DISCLAIMER: This presentation contains forward-looking information or forward-looking statements under Canadian and U.S. securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to CanAlaska’sobjectives, goals and strategies to achieve those objectives and goals, as well as statements with respect to CanAlaska’s beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. The words “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”,“would”, “suspect”, “outlook”, “believe”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “forecast”, “objective” and “continue” (or the negative thereof), and words and expressions of similar import, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved.Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. CanAlaska cautions readers not to place undue reliance on thesestatements, as a number of important factors, many of which are beyond CanAlaska’s control, could cause actual results may differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in suchforward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, risks relating to: the speculative nature of exploration and development projects; industry matters including unexpected exploration, development and/or operating risks, delaysin obtaining permits and licenses for exploration and development of properties; risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production; risks related to the inherent uncertainty ofexploration and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; reliance on other operators and partners; the failure of CanAlaska to realize benefits from transactions; risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drillresults, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with CanAlaska’s expectations;CanAlaska’s inability to expand and replace its mineral reserves and resources and the imprecision of mineral reserves and resource estimates; the impact of volatility in uranium prices on the valuation of mineral reserves and resources; competition;risks related to the failure of CanAlaska or its partners to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms; risks related to environmental regulation, permitting and liability; legal matters; taxation and accounting matters; theinability of CanAlaska to reach development and revenue targets; the market price of CanAlaska’s shares; and local and global economic conditions. In addition, CanAlaska has made assumptions related to future demand for uranium, productionlevels and costs, exploration and mining conditions, relationships with partners and its ability to continue its operations as a going concern and without significant disruptions. Additional factors and assumptions made by CanAlaska are contained in itsmanagement discussion and analysis filed under its corporate profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The foregoing list of factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When reviewing CanAlaska’s forward-looking statements, readers shouldcarefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. This presentation may use the terms “measured”, “indicated”, “inferred” and “historical” mineral resources. U.S. investors are advised that, while such terms arerecognized and required by Canadian regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred mineral resources” and “historical estimates” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and greatuncertainty as to their economic feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of any inferred mineral resource or a historical estimate will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resourcesmay not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Further, historical estimates are not recognized under Canada’s NI 43-101. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources willever be converted to mineral reserves. All assumptions used in the preparation of this corporate presentation and related statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, readers arecautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward‐looking statements. CanAlaska undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward‐looking statements included in this presentation, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

The technical information in this presentation has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 ‐ Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).Under NI 43-101, theQualified Person for this presentation is Peter Dasler P.Geo. CEO for CanAlaska, who has reviewed and approved its contents. Please see footnotes at bottoms of slides with historical technical information for disclosure information.

The business scenario for uranium:World-wide demand, limited supply, CO2 free energy

6

To meet the growing demand for sustainable energy, we will need nuclear to provide at least 25% of electricity by 2050 as part of a clean and reliable low-carbon mix. Achieving this means nuclear generation must triple globally by 2050.
