CanAlaska Announces Start of Drill Program at Waterbury East Uranium Project

02.10.2024  |  Newsfile

Modern Airborne VTEM Survey Highlights New Target Areas

Drill Program is Fully Partner-Funded Under an Option Agreement

Vancouver, October 2, 2024 - Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7) ("CanAlaska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce mobilization of drill crews and equipment as part of the 2024 drill program on the Waterbury East uranium project (the "Project"). The 2024 Waterbury East drill program will focus on newly developed high-resolution airborne geophysical targets in combination with direct follow up of historical drilling results. The Waterbury East Project is located in the northeastern Athabasca Basin 25 kilometres northeast of the Cigar Lake Mine (Figure 1). The Waterbury East project is currently being sole-funded by Bayridge Resources Corp. (CSE: BYRG) under an option agreement with the Company.

2024 Waterbury East Exploration Program

The planned 2,100 metre program will consist of 4 to 6 drill holes testing multiple targets. Target areas have been generated based on historical drill results combined with newly developed high-resolution airborne geophysical targets. The new airborne geophysical targets are from a recently completed helicopter-supported Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey on the Project which was designed to identify and prioritize basement conductors, characterize lithological and alteration features, map the structural setting of the project, and produce priority drill targets. VTEM interpretation by in3D Geoscience indicates that the historical drilling on the project may have been insufficient to intersect the conductive targets.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, "I am very pleased the Bayridge team is moving the Waterbury East project forward with drilling in 2024. Results from the recently completed VTEM survey highlight new targets that will be a focus in this drilling campaign. This project is very well situated in the heart of the eastern Athabasca Basin near mining and milling infrastructure owned by Cameco and Orano. Market fundamentals are strong and the time is now for uranium deposit discovery, making the Waterbury East drilling program very well timed. I look forward to delivering results from this drilling program to our shareholders through the fall and early winter."

About the Waterbury East Project

The Waterbury East Project is located in the northeastern Athabasca Basin, 25 kilometres northeast of the Cigar Lake Mine. The Project has approximately 200 metres of Athabasca sandstone cover overlying the basement rocks of the Wollaston Domain. The Project consists of 1 mineral claim covering 1,337 hectares.

Early exploration on the Waterbury East Project consisted of historical regional and project scale ground and airborne geophysical surveys, followed by focused prospecting and boulder sampling programs. CanAlaska acquired the Project in the early 2000's through staking and completed property-wide airborne geophysical surveys, including GEOTEM and VTEM. Following the geophysical surveys, six drillholes were completed on the conductive corridor, with results highlighted by faulted and altered basement rocks containing local uranium enrichment.
