Victor Fern has resigned from the CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (CVV) board.
Victor is pursuing a new community role supporting Cameco and Orano's operations in the Athabasca Basin.
CanAlaska's management and Board of Directors wish Victor well in this new community role and wishes to acknowledge the strong role Victor has played in the direction of CanAlaska's activities since his appointment in 2008.
At the time of his appointment in March 2008, Victor Fern was the immediate past Chief of the Fond du Lac Denesuline First Nation at Fond du Lac, Saskatchewan.
Fern has been a longstanding member of the Northern Athabasca area's environmental monitoring committee and is involved with various private business interests in the Fond du Lac-Black Lake area.
His extensive experience at uranium mining and milling operations in Northern Saskatchewan and his 13-year tenure on the CanAlaska board makes him well suited to his new role as an advisor and educator in the community.
CanAlaska President, Peter Dasler, comments,
"It has been a pleasure to work with Victor for the past 14 years and to meet his friends and community. His new Community Liaison responsibilities for Cameco and Orano highlight how well regarded and knowledgeable Victor is."
"We can all learn a lot from each other, and I look forward to continuing our friendship and interactions in multiple matters into the future. Thank you, Victor, best wishes from me and CanAlaska's Board," concluded Dasler.
CanAlaska Uranium holds interests in approximately 214,000 hectares (530,000 acres) in Canada's Athabasca Basin - the "Saudi Arabia of Uranium."
CanAlaska's strategic holdings have attracted major international mining companies.
CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (CVV) is up 10.81 per cent and is trading at $0.82 at 1:55 pm ET.
