The project area is located in the north western corner of Lake Athabasca, close to the Alberta and Saskatchewan border. The project is primarily over shallow Lake Athabasca and it's adjacent shoreline. Access is from the nearby community of Camsell Portage, which has a year round airstrip.

Geology

The project area overlies Athabasca basin rocks, a sedimentary basin composed of a sequence of conglomerates, sandstones and minor shales. 

This basin sequence covers a series of gneisses, granitic intrusions and weakly metamorphosed sedimentary sequences. The region is cut by a number of major faults, which elsewhere provide the environment of uranium deposits.

Past Exploration and Development

The property was previosly unexplored due to a lack of past exploration technology capable of penetrating lake bottom sediments and sandstone.

Potential

To the east, the Beaverlodge domain hosts the basement deposits of the famous Uranium City, Mining District, to the south west is the Maurice Bay Uranium Deposit an "unconformity style" deposit. IN winter 2008 drilling programs were carried out north of the Maurice Bay uranium deposits by a third party. Extensive hyrothermal alterations systems were announced, but to date no new uranium discoveries.

CanAlaska's Exploration

CanAlaska has completed a detailed airborne magnetics and EM geophysical survey over the project area, as well as first pass shallow marine seismic surveys. This data shows a number of structural breaks and conductive zones I the basement and the sediments. Further work is proposed to enhance these targets.
