(TSXV: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) (\"CanAlaska\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce completion of a high-resolution airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (\"VTEM Plus\") survey on it's 60%-owned Geikie project in the Athabasca Basin (Figure 1). The purpose of the VTEM Plus survey was to identify basement conductors, characterize lithological and alteration variations, refine the structural setting, and prioritize drill targets for the Geikie project. Preliminary survey results confirm the objectives have been met, with multiple target areas identified that consist of conductive anomalies associated with regional-scale fault structures (Figure 2). The survey was completed by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario and consisted of 1,399 line-kms of surveying at 400 m line spacing in the northern part and 200 m line spacing in the southern part of the property.

The initial preliminary data highlights a series of priority target areas that require further detailed investigation and modelling (Figure 2).

A series of splays and offsets along this conductor are visible, often in correlation with intersections of regionally significant deep-seated north-south trending faults, interpreted to be part of the Tabbernor Fault Syst...
