VANCOUVER, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (CVV - TSX.V) (the "Company" or "CanAlaska") has retained CHF Investor Relations (Cavalcanti Hume Funfer Inc., "CHF"), a well-established Canadian investor relations firm headquartered in Toronto and operating under the same management for the past 17 years.
CanAlaska's President and CEO, Mr. Peter Dasler, commented: "CHF's experienced and professional team will provide support to CanAlaska's plan of long term growth in uranium exploration. Five years of research and exploration totaling over $70 million, the majority of which has been funded by the Company's international and domestic partners, have brought us close to our goal of a new uranium discovery in Canada's Athabasca Basin. As we move to strengthen our Company and transition into a year of detailed exploration, CHF's team will be able to greatly assist with the dissemination of our news and successes to prospective investors and analysts."
The IR services agreement, effective September 1st, 2010, is for a term of up to 12 months, subject to a satisfactory performance review at the six-month mark. It is intended that CHF will initiate a market liquidity program, more commonly referred to as market-making, through CHF's Calgary office. The market-making activity will be undertaken by CHF through a registered broker in compliance with the guidelines established by the TSX Venture Exchange Policy 3.4 and other relevant policies.
