Bayswater: Drill Results From Collins Bay Extension Project in Athabasca Basin

(OTC: BYSWF)
reports that CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSX.V ? CVV)
has provided drill results from Fife Island at the Collins Bay
Extension project in the Athabasca Basin, under option from Bayswater.
The drilling, conducted in April 2010, identified multiple uranium
bearing zones and a best drill intersection of 4.7 metres assaying
0.043% U3O8. Seismic profiling of the Blue Island diatreme target
has commenced to identify targets for further drilling this winter. The
Collins Bay Extension project is situated immediately adjacent to the
current producing underground Eagle Point mine and the past producing
open pit mines of Collins Bay and Rabbit Lake, mined by Cameco
Corporation (TSX: CCO)
and its predecessors.
Uranium mineralization in drill core from hole CBX002 measured 4.7
metres assaying 0.043% U3O8, where stringer zones of uranium
mineralization were identified within a north west trending fault splay
on the Vic zone at Fife Island. This is in the same area where drilling
in 1981 intercepted 4.0 metres of 0.152% U3O8 (in DDH MWL-D-8).
In the following table there are both assay and radiometric probe
results from April′s drilling. Drill holes CBX001 to CBX005 are from the
Fife Island target, and the CBX006C assay is from one of the deeper
fault zones on the Blue Island diatreme target. The first drill hole in
April 2010 was southwest of Blue Island on the western of two circular
geophysical anomalies. Drill hole CBX006 showed strong evidence of an
extensive disruptive geological event associated with the circular
features, with brecciation continuing to the end of the drill hole. The
probe results are from zones where there was limited, or no recovery of
core.

Seismic survey profiling of the lake and basement terrain across the
Blue Island target is underway. This profiling will be used to identify
major structures within the diatreme in preparation for winter 2010-2011
drilling. Preliminary results indicate that modeling will be able to
provide significant detail on the target.
Peter Dasler, President of CanAlaska commented, 'The Blue Island target
is a large new feature in this area of the Athabasca Basin, and we are
pleasantly surprised by the amount of breccia intersected in the drill
hole. Other areas of the Athabasca Basin have circular structures
associated with brecciation, alteration and uranium mineralization. This
is a discrete target, and it is very encouraging that the first drill
hole has given us evidence of uranium mineralization associated with the
breccias.'
