CanAlaska Uranium
Updated Story
Since our last update, CanAlaska Uranium has voted to spin out its nickel properties into Core Nickel Corp. Revised highlights include:
- The company will spin out the Halfway Lake, Resting Lake, Hunter, Odei River, and Mel properties and C$1 million cash into a new subsidiary.
- The assets will be transferred through the issuance of 25 million shares to current shareholders of CanAlaska. Current shareholders will receive one new common share of CanAlaska and 0.19987 shares of Core Nickel for each current share.
- CanAlaska will retain 25 separate properties after the spinoff.
In a separate nickel transaction, the company has optioned four North Thompson belt nickel projects to Valterra Resource Corp. Valterra can earn up to 80%. The deal could be worth up to C$150,000 cash and 37.5 million shares.
In other portfolio news:
- At the Moon Lake South project, the team reported an initial assay of 8.0 meters of 2.46% U3O8. Second-stage drilling is underway.
- The first assay from the Geikie project returned 0.27% U3O8 over 50 centimeters.
- The team completed airborne surveys at the Falcon project.
- The team acquired the Constellation project through staking.
Cash on hand was $10.2 million at the end of July.
Updated Take
CanAlaska’s board has firmed up the spinout plan of the nickel properties. It should close this month with the shareholders’ meeting. I like the commitment to move away from nickel and toward uranium with the option deal.
The biggest new value add could be the Moon Lake South initial assay. If the follow-up drilling shows more such mineralization, the company could finally be onto something rich enough to matter. My thumbs stay up on this active prospect generator.
