CanAlaska Announces Manibridge Diamond Drilling Program Intersects Nickel

Nickel-Bearing Sulphides Intersected In All Drillholes; 10,000 Metre Follow-Up Drill Program Planned for June

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) ("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed a six drill hole 2,350 m drill program on the high-grade Manibridge nickel project in the Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba (Table 1). The drill program was focused within one kilometre of the past-producing high-grade Manibridge Mine, that produced 1.3 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.55% nickel and 0.27% copper from 1971 to 1977 (Figure 1).

The drill program intersected disseminated and remobilized nickel-copper sulphide mineralization in all six drillholes (Figure 2). Occurrences of massive and net-textured sulphides were intersected in several holes and intense serpentinization alteration of the sulphide-bearing ultramafic host rocks was also noted. A handheld portable Niton XRF confirms the presence of nickel and copper within the sulphide-bearing intervals and assays are pending.

This drill program was solely funded by Metal Energy Corp. ("Metal Energy") as part of a staged earn-in option agreement with CanAlaska as operator. In future programs, operatorship of the project will be handled by Metal Energy, as per the agreement, and they are planning a 10,000 metre follow-up drill program starting in June of this year.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, "This inaugural drilling program successfully confirmed the presence of nickel mineralization and extended known zones of mineralization. The market for sulphide nickel continues to be strong and it remains the right time to move this project forward for our shareholders. It is anticipated that Metal Energy's continued exploration funding as part of the earn-in agreement will continue to drive this project toward further discovery in 2022 for the benefit of all shareholders."

Nick Hodge: Uranium and Gold Outlook for 2025, Plus Battery Passport Profits

In an interview at the New Orleans Investment Conference, Nick Hodge, publisher at Digest Publishing, discussed the growing prevalence of "battery passports" and the investment angle he sees there.

He also shared his thoughts on how to invest in uranium at this point in the cycle, saying that power-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are boosting demand for the commodity, which was already strong.

"I've been a uranium bull for a long time — our moment is here. You can't have AI without uranium," said Hodge.

Nuclear Fuels Aims to Boost US Domestic Uranium Supply Chain, CEO Greg Huffman says

Issues facing the global uranium supply chain have created a significant opportunity for emerging explorers and producers to leverage the growing demand for nuclear energy and build more secure and stable domestic supply chains.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Nuclear Fuels (CSE:NF) CEO and President Greg Huffman said his company is strategically positioned to supply growing US uranium demand by advancing its uranium projects in Wyoming.

“We have massive, massive increases in terms of expected demand for uranium,” he said. “What we at Nuclear Fuels are focused on is being able to come up with new sources of domestic US uranium to help supply that increase in demand for nuclear power.”
