Claim Post Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CPS) ("Claim Post" or the "Company")
announces that SGS Mineral Services of Lakefield, Ontario has successfully
produced 99.3% pure silica sand from the Seymourville sand deposit. This high
grade silica sand deposit is located 200 km north-east of Winnipeg, Manitoba
just off of paved Highway 304 on the east shore of Lake Winnipeg (the
"Seymourville Deposit"). 


The Seymourville Deposit is being evaluated for use as a natural sand proppant
(frac sand) for the oil and gas industry. As part of Claim Post's plan to
advance the Seymourville Frac Sand Project to production, 1000 kilograms of sand
was delivered to the SGS Lab in Lakefield, Ontario from secure storage in
Winnipeg. The sand from 20 sonic drill holes drilled at mainly 100m x 100m
centers was composited into a representative sample for bench scale
metallurgical testwork.


The current SGS metallurgical program was designed to obtain the following
technical data:




1.  The average bulk density of the clay-silica mixture for NI 43-101 Report
    tonnage calculations was calculated to be 1.73. P&E Mining Consultants
    Inc. has estimated the Seymourville Project Inferred Resource at 15
    million cubic meters or 25 million tonnes at a bulk density of 1.73 over
    approximately 20% of the project area. (April 29th, 2014 Press Release
    filed on SEDAR.)

2.  The SGS testwork was structured to give technical information to confirm
    the preliminary design of the frac sand processing plant. This testwork
    includes scrubbing times to remove clay, microscope evaluation of how
    clean the sand is for various size ranges, magnetic separation, detailed
    assaying etc. The screen analysis of the bulk sample gives an estimation
    of the tonnage split of sand into each of the frac sand size ranges.



The SGS testwork has shown that we can design a processing circuit that can
consistently make a plus 99% pure silica sand that can be screened into standard
frac sand size ranges. Claim Post expected that most of the finer material to be
mainly clays which would be a challenge to dewater for dry disposal back into
the mined out pits. There is 5% or less clay in the composite sample. The
remaining 10% is fine to ultrafine silica sand that may be wet processed into
saleable products without the capital, operating or environmental costs
associated with fine or ultrafine grinding.


The table below shows that 83% of the sand/clay feed to the processing plant can
be processed into frac sand size ranges. Fine grained silica products sell for
at least as much as frac sand thus additional SGS testwork will be done to
evaluate these products.

3.  Once the initial SGS testwork and the flow sheet is finalized in the
    coming weeks a number of 1kg samples for each frac sand size range will
    be made; 20/40, 30/50, 40/70 and 70/140 mesh etc. which will be sent to
    the PropTester laboratory in Texas for API ISO testwork. The remainder
    of the sand will be scrubbed and screened at SGS ultimately becoming 1kg
    samples for marketing frac sand to the oil and gas companies.



The President of Claim Post, Charles Gryba, stated: "We are concentrating on
moving the project forward to production and de-risking the project in cost
effective steps. The current SGS testwork indicates we can produce sand grading
99.3% SiO2 or better which is the basis of a premium Tier 1 Frac Sand. Initial
API testwork by PropTester for Gossan Resources Inc. meet all API Specifications
but we will independently confirm the API results using the SGS cleaned sand."


The market for natural frac sand continues to grow at a high rate in North
America (approximately 35% per annum) with production reaching about 42,000,000
tons in the US in 2013 and an additional Canadian domestic production of about
2,500,000 tonnes. Claim Post's Seymourville Frac Sand Deposit is approximately
1,000 km closer to the Canadian market than Wisconsin sand deposits; this
indicates the potential for significant transportation savings in addition to
the Canadian dollar differential. 


Claim Post is evaluating a transload facility at the Centre Port site in
Winnipeg which will provide unit train loading with access to CN, CPR and the
BNSF railroads. In addition Claim Post will provide bulk truck or container
service to the oil industry in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the U.S. side of the
Williston Basin. Containers delivered to the well site are very economic within
a 600 km range from the Winnipeg transload facility.
