- Targets Focused Within Shadow of Past-Producing Mine
- Meet Management at Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Convention June 13 - 15


Vancouver, June 8, 2022 - CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) ("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its partner, Metal Energy, has started a phase two 10,000 metre drill program on the Manibridge high-grade nickel project in the Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba (Figure 1). Drilling will be focused within the shadow of the past-producing Manibridge Nickel Mine that produced 1.3 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.55% nickel and 0.27% copper from 1971 to 1977.

Thirty-three drill holes, for a total of 10,000 metres, are planned within 600 metres of the past-producing Manibridge high-grade nickel mine. The program will consist of a series of drill fans along 50-metre spaced drill setups designed to characterize the nickel-copper sulphide mineralization and geology of the mineral system.

The planned program will follow up on the results of a recently completed six drillhole program operated by CanAlaska in the spring of 2022 where disseminated and remobilized nickel-copper sulphide mineralization was intersected in all six drillholes. Occurrences of massive and net-textured sulphides were documented in several holes and intense serpentinization alteration of the sulphide-bearing ultramafic host rocks was also noted. A handheld portable Niton XRF confirms the presence of nickel and copper within the sulphide-bearing intervals and assays are pending.

The summer 2022 drilling program is being solely funded by the current operator, Metal Energy Corp., as part of a staged earn-in option agreement. CanAlaska currently holds a 51% interest in the project.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, "The phase one drilling program completed this past winter had a 100% success rate intersecting nickel mineralization highlighting the potential of the Manibridge area to host additional significant high-grade nickel. The phase two program is designed to continue to build on this initial success and take this project to the next level of understanding. This work is well-timed in a nickel market that continues to strengthen and build momentum. The Thompson Nickel Belt is a great place to find high-grade sulphide nickel deposits and CanAlaska's shareholders are starting to benefit from our project generator activity in Manitoba. We look forward to the next results from Metal Energy's summer program."
