(TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) (\"CanAlaska\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report final laboratory assays for the high-grade sulphide nickel mineralization intercepted in the winter drill program at Manibridge, Manitoba. All four holes on the North Manibridge Zone returned upgraded assay results and lengths, with high-grade nickel up to 12.06% over 0.95 metre contained within semi-massive and disseminated sulphide mineralization.Descriptions of the mineralized intervals were reported in a news release March 7, 2019. The following table shows the re-assay data. The drilling intersected nickel mineralization within a broad fold structure, 2.5 kilometres north of the past-producing high-grade Manibridge nickel mine. Multiple high-grade nickel assays necessitated re-assay of sections of core from all drill holes, with the key intercepts as listed in Table 1 below: Hole IDFrommetresTometresLength metresNi %Cu %Co %19MB01131.00132.251.253.330.160.04and135.55141.005.451.050.130.01 19MB02128.05134.606.552.750.130.03including128.05129.000.9512.060.170.12 19MB03133.83135.942.114.520.130.06including133.83135.311.486.130.150.08and138.72143.504.781.240.050.02 19MB0486.60 87.75 1.15 3.30 0.50 0.04 including87.2087.750.556.790.560.09  Review of mine data:Mine data indicates and reports that there is potential for other nickel mineralized lenses within the immediate mine area, as well as within the surrounding property package.The Manibridge nickel deposit consisted of a high-grade \"Zone A\" that provided the main ore feed and a lower grade \"Zone B\". The Zone A mineralization sits on the hanging wall of the ultramafic and within the upper ultramafic; the Zone B mineralization is below Zone A and near the center of the ultramafic body. Both zones appear to be lost southwest of the mine shaft. Zone A was cut-off by a fault below the 6th level of the mine.The 600 metre long exploration drift to the north on level 5 was to test for another high grade zone that had been intersected from surface drill hole W50-88.
