SASKATOON, Jan. 13 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc. ("Claude" or the
"Company") today reported that the Company produced approximately
13,200 ounces of gold in the fourth quarter and 26,100 ounces of gold
in the second half of 2010. The increase in production represents a 24
percent improvement from the first half of 2010. Total 2010 production
was approximately 47,300 ounces of gold.

Speaking today at the Seabee Mine, Vice President of Mining Operations
Philip Ng stated, "We had another year with improved operating results
in safety, environment, production and margins due to the efforts of
our employees and improved gold prices. Obtaining the necessary
approvals and permits for the Santoy 8 Project in 2010, Claude has set
the foundation for significant production growth at the Seabee Gold
Operation through 2013. To further improve operating efficiency, shaft
deepening at the Seabee Mine commenced in the second half of 2010 and
is expected to be completed in the first half of 2012. This will extend
the economic life of the Seabee Gold Mine as well as materially lower
unit operating costs."

In 2011, Claude plans to mine from its Seabee Gold Mine and the new
Santoy 8 Gold Mine. A commercial production decision on Santoy 8 is
expected to be made in the first quarter of 2011. Production from
Santoy 8 is expected to increase from 200 tonnes per day during the
first quarter of 2011 and exit the year at 400 tonnes per day.

Ongoing exploration programs at the Seabee Operation are being planned
to target Seabee Deep, Santoy 8 at depth and new regional targets in
proximity to current infrastructure.
