CanAlaska Summer Drilling Completed at West McArthur

CanAlaska Uranium (TSXV:CVV) has completed that Cameco’s (TSX:CCO) exploration team completed two primary drill holes and two offcut holes along the trend of the C10 conductor package.
As quoted in the press release:

Drilling targeted graphite and fault zones identified from 2012 program
The exploration team has focused on establishing the path of the C10 graphitic conductor package and the C10 fault structure as it trends south-west from the high-grade uranium mineralized zones at Fox Lake. Two drill holes located 2.4 and 3.5 km south-west of the winter drill target (hole WMA035), focused on intercepting the fault structures and basement graphite horizons associated with the silicified and fractured sandstone previously drilled by CanAlaska in 2012. The previous drill holes had shown nearby conductive targets associated with above background uranium mineralization with up to 1000 cps from geophysical probe results.
WMA036 was drilled 75.0 m north of the WMA034 unconformity pierce point, to test for the extension of the C10 fault at the unconformity. The drill hole intersected bleached sandstone. Two fracture zones are characterized by bedding controlled desilicification and broken core. The targeted fault zone, intersected 100 metres above the unconformity (from 721.5 m to 727.5 m) is characterized by broken core, fracture-controlled limonite, steeply-dipping clay-coated fractures and a 60 cm sandy-clay gouge. Below the fault zone, from 730.9 m onwards, the sandstone is pervasively bleached. Dark green interstitial chlorite and strong patchy silicification is observed from 750.0 m to 787.5 m, centered on limonite and drusy quartz coated fractures from 754.2 to 777.7 metres and is accompanied by dravite. Weak quartz dissolution to 810.4 m is followed by 3 m of strong silicification with minor chlorite and sooty pyrite.
The lowermost sandstone, from 787.5 m to the unconformity at 821.8 m, is bleached with diagenetic hematite bands. Weakly graphitic pelite was intersected in the basement at 840.0 metres and at 859.6 metres.
