CanAlaska Kasmere Sales Agreement

VANCOUVER, APRIL 1, 2014 /CNW/ - CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSX – CVV) ("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement to sell its interest in its Kasmere South project in northwestern Manitoba to private company East Resource Ltd. for  a cash payment of Cdn$1,800,000. 

East Resource and CanAlaska have had ongoing activities and relationships in the Athabasca region since 2009, including an exploration Letter of Intent on the adjacent NW Manitoba project (currently under option from CanAlaska to MPVC Ltd), and an exploration option on CanAlaska's Poplar project on the north rim of the Athabasca basin.

CanAlaska will assist East Resource with the exploration of the property, and will retain a NSR on any future production.  The NSR will have a CDN$20,000,000 one-time pre-production purchase option.

President Peter Dasler commented "We are very pleased to be able to enter into this agreement with East Resource, so as to allow significant exploration on this exciting project. Historical exploration work gives us evidence of surface uranium and gold mineralization.  Additionally, sparse historical drilling carried out in the 1970's intercepted uranium mineralization.  These known uranium zones are priority targets for new exploration.  The cash payment will significantly strengthen CanAlaska and assist with the Company's plan to concentrate on more rapid exploration of its core Japanese and Korean joint ventures at West MacArthur and Cree East, within the Athabasca basin.  CanAlaska retains the large Kasmere North project, adjacent to the northeast, as well as its interest in the NW Manitoba Project, which MPVC has recently financed, and is in the process of planning a field work program."

CanAlaska is currently concentrating on further property options and joint ventures under multiple CA agreements, as well as planning for the continued drill testing of the Cree East project targets, as early as summer 2014.  At the current time geophysical crews, working for the Cree East JV are on the property collecting detailed information for the next drill program.
