The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index retreated by 4.11 points or 0.7% over the Aug. 21-25 trading session, ending at 581.23. Uranium explorer IsoEnergy was the week's top value gainer, closing 65 cents per share higher at $3.51. While the company has been quietly working in the field on its eastern Athabasca prospects in Saskatchewan, its shares have been buoyed by positive momentum in uranium prices. On June 19, IsoEnergy outlined its summer exploration plans for 1,100 metres of diamond drilling at the Hurricane deposit to test areas identified with potential for resource expansion. The company also plans to conduct diamond drilling at the Larocque East, Ranger, and Hawk projects, totalling 4,700 metres. Geophysical work will also be conducted at Hurricane and at the East Rim, Trident, Collins Bay Extension, and Full Moon projects.
