Mr. Peter Dasler, in 2004, positioned CanAlaska, (then CanAlaska Ventures Ltd.), to become a significant presence in the field of Canadian uranium exploration by staking mineral claims in the most favorable districts of Canada's Athabasca Basin, home to the world's largest-richest uranium mines. He has since assembled an expert geological team that has enabled CanAlaska to carry out extensive exploration programs and advance multiple uranium projects towards discovery, including the recent Pike Zone and 42 Zone discoveries on the West McArthur project near the giant McArthur River mine. Mr. Dasler was instrumental in maximizing periods of growth for the Company and weathering significant market downturns by strategically bringing in outside investment to CanAlaska's uranium portfolio from major industry players like Kepco, Kores, Mitsubishi, De Beers, Cameco and Denison Mines. These partnerships have ultimately led to multiple discoveries, the most significant of which is the Pike Zone on the West McArthur project. With his vision of a carbon free future, Mr. Dasler also led the Company toward assembly of a district-scale sulphide nickel portfolio second only to Vale in size in the Thompson Nickel Belt of Manitoba, the fifth largest nickel belt in the world. Through this leadership, CanAlaska and its shareholders are well positioned to take advantage of future demand for clean energy and storage and delivery of that clean energy to end-users. Mr. Dasler has resigned his role as President and will remain as a non-executive director of CanAlaska.

Peter Dasler, Director, comments, "I am very pleased to be able to hand over my duties to Cory. His team is experienced and energetic and capable of completing tasks that we commenced in the last uranium cycle. The Athabasca has new discoveries, and that is good for our shareholders."

Dr. Karl Schimann's extensive experience is in mineral exploration. His career in exploration geology spans over 50 years and across three continents. He has participated in significant discoveries for uranium and base metals and has also led exploration and mining initiatives for gold and diamonds. Between 1977 and 1997, Dr. Schimann was employed by French uranium giant AREVA (previously COGEMA) as a Senior Geologist and Project Manager, where he was a key member of the team that undertook the discovery and development of the massive Cigar Lake uranium mine. In total, he spent twenty years with AREVA, ten of which were based in Canada's Athabasca Basin, home to the world's largest and richest uranium mines. Dr. Schimann joined CanAlaska in 2004, returning to Canada to immerse himself in a fresh challenge towards the discovery of yet another world-class uranium mine. Dr. Schimann played an integral role in development of CanAlaska's large uranium and nickel project portfolios through application of industry leading ore deposit knowledge based on many years' experience, specifically in the uranium sector. Dr. Schimann led the application of new technology to help push the envelope of information gain from each exploration program ultimately allowing the Company to attract major outside investment and make uranium discoveries such as the Pike Zone and 42 Zone on the West McArthur project. Dr. Schimann has resigned his role as Director and will remain as a Geological Consultant to CanAlaska.

Dr. Karl Schimann, comments, "Cory and Nathan and their new geologists are the right team to bring a new and exciting life into CanAlaska and to advance the potential of the Pike and the 42 zones into deposits. It will be a pleasure for me to continue to support them in their drive towards new uranium and nickel discoveries."

Baselode Reports High-Grade Uranium Assays on its ACKIO Prospect

Baselode Reports High-Grade Uranium Assays on its ACKIO Prospect

  • Two drill holes intersect high-grade uranium: Both returned over 1% U₃O₈ across 1.5 metres
  • Hole AK24-118 intersected 8.5 metres of 0.59% U₃O₈, while AK24-119 returned 21.0 metres of 0.28% U₃O₈, enhancing our understanding of uranium mineralization in Pod 6
  • Baselode's ACKIO has a unique advantage that distinguishes it from its peers in the Athabasca Basin, given its shallow mineralization

Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("Baselode" or the "Company") is pleased to provide uranium ("U3O8") assay results from 3 of 43 drill holes of the 2024 drill program on the ACKIO prospect ("ACKIO") in the Athabasca Basin ("Basin") area of northern Saskatchewan.

"Baselode's ACKIO prospect stands out among its peers due to the shallow depth of its mineralization, especially compared to the much deeper deposits elsewhere in the Basin. We are highly encouraged by the results from holes AK24-118 and AK24-119, as they are the best intersections in Pod 6 and rank among the top 20 drill holes at ACKIO. These results strengthen our confidence in ACKIO. It's remarkable that, just over three years after discovering ACKIO, we're still achieving better-than-expected grades and widths," commented James Sykes, CEO, President, and Director of Baselode."

Forum Drilling Update, Aberdeen Uranium Project, Nunavut

Forum Drilling Update, Aberdeen Uranium Project, Nunavut

Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC) (OTCQB: FDCFF) ("Forum" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its 2024 drilling program at the 100% owned Aberdeen Uranium Project has concluded after thirty diamond drill holes were completed between late June and late September for a total of 6,962 metres. The program covered 5 of the more than 20 identified gravity targets on the 95,000-hectare property including the two existing discoveries at Tatiggaq and Qavvik. The Aberdeen Project is located adjacent to Orano's Kiggavik deposit which hosts 133 million pounds of uranium grading at 0.54% U3O8*. Assays are currently being processed at the SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with results expected mid to late October due to a backlog at the facility. Further to its news release dated August 20, 2024, Forum continues to intersect uranium mineralization and intense alteration within favourable structural and lithological corridors for unconformity-style uranium deposits in an emerging uranium district comparable to the prolific Athabasca Basin (Figure 1).
