CanAlaska Uranium (CVV) has promoted Cory Belyk to CEO and Executive Vice President.

Belyk is a professional geologist with nearly 30 years of experience working for major and junior mining companies in the Athabasca Basin and worldwide.

Prior to joining CanAlaska in 2019 as Chief Operating Officer, he was Director of Exploration for Cameco’s international operations. He was also a member of Cameco’s exploration management team during the Fox Lake and West McArthur uranium discoveries in Saskatchewan.

Belyk is a registered member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan.

“It is a privilege and honor to be asked to lead CanAlaska into the future,” Belyk said. “CanAlaska is a very well-structured company with a portfolio of uranium and nickel projects that are truly world-class and ripe for additional major discoveries. This is at a time when the world is waking up to nuclear power generation as a carbon-free source of baseload energy. I am humbled to be entrusted with the reins.”

Peter Dasler, CanAlaska’s President, added,

“Cory and I have worked shoulder to shoulder with our team for the past 3 years and it is a pleasure to see the significant increase in the company’s value for our shareholders. Recent family events are now affecting the amount of time that I can spend on company affairs and my best role will be in management support of Cory and our expanding exploration team at a time when we expect to see rapid further growth.”

CanAlaska Uranium is a project generator that holds interests in approximately 214,000 hectares in Canada’s Athabasca Basin – the “Saudi Arabia of Uranium”.

CanAlaska Uranium (CVV) closed the day trading flat at $0.60 per share.
