The Madsen (RED LAKE) property is within walking distance of where GoldCorp (G.A) just drilled a nugget. Read in pounds per tonne. Madsen mine has produced nearly 3 million ounces. Do you think that there might be more there? I think that there might be a lot more and that Claude will find it. They are pouring Gold now. Dig a little deeper! That's what GoldCorp did. Are they smiling? Leader Mining has recently discovered More Gold near the SeaBee property in Saskatchewan. I think the prospects are good. That's why I bought. But unfortunately for me and fortunately for you I can only buy so much. And I have personally benefited from the pointers of thousands of folks on the SI so I thought that I might as well return the favour. And yes I expect that my stocks will go up. Thats why I bought them. Anyway you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him think or drink.
Corporate Profile
Claude Resources Inc. is a mature and successful gold mining and oil and gas company trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Company has a strong balance sheet, experienced management and an attractive mix of long-term revenue generating assets. These critical strengths provide a solid base for future corporate expansion.
Claude's principal asset has been the Seabee gold mine located 125 kilometres northeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. This 100% owned and operated mine is in its seventh year of production and has produced over 300,000 ounces of gold.
On April 6, 1998, Claude acquired Madsen Gold Corp. located in the prolific Red lake gold camp in northwestern Ontario. This 10,000 acre (4,000 hectares) property produced 2.8 million ounces before being closed in 1976. The Company expects to place the mine into commercial production in the second half of 1998 with annualized production of 50-60,000 ounces.
The combined production from the two mines of 100-120,000 ounces annually will establish Claude as a solid "intermediate" gold producer. Both mines are narrow vein, high grade underground operations with mining operations performed by Claude's subsidiary, Centaur Mining Contractors Corporation. Each of the mines has approximately 1 million tonnes of proven, probable and possible reserves with significant upside potential. The Seabee mine is currently one of the lowest cost producers in North America and the two mines, combined should have cash costs in the U.S. $220/oz range.
Claude's 100% owned Currie Rose property, (subject to a 30% net profits interest), surrounds the producing Seabee property. This 11,000 acre (4,500 hectare) land position is the Company's most advanced exploration property. During the past 3 years, extensive prospecting and drilling programs provide assurance that existing structures currently being mined at Seabee extend onto the Currie Rose property. Access drifts and stoping, combined with surface and underground drilling programs during 1998, are expected to provide feedstock for the Seabee mine commencing in 1999.
Claude's Amisk/Laural Lake gold project, optioned from Cameco Corp. and Husky Oil, is located 25 kilometres west of Flin Flon, Manitoba. This advanced exploration project is a 46,400 acre (18,800 hectare) land position hosting numerous targets. Additional drilling with a possible underground bulk sample is planned during 1998.
In addition to the Company's mineral properties, Claude owns interests in several large oil and natural gas properties, most of which are located in the province of Alberta. The 1,000 barrels of oil and gas equivalent being produced per day from these properties currently results in some $8 million a year in revenues and $1.8 million cash
