Claude Resources Inc. Intercepts 169.38 g/t Over 1.2 m True Width at Seabee Deep
Claude Resources Inc. Intercepts 169.38 Grams of Gold per Tonne Over 1.2 Metres True Width at Seabee Deep
Discovers New Zone “L62” at Seabee Gold Operation
Claude Resources Inc. (TSX-CRJ; NYSE Amex-CGR) (“Claude” or the “Company”) today reports highlights of its 2011 underground exploration program thru June 30. Results at the Company’s 100 percent owned and operated Seabee Gold Operations include:
· 11.47 grams of gold per tonne (cut) over 3.7 metres true width (U11-617) at Seabee Deep
· 35.79 grams of gold per tonne (cut) over 1.2 metres true width (U10-683) at Seabee Deep
· 17.26 grams of gold per tonne (cut) over 2.3 metres true width (U10-682) at Seabee Deep
· 6.18 grams of gold per tonne (cut) over 15.1 metres true width (SUG-11-006) at Santoy 8
· 14.04 grams of gold per tonne (cut) over 2.7 metres true width (SUG-10-040) at Santoy 8 and
· 6.13 grams of gold per tonne (cut) over 4.8 metres true width (U11-345) at L62
Speaking today in Saskatoon, Philip Ng, Senior Vice President, Mining Operations stated that “Underground exploration at Santoy 8 continues to prove up additional mineral resources. As a result, we are looking to increase tonnage output from Santoy 8 in 2012. Seabee Deep continues to demonstrate down plunge extensions with high grade shoots at depth in both the 2b and 2c ore bodies. The new L62 zone looks very promising with two holes (U11-345 and U11-347) reporting economic grades and widths. Based on these encouraging results, we have moved a second diamond drill rig to accelerate exploration of this new zone.”
The newly discovered L62 zone is located approximately 200 metres from existing Seabee underground infrastructure in the hanging wall of the Seabee ore body and at 1,000 metres below surface.

Claude Resources Inc. is a public company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, whose shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX-CRJ) and the NYSE Amex (NYSE Amex-CGR). Claude is a gold exploration and mining company with an asset base located entirely in Canada. Since 1991, Claude has produced approximately 938,000 ounces of gold from its Seabee mining operation in northeastern Saskatchewan. The Company also owns 100 percent of the 10,000 acre Madsen property in the prolific Red Lake gold camp of northwestern Ontario and has a 65 percent working interest in the Amisk Gold Project in northeastern Saskatchewan.
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 percent passes through 150 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 usedto determine cut grades.

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 US 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”.

This is from over at the stockhouse bulletin board. Anyone know what company this is?
What’s unique about Seabridge is that they don’t produce gold. And they don’t mine gold. Instead, they “hoard” it. In fact, they are one of only two “gold hoarders” in the world.
What does a “gold hoarder” do exactly?
Well, Seabridge simply buys great gold supplies when prices are extraordinarily cheap. Then they cash in on these properties as gold becomes more expensive.
That’s why this is a great gold stock to own. You have none of the expenses or risks of mining or production. Yet you get huge gains as the price of gold goes up.
It’s no surprise that Seabridge is up 363% since July 2005, when I first recommended it.
When I found Seabridge, the company had 12.7 million ounces of gold in the ground. The shares were trading for the equivalent of $8.60 per ounce. It was a rare find. But, luckily for us... it’s now time to buy the other gold hoarder.
Remember, there are only two gold companies in the world who do business this way. We’ve seen 363% in gains on the first one... and now I think we’re about to see big gains on the second one too.
I strongly believe this company is the “Next Seabridge.” And it is one of my favorite investments in the world right now.
Just like Seabridge, this company has unbelievable amounts of gold in the ground--10 million ounces of “measured and indicated” gold reserves.
In short, if you buy this stock now, you’re getting gold in the ground for about $10 an ounce. With gold prices now up considerably, this company is “The Next Seabridge.” It is cheapest gold stock in America of any reasonable size. And today it is a “screaming buy.”
One of this company’s properties is in a famous gold region of Nevada. The company bought it for less than $3 million dollars. Yet this property has over a million ounces of gold in the ground -- worth about $630 million.
The previous owner spent $40 million getting permits, building mills, roads, power lines... in other words, everything you need to make money.
Unfortunately, the previous owner did all of this work in the 1990s, when gold wasn’t worth much. As a result, they closed the mine in 1998 when gold prices bottomed. They simply couldn’t make a profit.
This is the kind of opportunity gold “hoarders” look for.
Besides this property, the company has ten others, one of which is in Mexico. The company bought this property for just $1 per ounce of gold near the bottom of the gold market in 2002! As you probably know, gold is up about 130% since then.
And even though “The Next Seabridge” owns $8.3 billion worth of gold, it is a very small company—worth only about $100 million on the stock market.

The West Porky discovery comprises two principal styles of mineralization; shear-related sulfide-replacement in calc-silicate altered, mafic volcanic rocks and free gold associated with silicification of a feldspathic arenite. As shown on the accompanying plan map and longitudinal sections, both styles appear as planar surfaces that substantially parallel the SSE-trending, steeply dipping metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary contact. Both mineralized structures appear to plunge moderately to the southeast and either pinch-out or are truncated by a felsite dike along their eastern margin. Drilling confirmed continuity over 400 metres of strike length, routinely to a depth of 250 metres on approximately 50-metre centres.
The dominant sulfide phases in the replacement style of mineralization are pyrite and pyrrhotite. Arsenopyrite is a constituent of both the calc-silicate and arenite-hosted mineralization. However, metallic assays indicate that the gold contents in both rock types are typically in the coarser fraction and only weakly correlative with arsenopyrite.
The new discovery to the west-northwest is hosted by the feldspathic arenite. Drilling to date has returned several very encouraging intervals. Although constrained near surface by shallow drilling, the depth potential of this zone and its relationship to the West Porky system are recognized as substantive, high priority drill targets. Induced polarization and ground magnetometer surveys have been conducted to facilitate zonal modeling.
Both the West Porky and West zones outcrop on the Currie Rose property in which Claude Resources has a 100% working interest, subject to a 30% Net Profits Interest in favour of Currie Rose Resources.
The core from the Porky Lake project was logged and split at the Company's logging facility at the Seabee mine. Initial assaying was done by the mine's assay laboratory. The pulps and rejects from all samples that assayed over one gram per tonne were shipped out and reassayed by TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon. Total metallic assays were routinely performed on samples that exceeded five grams per tonne by conventional assaying methods. The qualified person on the project is Philip E. Olson, P. Geo. (Sask).
Additional plan view and long sections of the drill hole locations has been posted as the most recent news release on the Claude Resources' web-site at www.clauderesources.com.
