SASKATOON, Aug. 19 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc. (TSX-CRJ; NYSE Amex-CGR) is pleased to report highlights from its ongoing 2009 underground in-fill and exploration program and its production progress from the Company's Seabee Project.

Exploration

Drilling at the Seabee Mine continues to discover high grade gold mineralization. Highlights from the July drill program include:

-  11.18 grams per tonne of gold over 3.6 meters true width
   (hole U09-650).
-  7.60 grams per tonne of gold over 4.5 meters true width
   (hole U09-652).
-  15.23 grams per tonne of gold over 3.9 meters true width
   (hole U09-654).
-  19.36 grams per tonne of gold over 3.3 meters true width
   (hole U09-655).

"Being adjacent to existing development, these discoveries will contribute to our success in increasing our production at Seabee", stated Vice President, Mining Operations, Philip Ng, P.Eng. "There are two significant factors with these intercepts. Firstly, these intercepts continue to grade above the historical average and secondly, we are finding these ore shoots in close proximity to existing development and infrastructure, thus providing us with the ability to incorporate these shoots into our mine plan over the short and medium term."
