Why Plains All American Pipeline Stock Was a Winner on Wednesday
Plains All American Pipeline (NASDAQ: PAA) stock was the pipeline to increased gains for investors on Wednesday. They traded the shares up by nearly 4% on news of an important divestment, and that rate easily beat the essentially flat-lining S&P 500 index.
Selling the Canadian NGL business
After market close on Tuesday, Plains and its majority owner, Plains GP Holdings (NASDAQ: PAGP), disclosed that they had finalized agreements to sell "substantially all" of their natural gas liquids (NGL) business.
The acquirer is a Canadian peer company, Keyera, and the deal is to be effected in cash. The price is roughly 5.15 billion Canadian dollars ($3.79 billion). The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to the applicable regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
Plains added that, accounting for a potential one-time "special distribution" estimated at $0.35 per unit to both Plains common unit holders and Plains GP shareholders, it will reap total proceeds of around $3 billion from the divestment. The special distribution payment is subject to approval by Plains's board of directors.
Following the sale, Keyera will own Plains' Canadian NGL assets, but Plains will retain those in its native U.S. The latter company's crude oil assets in Canada are not part of the deal.
A win-win, says the seller
In its press release on the deal, Plains quoted CEO Willie Chiang as saying that it's "a win-win transaction for both Plains and Keyera. Plains is exiting the Canadian NGL business at an attractive valuation while Keyera is receiving highly complementary and critical infrastructure in a strategic market."
Judging by their collective reaction, Plains investors agree with this assessment. It will provide the company with gobs of capital while slimming its operational structure and allowing it to concentrate more on the crude oil segment.

CanAlaska Announces Results from Property-Wide Airborne Surveys on 16,000 Hectare Frontier Project
Multiple Priority Exploration Target Zones Identified, Stock Options Granted Saskatoon, Canada--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2025) - CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7) (" CanAlaska" or the " Company") is pleased to announce results from a series of property-wide airborne geophysical surveys completed on its 100%-owned Frontier Project (the "Project"). The results from high-resolution helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domian Electromagnetic (VTEM Plus), horizontal magnetic gradient, and radiometric surveys identified several exploration target zones on the Project. The purpose of the surveys was to identify and prioritize basement conductors, characterize lithological and alteration variations, refine areas of interest for ground prospecting, and map the structural setting of the project to support future drill targets. The Project is located in the northeastern Athabasca Basin approximately 30 kilometres northeast of the McClean Lake mill complex and Roughrider uranium deposit, and 35 kilometres north of Cameco's Eagle Point uranium mine (Figure 1). To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Frontier Airborne Survey Results The Frontier project is located five kilometres northeast of the present-day Athabasca Basin edge. Compilation work on the project has highlighted a prominent 25-kilometre-long northeast trending magnetic low corridor, termed here as the Roughrider Mineralized Corridor ("RMC"). This regional-scale corridor, which continues off property to the southwest, hosts multiple uranium deposits and showings, including Roughrider, Midwest, J Zone, Dawn Lake, Moonlight, Osprey, and the McClean Lake mine and mill complex. Figure 2 – Frontier Project Airborne Survey Target Areas To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The recently completed VTEM Plus survey consisted of 931 line-km's of helicopter-borne surveying at a 200 metre line spacing across the Project. This was followed by a high-resolution magnetics and radiometrics survey that consisted of 3,739 line-km's of helicopter-borne surveying at 50 metre line spacing across the Project. The surveys were conducted by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario and survey management and processing were conducted by Condor Consulting, Inc. Upon completion, the results of the airborne surveys were processed using 3D magnetic inversions and subsequently processed through a GeoInterp data analysis. GeoInterp is a form of data analysis to extract lithostratigraphic and structural elements from magnetic data. As a result of data processing and the GeoInterp analysis, a series of target zones were identified on the Frontier Project (Figure 2). The target zones are concentrated around large-scale north to northwest trending faults that are associated with shorter strike length faults and conductors. The highest priority target zones are those where magnetic low structural corridors are associated with cross-cutting fault features. The Point Lake Anomaly, a historical lake sediment sample collected in the early 1990's by the Geological Survey of Canada that returned 34.7 ppm uranium associated with elevated cobalt, copper, molybdenum, and nickel, is located along one of the main north-south trending features within the central target area. The airborne surveys completed on the Frontier Project represent a critical step in the Company's exploration strategy looking for tier 1 basement-hosted uranium deposits. The Company has deliberately generated a strategic land portfolio in the infrastructure-rich northeastern Athabasca Basin region along corridors that show geological and structural similarities to the Arrow and Eagle Point basement-hosted uranium deposits. The Company is actively seeking Joint Venture partners to move the Project to the next exploration stage. CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, "The Frontier project work has generated some very compelling basement-hosted uranium exploration targets along the prolific Roughrider Mineralized Corridor. The CanAlaska team will actively seek exploration partners to help move the Frontier project toward discovery. With the uranium market continuing to strengthen and the baseline market fundamentals stronger than ever, we believe the Frontier project should garner considerable interest from explorers looking for a large and drill-ready project in the infrastructure-rich northeastern Athabasca Basin." Other News The Company also announces that it has granted incentive stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,060,000 common shares of the Company pursuant to CanAlaska's omnibus equity incentive plan. These options are exercisable for a period of three years at a price of $0.88 per share. Pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange (" TSXV") policies, 50,000 of these options granted to an investor relations consultant (see below) will vest as to 25% on each of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months from their date of grant. All other options are fully vested. The Company also announces that it has extended the term of its investor relations letter agreement with Rayleigh Capital Ltd. (" Rayleigh Capital") from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025, subject to approval from the TSXV (refer to the Company's news release of July 28, 2023).
