CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. announced that contracts have been signed for drill testing of the Manibridge high grade nickel targets, in the southern Thompson Nickel Belt ("TNB") Manitoba. CanAlaska has three large projects in the Thompson Nickel Belt. The Manibridge target shows a significant concentration of high-grade nickel within a broad fold structure that appears to extend to depth. A 400 metre long high-grade nickel target within a 1,200 metre long horizon of semi-continuous nickel mineralization, north of the former producing Manibridge nickel mine, will be tested with an initial 1,000 metres of core drilling. This zone and the main nickel drill intersections are shown on the accompanying figure. The Manibridge project is located in an area of generally high nickel tenor mineralization, outlined by discovery drill holes and recent airborne geophysical surveys, as well as a number of untested targets. CanAlaska owns 100% of the project, which for the past several months has been under a LOI with Canada Metals. CanAlaska is currently working with Canada Metals to conclude a long term property funding agreement.
