Recognizing the favorable upturn of the uranium cycle in early 2004, Mr. Dasler positioned CanAlaska Uranium (then CanAlaska Ventures Ltd.) to become a significant presence in the field of Canadian uranium exploration by staking mineral claims in the most favorable districts of Canada's Athabasca Basin, home to the world's largest-richest uranium mines. He has since assembled an expert geological team that has enabled CanAlaska to carry out over $50 million in exploration and advance multiple uranium projects towards discovery.

Mr. Dasler possesses a comprehensive mineral exploration and public company management background, having worked for over 20 years in Canada as an executive and consulting geologist for companies engaged in the exploration for gold, copper, platinum, nickel, molybdenum, lead and zinc. Previously, he held the position of Mine Manager and Production Manager of the 10 mil. ton per annum Taharoa Ironsand Mine in his native New Zealand.

Mr. Fung began his career as a design engineer of Canadian nuclear reactors, but proceeded to Wall Street in New York during the mid 1980's, where he became head of mergers and acquisitions for Canadian investment bank TD Securities.

Mr. Fung returned to Canada in 2003 with a view to bridge the growing gap between resource-hungry Asian economies and the commodity riches of Canada. He teamed with CanAlaska Uranium early in 2005 to advance the company's corporate development efforts, completing a circle which originated in his scholastic fascination with all things uranium. Mr. Fung has since raised over $50 million in funding for CanAlaska by forming exploration ventures with international strategic partners from Japan, Korea, U.K. and China.
