Claude's Madsen Drilling Positive

SASKATOON, May 27 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc. is pleased to announce
the following results from the second phase of its ongoing diamond drill
program at the Madsen property in northwestern Ontario.
Since the issuance of the Company's March 12th 1999 release, assay
results have been returned from an additional thirteen drill holes targeting
ore shoots within the West McVeigh area of the Madsen mine. These holes,
drilled between the 2nd and 4th level, not only outlined the ore shoots within
the McVeigh zone but extended the ore zone an additional 30 metres along
strike to the west with a marked improvement in grade.
While three of the reported holes did not return significant assays they
do assist in delineating the ore shoots in the zone.
Significant intervals have been tabulated below and their pierce-points
are included on the attached composite longitudinal section:

In addition to the West McVeigh targets, surface exploration of a segment
of the structure to the northeast of the mine encountered strongly
disseminated sulphides coincident with the northeast extension of the McVeigh
zone. While preliminary results in this part of the McVeigh zone were not
significant, three holes which intersected the footwall of the parallel Austin
zone (2.45 million ounces mined) returned excellent grade. The area drilled
has been untested in the past and indicates that the Austin zone remains open
on strike.

These holes are listed below:

Drill programs on the West McVeigh and Austin footwall zones will
continue and remain important aspects of Claude's program to expand the Madsen
reserve base.
The Company is also preparing to dewater the Madsen shaft to below the
16th level to establish a drill base to target quartz-carbonate structures
similar to Madsen's No. 8 zone, a high-grade structure at the contact of the
mafic/ultramafics, which was mined briefly in the mid 1970's.
