SASKATCHEWAN — Saskatoon-based Claude Resources is conducting an underground in-fill and exploration program at its Seabee gold mine 125 km northeast of La Ronge and getting high grades. Highlights of recent drilling include 13.53 g/t over 1.8 metres, 23.39 g/t over 1.0 metres, 14.07 g/t over 3.2 metres and 13.42 g/t over 2.4 metres (all true widths).

 

VP mining operations Philip Ng said in a statement, "These intercepts being reported today continue to better define our high-grade 2c ore shoot at Seabee Deep. The close proximity of the 2c zone is already having a positive impact to the head grade delivered to our central milling facility … as lateral development within and into this higher grade ore shoot continues at an accelerated pace. The company is also pleased with our initial exploration results in the 19v/2b structure to the east of existing development."

 

The underground Seabee mine began commercial production in 1991, and last year the mill treated ore from the Seabee mine, Santoy 7 mine and Porky exploration project to produce 45,566 oz of gold. This year Claude is awaiting environmental approval and permits to move the Santoy 8 mine towards commercial production. In addition, an underground bulk sampling program is active at the Porky West property.
