PROBE GOLD ANNOUNCES INFILL DRILLING RESULTS WITH GRADES UP TO 4.4 G/T AU OVER 20.0 METRES AT NOVADOR PROJECT, QUEBEC

Probe Gold Inc. has provided the latest results from the Novador infill drill program on its 100-per-cent-owned Novador property, located near Val d'Or, Que. The 50,000-metre winter infill drill program, initiated during the fall of 2024, will support the 2025 prefeasibility study. Results from 31 infill drill holes, totalling 9,083 metres, have returned significant gold intercepts from near surface to approximately 120 metres of vertical depth in the Bussiere deposit sector, and significant thick gold intercepts at Monique from deeper infill drilling (see the attached table of selected drill results).

Highlights:

  • Courvan trend (Bussiere deposit) infill drilling results intersected near-surface gold zones, with significant grades up to 14.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 4.0 metres (cut) (18.9 g/t Au over 4.0 metres uncut), including 66.3 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, and thick gold zones, including an intersection of 0.8 g/t Au over 33.3 metres.
  • Courvan trend (BM-17A zone) infill drilling results intersected near-surface gold zones grading 4.5 g/t Au over 7.7 metres, including 28.5 g/t Au over 1.0 metre.
  • Monique deposit (G2, A and B1 zones) infill drilling yielded up to 4.4 g/t Au over 7.0 metres, including 17.1 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, 10.7 g/t Au over 4.0 metres, including 32.9 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, and 2.8 g/t Au over 17.0 metres, including 34.6 g/t Au over 1.0 metres.
  • Monique deposit (M and I zones) infill drilling yielded up to 9.9 g/t Au over 4.1 metres, including 20.2 g/t Au over 1.6 metres, 4.4 g/t Au over 20.0 metres, including 23.8 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, and 4.7 g/t Au over 11.0 metres, including 15.2 g/t Au over 3.0 metres.

David Palmer, president and chief executive officer of Probe, states: "Novador's infill drilling program continues to confirm the continuity and grade of near-surface mineralization at the Bussiere deposit, as well as deeper gold zones at Monique. These results are successfully supporting the ongoing resource conversion for the upcoming prefeasibility study (PFS), which marks a crucial milestone in advancing the Novador project toward development. Probe's primary focus is to continue advancing Novador, positioning it as a leading development project capable of thriving in any gold price environment. We are making great progress in permitting, resource growth and mine plan optimization, and our confidence in the project's potential continues to strengthen as we see a clear path forward to development."

These latest infill drilling results will continue to enhance the company's 3-D models. Both zones remain open for significant expansion along strike and at depth.

Selected infill drill results from the Bussiere deposit and the Monique deposit drilling program are provided in the attached table.

Mineralization along the Courvan trend, including Bussiere mine sector, is characterized by a series of shallow-dipping east-west gold-bearing veins spatially associated with shear zones that intersect the Bourlamaque granodiorite batholith. The veins encountered containing gold are primarily composed of sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate-tourmaline and gold is typically associated with centimetre-scale pyrite masses within the veins. Gold mineralization intersected in the volcanics is associated with a shear zone and sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veins. The Bussiere deposit remains open laterally and at depth.

Mineralization intersected at Monique is mainly associated with deformation zones that cross the deposit at an orientation of 280 degrees to 300 degrees and a 75-to-80-degree dip to the north. The gold mineralization is defined by a network of quartz/carbonate/albite/plus-or-minus-tourmaline veins and veinlets, along with disseminated pyrite hosted in altered and sheared volcanic rocks and altered diorite dikes. Mineralized zones have been defined from surface to a depth of 700 metres and vary in width from several metres to up to 100 metres. Mineralized structures modelled extend laterally up to 2,500 metres. The Monique gold trend zones remain open along strike and at depth.

Quality control

During the last drilling program, assay samples were taken from the NQ core by sawing the drill core in half, with one-half sent to a certified commercial laboratory and the other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) program was applied to all samples, which includes insertion of mineralized standards and blank samples for each batch of 20 samples. The gold analyses were completed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish on 50 grams of materials. Repeats were carried out by fire assay followed by gravimetric testing on each sample containing 3.0 g/t gold or more. Total gold analyses (metallic sieve) were carried out on the samples which presented a great variation of their gold contents or the presence of visible gold.

About Probe's Novador project

Since 2016, Probe Gold has been consolidating its land position in the highly prospective Val d'Or east area in the province of Quebec with a district-scale land package of 835 square kilometres, representing one of the largest landholdings in the Val d'Or mining camp. The Novador project represents one property block of 202 square kilometres, hosting four past-producing mines (Beliveau mine, Bussiere mine, Monique mine and Beaufor mine) and containing 80 per cent of the company's gold resources in Val d'Or east. Novador is situated in a politically stable and low-cost mining environment that hosts numerous active producers and mills.

About Probe Gold Inc.

Probe Gold is a leading Canadian company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of highly prospective gold properties. The company is well financed and dedicated to exploring and developing high-quality gold projects. Notably, it owns 100 per cent of its flagship asset, the multimillion-ounce Novador gold project in Quebec, as well as an early-stage Detour gold Quebec project. Probe controls a large land package of approximately 1,835 square kilometres of exploration ground within some of the most prolific gold belts in Quebec. The company's recent Novador updated preliminary economic assessment outlines a robust mining plan with an average annual gold production of 255,000 ounces over a 12.6-year mine life.

Val d'Or properties include gold resources totalling 6,728,600 ounces in the measured and indicated category, and 3,277,100 ounces in the inferred category, along all trends and deposits.
