St. Jude Intersects High Grade at Depth on G Zone
Including 7.17 g/t Over 14 meters

Vancouver, April 16, 2004 - St. Jude Resources Ltd. (SJD-TSX.V)
is pleased to announce drill results from the company’s 90% owned Benso gold project in Ghana, West Africa. The ongoing drill program continues to intercept exceptional grades, across excellent widths on anomalies G, I and N. These new discovery zones are all within the Subriso block of the Benso concession, and each will have a positive impact on the initial resource estimate which is to be completed next month. This resource estimate (N.I. 43-101 compliant) will also include zones previously described as Subriso Central (78.71 g/t over 12 meters), Subriso West (7.16 g/t over 36 meters), and Subriso East (14.49 g/t over 10 meters). ...

(And that old 78.71 g/t is not bad either.)
