Overview

Uranium is once again attracting attention. Some of the recent catalysts include a court decision in Japan that could restart two reactors as well as an agreement for Canada to supply 3,000 tonnes of uranium over five years. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, there are 69 nuclear reactors under development and 184 on order or planned. This is in addition to the 438 that are currently operating throughout the world. China uses 19 million pounds of uranium per year and that is expected to grow to 73 million by 2030. The United States is currently the world’s largest consumer of uranium at more than 50 million pounds per year, yet only produces about 4.7 million of that demand annually. People have long wondered where this uranium is going to come from? Is this now the time when the expected supply squeeze will power the stock prices of many uranium-related companies.

Peter DaslerPeter DaslerCEO, CanAlaska Uranium
Recognizing the favorable upturn of the uranium cycle in early 2004, Mr. Dasler positioned CanAlaska Uranium (then CanAlaska Ventures Ltd.) to become a significant presence in the field of Canadian uranium exploration by staking mineral claims in the most favorable districts of Canada's Athabasca Basin, home to the world's largest-richest uranium mines. He has since assembled an expert geological team that has enabled CanAlaska to carry out over $50 million in exploration and advance multiple uranium projects towards discovery. Mr. Dasler possesses a comprehensive mineral exploration and public company management background, having worked for over 20 years in Canada as an executive and consulting geologist for companies engaged in the exploration for gold, copper, platinum, nickel, molybdenum, lead and zinc. Previously, he held the position of Mine Manager and Production Manager of the 10 mil. ton per annum Taharoa Ironsand Mine in his native New Zealand. Mr. Dasler holds Bachelor's (1974) and Master's (1981) degrees in Geology from Canterbury University, New Zealand and is Qualified and Registered as a Professional Geologist in British Columbia, and acts as a "Qualified Person" under the definition used in National Instrument 43 101.
