"Extends 8 Zone Mineralization 450 Feet Down Plunge"
TSX - CRJ
NYSE Amex - CGR

SASKATOON, June 29 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc. (TSX-CRJ; NYSE Amex-CGR) today reported new drill results from its 8 Zone underground drill program at the Madsen Project, Red Lake, Ontario. Drilling continues to demonstrate down plunge continuity of the 8 Zone as well as confirming the high grade nature of the system, with all five holes completed to date having intercepted significant amounts of visible gold.

Claude launched Phase 1 of the underground program, from the 10th level in December 2008, targeting the 8 Zone system. The program is designed to test the plunge and strike extensions of the 8 Zone as well as conceptual targets along the 8 Zone shear system. The assays reported today confirm the high grade mineralization 450 feet down plunge of historic mine infrastructure. The system remains open down-plunge and along strike.

"Drilling to date has been slower than anticipated due to the necessity of wedging and directional drilling as well as challenging drilling conditions. That being said, we are extremely pleased with these results, they demonstrate the tenor of the system and potential of the Madsen Property as a whole," stated Brian Skanderbeg, Vice-President Exploration, Claude Resources Inc.

The Company added a surface drill rig with 6,000 foot depth capacity. The first priority of the surface program is to focus on testing the up-plunge and western strike extension of the 8 Zone.
