CanAlaska Completes Airborne Electromagnetic and Magnetic Survey at Hunter Project in Thompson Nickel Belt

Survey Defines Multiple Target Areas for Thompson-Style Nickel-Sulphide Deposits; Focused on Tier 1 High-Grade Nickel Discovery

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) ("CanAlaska or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received and processed the results of an airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM Plus") and Horizontal Magnetic Gradiometer geophysical survey on its 100%-owned Hunter project in the Thompson Nickel Belt (Figure 1). Preliminary evaluation of the geophysical survey has identified several target areas within the Hunter Project (Figure 2). The survey was completed by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario and consisted of 882 line-kms of surveying.

The Hunter 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 2000's, which led to the discovery of the Mel nickel deposit, located immediately to the east of the project. In addition, historical drill intersections on the property and in the surrounding claims have high-grade nickel sulphide mineralization associated with ultramafic rocks within Ospwagan Group metasediments. The Ospwagan Group metasediments, specifically the Pipe Formation, are host to the world-class Thompson Nickel Deposit.

The Company's newly completed VTEM Plus survey shows a good correlation between the interpreted geology and geophysical survey data, both in the electromagnetic and magnetic responses. The survey highlights NE-SW magnetic lineament trends associated with variably conductive electromagnetic responses, interpreted to represent Ospwagan Group metasediments and associated ultramafics. In addition, the survey identified geophysical signatures that may suggest more Ospwagan Group metasediments (nickel deposit host stratigraphy) in the project area than previously documented. The VTEM Plus survey also confirmed that the modeled conductor interpreted to be the extension of the host geological horizons associated with the Mel nickel deposit to the east of the project area trend onto the Hunter project. The Company has identified three initial high-priority target areas based on the newly acquired survey data and the presence of known mineralized occurrences within and along trend of these targets. The Company is completing a 3D magnetic vector inversion (MVI) of the VTEM Plus survey data and Maxwell Modelling of electromagnetic anomalies to further refine drill targets.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, "This airborne survey has provided a significant amount of new detail to the Hunter project target inventory. The possible identification of additional host stratigraphy than was previously known highlights the value-add of this new survey to prioritize areas for future drilling campaigns. The Hunter project is just one piece of the Company's extensive land holdings in this prolific and world-class nickel belt that provides our shareholders with discovery opportunity of a critical metal for a clean energy future. CanAlaska is actively seeking joint venture partners to help move these nickel projects toward discovery."

About the Hunter Project

CanAlaska's Hunter project encompasses 8,232 hectares within the world-class Thompson Nickel Belt. The Project is located 20 km north of Thompson, Manitoba, which has significant infrastructure and capacity that has supported previous exploration programs and mine development, including year-round highway access.

Other News

The Company is actively advancing a new uranium discovery on its West McArthur uranium project in the eastern Athabasca Basin. As part of the summer program, the Company reported a 6.3 metre long interval of elevated radioactivity in the basement of WMA067, 100 m below the unconformity. WMA067 is located along a newly defined exploration trend, approximately 6 kilometres along strike to the southwest of the Company's 42 Zone mineralization. The summer drilling program is part of a $5 million program operated by CanAlaska, which holds a 77.13% ownership in the project.

Metal Energy has acquired a 70% interest in the Manibridge nickel project, effective August 16, 2022, as a result of recent work programs. In addition, the Company has received notice from Metal Energy of their intention to acquire 100% ownership in the Manibridge project based on positive results from the phase 1 and phase 2 drilling programs. The Company has received a total of 5,000,000 Common Shares of Metal Energy (TSX:V MERG) and $100,000 cash as part of the notification of intent to achieve 100% ownership.

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 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).
