(TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) (\"CanAlaska\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report results from Cameco's winter drill program at the 5 kilometre long Grid 5 target area at the West McArthur uranium project. Cameco's drilling concentrated on developing an overall view of the geology and alteration between hole WMA047, located 1.4 kilometres to the southwest of the uranium mineralization in hole WMA042, through to hole WMA050 located 800 metres to the northeast, see Figure1.Key Points:New TDEM conductor along holes WMA048 and WMA050 in large magnetic embaymentTwo other graphitic conductors to the south, with complex basement offsets Large offset near mineralized holes WMA042 and WMA42-2 not yet intersected.New uranium mineralization in WMA045 and anomalous values in WMA048The follow-up drill hole to mineralization intersected in drill hole WMA042 targeted the unconformity 100 metres to the southeast, but did not intersect the structural offset, however the next drill hole 300 metres to the northeast intercepted further uranium mineralization. Additional drill holes over a two kilometre trend also intercepted encouraging alteration and additional graphitic horizons. Of the seven drill holes completed this winter, six had significant faulting and alteration and one was mineralized (WMA045) see Table 1. Drill location and technical details are available with tables and maps at www.canalaska.comTable 1: WMA045 U3O8 Assay Grades (0.1% U3O8 cut-off)Hole NumberDepth From (m)Depth To (m)Length (m)Average Grade (%U3O8)Max Grade (%U3O8)GT (m%)WMA045775.2778.02.80.100.170.28WMA045780.0781.01.00.130.140.13 Elevation changes:The drilling outlines a broadly curving graphitic rock package, with basement elevations of -165 to - 178 metres ASL in the north, separated from elevations of -193 to -201 metres ASL elevation in the south. More detailed correlation of the surface geophysics with drill information is underway. The targets are associated with a large magnetic embayment and a strong ZTEM conductive anomaly.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:http://orders.newsfilecorp.com/f...
