Claude Resources Inc. is pleased to report the results of the 2005 winter exploration drill program on the Company’s wholly owned Santoy Lake property, located 11.5 kilometres (km) east of Claude’s Seabee mine in northern Saskatchewan. The 2005 winter drill program was a follow up to the successful 2004 program. Drilling tested a 4 km long, northwest trending and northeast dipping set of gold enriched silicified structures cutting through a sequence of volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Significant mineralization was found in a wide shear zone. Hole J155 averaged 5.67 grams per tonne (g/t) over 23.2 metres (3.50 g/t with a cut factor of 30 g/t) and hole J129 encountered a zone grading 6.91 g/t (3.86 g/t cut) over 16.3 metres. Significant intersections are included in Table 1. Table 2 is a list of drill hole coordinates and Table 3 is a list of samples grading better than 1 g/t.
