Risk Factors



From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research activities and similar matters.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements.  In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors including those set forth in this section entitled "Risk Factors of the Company's Business" could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements.



Resource exploration is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.  The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

---

(1)

Exploration Risks



All of the claims owned by the Company are in the exploration stages only and are without a known body of commercial ore.  The Company's mineral properties will advance only if satisfactory exploration results are obtained.  Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored become mined.  There is no assurance that the Company's mineral exploration will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore.  The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.



Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to establish metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties to establish the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.  Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for this can be obtained on a timely basis.  Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions.  In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results.  Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations.  Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.  Reserves are reported as general indicators of mine life.  Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations.



(2)

Operating Hazards and Risks



Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, location of gold and other metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins, pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property, and possible environmental damage.  The Company does have general liability insurance covering its operations and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities.  Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition.



(3)

Limited Operating History; Lack of Cash Flow and Non Availability of Additional Funds



None of the Company's properties has commenced commercial production and the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations.  As a result there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop and generate any of its property profitably or that its activities will generate positive cash flow.  The Company has not declared or paid dividends on its shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.  The only present source of funds available to the Company is through the sale of its Common Shares.  Even if the results of exploration are encouraging, the Company may not have sufficient funds to conduct the further exploration that may be necessary to determine whether or not a commercially mineable deposit exists on any property.  While the Company may generate additional working capital through the operation, establishment, sale or possible joint venture development of its properties, there is no assurance that any such funds will be available for operations.





12





---

(4)

No Proven Reserves



All of the properties in which the Company holds an interest are considered to be in the exploration stage only and do not contain a known body of commercial ore.



(5)

Title Risks



Due to the large number and diverse legal nature of the mineral properties described in this Annual Report, full investigation of legal title to each such property has not been carried out at this time.  Any of the Company's properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements of transfer or native land claims (including Innu land claims which are currently outstanding against all properties in the Labrador Region of Newfoundland), and title may be affected by undetected defects.  The Company's properties consist of recorded mineral claims and patented mineral claims which have not been surveyed, and therefore the precise area and location of such claims may be in doubt.



While the Company has reviewed and is satisfied with the title for any claim in which it has a material interest and, to the best of its knowledge, such title is in good standing, there is no guarantee that title to such claim will not be challenged or impugned.  The properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements of transfer or native land claims and title may be affected by undeeded claims.



(6)

Conflicts of Interest



Certain of the directors of the Company are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such a participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participating in larger programs, permitting involvement in a greater number of programs and reducing financial exposure in respect of any one program.  It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.  In accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interest of the Company.  In determining whether the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.  The Company is not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.



(7)

Exploration Stage Risks; Lack of Cash Flow; Additional Funding Requirements



The Company's properties are currently being explored or assessed for exploration and as a result, the Company has no source of operating cash flow.  The Company has limited financial resources and there is no assurance that if additional funding were needed, that it would be available to all the Company on terms and conditions acceptable to it.  Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible, partial or total loss of the Company's interest in current properties.  The Company presently has sufficient financial resources to undertake all of its currently planned exploration programs.  The Company's activities depend upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through debt financing, equity financing or other means.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing.  Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to forfeit its interest in such properties and reduce or terminate its operations.





13

(8)

Competition and Agreements with Other Parties



The mineral resources industry is intensely competitive and the Company competes with many companies that have greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself.  Significant competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available in the Company's sphere of operations.  As a result of this competition, the Company's ability to acquire additional attractive mining properties on terms it considers acceptable may be adversely affected.



The Company may, in the future, be unable to meet its share of costs incurred under agreements to which it is a party and the Company may have its interests in the properties subject to such agreements reduced as a result.  Furthermore, if other parties to such agreements do not meet their share of such costs, the Company may be unable to finance the costs required to complete the recommended programs.



(9)

Fluctuating Mineral Prices



The mining industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of mineral resources are developed, a profitable market will exist for the sale of same.  Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered.  The prices of gold, uranium, nickel, copper, cobalt and palladium have varied considerably over the past few years, and no assurance may be given that prices will remain at their current levels; significant price movements over short periods of time may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies), interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods.  The effect of these factors on the price minerals and therefore the economic viability of any of the Company's exploration projects cannot accurately be predicted.  As the Company is in the exploration stage, the above factors have had no material impact on operations or income.



(10)

Shares Reserved for Future Issuance; Potential Dilution



As of April 30, 2005, the Company had reserved, 17,089,965 common shares for issuance upon the exercise of warrants, incentive stock options and property agreements.  Such common shares represent a potential equity dilution of approximately 28%, based upon the number of outstanding common shares at April 30, 2005, of 43,102,099.  Furthermore, the Company may enter into commitments in the future which would require the issuance of additional common shares and may grant additional stock options and/or issue additional warrants.  As at April 30, 2005, the Company had unlimited authorized but unissued and unreserved number of common shares.  Issuance of additional shares would be subject to stock exchange regulatory approval and compliance with applicable securities legislation.  The Company currently has no plans to issue common shares other than for the purposes of raising funds for property acquisition, property exploration and general working capital requirements which issuances would be subject to regulatory approval.



(11)

Environmental Regulation



All phases of the Company's operations in Canada and the United States are subject to environmental regulations.  Environmental legislation in Canada and the United States is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.  There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations.



(12)

Compliance with Laws and Regulations



Newfoundland, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Quebec, British Columbia



14





---



Legislation and implementing regulations implemented by the provincial Departments of Natural Resources or Mines directly affect the mining industry in the Canadian Provinces where the Company owns its mineral claims.  In particular, the Company must provide prior notice and a description of the planned exploration work before the commencement of the work.

Exploration involving mechanized activities such as drilling, trenching, heavy mineral studies, airborne geophysical surveys, extensive use of off road vehicles, establishment of a camp or other activities capable of causing ground disturbance, water quality impairments or disruption to wildlife or wildlife habitat, cannot commence until the plans have been reviewed by the required government departments and approvals issued, on such terms and conditions deemed necessary and prescribed by the Minister of each province.



Licences of Occupation are generally required for camp locations where use or occupation of the camp is proposed to involve long term, seasonal or permanent use and occupation of the camp, or involves ground disturbance.  Any clearing of areas in order to construct camps, must comply with the Provincial Regulations, and the Company must comply with the reclamation requirements pursuant to the Provincial Acts.



If drilling is planned the Company, in certain provinces, may be required to hire an archaeologist to ensure the work does not disturb any archaeological sites.



If any mineral zones are outlined on any of the Company's properties, future operations will also be subject to various laws and regulations concerning mineral extraction, taxes, labor standards, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.  In addition, new laws or regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies could have a material adverse impact on the Company.



United States



Federal legislation is being considered in the United States, which, if passed, will affect mining laws in the United States.  The legislation proposes to abolish the patent system of mineral tenure, under which a patent applicant with a valuable mineral discovery on federal lands can purchase the fee title to those lands, and provide for the payment of some combination of royalties and holding fees.  The legislation may also include various environmental and land-use requirements which may restrict or, in some cases, prevent mining operations.  Some of the Companys Rainbow Hill claims are unpatented and on federal lands, any such changes in federal legislation could have an impact on the value of the Company properties in the United States.  To date, the Company does not believe such legislation has been enacted.



New Zealand



The Crown Minerals Act 1991 provides that the Ministry of Energy is responsible for the overall management of the Resources. Within New Zealand there are three types of permits granted for exploration: Prospecting, Exploration and Mining Permits.  The applications for mineral exploration permits are based on the presentation of an acceptable work programme.  The permit will be granted once an acceptable work programme has been proposed and accepted by the Minister. Technical reviews ensure that sound exploration practices will be undertaken.  A royalty regime applies to all mining permits. The granting of a permit under the Crown Minerals Act 1991 does not confer on the permit holder, automatic right of access to the land. The permit holder must reach an appropriate land access arrangement with the underlying landholder.  All permit holders must have appropriate regard for the Treaty of Waitangi and must consult with the relevant Maori. Mineral extraction is subject to acceptable feasibility studies and Resource Consents from the New Zealand Government.



(13)

Canadian Jurisdictional and Enforceability of Judgments, Risks



The Registrant is a Canadian corporation.  All but two of its directors are residents of Canada and a significant part of its assets are, or will be, located outside of the United States.  As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders resident in the United States to effect service within the United States upon the Registrant,



15





---

and as such directors, officers or experts who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of any of the Registrant, such directors or officers under the United States federal securities laws.  The Registrant has been advised by its Canadian counsel that there is substantial doubt as to whether Canadian courts would (i) enforce judgments of the United States courts of competent jurisdiction obtained against the Registrant, such directors, or officers predicated upon the civil liabilities provisions of such securities laws or (ii) impose liabilities in original actions against the Registrant or their respective directors and officers predicated solely upon such securities laws.  Accordingly, United States shareholders may be forced to bring actions against the Registrant and its respective directors and officers under Canadian law and in Canadian courts in order to enforce any claims that they may have against the Registrant or its directors and officers.  Subject to necessary registration under applicable provincial corporate statutes in the case of a corporate shareholder.  Canadian courts do not restrict the ability of non-resident persons to sue in their courts.



(14)

Adequate Labor and Dependence Upon Key Personnel



The Company will depend upon recruiting and maintaining other qualified personnel to staff its operations.  The Company believes that such personnel currently are available at reasonable salaries and wages in the geographic areas in which the Company intends to operate.  There can be no assurance, however, that such personnel will always be available in the future.  In addition, it cannot be predicted whether the labor staffing at any of the Company's projects will be unionized.  The success of the operations and activities of the Company is dependent to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of its management.  The loss of services of any of its management could have a material adverse effect on the Company.



(15)

Work Program Advances to Optionees



The Company has not advanced funds to certain optionees of its properties to enable them to meet their minimum work commitments on those properties.



(16)

Forward Looking Statements



This Annual Report contains forward looking statements concerning the Company's operations, economic performance and financial condition, including in particular, the likelihood of the Company's success in operating as an independent company and expanding its business.  These statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, and reflect future business decisions which are subject to change.  Some of these assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events will occur which will affect the Company's future results.  All such forward looking statements are qualified by reference to matters discussed under this section entitled "Risk Factors of the Company's Business."

West McArthur Project





17





---

The West McArthur Project is the priority exploration project within the companys Athabasca holdings.  Exploration work on this and the Companys other projects are being funded through current cash positions.  Additional funding will be raised to carry out additional exploration work.



Property Description and Location



The italicized text which follows has been excerpted from the CanAlaska Ventures Ltd. McArthur River West Uranium Claims, Saskatchewan: Mineral Potential Assessment and Exploration Proposal, prepared by Ralph Newson, M.Sc., P.Eng., P.Geo. December 23, 2004, filed with the Companys records on sedar.com, and updated by P.G. Dasler, M.Sc., P.Geo. July 22, 2005.



Ownership



The property consists of nineSaskatchewan claims numbered S-107561 to S-107565 inclusive, S-108010 to S-108012 inclusive, and S-107773. The nominal area of the property is 35,822 hectares (ha).



The claims are registered in the name of CanAlaska Ventures Ltd., of Vancouver, B.C., 2303 West 41st Ave., Vancouver, B.C., V6M 2A3.



The claims are mainly in NTS area 74 H 14, with the westernmost corner just inside 74 H 13, and a wedge-shaped projection southward into 74 H 11. The centre of the property is near the intersection of 57° 50' north latitude, and 105° 18' west longitude (Figs 1, 2).



Mineral claims in Saskatchewan do not include any ownership of surface rights, but use of the surface for exploration, development and production can be had according to various regulations. Those which apply to the work recommended herein are discussed below.



Table 1 below shows the areas, record dates, and annual assessment work requirements for each claim. To keep the claims in good standing, work to at least the values shown (calculated at $12 per hectare) must be done by the anniversaries of the record dates in 2006, and every year thereafter up to and including the 10th year.

If all of the claims are retained, it will cost $429,684per annum to keep the property in good standing.  From the 11th year, the requirements increase to $25 per ha per annum. After each anniversary date there is a period of 90 days allowed for the preparation and submission of an assessment work report. Any work in

excess of that required to keep a claim for a year is credited to that claim against future requirements, and is automatically applied each year until it is used up. There are no annual renewal fees in Saskatchewan.



The Company has expended in excess of $300,000 on the claim area to date through airborne and ground surveys.  This assessment work, as well as further work will be applied to the claims to extend their expiry dates.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography



The topography is rolling (sometimes steeply) in places, and fairly flat in other places. It is a reflection of Pleistocene glacial deposition features, mainly drumlins, eskers, and outwash sand plains. Boulders are common on the ground surface, and may be useful as a sample medium to find clay alteration that may indicate uranium mineralization. Elevation is about 600 metres, with a relief of about 60 metres. The sandy soil means that most of the trees are Jack Pines, with Black Spruce along the edges of water bodies. Poplar and Birch are the most common deciduous trees. Virtually all of the property has been burned recently, and most of the trees are small. In places they grow very close together, and walking through them may be difficult.



The property is accessible by air from La Ronge, a distance of about 290 km, or from Otter Lake (80 km by road north of La Ronge), a distance of 240 km. Many lakes on the property are long enough to provide access to float- or ski-equipped aircraft. In winter, care must be taken to avoid areas of thin ice caused by currents in the lakes.



19





---



On the property, there are some old roads that could provide access to many parts of the property. In summer, the pure outwash sand provides a poor roadbed, but where there are gravel deposits, the road can be fairly good.



The nearest village with any significant services is La Ronge, 290 km south by air, and about 530 km by road, if road access can be established. Services adequate for the exploration phase are available there, including food and camp supplies, fixed and rotating wing aircraft, and expediting services. In La Ronge and in most of the smaller settlements north of La Ronge there are many people experienced in prospecting, linecutting, geophysical operating, and other exploration skills. There are consulting geologists, and geophysical and line-cutting contractors in La Ronge. Many residents have worked at one or more of the currently producing uranium mines.



The nearest city is Prince Albert, about 660 km by road, or about 495 km by air. More services are available here, including some light industrial fabrication. Saskatoon is about 150 km south of Prince Albert, and has more and better services, including medium industrial fabrication.

The climate is mid-latitude continental with winter temperatures down to -50°C and summer high temperatures to 30°C. Freeze-up occurs typically in October and November with break-up in April or May. Much of the work can only be done after freeze-up, but, because there is road access to, or close to, the property, and possibly access by wheeled aircraft to the Key Lake Mine airstrip, some types of work could be carried on all year. Boulder prospecting and sampling can only be done when there is no snow, which normally includes the months of June to September, and sometimes longer. Drilling could be done all year long, provided that it is on land. Geophysical surveys can be done all year, but are often better done in winter, when survey lines can be continued across frozen lakes. Winter work is sometimes made difficult by extremely low temperatures, with -40°C not uncommon, and occasional, but uncommon, dips to -50° C. However, in a typical winter, field work would not often have to be suspended because of low temperatures. Blowing snow, usually on larger lakes, may occasionally cause work to be halted because of the danger of getting lost.



Summer conditions are quite pleasant, with the main impediment, in this writer's experience, being forest fires.



History



The property as presently constituted was staked between October 2004 and March 2005 by CanAlaska, which is thus the first owner of these claims. CanAlaska has carried out airborne surveys of its own as of the date of writing this report (July 2005).



In the past, the ground which now comprises the property has been part of various properties owned by others, and some of their work programs have covered all or parts of the present property. The work is summarized below, and the assessment work file number is referred to in brackets with each work item. Fig. 3 summarizes graphically that work which is believed to be most significant in assessing the property, and the most useful in planning further work.



In 1969, Ulster Petroleum carried out an airborne radiometric survey over the northeastern part of the subject ground, and carried out an air photo interpretation study In 1969, Western Land Services Co. Ltd. carried out an airborne radiometric survey over the western part of the property. In 1969, King Resources Ltd. carried out airborne electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, and a hydrogeochemical survey on an area that overlaps some of the southern part of the property.

From 1978 to 1983, Kerr Addison Mines carried out an airborne electromagnetic survey of much of the northern part of the present property.



In 1980, SMDC (now Cameco) carried out a helicopter-borne electromagnetic and magnetic survey which overlapped a small part of the present property In 1986, Cogema carried out gravity, electromagnetic, and

magnetic surveys on a property which slightly overlaps parts of the northeastern corner of the present property. From 1985 to 1990, Uranerz carried out a number of types of work on ground overlapping much of the present property Concentrations of boulders showing moderately high levels of kaolin were found, and some of these had elevated levels of chlorite as well. A contact between illitic and kaolinitic clay zones is plotted near these conductors, and one of the untested conductors crosses it. Elsewhere on the map, short sections of the contact between illitic and kaolinitic zones are plotted, but not joined together. It would appear that more data are needed to completely define the illite/kaolin contact.



More recently, it has become apparent that the kaolin in the eastern basin can be either kaolinite or dickite, and it is important to know which it is. Lake sediment anomalies were found, but their significance is not apparent. Uranerz found values in the 4 ppm range, similar to the range of values found by Kerr Addison.

In 2000 and 2002, Cameco drilled 2 more holes on what is now the property. The purpose of the holes was to test the same conductive trend detected by Cogema in 1986, and drilled by Uranerz. The drilling reveals that depth to basement is about 850 metres in the area, dipping gently towards the centre of the basin. All four members of the Manitou Falls formation are present, there is silicification and bleaching of the sandstone above the unconformity, there is a variation in the types of clays present throughout the hole, and there is increased radiation at the unconformity. All of these factors are positive for the occurrence of uranium deposits.



Geological Setting



The property is underlain by rocks of the Helikian-aged Manitou Falls Formation of the virtually undeformed Athabasca Group, resting unconformable on a metamorphic basement believed to be the Mudjatik and/or Wollaston Domains of the  Hearne Province of the Canadian Shield (Fig. 1).

The Peter Lake, Wollaston, Mudjatik, and Virgin River Domains comprise the Hearne Province, and form the Cree Lake Mobile Zone of the Churchill Structural Province.



Property Geology



There is no record of outcrop being found on the property, which is not unusual in the Athabasca Basin. The few holes that have been drilled indicate that it is underlain by all four Members of the Manitou Falls Formation of the Athabasca Group, resting unconformably on rocks that could be part of either the Mudjatik or Wollaston domains, since these rocks are not distinguishable based on the lithology of individual units. Assessment work submitted by Cameco  shows a sub-Athabasca contact between the two domains, probably inferred from their extensive work in the Basin. This contact lies southeast of the present property, which would put the property in the Mudjatik Domain.



Deposit Type



The type of deposit sought here is an unconformity-type uranium deposit. Wheatley et al (1996) described a genetic model for such deposits. The Archean basement of northern Saskatchewan consists of granodiorites, tonalites, trondhjemites and gneissic equivalents that were subjected to granulite facies metamorphism during the Kenoran Orogeny (ca 2560 Ma). Intense deformation during the Archean created major zones of weakness that became the sites of repeated faulting causing the basement to break into numerous crustal blocks.



All uranium deposits occur within alteration halos, which demonstrate great variety and intensity. The alteration halo may extend hundreds of metres into the basement and up into the sandstone, and typically will have an increase in background uranium along with extensive clay alteration. The regional clay  illite, dickite or kaolinite  will be altered in the vicinity of the deposit, and this phenomenon can be used as an exploration tool. The regional clay around Cigar Lake is dickite but the chimney above the deposit is illitic. The dominant clay around Key Lake is illite, but above the deposit the alteration has created kaolinite, chlorite and locally dravite. Bleaching is relatively common and obvious as it removes the purple hematite to varying degrees, and reduces it to pyrite and siderite.  It can extend over many metres in the sandstone, but in the basement will commonly be restricted to an interval just below the unconformity. Silicification is quite

evident as interstitial filling and may act as an inhibiting agent to bleaching if the porosity is reduced. The quartz cement is remobilized, typically near a structure, and may  be deposited as drusy quartz  in fractures and cavities.  The quartz dissolution creates an unconsolidated zone with a large increase in clay content. Near the deposit a massive clay envelope may develop as silica is removed and feldspars and metamorphic minerals alter to clay. This clay can range in color from white through grey to dark green. The argillization processes are accompanied by an increase in magnesium. Dravite occurs interstitially and as fracture coatings in the sandstone, but may only show up in the boron geochemistry. The intensity of dravitization is much stronger in certain deposits, e.g. McArthur River, whereas at Eagle Point it may not be observed at all. Limonite is very common and can occur in fractures and interstitially in the sandstone and within the mineralized ore zone along with siderite.



Empirically, the type of uranium deposit likely to occur here would be at or near the unconformity between the Athabasca sandstone and the metamorphic basement (from perhaps 100 metres above, to 500 metres below), close to a major fault or shear in graphitic supracrustal rock which is intersected by another fault or shear. The deposit will be within a clay-alteration zone much larger than the deposit.



Mineralization



There is no known mineralization on the property apart from elevated lake sediment anomalies for various metals.



Exploration



The following exploration program has been recommended:



Phase 1.



1.

An airborne time-domain electromagnetic survey should be flown immediately, and the results interpreted by a geophysicist experienced in interpreting this type of survey in this environment. (Completed)



2.

Magnetic data will be collected along with the TDEM data, and should be used to interpret basement geology, which should be compared with previous interpretations.



3.

Ground-based resistivity and time- domain electromagnetic surveys should be carried out to locate more precisely the results of any anomalies found by the airborne survey, and perhaps to extend those anomalies.



4.

Boulder sampling should be carried out to better define the clay mineralogy of the sandstone, i.e. to distinguish between kaolinite and dickite. One member of each sampling crew should have a scintillometer to also prospect for radioactive boulders.





22





---

Phase 2.



5.

The best anomalies should be drill-tested. Drilling will have to be very carefully controlled if one hopes to hit a small target at the depths expected here. Holes should be radiometrically logged. Drilling should continue well into the basement when in metasedimentary rocks.



2.

Other Athabasca Basin Uranium Projects



The Company has a 100% interest in a series of other large uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca region.  The following project overviews in italicized text was prepared for CanAlaska Ventures Ltd. by Jim Kermeen, P.Eng.







(a)

Alberta Project, Alberta



This large project comprises 16 contiguous permits totaling 128,912 hectares covering most of the Alberta section of Lake Athabasca.  Flat-lying Athabasca sandstone underlies most of the property with depths to the unconformity at its base varying from 0 to 800 metres.  The basement is thus  explorable with modern geophysical systems.  Uranium showings occur in adjacent basement rocks and Athabasca Group outliers, and shallow water depths are favorable for diamond drilling.



(b)

Arnold Project, Saskatchewan



This project is contiguous block of 5 minerals claims totaling 24,285 hectares located 30 km west of the producing McArthur River mine; flat-lying Athabasca sandstones unconformably overlie basement at depths varying from 600 to 900 metres; prior geophysical surveys were not effective to this depth making the property prospective for current techniques.



(c)

Cree East Project, Saskatchewan



Comprised of eight contiguous mineral claims totaling 29,906 hectares, the Cree East Project lies about 35 km west of the formerly producing Key Lake mine and 5 to 22 km north of the south rim of the Athabasca Basin.  Sandstone unconformably overlies basement at depths in the order of 200 to 300 metres, and the property is considered re-explorable because of favoured location and relative ease of exploration.



(d)

Cree West Project, Saskatchewan



23





---



Two separate blocks of two claims each total 12,860 hectares are located 70 km northwest of the Key Lake mine and between 25 and 57 km north of the south rim of the basin. Athabasca sandstone overlies basement at depths of approximately 800 to 1000 metres.  The properties straddle a northeasterly trending structure that is being actively explored by others, and the Company is planning deep penetrating geophysical surveys.

(e)

Geikie Project, Saskatchewan



This project is comprised of a single claim of 12,860 hectares and lies on the southeast rim of the Athabasca Basin some 42 km southwest of the McArthur River mine.  Bedrock is in part Athabasca sandstone which overlies basement at depths varying from 0 to 200 metres, and in part by a mafic pluton intruding the sandstone. Uranium mineralization occurs in both previous drill holes and sandstone boulders.  New airborne geophysics and ground mapping and prospecting are planned.



(f)

Helmer Project, Saskatchewan



This contiguous block of one permit and 10 mineral claims totaling 52,687 hectares lies in the north-central part of the Athabasca Basin within 3 and 25 kilometers of the north rim and 50 km southeast of Uranium City.  Athabasca sandstones overlie Archean basement throughout most of the property with the unconformity at depths varying from 150 to 650 metres.  Prior operators located boulders of sandstone assaying up to 2.23% U3O8.  A recent airborne electromagnetic survey conducted by the Company detected  major basement conductors, which had not been detected by previous surveys. Detailed re-prospecting is underway and an airborne gravity-gradiometry survey is planned.



(g)

Hodgson Project, Saskatchewan



Seven contiguous claims totaling 30,262 hectares lie between 23 and 57 km west of the Cigar Lake Mine.  Uranium mineralization occurs in sandstone at Tucker lake, near the eastern end of the property, and prior drilling indicates 600 to 800 metres of sandstone overlying basement.  Deeper penetrating geophysical systems offer new prospectivity.



(h)

Key Project, Saskatchewan



This project is comprised of four mineral claims in three separate blocks totaling 5,493 hectares lying within 15 km of the formerly producing Key Lake mine.  Two lie a few km south of the Athabasca Basin and are underlain by basement rocks.  The third is underlain by sandstones overlying basement, at depths of 50 to 150 metres.  Sophisticated geophysical techniques will be applied to seek new targets in this previously explored area.



(i)

Lake Athabasca Project, Saskatchewan



This large project comprises 20 contiguous mineral claims totaling 104,347 hectares, chiefly on Lake Athabasca, southwest of Uranium City.  Islands south of Crackingstone Point and the former producing Gunnar Mine comprise about 8 % of the property area.  Athabasca group sandstones underlie an estimated 90% of the property with depths to underlying older metamorphic basement varying from 0 to 600 metres.  High grade uranium mineralization occurs in Athabasca sandstone at Stewart Island, in the northeast corner of the property.  A recent airborne electromagnetic-magnetic survey in the northeast sector of the property confirmed previously indicated shallow conductors and indicated new conductors at greater depths.  Additional airborne surveys are scheduled, to be followed by geophysics from the ice and diamond drilling.



(j)

McTavish Project, Saskatchewan



The McTavish property is a contiguous block of nine mineral claims covering 38,282 hectares, lying approximately 50 km southeast of the McArthur River mine and 40 km northwest of the Key Lake Mine, and to the west adjoins a property hosting the Millenium uranium deposit.  Athabasca sandstones overlie



24





---

metamorphic basement rocks throughout the property with depths to the unconformity which are estimated to be 400 to 600 metres.  Planned work includes deep-penetrating airborne and ground geophysical surveys.



(k)

Moon Project, Saskatchewan



This property is comprised of three mineral claims covering 4,785 hectares lying in two separate blocks approximately midway between the McArthur River and Key Lake mines.  The larger western block is approximately 8 km southeast of the Millenium uranium deposit.  Athabasca sandstones comprise bedrock and overlie basement rocks at depths of about 300 metres.Although intensively explored in thepast, more sophisticated contemporary geophysical and geochemical techniques are planned to seek new drill targets.



(l)

Waterbury Project, Saskatchewan



The Waterbury properties include nine mineral claims totaling (12,417 hectares) in six separate blocks lying within an area measuring approximately 20km x 30km.  One cluster of four blocks lies 10 km to 35 km northeast of the Cigar Lake Mine, and includes claim S-107965 on Waterbury Lake, midway between Cigar Lake and Midwest Lake mines along the strike of basement formations.  The other two blocks are, respectively, 10 and 20 km southeast of Cigar Lake mine; all are underlain by Athabasca group rocks unconformably overlying Aphebian and Archean basement rocks.  Depths to the unconformity are approximately 200 metres in southeasterly claims to 450 metres in the extreme northwest.  The area has been intensely explored, however, new technology is expected to revive its prospectivity.  Airborne geophysical surveys and ground follow-up are planned.



(m)

Northeast Project, Saskatchewan



The very large (198,438 hectares)Northeast Projectstraddles the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border and lies between 90 and 170 km northeast along the trend of basement formations from the cluster of uranium deposits which include Rabbit Lake, Collins Bay B and Eagle Point Mines.  The project is therefore not strictly within the Athabasca Basin; however, there is considerable evidence that the Athabasca Group rocks may once have extended over the project area and may have influenced uranium mineralization on the basement rocks now forming bedrock on the property.  Large areas of anomalously radioactivity have been recorded by airborne radiometric surveys and numerous uranium-bearing boulders of various basement rocks have been located; detailed ground prospecting and geological mapping is underway.



(n)

Elliot Lake Project, Ontario



In addition to the Athabasca uranium projects, the Company acquired by staking in October, 2004, and January, 2005, two groups of prospective uranium claims totaling 12 mineral claims and 145 claim units (approximately 2,320 acres).  Five of the claims (60 claim units) are located in Joubin Township, and the remaining 7 claims (85 claim units) are in Gaiashk Township.  The claims are in good standing until October 19, 2006, and January 31, 2007.



25





---

[canalaska20f090205004.jpg]

The claims are located approximately 10 km east of the town of Elliot Lake, Ontario, and cover reported uranium mineralization, the Pardee zone, and prospective uraniferous conglomerate units in the vicinity.  The western group of claims, located in Joubin Township, are underlain by the Matinenda Formation along the southern limb of the Quirke Syncline.  Previous work included geophysics, diamond drilling, and the driving of an adit in 1953 and 1954.  Diamond drilling indicated  U3O8 in what is known as the Pardee Zone.  Reported assays from two of the drill holes in the zone averaged 0.45% (9 lbs/ton) over 2 metres.  The claim group also extends to the west of this zone where previous diamond drilling obtained values in a conglomerate bed 3 metres thick of up to 0.064% (1.28 lbs/ton) U3O8.



The eastern group of claims, in Gaiashk Township, are also located in the southern limb of the Quirke Sycline, with uranium mineralization occurring in the Matinenda Formation.  Diamond drilling between 1953 and 1957 delineated a zone of uranium mineralization (known as the Pecors Zone) averaging 1.5 metres in thickness with a strike length of 400 metres.  At the west end of the claim group, two diamond drill holes drilled in 1954 and 1955 obtained 2 three-metre intersections assaying 0.03 and 0.036% U3O8 in the Whiskey Zone of the Matinenda Formation.



The Company is compiling the claim data to identify the potential extent of the higher grade areas to confirm and attempt to expand the higher grade mineralized zones.

Upon vesting with a 60% interest, PFN may elect within 90 days to earn a 70% interest in the property by placing the property into commercial production within two (2) years from the date of this election. In the event that the bankable Feasibility Study indicates an IRR in excess of 15%, PFN agrees to make annual cash payments of $50,000 to the company for each year the project is not placed into commercial production.



In the event that a major mining company elects to participate in the project before PFN vests with a 50% interest, PFN will issue shares to the value of $100,000 to the Company, within 15 days of PFN becoming vested, or such amount which will result in having PFN spent $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures.



PFN and the company will share the NSR buyout privileges in proportion to their respective interests.



This agreement was subject to acceptance by regulatory authorities, which was received subsequent to year end, 2004. Exploration expenditures required by April 15th, 2004, were made and the deadline was extended for one year due to the lack of drilling of contractors.  Recent work on the property included an airborne Mag/EM survey.

ITEM 5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS



A.

Operating Results



This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and related notes thereto included herein.



Critical Accounting Estimates



The preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses.  The most significant accounting estimates for the Company relate to the carrying value of its mineral property assets and accounting for stock-based compensation.  The Companys accounting policies are set out in full in Note 1 of the annual financial statements.



Mineral Property Costs



One of the most critical areas where estimates are used is in the area of the valuation of its carrying value of its mineral property costs.  Under Canadian GAAP, the Company records its interests in mineral properties at cost.  The costs of acquiring mineral properties and related exploration and development expenditures are deferred and would be amortized against future production following commencement of commercial production or are written off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned.  General exploration, overhead and administration costs are expensed in the period incurred.



The estimated values of all properties are assessed by management on a continual basis.  This assessment may be estimated by quantifiable evidence of a geological resource or reserve or the Companys assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount greater or less than the carrying value.  If the carrying values exceed estimated recoverable values, then the costs are written down to the estimated recoverable values.



Managements estimates of mineral prices, recoverable resources, and operating, capital and reclamation costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the recoverability of mineral property costs.  Although management has made its best estimate of these factors, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect managements estimate of the net cash flows to be generated from its properties.  The Company presently has no proven or probable reserves.



Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the related mineral property and deferred costs until the payments are in excess of costs incurred, at which time they are then credited to income.



Stock-Based Compensation



Another significant estimate relates to accounting for stock-based compensation.  Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility.  Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys stock options granted/vested during the year.





31





---

Significant estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, amongst other things, depreciation, determination of net recoverable value of assets, determination of fair value on taxes, contingencies and share compensation.



Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2005 Compared to Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2004



Overview



In early 2004, management made the decision to explore for uranium.  A decision precipitated by an increase in the price of uranium, as caused by a widening gap between supply and demand.  Throughout 2004, the price for uranium continued to climb, and the resulting investor confidence provided sufficient funding for our rapid growth, from our first land acquisition totalling just over 100,000 acres to our current land portfolio of 1,658,000 acres.  CanAlaska is now one of the largest landowners in the Athabasca Basin, and has assembled one of the largest teams undertaking field exploration in the area since the early 1980s.



The first airborne survey, completed within two weeks of flying time and undertaken at a minor fraction of the cost of ground surveys, identified unknown conductive target areas within 20 kilometres of the world class McArthur River mine.  Despite this proximity, these areas have experienced little previous exploration due to the depth of overlying sandstone cover (700-900 metres).  Until quite recently, blanket exploration over CanAlaskas vast landholdings in the Athabasca region, would have been near-impossible to finance in a junior company because of the high costs of ground work and the significant number of man-years required.  The invention of deep penetrating airborne EM surveys (using bigger aircraft, more powerful transmitters and receivers, and new computer abilities) typified by the state of the art MegaTEM II survey which we carried out late last year, has provided a quantum shift in the economics of exploring for these uranium megadeposits.  CanAlaska has extensive landholdings and is able to capitalize on this new technology to look for new uranium deposits in highly prospective areas.



CanAlaskas Northeast project area covers the extension of the uranium-rich rocks, which underlie the eastern edge of the Basin.  The advantage in this very large area is the exposure, on surface, of uranium-bearing rocks and our immediate ability to define zones of uranium mineralization using portable scintillometers.  Modern GPS units have allowed the rapid co-ordination of todays surveys with the knowledge gathered in the basin area over the past 30 years, and recent mapping and immediate imaging on GIS programs.  Our main focus is the first-pass exploration of all of our Athabasca landholdings and the preparation for extensive winter work on the best target areas.



Results of Operations



The year ended April 30, 2005 resulted in a net loss of $1,912,218 which compares with a loss of $712,481 for the same period in 2004. The loss for 2005 has been reduced by $534,300 which is the tax benefit associated with the renounciation of flow-through shares.  Even though the full amount of $534,300 has been recorded as a future income tax recovery, the Company will probably never realize this benefit.  General and administrative expenses for the year ended April 30, 2005 were $1,841,441 an increase of $1,098,519 over the same period in 2004. During the prior year, the Company adopted the new recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments, effective to all awards granted on of after 1 May 2003. The fair value of stock options that vested using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model resulted in stock-based compensation expense of $665,459 for the period ended April 30, 2005 compared to $157,000 for the previous year.  Travel, food and lodging expense increased by $141,195 and consulting fees increased by $120,322. All other general and administrative costs increased slightly when compared to the previous fiscal year as the Company was very active financing and incurring significant funds on exploration expenditures.



Interest income was $40,976, an increase of $25,668 over the same period in 2004 as the Company had significantly higher cash balances.





32





---

For the year ended April 30, 2005, the Company incurred mineral property costs of $1,985,509 as compared to $171,313 for the same period in 2004. Staking costs in Saskatchewan accounted for $562,402 of this amount. A geophysical airborne survey was completed for $431,522 and a further $428,688 incurred on exploration on the Saskatchewan properties.  A $40,482 cash payment and 50,000 shares valued at $14,000 option payment were received under the Rainbow Hill, Alaska option agreement.  20,000 shares of Pacific North West Capital valued at $13,800 and a $15,000 cash payment was also received under the Glitter Lake, Quebec option agreement. Mineral property costs in the amount of $539,151 were written-off as the Smoke Lake, Ontario, Otish Mountain, and Raglan Quebec properties agreements were terminated.



Investor Relations



Heightened market activity in all uranium stocks created significant trading activity in CanAlaska.  As a consequence the Company has required further staff to handle incoming enquiries, and to prepare documentation for trade shows during the year.  This increased activity is expected to continue in the current year. Shareholder relations and promotional activities undertaken by the Company, which included attendance at various trade shows, cost $289,738 for the year ended April 30, 2005, an increase of $206,620 over the same period in 2004.



U.S. GAAP requires that mineral property acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures be written off as incurred, or until economically recoverable proven and probable reserves are identified, at which time further costs incurred be deferred.  Mineral acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures during the twelve months ending April 30, 2005 were $1,429,576.



The loss under Canadian GAAP for the year ended April 30, 2005 was $1,912,218.  After adding write-off of mineral costs of $1,429,576, and the loss on write-down of short term investments of $64,061, a loss under U.S. GAAP of $3,277,733 is reported.  The loss per share under Canadian GAAP is $0.06 as compared to $0.10 loss per share under U.S. GAAP.



Outlook



CanAlaska currently has optioned the Glitter Lake project to Pacific North  West Capital Corp. (Pacific) in which Pacific is earning an interest in the project.  The Company ended 2005 with a stronger cash position that will enable it to continue its own exploration efforts in the United States, Canada and New Zealand as it continues to identify new projects through early stage grass roots exploration and managing risk by forming joint ventures in which partner companies explore and develop such projects in return for the right to earn an interest in them.  The Company has acquired through staking a significant land position in the Athabasca Basin area of Saskatchewan and is exploring these for high grade uranium deposits.



Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2004 Compared to Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2003



Overview



CanAlaska is an exploration stage Company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties of merit in Canada, the United States and New Zealand with the aim of developing them to a stage where they can be exploited at a profit or to arrange joint ventures whereby other companies provide funding for development and exploitation.



CanAlaska is developing its exploration programs in New Zealand, as we, along with many others believe that New Zealand hosts many under-explored gold targets. With a diverse suite of geologic terranes, a rich gold mining past, and large areas of prospective ground, there exists the strong possibility for mega-deposits of the Pacific Rim type. Recent reconnaissance work, coupled with in depth geological studies, has highlighted a striking similarity between the Tintina Gold Belt, Alaska (Pogo, True North, Ft Knox) and the geology of the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. In other areas we see the considerable potential for PGM, silver and base metal targets.



33





---



CanAlaska has selected several areas on which to focus its exploration activities, a large gold rich epithermal system on the North Island, and a series of intrusive plutons, that may be the ultimate source for the rich placer goldfields of the west coast of the South Island are all covered by a series of CanAlaska licenses. In Otago, in the south of the South Island, CanAlaska is actively continuing negotiations with potential partners to explore new areas in the Otago goldfields.



North America



CanAlaska also continues to maintain an active property portfolio including a 128 claims in the Raglan Nickel Belt of Northern Quebec where recent interest has been fuelled by high-grade platinum group metal values announced by Canadian Royalties in late 2002, and in Labrador where we hold nickel and gold exploration targets, and in Quebec where we hold claims staked for diamond exploration.



Gold in Alaska - Rainbow Hill



Last fall, CanAlaska entered into a joint venture on its Rainbow Hill Property, located approximately 3 miles upstream from the Valdez Creek placer gold mine which produced over 500,000 troy ounce of gold until 1996. Most of the placer gold production from the district came from Valdez Creek and its major south tributary, White Creek. The Rainbow Hill project is centered on Gold Hill and Lucky Hill which are located above White Creek.



Results of Operation



The fiscal year ended April 30, 2004 resulted in a net loss of $712,481 which compares with a loss of $558,663 for the same period in 2003. General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004 were $742,922 an increase of $298,216 over the same period in 2003. Stock-based compensation expense of $157,000 were recorded under consulting fees. In the previous fiscal year no stock-based compensation amount was recorded.  Travel, food and lodging expense increased by $14,376 while all other general and administrative costs were relatively the same when compared to the previous fiscal year. The Company adopted the new recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments, effective to all awards granted on of after 1 May 2002. As encouraged by CICA Handbook Section 3870, the Company has enacted prospectively early adoption of the fair value based method of accounting for awards issued to employees and non-employees for the fiscal year beginning 1 May 2003.  The new standard requires that all stock-based awards made to employees and non-employees be measured and recognized using a fair value based method.  In prior years, stock-based compensation expense was only recognized when stock-based compensation awards were made to non-employees, while pro-forma disclosure was acceptable for awards made to employees.



Mineral property costs of $24,855 were written off as compared to $211,946 the year before. A $49,624 capital gain was realized on the sale of investments as compared to $139,390 over the same period in 2003. Interest income was $15,308, an increase of $12,485 over the same period in 2003 as the Company had significantly higher cash balances.



For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the Company incurred mineral property costs of $171,313 as compared to $261,805 for the same period in 2003.



Shareholder relations and promotional activities undertaken by the Company, which included attendance at various trade shows, cost $83,118 for the period ended April 30, 2004, an increase of $43,551 over the same period in 2003.



U.S. GAAP requires that mineral property acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures be written off as incurred, or until economically recoverable proven and probable reserves are identified, at which time



34





---

further costs incurred be deferred.  Mineral acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures during the twelve months ending April 30, 2004 were $273,313.



The loss under Canadian GAAP for the year ended April 30, 2004 was $712,481.  After adding write-off of mineral costs of $273,458, and the loss on write-down of portfolio investments of $55,463, a loss under U.S. GAAP of $930,476 is reported.  The loss per share under Canadian GAAP is $0.03 as compared to $0.05 loss per share under U.S. GAAP.



CanAlaska currently has two option agreements in which other companies are earning an interest in CanAlaskas projects by carrying all costs and making significant exploration expenditures.  The Company ended 2004 with a stronger cash position that will enable it to continue its own exploration effects in the United States, Canada and New Zealand seeking to identify new projects through early stage grass roots exploration and managing risk by forming joint ventures in which partner companies exploration and develop such projects in return for the right to earn an interest in them.



Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2003 Compared to Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2002



Overview



CanAlaska continues to focus its exploration activities on gold projects. The continuous upward trend of gold has created a renewed interest in some of CanAlaskas holdings. Most notably a Joint Venture Agreement was signed with Freegold Ventures Limited to explore its Rainbow Hill Project in the Valdez Creek area of Alaska.  Exploration plans are currently being developed for a Fall exploration program. Alaska continues to remain a key area for gold exploration with annual gold discovery rates estimated at some 7 Million oz/year at an average cost of  $5/oz.



CanAlaska completed the first hard rock drilling on the Rainbow Hill project in 1990, which resulted in the identification of a 90,285 ounce drill inferred gold resource. There remain several other drill ready targets to be tested, and current exploration activities are expected to focus on expanding current landholdings and exploring this promising new area.



CanAlaska has also acquired gold properties in the Red Lake area of Ontario, considered by many to be the richest gold camp in the world. CanAlaska may earn a 100% interest in two projects located in the Birch Uchi and Red Lake greenstone belts, both of which are considered to be highly prospective for the discovery of high grade gold mineralization. Several major mining companies are exploring in the immediate vicinity CanAlaskas claims.



CanAlaska remains active on its Glitter Lake PGM property where Pacific North West Capital Corp. (PFN) recently entered into an Option Agreement. The Glitter Lake property covers the projected northern and southern extensions of the Horden Lake Cu-Ni deposit. Historical work mentioned the Platinum-Group element (PGE) potential of the area but no specific PGE values were reported. CanAlaska conducted an IP survey on the Property, which identified 5 high priority targets showing good strike continuity. Follow-up prospecting was completed over these target areas and a total of 98 grab samples were collected from gabbroic outcrop exposures. Several of the grab samples analyzed returned significant Cu-Ni and associated PGE values Of the 98 samples 21 assayed >100 ppb 3E with 5 samples assaying over 1⁄2 gram. PFN is currently planning the next phase of exploration, which is expected to include a drill component.



CanAlaska is actively seeking joint venture partners in order to explore its Otish Mountain Diamond Projects, which are located SE and NW of the diamond bearing Ashton/Soquem property where 7 diamondiferous kimberlitic bodies have been delineated. CanAlaska has completed a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey which has resulted in the identification of some 30 circular to elliptical magnetic features which may be attributable to kimberlitic bodies.  A ground follow-up program consisting of prospecting and till sampling with the work concentrated in the down ice direction from the magnetic anomalies has been recommended.





35





---

In addition to these projects CanAlaska holds additional gold and base metal properties throughout BC and Newfoundland/Labrador.  CanAlaska holds a considerable investment portfolio within the mining exploration industry totalling over 2.4 million free trading shares. CanaAlaska is continuing to seek additional projects of merit for exploration and development throughout North America and Internationally.



Results of the Operation



The fiscal year ending April 30, 2003 resulted in a net loss of $558,663 which compares with a loss of $1,057,328 for the same period in 2002. General and administrative expenses for the year ending April 30, 2003 were $447,706, an increase of $13,635 over the same period in 2002. Consulting fees of $90,548 were recorded which increased $33,668 over the previous year amount of $56,880.  Mineral property costs of $211,946 were written off while all other general and administrative costs were comparable to the previous year. During the year, the company adopted the new recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments.  It is applied on a prospective basis and applies to all awards granted on or after 1 January 2002.  The fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for non-employees will be used to calculate the value to directors and employees. No options were granted during the year.



During the year ended April 30, 2003, $126,944 was incurred to acquire mineral properties with $67,300 of this amount through the issuance of 260,000 shares. Mineral property costs of $187,161 were incurred with $64,822 being recovered.



Investor and shareholder relations activities undertaken by the company during the year ended April 30, 2003 cost $39,567 as compared to $52,094 for the same period in 2002.  These activities included attendance at various trade shows.



U.S. GAAP requires that mineral property acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures be written off as incurred, or until economically recoverable proven and probable reserves are identified, at which time further costs incurred be deferred.  Mineral acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures during the twelve months ending April 30, 2003 were $249,283.



The loss under Canadian GAAP for the year ended April 30, 2002 was $558,663.  After adding write-off of mineral costs of $37,337, and the loss on write-down of portfolio investments of $35,153, a loss under U.S. GAAP of $560,847 is reported.  The loss per share under Canadian GAAP is $0.04 as compared to $0.04 loss per share under U.S. GAAP.



U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributed to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.



B.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Company expects that its existing requirements arising from the evaluation of its existing mineral properties and fulfilling its exploration commitments will be met from the companys existing cash position.  The Company has sufficient funds to meet its general and administrative expenses over the next 12 months to complete its proposed exploration programs.  The Labrador, Quesnel Canyon, and Zebellos projects have no internal exploration funds budgeted.  Certain existing third party expenditures are required and further joint ventures with third parties are continually being negotiated to further develop these properties.



The Companys future profitability is dependent on the successful definition of geological resources on its mining properties and the establishment of positive comprehensive feasibility studies on these geological resources.  Upon completion of positive feasibility studies, the Companys success is dependent on the successful construction, financing and operation of a facility to extract the minerals from the geological resource located.  The Company will continue to seek new mining opportunities.  The Company presently has no producing properties, and the Companys material properties contain no known mineral reserves; the limited activities on such properties to date have been exploratory in nature.  Except as disclosed herein, the Company does not possess reliable information concerning the history of previous operations including the names of previous operators, if any, on any of its properties.



Future profitability will also be affected by the level of taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Company operates.  Furthermore, the Companys operations may be affected by regulatory authorities in the jurisdications in which the Company operates.  The Company is not currently aware of any factors or current recommendations by the taxation or regulatory authorities in Canada that may have a material impact on the Companys operations.



The Company is in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties and does not have an established source of revenue at this time, except that the company receives fees on projects where it acts as operator.  The Company's historical capital needs have been met by equity subscriptions from both private investors (including members of management) and the public.



The business of exploring for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  The exploration and development of the Company's properties is dependent on the Company's ability to obtain necessary financing or find appropriate strategic partners.  In addition, there is no certainty that expenditures to be made by the Company in the exploration of any of its properties will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of ore.



Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2005 Compared to Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2004



As at April 30, 2005, the Companys working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $2,386,212 compared with working capital of $1,625,636 at April 30,2004. Flow-through funds of $934,725 must be spent before Dec. 31, 2005 on qualified Canadian mineral exploration, and is not included in working capital because it is classified as restricted cash on the balance sheet.



During the year ended April 30, 2005, 11,050,000 private placement units were issued for gross proceeds of $3,690,000.  A further 4,110,000 warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of $594,505 and 287,000 options were exercised for gross proceeds of $66,050.



The Company has short-term investments with a book value of $364,983 and market value of $464,657 as at April 30, 2005. The main investments consist of 1,051,800 shares of Pacific North West Capital Corp. and 343,007 shares of Freegold Ventures Limited. Both these companies have certain directors in common. These

Composition of the Compensation Committee



44





---



The Compensation Committee is comprised of Harry Barr, who is a related director, Hubert Marleau and Bernard Barlin who are unrelated Directors.  The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation paid to directors, management, and employees based on such factors as time commitment, comparative fees paid by other companies in the industry in North America and level of responsibility and the Companys current position as an exploration company with limited operating revenue.



Report on Executive Compensation



The Companys executive compensation program is administered by the Board of Directors and is designed to provide incentives for the enhancement of shareholder value.  The overall objectives are to attract and retain qualified executives critical to the success of the Company, to provide fair and competitive compensation, to align the interest of management with those of shareholders and to reward corporate and individual performance.  The compensation package has been structured so as to link shareholder return, measured by the change in the share price, with executive compensation through the use of stock options as the primary element of variable compensation.  The Company does not currently offer long-term incentive plans or pension plans to its senior officers.



The relative emphasis of the Company on cash compensation options, SARs securities purchase programs, shares or units that are subject to restrictions on resale and other incentive plans is variable.  The Companys cash compensation to named executive officers tends to stay leveled and constant, while any options, SARs security purchase programs are left to the discretion of the Board of Directors and therefore may fluctuate from year to year.



The Company takes into consideration the issuance of options, SARs, shares and units the grants made in previous years and the number that remain outstanding along with the amount of options remaining issuable under the Companys Stock Option Plan.



The Company bases the compensation for the Companys executive officers on the years of service with the Company, responsibilities of each officer and their duties in that position.  The Company also bases compensation on the performance of each officer.  The Company believes that stock options can create a strong incentive to the performance of each officer and is intended to recognize extra contributions and achievements towards the goals of the Company.



The Companys Board of Directors, while determining cash compensation to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer takes into consideration the extensive experience in the mining industry, responsibilities and duties as CEO and CFO, respectively, as well as personal risks and contributions to the Companys success.  Both the CEO and the CFO have base cash compensations which the Company feels is competitive to similar companies in North America; however, no formal survey was completed by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors.



Compensation of Directors



Through the end of 2004, the directors of the Company did not receive compensation from the Company and/or its subsidiaries in their capacity as directors.  Commencing February 1, 2005 the outside directors will be remunerated as follows: $1,500 per quarter, $500 per directors meeting and $500 per committee meeting.

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers



None of the current or former directors, executive officers or employees of the Company or persons who were directors, executive officers or employees of the Company at any time during the Companys last completed financial year, none of the proposed nominees for election of directors of the Company and none of the associates or affiliates of such persons are or have been indebted to the Company (or its subsidiaries) at any time since the beginning of the last completed financial year to the current financial year ended April 30, 2005.  Furthermore, none of such persons were indebted to a third party during such period where their indebtedness was the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Company or its subsidiaries.



Interest of Management and Insiders in Material Transactions



None of the Directors, executive officers or other informed persons of the Company, nor any proposed nominee for election as a Directors of the Company, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of such person or company, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Companys last completed financial year, or in any proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except as disclosed herein.



Re-appointment of Auditors



Staley Okada & Partners, Chartered Accountants will be nominated at the Companys annual general meeting for re-election as the Companys auditors for the ensuing year.  Remuneration of Staley Okada & Partners is to be determined by the Companys Board of Directors.



C.

Board Practices



The directors hold office for a term of one year or until the next annual general meeting of the Company, at which time all directors retire, and are eligible for re-election.



The Companys Audit Committee is comprised of Colin Bird, Bernard Barlin, and Hubert Marleau.  The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and its members hold office until removed by the Board of Directors or until the next annual general meeting of the Company, at which time their appointments expire and they are then eligible for re-appointment.  The Audit Committee review the audited financial statements of the Company and liaises with the Companys auditors and recommends to the Board of Directors whether or not to approve such statements.  At the request of the Companys auditors, the Audit Committee must convene a meeting to consider any matters which the auditor believes should be brought to the attention of the Board of Directors or the shareholders of the Company.



Statement Of Corporate Governance Practices



Corporate governance relates to activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day management of the Company.  The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.  The Companys general approach to corporate governance is summarized below.  The Board is currently reviewing the guidelines for improved corporate governance in Canada adopted by the TSX (the Exchange Guidelines).



The Board is currently composed of four directors.

The Exchange Guidelines suggest that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as unrelated directors.  An unrelated director is a director who



46





---

is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the directors ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding.  In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, the Exchange Guidelines suggest that the board of directors should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the Company or the significant shareholder.  Of the proposed nominees, three are considered by the Board to be unrelated within the meaning of the Exchange Guidelines.



Mandate of the Board of Directors



The mandate of the Board, as prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), is to manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company.  In doing so, the Board oversees the management of the Companys affairs directly and through its committees.  In fulfilling its mandate, the Board, among other matters, is responsible for reviewing and approving the Companys overall business strategies and its annual business plan, reviewing and approving the annual corporate budget and forecast, reviewing and approving significant capital investments outside the approved budget; reviewing major strategic initiatives to ensure the Companys proposed actions accord with shareholder objectives; reviewing succession planning; assessing managements performance against approved business plans and industry standards; reviewing and approving the reports and other disclosure issued to shareholders; ensuring the effective operation of the Board; and safeguarding shareholders equity interests through the optimum utilization of the Companys capital resources.



Meetings of the Board



The Board plans to meet at least quarterly to review, among other things, the performance of the Company.  Results are compared and measured against a previously established plan and performance in prior years.  The Board also holds a meeting each year to review and assess the Companys financial budget and business plan for the ensuing year and its overall strategic objectives.  This process establishes, among other things, benchmarks against which the Board may measure the performance of management.  Other meetings of the Board are called to deal with special matters as circumstances require.



Committee Responsibilities and Activities



Committees of the Board are an integral part of the Companys governance structure.  There are three standing committees (the Committees), established to devote the necessary expertise and resources to particular areas, and to enhance the quality of discussion at Board meetings.  The Committees facilitate effective Board decision making by providing recommendations to the Board on matters within their respective responsibilities.  The Board believes that the Committees assist in the effective functioning of the Board and that the composition of the Committees should ensure that the views of unrelated and independent directors are effectively represented.



A summary of the responsibilities and activities and the membership of each of the Committees is set out below:



Audit Committee



The Audit Committee is comprised of Colin Bird, Bernard Barlin, and Hubert Marleau who are financially literate in accordance with National Securities Legislation.



The Exchange Guidelines recommend that an audit committee be comprised only of outside directors.



The Audit Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval the annual financial statements and the annual report of the Company.  The quarterly financial statements of the Company are reviewed by the Audit Committee and the Board.  In addition, the Audit Committee is charged with the responsibility of



47





---

monitoring the integrity of the Companys internal controls and management information systems.  For the purposes of performing these duties, the members of the Audit Committee have the right, at all times, to inspect all of the books and financial records of the Company and to discuss with management and the auditors of the Company any accounts, records and matters relating to the financial statements of the Company.



Additional information regarding the audit committee may be found in Item 16A.



Compensation Committee



The Compensation Committee is comprised of Harry Barr, Hubert Marleau and Bernard Barlin.  Mr. Barr is a related director and Mr. Marleau and Mr. Barlin are unrelated directors.  The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation paid to directors, management, and employees based on such factors as time commitment, comparative fee paid by other companies in the industry in North America and level of responsibility and the Companys current position as an exploration company with limited operating revenue.

Corporate Governance Committee



The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing matters relating to corporate governance and making recommendations to the Board with respect thereto.



This Committee meets at least once annually.  Currently, the members are Harry Barr, Hubert Marleau, and Bernard Barlin.



Nomination and Assessment



The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a process has not been adopted.  The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and the President and Chief Executive Officer.  The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions.



Expectations of Management



The Board expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity.  Management is expected to execute the Companys business plan and to meet performance goals and objectives.

Stock Option Plan



The Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) on September 5, 1995.  The Board of Directors of the Company may allocate non-transferable options to purchase common shares of the company to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The aggregate number of shares to be issued upon exercise of all options granted under the Plan and the aggregate number of shares to be issued to an individual upon exercise of options granted under the Plan shall not exceed the maximum number of shares permitted to be issued under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed or other regulatory body having jurisdiction.



Amendment to Stock Option Plan



Disinterested shareholders of the Company (being those shareholders who are not Insiders of the Company as that term is defined under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) will be asked to approve, by simple majority of the disinterested shareholders, the amendment to the Companys Stock Option Plan (the Plan) to increase the maximum number of shares of the Company which may be allocated for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options under the Plan from 5,462,887 to 9,286,419.  Upon receipt of disinterested shareholder approval to this amendment, the Company will seek approval to same from the TSX Venture Exchange.  Both shareholder approval and TSX Venture Exchange approval are required before the amendment to the Plan may be implemented.



Purpose of Resolution



The Plan currently provides that the aggregate number of shares of the Company that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 5,462,887 shares:

During the year ended April 30, 2005 there were no material contracts entered into by the Company other than contracts entered into during the ordinary course of business.



D.

Exchange Controls



There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of Common Shares, other than withholding tax requirements.



There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by the constituent documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote Common Shares, other than are provided in the Investment Canada Act (Canada).  The following summarizes the material features of the Investment Canada Act (Canada).



The Investment Canada Act (Canada) requires certain "non-Canadian" individuals, governments, corporations or other entities who wish to acquire a "Canadian business" (as defined in the Investment Canada Act), or establish a "new Canadian business" (as defined in the Investment Canada Act) to file either a notification or an application for review with a governmental agency known as "Investment Canada".  The Investment Canada Act requires that certain acquisitions of control by a Canadian business by a "non-Canadian" must be reviewed and approved by the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act on the basis that the Minister is satisfied that the acquisition is "likely to be of net benefit to Canada", having regard to criteria set



57





---

forth in the Investment Canada Act.  Only acquisitions of control are reviewable under the Investment Canada Act; however, the Investment Canada Act provides detailed rules for the determination of whether control has been acquired and, pursuant to those rules, the acquisition of one-third or more of the voting shares of a corporation may, in some circumstances, be considered to constitute an acquisition of control.  Certain reviewable acquisitions of control may not be implemented before being approved by the Minister; if the Minister does not ultimately approve a reviewable acquisition which has been completed, the acquired Canadian business be divested.  Failure to comply with the review provisions of the Investment Canada Act could result in, among other things, an injunction or a court order directing disposition of assets or shares.



E.

Taxation



Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences



The following is a general discussion of certain possible United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined) of common shares of the Company. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences. (See Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences below).



The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation, which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. This discussion is for general information only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to United States federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Company.



U.S. Holders



As used herein, a U.S. Holder means a holder of common shares of the Company who is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United Sates or of any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, nonresident alien individuals, or foreign corporations whose ownership of common shares of the Company is not effectively connected with conduct on a trade or a business in the United States, persons or entities that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or a conversion transaction, and shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services. This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets. This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.





58





---

Distribution on Common Shares of the Company



U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions, equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings or profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holders federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holders federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (See more detailed discussion at Foreign Tax Credit below.) To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holders adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder, which is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder, which is a corporation.



In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, an individual whose realized gain does not exceed $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are no expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip) or as an expense for the production of income.



Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder which is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% (or 80%) deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a foreign personal holding company or a passive foreign investment company, as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% (or 20%) of the voting power and value of the Company. The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.



Information Reporting and Backup Withholding



Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid on the Companys common shares, if any, generally will not be subject to information reporting and generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. However, dividends and the proceeds from a sale of the Companys common shares paid in the U.S. through a U.S. or U.S. related paying agent (including a broker) will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and may also be subject to the 30% U.S. backup withholding tax, unless the paying agent is furnished with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.



Foreign Tax Credit



A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayers income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation



59





---

that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holders United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holders foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as passive income, high withholding tax interest, financial services income, shipping income, and certain other classifications of income. Dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute passive income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, financial services income for these purposes. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific, and U.S. Holders of common shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.



Disposition of Common Shares of the Company



A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholders tax basis in the common shares of the Company. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders which are individuals, estates or trusts. This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares of the Company are held for more than one year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. For U.S. Holders who are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital.



Currency Exchange Gains or Losses



U.S. Holders generally are required to calculate their taxable incomes in United States dollars. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder who purchases common shares of the Company with Canadian dollars will be required to determine the tax basis of such shares in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing on the settlement date of the purchase (and may be required to recognize the unrealized gain or loss, if any, in the Canadian currency surrendered in the purchase transaction). Similarly, a U.S. Holder receiving dividends or sales proceeds from common shares of the Company in Canadian dollars will be required to compute the dividend income or the amount realized on the sale, as the case may be, in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing at the time of receipt in the case of dividends and on the settlement date in the case of sales on an established securities exchange. Gain or loss, if any, recognized on a disposition of Canadian currency in connection with the described transaction generally will be treated as ordinary gain or loss.



Other Considerations



In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares:



Foreign Personal Holding Company



If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Companys outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% or more of the Companys gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), the Company may be treated as a foreign personal holding company. In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income. The Company does not believe that it currently qualifies as a foreign personal holding company. However, there can be no assurance that the



60





---

Company will not be considered a foreign personal holding company for the current or any future taxable year.



Foreign Investment Company



If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Companys outstanding shares are held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Company may be treated as a foreign investment company as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain. The Company does not believe that it currently qualifies as a foreign investment company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be considered a foreign investment company for the current or any future taxable year.



Passive Foreign Investment Company



The Code contains rules governing passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) which can have significant tax effects on U.S. Holders of foreign corporations. These rules do not apply to non-U.S. Holders. Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States and, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the Company is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income is 50% or more. The Company believes that it qualified as a PFIC for the fiscal year ended April 30,1988 and the fiscal years ended from April 30, 1989 through April 30, 2005.  There can be no assurance that the Companys determination concerning its PFIC status will not be challenged by the IRS, or that it will be able to satisfy record keeping requirements which will be imposed on a qualified electing fund (QEF). Each U.S. Holder of the Company is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.



A U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to United States federal income taxation under one of two alternative tax regimes at the election of each such U.S. Holder. The following is a discussion of such two alternative tax regimes applied to such U.S. Holders of the Company. In addition, special rules apply if a foreign corporation qualifies as both a PFIC and a controlled foreign corporation (as defined below) and a U.S. Holder owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of classes of stock entitled to vote of such foreign corporation (See more detailed discussion at Controlled Foreign Corporation below).



A U.S. Holder who elects in a timely manner to treat the Company as a QEF (an Electing U.S. Holder) will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current federal income tax for any taxable year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC on his pro rata share of the Companys (i) net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to the Electing U.S. Holder and (ii) ordinary earnings (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income to the Electing U.S. Holder, in each case, for the shareholders taxable year in which (or with which) the Companys taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed.



The effective QEF election also allows the Electing U.S. Holder to (i) generally treat any gain realized on the disposition of his Company common shares (or deemed to be realized on the pledge of his shares) as capital gain; (ii) treat his share of the Companys net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income; and (iii) either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of the Companys annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the Electing U.S.



61





---

Holder is not a corporation, such an interest charge would be treated as personal interest that is not deductible.



The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holders holding period in which the Company is a PFIC. If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year, i.e., a timely QEF election, then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files his tax return for such first year. If, however, the Company qualified as a PFIC in a prior year, then in addition to filing documents, the U.S. Holder must elect to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (discussed herein), any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date or if the Company is a controlled foreign corporation, the U.S. Holders pro rata share of the Companys post-1986 earnings and profits as of the qualification date. The qualification date is the first day of the Companys first tax year in which the Company qualified as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The elections to recognize such gain or earnings and profits can only be made if such U.S. Holders holding period for the common shares of the Company includes the qualification date. By electing to recognize such gain or earnings and profits, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have made a timely QEF election. A U.S. Holder who made elections to recognize gain or earnings and profits after May 1, 1992 and before January 27, 1997 may, under certain circumstances, elect to change such U.S. Holders qualification date to the first day of the first QEF year. U.S. Holders are urged to consult a tax advisor regarding the availability of and procedure for electing to recognize gain or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules. In addition, special rules apply if a foreign corporation qualifies as both a PFIC and a controlled foreign corporation (as defined below) and a U.S. Holder owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of classes of stock entitled to vote of such foreign corporation. (See more detailed discussion at Controlled Foreign Corporation below).



If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds Company common shares, then the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Company common shares, even if it is no longer definitionally a PFIC. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules discussed above for Non-Electing U.S. Holders) as if such Company common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which it was a PFIC.



Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC, may annually elect to mark such stock to the market (a mark-to-market election). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 discussed above. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to the Companys common shares. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to-market election will include in income for the taxable year for which the election was made an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holders adjusted basis in such common shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in common shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the common shares in the Company included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior tax year but for the Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to Non-Electing U.S. Holders, over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the common shares of the Company will be adjusted to reflect the amount included in or deducted from income as a result of a mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each subsequent taxable year, unless the Companys common shares cease to be marketable, as specifically defined, or the Secretary of the IRS consents to revocation of the election. Because the IRS has not established procedures for making a mark-to-market election, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the manner of making such an election.

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued Proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by Non-Electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases the basis of the Company common shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in exchange for those common shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. Under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, an Electing U.S. Holder would not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. The transferees basis in this case will depend on the manner of transfer. In a transfer at death, for example, the transferees basis is equal to (i) the fair market value of the Electing U.S. Holders common shares reduced by the U.S. Holders adjusted basis in these common shares at death. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the common shares are transferred. Each U.S. Holder of the Company is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.



Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to the Company common shares while the Company is a PFIC whether or not it is treated as a QEF. For example, under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such shares.



If the Company is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders who do not make timely QEF Elections (as discussed above) will be subject to a number of special tax rules. For example, gains recognized on disposition of the Company stock or the receipt of an excess distribution from the Company is (i) treated as if it were ordinary income earned  ratably on each day of the period the U.S. Holder owns shares of the Company at the highest marginal rate in effect during the period in which it was deemed included and (ii) subject to an interest charge as if the resulting tax had actually been due in such earlier year or years (An excess distribution is the amount of any distribution received by the U.S. Holder during the taxable year that exceeds 125% of the immediately preceding three year average of distributions received from the Company, subject to certain adjustments.) Proposed Regulations broadly define a disposition to include any transaction or event that constitutes an actual or deemed transfer of property for any purpose under the Code, including (but not limited to) a sale, exchange, gift, transfer at death, and the pledging of PFIC stock to secure a loan. If the tax described above is not imposed on transfer at death, the recipient of the PFIC stock receives a basis in the transferred stock equal to the lesser of the fair market value or the adjusted basis of the stock in the hands of the U.S. Holder immediately before death. Finally, the foregoing rules will continue to apply with respect to a U.S. Holder who held the stock of the Company while the Company met the definition of a PFIC even if the Company ceases to meet the definition of a PFIC.



Controlled Foreign Corporation



If more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote or the total value of the shares of the Company is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701 (a)(31), each of which own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company (United States Shareholder), the Company could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would effect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion of certain income of a CFC which is subject to current U.S. tax. The United States generally taxes United States Shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such United States Shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFCs Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of the CFCs earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder of common shares of the Company which is or was a United States Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company



63





---

attributable to shares sold or exchanged. If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the CFC. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of United States Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of United States Shareholders. Special rules apply to United States Shareholders who are subject to the special taxation rules under Section 1291 discussed above with respect to a PFIC. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside the scope of this discussion. The Company does not believe that it currently qualifies as a CFC. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.



Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences



The summary below is restricted to the case of a holder (a Holder) of one or more common shares who for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Act) is a non-resident of Canada, holds his common shares as capital property and deals at arms length with the Company.



The following is a general discussion of certain possible Canadian federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a non-resident of Canada (as hereinafter defined) of common shares of the Company. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described above as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any provincial, local or foreign tax consequences.





64





---

Dividends



A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax (Part XIII Tax) equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on his common shares. Under the 1995 Protocol amending the Canada-US Income Tax Convention (1980) (the Treaty) the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States is, if the Holder is a company that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company, 5% and in any other case, 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder.



Capital Gains



A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain (or capital loss) thereby realized unless the common share constituted taxable Canadian property as defined by the Act. Generally, a common share will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder unless he held the common shares as capital property used by him carrying on a business (other than an insurance business) in Canada, or he or persons with whom he did not deal at arms-length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the five years preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company.



A Holder who is resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common share is derived from, or forms an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding disposition, or ( c) the Holder (i) was a resident of Canada at any time within the ten years immediatelythe disposition and for a total of 120 months during the 20 years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be a resident of Canada.



A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain on disposition of a common share must include one-half of the capital gain (taxable capital gain) in computing his taxable income earned in Canada. This Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct one half of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect of taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains of any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.



F.

Dividends and Paying Agents



The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its outstanding Common Shares since its inception and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future.  The declaration of dividends on the Common Shares of the Company is within the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend upon the assessment of, among other factors, earnings, capital requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company.  At the present time the Company's anticipated capital requirements are such that it intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the further development of its business.



The Company is limited in its ability to pay dividends on its Common Shares by limitations under British Columbia law relating to the sufficiency of profits from which dividends may be paid.  Under the British Columbia Company Act the declaration of a dividend is authorized by resolution of the board of directors.  Under subsection 151(1) of the British Columbia Company Act, directors of a company who vote for, or consent to, a resolution authorizing the payment of a dividend if: (a) the company is insolvent; or (b) the payment renders the Company insolvent, are jointly and severally liable to the Company to make good any loss or damage suffered by the company as a result.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK



The Company anticipates its primary market risk, if any, to be related to fluctuations in exchange rates. Exchange rate risk may arise if the Company is required to use different currencies for various aspects of its operations.  At present, the functional currency for the Company is the Canadian dollar.  Based on the Companys overall exchange rate risk as at April 30, 2005, the Company believes that a ten percent change in exchange rates would not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or changes in financial position.  The Company intends to monitor its exchange rate risk and take reasonable steps to reduce its exposure.  The Company does not intend to purchase or sell derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2005, being the date of the Companys most recently completed fiscal year end.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Peter Dasler and the Companys Chief Financial Officer, Gordon Steblin.  Based upon the evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure



66





---

controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to it required to be included in the Companys period SEC filings.  There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that significantly affected or could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out the evaluation.



Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



During the Companys most recently completed financial year ended April 30, 2004, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, its internal control over financial reporting.



The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrants principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrants board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:



Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;



Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and



Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of the registrants assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

CERTIFICATE OF ETHICS FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

AND THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER





In my role as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of CanAlaska Ventures Ltd. (the Company), I have adhered to and advocated to the best of my knowledge and ability the following principles and responsibilities governing professional conduct and ethics:



Act with honesty and integrity, handling in an ethical manner any actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.  A conflict of interest exists when an individuals private interests interfere or conflict in any way (or even appear to interfere or conflict) with the interests of the Company.



Provide constituents with information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable.  If I am the CEO or CFO, I shall review the Companys annual reports before certifying and filing them with the SEC.



Comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of federal, provincial, territorial, state and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.



Act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing my independent judgment to be subordinated.



Respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of business except when authorized or otherwise legally obligated to disclose the information.  I acknowledge that confidential information acquired in the course of business is not to be used for personal advantage.



Promote ethical behavior among employees at the Company and as a responsible partner with industry peers and associates.



Maintain control over and responsibly manage all assets and resources employed or entrusted to me by the Company.



Report illegal or unethical conduct by any director, officer or employee that has occurred, is occurring or may occur, including any potential violations of the Companys Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code).  Such report shall be made to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and shall include conduct of a financial or non-financial nature.



Comply with the Code.  I understand that if I violate any part of the Code, I will be subject to disciplinary action.



I understand that the Code is subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations.



I understand that there shall be no waiver of, modification of, or change to any part of the Code except by a vote of the Board of Directors or a designated Board committee.  In the event that a waiver of, modification of, or a change to the Code is granted, then the notice of the waiver, modification and/or change shall be posted on the Companys website within five business days of the Board of Directors or designated Board committees vote or shall be disclosed otherwise as required by applicable law or Stock Exchange or SEC rules.  Notices posted on the Company website shall remain there for a period of 12 months and shall be retained in the Companys files as required by law.

The following table discloses the aggregate fees billed for each of the last two financial years for professional services rendered by the Companys audit firm for various services in Canadian Dollars.

From time to time, management of the Company recommends to and requests approval from the audit committee for non-audit services to be provided by the Companys auditors.  The audit committee routinely considers such requests at committee meetings, and if acceptable to a majority of the audit committee members, pre-approves such non-audit services by a resolution authorizing management to engage the Companys auditors for such non-audit services, with set maximum dollar amount for each itemized service.  During such deliberations, the audit committee assesses, among other factors, whether the services requested would be considered prohibited services as contemplated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and whether the services requested and the fees related to such services could impair the independence of the auditors.



As 2004 was the first year of the audit committee pre-approval process, only the audit and tax services rendered in the year ended April 30, 2004 were pre-approved by the audit committee.
