18-01A – the Hurricane zone.  \n\n \n \n\n \nPlanned Drilling Program Highlights\nThe follow-up drill program is planned to begin in early January, is fully funded and consists of 4,500 metres of drilling in 10 drill holes Initial drill holes will be 12.5 metre step-outs on section with drill hole LE18-01A Subsequent drill holes will step out along strike 25-50 metres in both directionsThe discovery drill hole LE18-01A was completed on the 100% owned Larocque East property (the \"Property\") in the Eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan in July.  A broad, 8.5-metre-long interval of elevated radioactivity (see news release dated July 25, 2018) averages 1.26% U3O8 (above a cutoff of 0.1% U3O8) and includes a zone of off-scale radioactivity (>15,000 cps on an SRAT SPP2 scintillometer (the \"SPP2\")) that averages 6.45% U3O8 over 1.0 metre.  Figure 1 shows the location of the Larocque East property and the Hurricane zone.  \nSteve Blower, Vice President, Exploration commented: \"The geology and geochemistry at the Hurricane zone suggest that the mineralization intersected in drill hole LE18-01A may extend in several directions.  Our approach to the follow-up drilling scheduled for January, 2019 will be thorough and systematic to ensure that we understand the controls on mineralization and maximize our chance of success.\"\nPlanned Drilling ProgramDrilling is planned to commence in January, 2019 after freeze-up in the Athabasca Basin allows ground access to the property.  Initial...
