Claude Resources Inc. Prepares to Resume Mining Operations at
the Seabee Gold Operation
Trading Symbols: TSX: CRJ; OTCQB: CLGRF
SASKATOON, SK, July 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Claude Resources
Inc. ("Claude" and or the "Company") reported that, as a result of a reduced risk along with favourable
and improving weather conditions, it has commenced preparations to resume all operating activities at the Seabee Gold Operation
in northern Saskatchewan. The temporary suspension of underground mining operations and removal of non-essential personnel was
a precautionary decision to ensure the safety of its personnel from the threat of heavy smoke and ash from a local forest fire.
The Company will continue to closely monitor the forest fire situation to ensure the safety and health of its employees.
The Company's timeline to resume full underground production
is expected to be early next week. Personnel are scheduled to return to site starting tomorrow, July 17, 2015, and continuing through
to July 20, 2015. During the temporary suspension, the mill processed approximately 850 tonnes per day from the surface stockpile.
The current stockpile is approximately 8,500 tonnes and it will continue to be processed until underground mining operations resume.
At this time, the Company expects to meet its production guidance for the year.
Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO commented, "We are
pleased that we are now able to safely resume mining operations at the Seabee Gold Operation. We would like to thank all those
who have supported and helped in our efforts to manage the forest fire. Also, I would like to specifically thank our dedicated
staff who remained on site and worked tirelessly to implement protective measures to ensure the safety of our employees and facilities."

and mining company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, whose shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: CRJ) and the OTCQB

statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of gold, the estimation of mineral reserves
and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production,
capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines,
currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental
risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects"
or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts",

thereof or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results, "may", "could",
"would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative
connotation thereof.
All forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions,
including, without limitation, the expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long-term price of gold, that the Company
will receive required permits and access to surface rights, that the Company can access financing, appropriate equipment and sufficient
labour, and that the political environment within Canada will continue to support the development of mining projects in Canada.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Claude

actual results of current exploration activities; environmental risks; future prices of gold; possible variations in ore reserves,
grade or recovery rates; mine development and operating risks; accidents, labour issues and other risks of the mining industry;
delays in obtaining government approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; and other
risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those discussed in the section entitled "Business Risk" in the
Company's Annual Information Form. These risks and uncertainties are not, and should not be construed as being, exhaustive.
Although Claude has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors
that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove
to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements in this news release are made as
of the date of this news release and accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as otherwise indicated by
Claude, these statements do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other special items that may occur after the
date hereof. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current
expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of our operating environment.
