SASKATOON, Dec. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc. ("Claude"

Mr. Booth brings more than 30 years of exploration

Mr. Booth added, "On behalf of the Board, I
would like to thank Mike for his leadership and expertise during a time of significant change for the Company. He was a key contributor
to the Company's turnaround and during his short tenure achieved remarkable results including improved safety and environmental
results, the advancement of the Santoy Gap deposit and the strengthening of the Company's financial position. We wish Mike the
very best in his new endeavours."
