Denison delineates well-defined conductive corridor west of Phoenix-Gryphon uranium deposits
First drill hole intercepts uranium at southern end of CR-3 trend
Three additional targets defined
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 17, 2020) -
CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:
CVV
) (OTCQB:
CVVUF
)
(FSE:
DH7N
)
("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from winter field operations by JV operator
Denison on the Moon Joint Venture.
For this program, 126 kilometre of SWML Electromagnetic survey was undertaken to define
the 5 kilometre long ground expression of the CR-3 conductor. In 2016, the first drill hole into this horizon successfully intercepted
uranium mineralization at the unconformity (see news Dec 6, 2016
News Dec 2016
). The target had previously been identified
by airborne surveys and an earlier reconnaissance ground geophysical survey. Denison has now completed its option to earn a
75% interest in the property and form the Joint Venture by completing the winter program.

The CR-3 conductor is a southwest-northeast trending conductor that is currently under evaluation at Denison's adjacent
Crawford Lake property. The CR-3 conductor is interpreted to be a parallel trend to the K-Zone, host to Denison's Gryphon
deposit on the Wheeler River Project (Figure 1).

In drill hole MS-16-01 the lower 50 metres of sandstone above the unconformity was moderately altered and structurally
disrupted with pyrite nodules up to 4 centimetres in size. Directly above the unconformity there was uranium mineralization (0.5
metres of 0.102% U
3
O
8
) followed by a graphitic unit in the basement.
This graphitic unit is thought to be the extension of the CR-
3 conductor (Figure 2).
CanAlaska President, Peter Dasler, comments,
"The Moon property benefits from the extensive infrastructure of the existing
mines and mills in the eastern Athabasca.
We are very pleased
that Denison's work program during their Option has been so
productive. The mineralization and targets that we now see can be tied to similar mineralized zones on the adjacent
properties, and this gives us great encouragement for further success."
