Speaking today in Saskatoon, Philip Ng, Vice President, Operations stated, "These outstanding results from the core of the Seabee Project represent a near term opportunity to enhance production grades from the Seabee Mine during 2010. The enhanced definition the diamond drill program implemented during 2009 should continue to improve the economics of the Seabee Mine on a go forward basis."

In 2010, Claude will be producing from the Seabee Mine and expects to move Santoy 8 towards commercial production later this year. For the full year 2010, over 40,000 metres of surface and underground diamond drilling is planned at the Seabee Mine and its satellite deposits.

Samples were assayed by Claude Resources Inc.'s non-accredited assay lab at the Seabee mine site. Duplicate check assays were conducted at site as well as at TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon. Results of the spot checks were consistent with those reported. Sampling interval was established by minimum or maximum sampling lengths and geological and/or structural criteria. Minimum sampling length was 0.3 metres while the maximum was 1.0 metre. 200 gram samples were pulverized until greater than 80% passes through 200 mesh screen. 30 gram pulp samples were then analyzed for gold by fire assay with gravimetric finish (0.01 grams per tonne detection limit). A top cut of 50 grams per tonne was used to determine cut grades.
