("IsoEnergy", or the "Company") (NYSE American: ISOU) (TSX: ISO) is pleased to announce assay results from its recently completed 2026 winter exploration drilling program at the Larocque East project (the " Project "), home to the high-grade Hurricane deposit (" Hurricane " or the " Deposit "), in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Canada. The results include high-grade uranium mineralization intersected within the newly reinterpreted fault zone along the Hurricane South Trend, highlighting the potential to expand mineralization beyond the current resource footprint.

Figure 1 – 2026 winter drill holes in the Hurricane Deposit area.

Mineralization highlights are U3O8 for mineralized 2026 drill holes (>350 cps / 0.5 m measured with an RS-125 spectrometer) and for selected pre-2026 drill holes referred to in the text. (CNW Group/IsoEnergy Ltd.) Figure 2 – Hurricane deposit cross section 4485E showing location of strong uranium mineralization intersected at the unconformity in 2026 drill hole LE26-248 along the newly reinterpreted L Fault Zone within the Hurricane South Trend. The cross section is drawn looking east and depicts geology from approximately 100 m above the unconformity to approximately 150 m below the unconformity. LE26-248 intersected 11.61% U3O8 over 1.0 m in a portion of the deposit previously modelled as low-grade mineralization (Figure 1, Table 2). (CNW Group/IsoEnergy Ltd.) Table 2: Comparison of uranium geochemistry results with RS-125 spectrometry radiometry results for seven winter 2026 drill holes in which continuous split core sampling was done in sample intervals in which radioactivity exceeded 350 cps over 0.5 m (as an average of three measurements with the RS-125 in each 0.5 m interval). (CNW Group/IsoEnergy Ltd.) Hurricane hosts a current Mineral Resource of 48.6 Mlb U 3 O 8 at 34.5% U 3 O 8 Indicated, and 2.7 Mlb U 3 O 8 at 2.2% U 3 O 8 Inferred (See "Qualified Person Statement" below).

The Project benefits from excellent infrastructure, located approximately 40 km northwest of the McClean Lake mill, and features relatively shallow mineralization at approximately 325 m depth, supporting efficient exploration and future development optionality. The Deposit is located on the Larocque Trend, an important regional structure that also hosts other notable high-grade occurrences including those on Cameco and Orano's Dawn Lake joint venture. Highlights High-grade assays returned from hole LE26-248, 4.21% U 3 O 8 over 3.5 m, including 11.61% U 3 O 8 over 1.0 m (Figures 1 and 2).

Additional notable intercepts include 2.75% U 3 O 8 over 0.5 m in LE26-234 and 1.75% U 3 O 8 over 0.5 m in LE26-243 on the Hurricane South Trend (Figure 1, Table 1). Assay results confirm previously reported radioactivity ( see news release dated April 7, 2026 ), validating uranium mineralization along the Hurricane South Trend, and continue to demonstrate strong potential for expansion beyond the current resource footprint. Follow-up summer drill program planned with approximately 8,000 metres across 20 holes, focused on targeting the highly prospective Hurricane South Trend.

Dan Brisbin, Vice President of Exploration, stated, "The LE26-248 intersection is important as it is located along the southernmost known fault strands within the Hurricane fault zone, where drill hole density is lower than on faults to the north that host the high-grade Hurricane uranium mineralization. This intersection, along with mineralization intersected in step-out holes to the east like LE26-243 and LE26-234, highlights the potential along the Hurricane South Trend. We look forward to further testing this mineralized trend in the summer and our Project team is well advanced in program planning".

Operational Update Regarding Northern Saskatchewan Flooding IsoEnergy's operations at the Larocque East Project are not currently impacted by the ongoing flooding in northern Saskatchewan. We are monitoring the situation closely. Our thoughts are with the communities affected across the region.

Qualified Person Statement The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was reviewed and approved by Dr. Dan Brisbin, P.Geo., IsoEnergy's Vice President, Exploration, who is a "Qualified Person" (as defined in NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ). See the April 6, 2026 press release for information on quality assurance/quality control procedures, as well as the complete exploration results from the previous programs disclosed herein. Dr. Brisbin has verified the data disclosed herein.

Data verification procedures included comparing radioactivity measured on core with the RS-125 spectrometer to radioactivity measured downhole with the 2PGA probe, comparing RS-125 data to cps values marked on core boxes in core photos, and checking reported composite lengths and cps values.
