SASKATOON, Nov. 15, 2011 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc. ('Claude') today provided an update from its on-going drill program at Santoy Gap within the Company's 100 percent-owned, 14,400 hectare Seabee Project. Drilling has intercepted the widest mineralization to date and continues to significantly expand the strike length and depth of the mineralized system.  Results will be used in conjunction with historic drilling to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 compliant gold resource for the Santoy Gap deposit during the first quarter of 2012.

Latest drill results are summarized in Table 1 and Figure 1. Highlights of the drilling at Santoy Gap released today include:


-- 12.79 grams Au per tonne over 20.25 metres in JOY-11-555
-- 19.10 grams Au per tonne over 20.48 metres in JOY-11-556
-- 8.34 grams Au per tonne over 3.42 metres in JOY-11-562
-- 7.85 grams Au per tonne over 2.45 metres in JOY-11-563
-- 25.10 grams Au per tonne over 1.20 metres in JOY-11-564
-- 13.80 grams Au per tonne over 1.41 metres in JOY-11-579
-- 36.51 grams Au per tonne over 1.72 meters in JOY-11-580

These drill intercepts continue to demonstrate the potential to define a significant resource at Santoy Gap.  Holes JOY-11-555 and JOY-11-556 drilled in the central portion of the deposit outlined high grades over widths of greater than 20 metres. As well, step-out drilling both along strike to the northwest and at depth has intersected significant intervals of visible-gold bearing quartz veins.  The system remains open along strike to the northwest and southeast and at depth.

A total of 56 holes and 22,000 metres have been completed at Santoy Gap in 2011 with assay results for 28 holes in progress (Table 1; see also Claude News Releases dated March 21(st) and September 26(th), 2011). The Company's three rig surface drill program is currently testing extensions and continuity of the system and has expanded the gold-bearing structure to a strike length of over 540 metres and to depths in excess of 500 metres. The Santoy Gap deposit is located within 400 metres from underground infrastructure and is immediately on strike and adjacent to the Santoy 8 Mine.

'Since its discovery in the second quarter, Santoy Gap has demonstrated impressive grade, width and continuity. In particular, holes JOY-11-555 and 556 are the widest high grade intercepts returned to date on the Seabee Project,' stated Brian Skanderbeg, Vice President Exploration of Claude. 'The scale of the Santoy Gap system and proximity to infrastructure, combined with exciting drill results from the L62, bode well for expansion of the Seabee Project.'

Gold mineralization at Santoy Gap is hosted within a system of sheeted, shear-hosted quartz veins, silicified biotite-diopside schist and silicified granitic to dioritic dykes. Visible gold is typically observed along vein contacts, associated with trace to 5 percent, disseminated pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and rarely tellurides. Vein sets are interpreted to dip moderately, 45 to 60 degrees to the east, and are interpreted to be amenable to bulk underground mining techniques. The system shows very similar structural controls and geometry to the Santoy 8 deposit.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US INVESTORS CONCERNING RESOURCES ESTIMATES

The resource estimates in this document were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. The requirements of National Instrument 43-101 differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'). In this document, we use the terms 'measured,' 'indicated' and 'inferred' resources. Although these terms are recognized and required in Canada, the SEC does not recognize them. The SEC permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that constitute 'reserves'. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the time the determination is made. United States investors should not assume that all or any portion of a measured or indicated resource will ever be converted into 'reserves.' Further, 'inferred resources' have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically or legally, and United States investors should not assume that 'inferred resources'.
