New high-grade uranium discoveries at it’s West McArthur and Moon Lake South joint venture projects, continued project generation activity in the world’s richest uranium district in Saskatchewan, and a district-scale class 1 nickel portfolio in one of the world’s most prolific sulphide nickel belts located in Manitoba have CanAlaska ready for the next steps in its evolution.

Misty transitioned to Cameco’s Canadian operations in 2012, where she led exploration projects located near some of the world’s richest- and highest-grade uranium deposits in the esteemed Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. After completing her MBA, Misty joined Cameco’s Marketing group, focusing on international uranium sales and marketing and leading the company’s uranium trading operations.

Misty holds a Bachelor of Science (2008) in Geology and Geography and an Executive Masters in Business Administration (2019). She is a registered member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan.
