Trading Symbols: TSX: CRJ, OTCQB: CLGRF

SASKATOON, SK, June 25, 2014 /CNW/ - Claude Resources Inc.'s ("Claude" and or the "Company") board of directors ("Board") today announced the retirement of its Chair, Ted Nieman, Q.C., who guided the Company through one of the most challenging periods faced by the gold sector. During his tenure, the Company met several milestones which included reaching one million ounces of gold produced at the Seabee Gold Operation and the discovery and advancement of the Santoy Gap deposit.

The Company also announces the retirement of another long time director, Ray McKay, who brought understanding and insight into the Company's operation in northern Saskatchewan. Both retirements are effective June 30, 2014.

The Board and management wish to thank Mr. Nieman and Mr. McKay for their significant contributions and leadership over the past seven years.

Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Sylvestre, will become Chair of the Board. In addition, director Brian Booth was selected by the Board to act as the lead independent director. Mr. Booth has been a non-executive director of the Company since 2012 and has significant experience in the gold sector and currently serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembrook Mining Corp.

In addition, the Board has reduced both its number of directors as well as its committee structure. The Board will move forward with five directors and with two committees, Audit and Safety, Health and Environment. Board compensation is also under review. These measures are part of the Company's commitment to a cash optimization plan and will contribute to ongoing cost reductions.

Mike Sylvestre, Interim President and CEO commented, "Although we continue to face a challenging gold price environment, we are seeing a positive turnaround at Claude with very encouraging results from our operations. Over the last year, the Company has successfully executed on its cash flow optimization plan, made key improvements to production and safety and significantly reduced its debt. I look forward to the Company building shareholder value through ongoing financial discipline, meeting production targets and moving the Santoy Gap towards production."
