(TSX-V: CVV;  Frankfurt: DH7N) (“CanAlaska” or the “Company”) announces that it proposes to undertake a non-brokered private placement of flow-through units (the “FT Units”) and non-flow-through units (the “Units”) for total gross proceeds of up to $3,000,000. Each FT Unit will be sold at a price of $0.32 and consist of one flow-through common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Unit will be sold at a price of $0.275 and will consist of one common share and one Warrant.

The gross proceeds received from the sale of the FT Units will be used for work programs on the Company’s exploration properties, with priority given to its West McArthur property. The net proceeds received from the sale of the Units will be used for general working capital.

The Company may pay finders’ fees comprised of cash and non-transferable warrants in connection with the private placement, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Completion of the private placement and the payment of any finders’ fees remain subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
