Geology

The area covers the sedimentary Athabasca Basin which in turn overlies a series of heavily metamorphosed domains. The Athabasca basin is composed of layered conglomerate, shales and sandstone. The underlying Archean domains are composed of orthogneisses and paragneisses. Recent mapping by the government of historical magnetic data, has interpreted several major structures on the property.

Past Work and Exploration

Airborne geophysical surveys were performed in the 1970's, however there is no record of follow up work.

CanAlaska's Exploration

CanAlaska's exploration plans are currently focused on detailed geophysical surveys.
