CanAlaska Identifies Uranium Targets in

15 Kilometre Strongly Conductive Target Corridor Identified
Corridor Mirrors Saskatoon Lake Conductor - Host to the Large Shea Creek Uranium Deposits

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.

("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that compilation work on the Company's newly acquired Carswell project, totalling 13,352
hectares, in the western Athabasca Basin has identified a conductive structural corridor which joins the
Beatty River Fault zone to the Carswell structure (Figures 1 & 2). The conductive corridor wraps around a
large magnetic-high body, which on the opposite side of the magnetic feature, is mirrored by the
Saskatoon Lake conductor. The Saskatoon Lake conductor is host to the high-grade Shea Creek
uranium deposits. The Company is completing further compilation of the newly acquired Carswell project
and is actively seeking Joint Venture partners.

CanAlaska's Carswell project is located 15 km east of the Shea Creek deposits, owned by Orano
Canada and UEX Corporation. The Shea Creek deposits are located along the Saskatoon Lake
Conductor, which runs perpendicular to the Beatty River Fault zone, connecting it to the Carswell
Structure. The apparent connection between the Beatty River Fault zone and the Carswell structure along
these perpendicular conductive corridors in the Saskatoon Lake conductor and on the Carswell project
presents a compelling exploration target. The Shea Creek deposits consist of four deposits of
unconformity- and basement-hosted uranium mineralization, which combined host 95 million lbs of U

O

at an average grade of 1.47%. The Shea Creek deposits form one of the largest undeveloped uranium
resources in the Athabasca Basin.

CanAlaska's Carswell project covers 15 km of a 24 km long magnetic low, coincident with a conductive
corridor, that runs along the eastern edge of a large magnetic-high body. Along the western edge of the
same large magnetic-high body, the Saskatoon Lake conductor runs through a similar broad magnetic
low. The presence of conductive corridors along the edges of magnetic high features creates a strong
competency contrast that is important in the formation of large structural traps host to unconformity-
hosted uranium deposits. The mirror analog between Shea Creek on the western edge of the magnetic
feature and the Carswell project along the eastern edge of the same magnetic feature provides potential
for similar brittle fault re-activation and the development of structural traps on the Carswell project.
CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments,
"Further compilation work by the CanAlaska team has
identified a geological scenario that is very important in the formation of tier 1 uranium deposits in the
Athabasca Basin providing an immediate target corridor for future exploration. We look forward to
finding a joint venture partner to help advance this project toward discovery."
