IsoEnergy and Purepoint Extend High-Grade Mineralization at the Dorado JV with a 70 Metre Step-Out Peaking at 110,800 CPS

TORONTO, July 23, 2025 /CNW / - IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSE American: ISOU) (TSX: ISO) ("IsoEnergy") and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTC: PTUUF) ("Purepoint") are pleased to report continued strong results from drilling at their 50/50 Dorado joint venture project (" Dorado" or the " Project"), located in Saskatchewan's world-class Athabasca Basin (Figure 1). The most recent drill hole, PG25-07A, stepped out approximately 70 metres northeast of the "Nova Discovery" intercepts at the Q48 target area and returned stronger mineralization, with an average of 11,100 counts per second (CPS) measured on a Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole radiometric probe across a much wider interval of 14.0 metres, including a peak reading of 110,800 CPS. The recent Nova Discovery results further define the mineralized trend at the Q48 target as a steeply dipping, uranium-bearing structure hosted within the basement rocks, underscoring the potential scale and strength of the system emerging at Dorado. All assays from the current program, including holes PG25-04 and PG25-05, are pending on a rush basis and will be disclosed once available. Highlights PG25-07A intersected a continuation of the Nova Discovery uranium basement hosted mineralization approximately 70 metres northeast of PG25-05 and 60 metres below the unconformity, averaging 11,100 CPS over 14.0 metres with a peak of 110,100 CPS. The Nova Discovery mineralization at Q48 remains open to the northeast, the direction of increasing radioactivity, but wet marsh ground conditions currently prevent further drilling in that direction. Follow-up drilling is expected to resume this winter, when frozen ground allows for more efficient land-based access. The drill rig has now been mobilized to the Turaco target, located approximately 8 km northeast of the Q48 target within the Dorado project. Up to four holes are planned at Turaco as part of the 5,400-metre drill program approved by the joint venture partners for 2025. "The recent Nova Discovery results underscore just how much potential remains at Dorado," said Chris Frostad, President and CEO of Purepoint Uranium. "PG25-07A has successfully extended the Nova Discovery zone by 70 metres and delivered our strongest intercept to date, both in intensity and thickness based on radioactivity. The systematic way we've approached Q48 is paying off, and we expect the next phase of drilling will push this discovery even further." "The results from PG25-07A mark a significant leap forward for our new Nova discovery," added Philip Williams, CEO and Director of IsoEnergy. "This step-out hole shows that the mineralized structure continues northeast and that the grades and thickness are improving as we move along the trend. While we have had to pause advancement in this direction due to ground conditions, we are eager to return this winter to continue following what we believe is shaping up to be an exciting discovery." DDHs PG25-06 and PG25-07A Drill hole PG25-06 targeted the brittle fault associated with mineralization (Figure 1) at the unconformity approximately 20 metres northeast of initial drilling (Figure 2). The drill hole was collared with a dip of -64 degrees and encountered Athabasca sandstone to a depth of 316 metres. Granitic gneiss displaying paleoweathering alteration was drilled to 341 metres then generally unaltered granite, pegmatites and pelitic gneiss was drilled to the completion depth of 482 metres. Projection of the Nova Discovery zone mineralization suggests the radioactive sandstone interval of 1,040 cps over 2.3 metres in the Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole gamma probe (Table 1), which occurs within core lost between 312.4 to 314.0m, is related to the primary mineralized structure. Hole PG25-07A was collared from the PG25-04 drill pad and initial deviation resulted in a large 70 metre step out to the northeast of the PG25-05 mineralized intercept. The unconformity was intersected at a depth of 322 metres and the drill hole intercepted the radioactive structure approximately 40 metres up-dip of PG25-04. From the unconformity, granitic gneiss with pegmatitic intervals was encountered to a depth of 392 metres that was initially clay altered for 5 metres, weakly chlorite altered for 20 meters, unaltered for 36 metres, then became chloritized and silicified for 9 metres. Chloritized pelitic gneiss was drilled from 392 to 441 metres, unaltered graphitic and pyritic pelitic gneiss to 459 metres, followed by unaltered granitic gneiss and pegmatites with minor pelitic gneiss to the completion depth of 548 metres. The PG25-07A Nova zone mineralization starts within granitic gneiss at 382.3 metres and extends into pelitic gneiss to a depth of 396.3 metres returning an average of 11,100 cps over 14.0 metres. A primary mineralized structure of the Nova zone is hosted in sheared, reddish-brown altered granitic gneiss with pitchblende that returned an average of 82,300 cps over 0.6 metres with a peak of 110,800 cps. A second strongly mineralized interval occurs within lost pelitic gneiss core and returned an average of 46,000 cps over 0.4 metres. * See Qualified Person Statement below. Table 1: Downhole Gamma Results of Drill Holes PG25-06 and 07A Note: Mt. Sopris 2PGA probe used to record downhole gamma readings Q48 Target Area The Q48 zone lies within the southern portion of the Project and is characterized by a steeply dipping, north-south trending conductive package identified through geophysical surveys. Historic drilling in the area intersected strongly altered and structurally disrupted rocks at the unconformity and in the basement, including garnetiferous pelitic gneiss, graphitic pelitic gneiss, and semipelite, with local weak radioactivity and zones of intense clay alteration. These results, combined with the geophysical response, highlighted Q48 as a highly prospective but underexplored target. Drilling by IsoEnergy in 2022 confirmed that the conductive trend at Q48 hosts brittle faults, shears, and alteration, characteristics of uranium-bearing hydrothermal systems in the Athabasca Basin. The current program is designed to systematically follow-up and fully test the Q48 conductive corridor. Turaco Target Area The Turaco zone lies within the central portion of the Project and is characterized by a broad area with high conductivity. Although numerous geophysical surveys have been conducted, including airborne electromagnetics (VTEM), ground EM, induced polarization and gravity, previous drilling has failed to properly explain the interpreted EM conductors. A recent review of the geophysical results by Condor Consulting North of Vancouver, BC has selected alternative EM conductor picks that better explain the conductive responses and used Maxwell Modeling to accurately locate the position of discreet conductors. Drilling will commence at one of the high priority target areas identified by Condor. About the Dorado JV Project Dorado (Figure 3) is the flagship project of the IsoEnergy-Purepoint 50/50 joint venture, a partnership encompassing more than 98,000 hectares of prime uranium exploration ground. The Project includes the former Turnor Lake, Geiger, Edge, and Full Moon properties, all underlain by graphite-bearing lithologies and fault structures favorable for uranium deposition. Recent drilling by IsoEnergy east of the Hurricane Deposit has intersected strongly elevated radioactivity in multiple holes. The anomalous radioactivity confirms the continuity of fertile graphitic rock package and further highlights the opportunity for additional high-grade discoveries across the region. The shallow unconformity depths across the Dorado property—typically between 30 and 300 metres—allow for highly efficient drilling and rapid follow-up on results. * See Qualified Person Statement below. Gamma Logging and Geochemical Assaying A Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole total gamma probe was utilized for radiometric surveying. The total gamma results provided in Table 1 were selected using a cutoff of 500 cps over a 0.5 metre width. All drill intercepts are core width and true thickness is yet to be determined. Core samples are submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon. The SRC facility is independent of IsoEnergy and PurePoint and is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (scope of accreditation #537). The samples are analyzed for a multi-element suite using partial and total digestion inductively coupled plasma methods, for boron by Na2O2 fusion, and for uranium by fluorimetry.

("IsoEnergy" or the "Company") (NYSE: ISOU) (TSX: ISO) is pleased to announce the commencement of its summer exploration program across its eastern Athabasca Basin uranium properties. The program is expected to encompass a total of 24 diamond drill holes for 11,000 metres of drilling on the Larocque East and Hawk projects, following up on encouraging results from the winter 2025 program at Larocque East and winter 2024 program at Hawk. Geochemical results from the winter program at Larocque East remain pending and are planned to be released once available. Highlights Larocque East Project (Figure 1) A total of 20 diamond drill holes totaling 7,600 metres are planned to follow-up up on encouraging results from the winter 2025 program, targeting both resource expansion and regional discovery. Hurricane Resource Expansion – Drilling will continue to test the potential of the Hurricane Main and South trends, focusing on step-outs near the existing deposit (the " Deposit") (Figure 1). Greenfield Targets Along the Larocque Trend – Drilling will test Target Area D, 2.8 kilometres east of the Deposit, where the Company intersected the strongest radioactivity to date outside of the main mineral resource area. Additional drilling is planned at Target E, where summer 2024 drilling intersected elevated radioactivity and hydrothermal alteration near the unconformity and, Target F. Target K, located approximately 800 metres north of the main Hurricane conductor, identified in a new geophysical interpretation will also be drill tested along the 2,500 metre trend. Hawk Project 4 diamond drill holes totaling 3,400 metres are planned to target coincident electromagnetic conductors and Ambient Noise Tomography (" ANT") velocity anomalies along a sparsely drill-tested, 12-kilometre-long prospective corridor. Previous drilling intersected structural disruption, alteration, and elevated uranium geochemistry and radiometric responses, features consistent with a setting conducive to unconformity-style uranium mineralization (Figure 3). Saskatchewan Forest Fire Situation Mobilization for the drill program has been impacted due to severe forest fire activity in Northern Saskatchewan. The program is initially operating with one drill based out of Points North. Once conditions improve, specifically when the fires near La Ronge and along Highway 102 subside and safe transport routes are restored, the Larocque East camp is expected to be opened, and a second drill is planned to be deployed to accelerate the program. Advancing Exploration Pipeline Across the Eastern Athabasca Basin Additional work is planned this summer to advance a pipeline of exploration targets across the Company's earlier-stage projects. This includes a recently completed helicopter-borne MobileMT survey at the East Rim project, acquisition and processing of satellite hyperspectral data for the Bulyea River project, and potential prospecting, sampling, and mapping at the Bulyea River, East Rim and Evergreen projects (Figure 4). Dan Brisbin, Vice President Exploration, commented, "Our summer 2024 and winter 2025 drilling returned encouraging results at both Hurricane and along the Larocque trend, with strong radioactivity having been intersected. As we await geochemistry results for recent drilling, we are excited to pick up where we left off and continue advancing the potential for resource expansion along the main and south trends and additional discoveries along the 6-kilometre segment of the Hurricane trend to the east, particularly in target areas D and E. We are also eager to test, for the first time, the 2,500-metre trend located 800 metres north of the main conductor, an area that shares key geophysical characteristics with the Deposit. Lastly, we look forward to returning to the relatively underexplored Hawk project, where planned ground electromagnetic (" EM") and ANT surveys will guide drilling later this summer." Resource Expansion Drilling at Hurricane Following the success of the 2025 winter drill program (see news release dated April 23, 2025), exploration drilling has been proposed to further test several target areas (Figure 2). The Hurricane Main trend, where winter drill holes LE25-194 and 198 intersected strong radioactivity. LE25-194, located 80 metres east of Hurricane, returned an average RS-125 spectrometer (" RS-125") reading on core of 3,100 counts per second (" cps") over 0.5 metres with a corresponding downhole probe maximum reading of 30,829 cps. LE25-198 intersected up to 625 cps on core and 26,503 cps downhole probe 180 metres east of Hurricane. The Hurricane South trend, where winter drill holes LE25-207 and LE25-210 intersected strong radioactivity. Hole LE25-207, located 240 m east of Hurricane, returned an average RS-125 reading on over 0.5 metres on core of 8,800 cps and a corresponding downhole probe maximum reading of 30,096 cps, while LE25-210, drilled 480 metres east of Hurricane, intersected up to 3,700 cps averaged over 0.5 m on core and a corresponding downhole probe maximum reading of 20,280 cps. Regional Targets on the Larocque Trend Target Area D, 2.8 kilometres east of Hurricane, where winter drill hole LE25-202 intersected an average RS-125 reading on over 0.5 metres on core of 6,200 cps and up to 28,782 cps downhole probe within that interval – the highest radioactivity intersected on the project to date outside of the immediate Hurricane area. The LE25-202 intersection is on the western margin Target Area D at edge of an ANT seismic velocity anomaly where a new geophysical model generated earlier this year by Computational Geosciences Inc. and Convolutions Geoscience shows a potential splay in the Hurricane trend EM conductor package. Target Area E is centred on a 1 kilometre by 2 kilometre ANT anomaly located 8 kilometre east of Hurricane at the eastern edge of the property where the 2025 conductivity model suggests an east-closing fold of the Hurricane host graphitic-pyritic pelite basement gneisses have been breached by east-northeast striking faults. Drill hole LE24-192, drilled in 2024, intersected 2.0 metres at 495 ppm U-p straddling the unconformity including 0.5 metres at 1,110 ppm U-p immediately below the unconformity. Drill hole LE24-180 returned 462 ppm U-p over 0.5 m. Unconformity depth in that hole was only 175 metres compared to 325 metres at the Hurricane deposit. Target Area F, located in the northeast, is centered on the conductor corridor and aligns with roughly coincident resistivity and ANT velocity anomalies. Disruption of these geophysical patterns at the east end of Target Area F is inferred to reflect prospective structural complexity. The new geophysical model generated earlier this year by Computational Geosciences Inc. and Convolutions Geoscience from joint inversion of historic EM and resistivity survey data highlighted a previously unexplored 2,500 metres long conductive trend 800 metres north of the main Hurricane conductor trend. This is interpreted as the eastern extension of the Hurricane conductor trend northern splay that originates near drill hole LE25-202. This target, referred to herein as Target Area K, exhibits two geophysical features like those at Hurricane: a flexure from a northeast trend to and east trend, and a conductivity decrease on the southwest end potentially due to the effects of alteration on the conductive host rocks. The drilling program will be results driven, with drilling being reallocated among these target areas in response to mineralized intercepts. Drilling planned to begin at the Hawk project in August may also be reallocated to the Larocque East project if results warrant. Hawk Project Winter 2024 drill holes at the Hawk project intersected structure, alteration, and broad zones of elevated radioactivity typical of unconformity-related uranium deposits (see news release dated April 25, 2024). These holes were drilled to test EM conductors along a regional high conductivity trend mapped by Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (" ZTEM") surveys and within a prominent ANT seismic velocity low interpreted to be due to structural disruption and alteration. The holes were drilled along trend to the north of 2023 drill holes HK23-03 and HK23-05A (Figure 3) that intersected structural disruption, desilicification, clay alteration, and "grey" zone sulphide mineralization with anomalous radioactivity and U-p geochemistry at the unconformity. Drill hole HK23-05A returned 168 ppm U-p over 2.0 metres in the basal sandstone including 511 ppm U-p over 0.5 metres immediately above the unconformity. HK23-08, which intersected the unconformity about 90 metres to the east, intersected 27 ppm U-p over 5.0 metres in the basal sandstone, including 99 ppm U-p over 0.5 m. Exploration work planned for summer 2025 includes: Stepwise moving loop EM surveying to more accurately locate conductors than the existing fixed loop EM surveys do. It is anticipated that this will improve drill hole targeting. ANT surveys over the northern portion of the project to test for the extension of the existing ANT velocity anomaly along the conductivity corridor in an area where there is 35 metres of unconformity elevation change between 2023 drill holes HK23-01 and HK23-02. Drill up to 3,400 metres in four holes to test targets along the Hawk conductivity corridor that will be finalized upon completion of the ground geophysical surveys. Developing Drill Targets on Additional Highly Ranked Projects Additional work is being planned for the summer of 2025 to develop a pipeline of exploration targets on the Company's earlier stage projects. An airborne MobileMT conductivity and magnetic survey was recently completed over the East Rim project. Data processing and interpretation are in progress. Acquisition of satellite hyperspectral survey data for the Bulyea River project is planned for June. This data will be used for remote mineral mapping to help guide initial geological mapping, prospecting and sampling planned for late summer to follow up on historic highly anomalous uranium lake sediment geochemistry and radiometric anomalies detected by both historic and 2024 surveys completed for IsoEnergy by RAMP Geological Services Inc.
