SASKATOON, Feb. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc.

('Claude' and or the 'Company') today provided a summary of results from its 2011 drill program at Santoy Gap within the Company's 100 percent-owned, 14,400 hectare Seabee Gold Project. Newly released drill results have confirmed grade continuity and intercepted economic mineralization at depths in excess of 500 metres as well as in step-out holes along strike to the north and south. The system remains open in all directions and is located just 300 metres from the existing Santoy 8 resource. SRK Consulting Inc. will integrate current and historic drilling to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 compliant gold resource for the Santoy Gap deposit during the first quarter of 2012.

Highlights of 2011 drill results are summarized in Table 1 below:

Infill drilling within the central portion of the deposit confirmed grade and width continuity.  Specifically, JOY-11-588 returned 35.00 grams of gold per tonne over 9.78 metres, approximately 40 metres up-dip from JOY-11-556 that returned 19.10 grams of gold per tonne over 20.48 metres. Furthermore, step-out drilling to the north, JOY-11-608 and -614, and to the south, JOY-11-586, have extended the system to approximately 650 metres in strike length.  At depth, the deepest drilling to date, JOY-11-602, has intercepted strong structure with visible gold at approximately 600 metres below surface. The system remains open along strike to the north, south and at depth and may link with the existing Santoy 8 resource 300 metres to the south. A total of 82 holes and 32,500 metres were completed at Santoy Gap from June 1(st) to the end of 2011 (See Table 2 for significant intercepts from 2011 drilling; also see Claude news releases dated September 26(th) and November 15(th), 2011).

Driven by these positive results, the Company has approved a three to four rig, 70,000 metre surface drill program for 2012. Sixty thousand metres will be dedicated to the Santoy Gap (Figure 1), focusing on testing the northern strike extension towards the previously producing Santoy 7 mine, the southern strike extension towards the Santoy 8 mine and the depth continuity. The remaining meterage will be focused on early-stage regional targets.  In addition to the 70,000 metre surface program, 20,000 metres of underground drilling is planned to evaluate continuity within and down plunge of the existing Santoy 8 resources and reserves. In total at the Seabee Gold Project, inclusive of all underground and surface drilling, the Company has approved a 130,000 metre drill program, with a focus on resource expansion at Santoy Gap, Santoy 8, L62 and Seabee deep.

'Throughout 2011, Santoy Gap has continued to expand, demonstrating excellent continuity, grade and width.  With aggressive and focused drilling in 2011, both the L62 and Santoy Gap deposits will move from discovery to resource in less than a year,' stated Brian Skanderbeg, Vice President Exploration of Claude. 'This reinforces the potential for discovery in the Seabee Gold Project and bodes well for future mine expansion.'

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.

In addition to aggressive exploration efforts at the Seabee Project, Claude is continuing Phase II underground and surface drilling at the Madsen Property in Red Lake and has approved the advancement of the Amisk Gold Project through to a Preliminary Economic Assessment.

Drill core was halved with samples averaging 1.5 metres submitted to ALS Chemex in Vancouver, an ISO approved facility. Rigorous quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented including the use of blanks, standards and duplicates. Core samples were analyzed by a 30 gram gold fire assay with an atomic absorption, conventional gravimetric and/or screen fire techniques.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Press Release may contain 'forward-looking' statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Company, its directors, or its officers with respect to the future business activities and operating performance of the Company.  The words 'may', 'would', 'could', 'will', 'intend', 'plan', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'estimate', 'expect' and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, or its management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future business activities or performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that the Company's future business activities may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Such risks, uncertainties and factors are described in the periodic filings with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including the Company's Annual Information Form and quarterly and annual Management's Discussion & Analysis, which may be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.  Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not anticipated, estimated or intended.  The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.

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'.
