(TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) (\"CanAlaska\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has commenced a high-resolution helicopter-borne aeromagnetics and radiometrics survey on it's strategically located Key Extension project in the Athabasca Basin (Figure 1). The property-wide magnetics and radiometrics survey will be used in conjunction with the recently completed ground gravity survey and previous compilation work to prioritize a ground-based summer prospecting program. In addition, the Company is pleased to report that it has received approved exploration work permits to conduct diamond drilling and additional ground-based geophysical surveys on the project. Figure 1 – Key Extension Property Location Map To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2864/129077_a823a27f04b71ac3_002full.jpgThe Key Extension project is located approximately 10 km from the Key Lake Mine and Mill complex, along the main provincial Highway. Based on the geology and geophysics, the main fault system which controls the Key Lake uranium deposits is interpreted to trend through the centre of the property. Historical work on the project has identified electromagnetic conductors associated with uranium boulder and outcrop samples. The Project lands have undergone minimal drill testing despite the prolonged regional exploration around the Key Lake deposit discoveries and mining in the area. The Company recently completed a ground gravity survey on the northeastern claim block that identified large, prominent, and discrete gravity low anomalies (Figure 2). The discovery of these gravity anomalies associated with the electromagnetic conductors and the geological interpretation provide a strong impetus for drill testing on the project. The new airborne survey will add finer details to the targets and should assist in determining the extent of the uranium bearing boulders identified from historical prospecting.  Figure 2 – Key Extension Ground Gravity Survey Result...
