Strong Gravity Anomaly Discovered at Patterson West Uranium Project
Vancouver, Canada / TheNewswire / April 13, 2015 - CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V: CVV; OTCQB: CVVUF; Frankfurt: DH7N) ("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to report that gravity surveys carried out by Makena Resources as part of their option of CanAlaska's Patterson West uranium project in the Athabasca Basin, has uncovered multiple gravity anomalies including an intense 1.5 by 0.5 km anomaly along a major geological domain boundary.
Further exploration, including drilling is planned by Makena on this large, strong target. This new exploration will test for uranium mineralization in the basement rocks. The property is located adjacent to the PLS claims of Fission Uranium Corp., and 10 km north west of their triple R deposit. The Arrow discovery of NexGen Energy Ltd., is located approximately15 km east of the main gravity anomaly on the Patterson property.

Dr. Karl Schimann, V.P. Exploration, CanAlaska stated, "Recently completed gravity surveys at the Patterson project have outlined multiple intense gravity low anomalies. The largest and most intense anomaly is 1.5 km long by 0.5 km wide and correlates with magnetic lineaments as well as with VTEM conductive anomalies. This strong anomaly is close to, and parallel to, the magnetic boundary marking the edge of the Clearwater Domain. Historical drill hole CLU11-79 is also close to this boundary, and the basement intersected in this drill hole is mylonitised and clay/sericite-altered. Drilling is warranted on this well-defined anomaly."
The gravity surveys were conducted at the Patterson West project, one of three properties (collectively the Patterson properties) the Company holds in the southwest Athabasca Basin region. Patterson West straddles the Athabasca Basin edge with basement rock 130 to 200 metres below Cretaceous and Recent sediments. A VTEM max airborne survey flown in January 2014 identified multiple conductive zones.
CanAlaska owns a 100% interest in the Patterson properties. Makena is currently earning a 50% interest in the Patterson West property by carrying out staged work programs totaling $1.4M, along with cash payments of $100,000, and warrant share issuances of 4.8M shares of Makena.
Dr. Karl Schimann, PhD, P.Geo, is the qualified technical person responsible for this news release.
