All remaining targets will be inaccessible until the winter freeze takes place.

De Beers is still receiving and analyzing physical property data from the last hole to better understand the overburden's physical properties, and geophysical response. All the drill core will be removed from site and transported to De Beers facility in Sudbury for further review and planning.

This coupled with an abnormally wet fall season, has slowed the previous rapid advancement of this project. We look forward to winter freeze, so that site access becomes an easier exercise. We also look forward to the continual systematic testing of the various targets this winter"About the West Athabasca Diamond Project CanAlaska and De Beers are exploring the West Athabasca Project for diamonds under a staged $20.4 million Option-Participation Agreement. The project area covers 85 kimberlite-style targets staked by CanAlaska in the northwestern Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan.
