(TSXV: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) (\"CanAlaska or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has received and processed the results of an airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (\"VTEM Plus\") and Horizontal Magnetic Gradiometer geophysical survey on its 100%-owned Hunter project in the Thompson Nickel Belt (Figure 1). Preliminary evaluation of the geophysical survey has identified several target areas within the Hunter Project (Figure 2). The survey was completed by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario and consisted of 882 line-kms of surveying.

The project area was explored by a variety of companies from the 1950's to 2000's, which led to the discovery of the Mel nickel deposit, located immediately to the east of the project. In addition, historical drill intersections on the property and in the surrounding claims have high-grade nickel sulphide mineralization associated with ultramafic rocks within Ospwagan Group metasediments. The Ospwagan Group metasediments, specifically the Pipe Formation, are host to the world-class Thompson Nickel Deposit.Figure 2 – Hunter Project Geophysical Survey Results and Priority Target AreasTo view an enhanced version of Figure 2, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2864/134175_7cbabfcfd4869b50_004full.jpgThe Company's newly completed VTEM Plus survey shows a good correlation between the interpreted geology and geophysical survey data, both in the electromagnetic and magnetic responses. The survey highlights NE-SW magnetic lineament trends associated with variably conductive electromagnetic responses, interpreted to represent Ospwagan Group metasediments and associated ultramafics. In addition, the survey identified geophysical signatures that may suggest more Ospwagan...
