PROBE GOLD AWARDED ECOLOGO CERTIFICATION FOR RESPONSIBLE MINERAL EXPLORATION

Probe Gold Inc. has received UL 2723 Ecologo certification for mineral exploration companies for following the best practices for responsible development in the mining exploration industry. Probe Gold began the accreditation process in February, 2022, and successfully completed it in August, 2023. This process involved developing and implementing internal policies and procedures, along with a comprehensive review of the documentation. The verification was conducted by UL Solutions, a globally recognized and respected scientific testing, inspection and certification company specializing in standards development and certification.

In 2012, the Quebec Mineral Exploration Association, known as the Association de l'exploration miniere du Quebec (AEMQ), developed the concept of establishing a certification process. This process aimed to assess and acknowledge responsible practices within mineral exploration firms and their service providers. To bring this vision to fruition, the AEMQ collaborated with the Universite du Quebec en Abitibi-Temiscamingue, which initially crafted the normative document. Subsequently, UL partnered with them to create the Ecologo certification program based on the university's groundwork. The program was officially launched in 2019.

David Palmer, president and chief executive officer of Probe, states: "We are very proud that our company, and our practices, have been recognized as being at a level to achieve UL Ecologo certification. This is further confirmation of our ongoing commitment to responsible practices, and our dedication to sustainable and responsible mining, which have always been at the core of our philosophy. This certification provides numerous advantages, including a better work environment, increased employee motivation, enhanced employer appeal, improved strategic planning and more effective risk management. Additionally, it helps us navigate legislative changes, foster positive stakeholder relationships, enhance project timelines and improve our stewardship of the environment. I extend my congratulations to the entire Probe team and I would like to express my thanks to the Quebec Mining Exploration Association (AEMQ), and the individuals involved, for their collaboration."
