Northern Uranium Commences Summer Drill Program at NW Manitoba

Vancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / June 17, 2015 - CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. "the Company" (TSX-V: CVV; OTCQB: CVVUF; Frankfurt: DH7N) is pleased to report that Northern Uranium has commenced its summer drill program at Maguire Lake utilizing two large core drills.

This zone is open both along strike and to depth and is characterized by intense clay-hematite alteration with elevated uranium values as determined by down hole gamma probing. Unconformity style uranium mineralization within the Athabasca Basin is associated with these hydrothermal alteration zones.

The second drill is targeting another gravity low with a sympathetic resistivity low and RadonEx radon-in-water anomaly adjacent to the shore of the lake.
