2014 Third Quarter Conference Call N ovem ber 3, 2014 Cautionary Statement Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information This document contains certain forward-looking statements relating but not limited to the Company’s expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs. Forward-looking information can often be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “goal”, “plan”, “intent”, “estimate”, “may” and “will” or similar words suggesting future outcomes or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance. Forward-looking information may include reserve and resource estimates, estimates of future production, unit costs, costs of capital projects and timing of commencement of operations, and is based on current expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to, failure to establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery of mined ore varying from estimates, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and other factors. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Potential shareholders and prospective investors should be aware that these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and various future events will not occur. Claude Resources undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or other such factors which affect this information, except as required by law. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Resource Estimate The resource estimates in this document were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. The requirements of National Instrument 43-101 differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this document, we use the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” resources. Although these terms are recognized and required in Canada, the SEC does not recognize them. The SEC permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that constitute “reserves”. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the time the determination is made. United States investors should not assume that all or any portion of a measured or indicated resource will ever be converted into “reserves”. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically or legally, and United States investors should not assume that “inferred resources” exist or can be legally or economically mined, or that they will ever be upgraded to a higher category. 2 Executive Mike Sylvestre, P.Eng., ICD.D Chair, Interim President & CEO Rick Johnson, CA Vice President of Finance & CFO Brian Skanderbeg, P.Geo Senior Vice President & COO 3 Highlights ü Record quarterly gold production of 20,614 à 96% increase vs. Q3 2013 ü Total cash cost per ounce of gold (1) of $735 à 20% decrease vs. Q3 2013 ü Net profit of $6.9 million, or $0.04 per share ü Debt reduction totaling $9.7 million during the first nine months of 2014 ü Santoy Gap year to date production of over 28,000 tonnes at approx. 8.60 grams per tonne ü Increased full year 2014 gold production guidance to 61,000 – 64,000 ounces (1) See description and reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures in the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Reconciliations” section of the Company’s 2014 Q3 MD&A. 4 Financial Results Financial Results (all $ amounts in $CDN) Q3 2014 Q3 2013 YTD 2014 YTD 2013 Revenue (in 000’s) $24,323 $14,976 $64,665 $46,324 Production costs (in 000’s) $12,021 $9,909 $35,243 $31,581 Net profit (loss) (in 000’s) $6,852 ($33,871) $5,068 ($46,323) $0.04 ($0.19) $0.03 ($0.26) $10,368 $4,272 $22,015 $9,308 $0.06 $0.02 $0.12 $0.05 $1,384 $1,389 $1,402 $1,465 $735 $919 $801 $999 $1,063 $1,574 $1,265 $1,957 Earnings (loss) per share (basic and diluted) Cash flow from operations before net changes in non-cash working capital (in 000’s) Cash flow from operations before net changes in non-cash working capital (1) per share Average realized price per ounce Total cash costs per ounce (1) All in sustaining cost per ounce (1) (1) See description and reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures in the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Reconciliations” section of the Company’s 2014 Q3 MD&A. 5 Stronger Balance Sheet A focus on decreasing unit costs and improved operating execution has resulted in our ability to reduce debt and strengthen the Balance Sheet All amounts in $CDN Sept. 30 2014 Dec. 30 2013 Cash and cash equivalents (in millions) $10.6 ($8.6) Total debt (in millions) $23.5 $33.2 Net debt (in millions) $12.9 $41.8 Working capital (in millions) $27.8 ($11.9) 3.21 0.77 Current ratio 6 Q3 Operating Results Q3 production was the highest in the Company’s history!
