VANCOUVER, June 28, 2018 /CNW/ - IsoEnergy Ltd.
("IsoEnergy" or the "Company") (TSXV: ISO; OTCQX: ISENF) is pleased to announce that it has begun a program
of follow-up core drilling targeting uranium mineralization at its 100% owned Geiger property (the "Property") in the
Eastern Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan.
The Property
The Geiger property is located 13 kilometres northwest of IsoEnergy's Radio property near several uranium deposits, mines and
mills. The Roughrider and Midwest deposits are both within 20 kilometres of the Property, as is Orano's McClean Lake uranium mine and mill.
Geiger is adjacent to the Wollaston-Mudjatik transition zone, a major crustal-scale structural zone related to most of the
major uranium deposits in the eastern Athabasca Basin. Sandstone cover at the Property is thin and ranges between 101
metres and 358 metres. High grade basement hosted uranium mineralization is present on the Property and it is the primary
focus of IsoEnergy's exploration efforts. Historic drill hole HL-50 intersected 2.74% U3O8 over 1.2
metres in the basement on the H11 South conductor. Follow-up drilling completed by IsoEnergy in February of this year
encountered a thick zone of weak uranium mineralization at the sub-Athabasca unconformity in
drill hole GG18-09, 50 metres along strike to the southwest of drill hole HL‑50. This intersection contained 0.03%
U3O8, 2,600 ppm Cu, 998 ppm Ni, 943 ppm Zn and 2.4 g/t Ag over 15.0 metres (207.0-222.0 metres). The
long interval includes individual samples with up to 14,700 ppm Cu, 3,130 ppm Ni, 407 ppm Co, 3,670 ppm Zn and 6.4 g/t
Ag.,
Additionally, historic drill hole HL-76 was completed 1.6 kilometres along strike to the northeast along the same conductor as
HL-50 and intersected 0.65% U3O8 over 0.1 metres. Mineralization in HL-76 is located in the basement
and is part of a broader 27 metre thick zone of strong alteration and elevated geochemistry. Follow-up drilling by
IsoEnergy in February of this year intersected 2.0 metres (271.2-273.2 metres) of 0.11% U3O8, 2,227 ppm V,
580 ppm Ni, 407 ppm Co, and 1.5 g/t Ag in drill hole GG18-08. The interval includes 0.2 metres (271.2-271.4 metres) of
0.35% U3O8, 9,320 ppm V, 2,060 ppm Ni, 1,560 ppm Co, and 5.9 g/t Ag.
The Program
The planned drilling program consists of 2,800 metres of core drilling in eight drill holes. There are two target areas
in the general vicinity of the mineralization observed in drill holes GG18-08 and GG18-09, described above. The drilling
areas are shown on the map in Figure 1. Targets along strike to the southwest of GG18-09 and northeast of GG18‑08 will be
prioritized. One drill hole will also be completed on the newly acquired Larocque East
property in an area of weak mineralization drilled by previous operators. Drilling operations are expected to be complete
by the end of July, 2018.
Qualified Person Statement
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was prepared by Steve
Blower, P.Geo., IsoEnergy's Vice President, Exploration, who is a "qualified person" (as defined in National Instrument

release refers to properties other than those in which the Company has an interest. Mineralization on those other properties is
not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company's properties.

Forward-Looking Information
The information contained herein contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. "Forward-looking information" includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the activities, events or
developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including, without limitation, planned
exploration activities and completion of the acquisition of the Property. Generally, but not always, forward-looking information
and statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled",
"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or the negative connotation thereof or variations of such words
and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be
achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.
Such forward-looking information and statements are based on numerous assumptions, including among others, that the results
of planned exploration activities are as anticipated, the price of uranium, the anticipated cost of planned exploration
activities, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be
available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third party contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental and
other approvals required to conduct the Company's planned exploration activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a
timely manner and that the acquisition of the Property will be completed on the terms currently agreed to. Although the
assumptions made by the Company in providing forward-looking information or making forward-looking statements are considered
reasonable by management at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate.
Forward-looking information and statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which
may cause actual events or results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future events or results
expressed or implied by such forward-looking information or statements, including, among others: negative operating cash flow and
dependence on third party financing, uncertainty of additional financing, no known mineral reserves or resources, the limited
operating history of the Company, the influence of a large shareholder, alternative sources of energy and uranium prices,
aboriginal title and consultation issues, reliance on key management and other personnel, actual results of exploration
activities being different than anticipated, changes in exploration programs based upon results, availability of third party
contractors, availability of equipment and supplies, failure of equipment to operate as anticipated; accidents, effects of
weather and other natural phenomena and other risks associated with the mineral exploration industry, environmental risks,
changes in laws and regulations, community relations and delays in obtaining governmental or other approvals.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in the forward-looking information or implied by forward-looking information, there may be other factors that
cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information and
statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated,
estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or reissue forward-looking information as a result of new information or events
except as required by applicable securities laws
