CanAlaska Commences Airborne Electromagnetic Survey at Hunter Project in Thompson Nickel Belt

Company Adds to Strategic Sulphide Nickel Land Package

Focused on Tier 1 High-Grade Nickel Discovery

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) ("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced an airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM") Survey on it's 100%-owned Hunter project in the Thompson Nickel Belt (Figure 1). The VTEM Survey consists of 867 line-km's of airborne surveying across the Hunter project to identify conductive targets within the Ospwagan Group metasediments which are host to the nearby world-class Thompson nickel deposits (Figure 2).

CanAlaska's Hunter project is located 20 km north of Thompson, Manitoba. The project is underlain by Archean rocks and Ospwagan Group metasediments with ultramafic intrusions. The project area was explored by a variety of companies from the 1950's to 1970's, which led to the discovery of the MEL deposit, located immediately to the east of the Hunter project. Modeled conductor targets along the extensions of host geological horizons that are associated with the MEL deposit trend onto the Hunter project lands. In addition, historical drill intersections on the property and in the surrounding claims have high-grade nickel sulfide mineralization associated with the Ospwagan metasediments. Extensive electromagnetic (UTEM and AMT) and magnetic surveys from 2000-2005 resulted in a number of drill targets, only some of which were drilled tested by Inco. Based on recent compilation work, the Company believes that several significant exploration targets exist on the Hunter project and the VTEM survey, which maps discrete conductive anomalies, will be used in conjunction with the compilation data to further define and prioritize drill targets. The program is being conducted by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario and is estimated to be completed in mid- to late-May.

The Company is also pleased to report that it has applied for an additional three Mineral Exploration Licenses ("MELs") totaling 25,606 ha of prospective ground to extend it's North Thompson Nickel Belt land package (Figure 3). The land application was based on a compilation of VTEM anomalies and a revised geological map that takes into account the magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical data along with the historical drilling. Historical drilling within the newly applied MELs intersected Ospwagan Group metasediments and ultramafics (Thompson Mine Sequence), which are host to many high-grade nickel deposits in the Thompson Nickel Belt. In addition, a VTEM survey completed in 2008 identified an abundance of priority anomalies and targets that were never followed up with diamond drilling. Based on this compilation work, the Company interprets the prospective geological corridor related to the Thompson Mine Sequence, outlined by the Ospwagan metasediments and ultramafics within intercalated Archean gneisses, to extend into the Wilson, Strong Extension, and Moak North, MEL application areas. Work is ongoing to develop targets for future exploration programs.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, "This airborne survey at Hunter is designed to generate drill-ready targets for future exploration programs and will complement the many drill-ready targets on CanAlaska's adjacent Strong project. The new MEL applications cover highly prospective lands for high-grade sulphide nickel discovery in the 5^th largest nickel belt in the world and near to Vale's Thompson operations. These projects will provide CanAlaska shareholders with a nickel exploration portfolio second to none, purposefully designed to take advantage of a carbon-free energy future and anticipated high nickel demand. CanAlaska is actively seeking joint venture partners to help move these projects toward discovery."

North Shore Expands Land Position at Rio Puerco

North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:NSU) ("North Shore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked 27 additional mining claims (the "New Claims") at its Rio Puerco uranium project in northwestern New Mexico ("Rio Puerco" or the "Project"). The Project now includes 64 adjoining Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") claims.

In 2009, a historical uranium resource estimate of 6.0 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.09% eU₃O₈for 11.4 million pounds of U₃O₈ was reported for Rio Puerco (the "Historical Resource"). Initial review of the historical data suggests the potential for in-situ recovery ("ISR") mining, the lowest cost method for producing uranium. The entire Historical Resource is located on the original 37 Rio Puerco claims (the "Original Claims"). Previously completed exploration work suggests that there is potential to expand the reported uranium mineralization on both the Original Claims and the New Claims.

From Nuclear to Blockchain: How xU3O8 is Reimagining Uranium Ownership

xU3O8 has reached a key milestone with the listing of its uranium-backed token across major crypto exchanges, opening the door for investors to gain direct exposure to uranium at a time when demand is accelerating, said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, which provides the blockchain platform for xU3O8.

“xU3O8 is a tokenized asset. It represents tokenized beneficial ownership in uranium oxide,” Breitman explained. “And the platform uranium.io allows people to come in and then buy this tokenized ownership in uranium, which can be interesting for people interested in owning the commodity.”

Breitman also explained the advantages of buying tokenized uranium versus investing in uranium stocks or uranium funds.

Sweden Moves to Lift Uranium-Mining Ban Through Legislative Proposal

Sweden has announced plans to lift its seven year ban on uranium mining, with a proposal to amend its Environmental Code and Minerals Act expected in parliament later this year.

If approved, the changes would take effect on January 1, 2026.

The proposal follows the conclusions of a government inquiry completed in December 2024, which recommended that uranium be treated under the same legal framework as other concession minerals. That recommendation was reviewed by the Council on Legislation in June 2025, clearing the way for parliament to consider a repeal.
