Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB:
PROBF) (“Probe” or the
“
Company”), is pleased to provide the first set of
results from the 2023 Monique deposit drill program on its
100%-owned Novador property (the “
Property”)
located near Val-d’Or, Quebec. Results from thirty-seven (37) drill
holes, totaling 10,772 meters, have returned significant gold
intercepts from surface to 425 meters vertical depth at the Monique
gold zones (see figure 1 and table of selected drill results
below). The 2023 winter drill program at Monique was focused on
increasing the resource inside and just under the conceptual pit
shell. New results continue to show growth at Monique deposit and
strong expansion potential in all directions.
David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, states
“Earlier this year, Monique exceeded our expectations by adding
over a million ounces of gold to our inventory, growing to a total
of 2.4 million ounces. With these results from the 2023 Monique
expansion program the potential for ongoing growth from this
deposit are once again being highlighted and suggest further upside
to future mining operations. An updated PEA is currently
in-progress for the Novador project, which will offer a more
comprehensive representation of the project’s expansion and
progress towards a larger production scale. We are also planning to
increase our drilling capacity in order to realize the growth
potential of Monique and advance the Novador project even more
quickly. Work has also begun on our recently acquired Croinor
project to begin evaluating potential resource growth on this
property, as well. Detour is progressing quickly after delays due
to wildfires, with over 2,500 drilled so far on our La Peltrie
option and 100%-owned properties. It has already been an extremely
productive year for our projects, and we look forward to continuing
this pace in the second half of 2023.”
All thirty-seven (37) holes drilled to identify
or confirm in-pit mineralization returned gold intercepts over 0.42
g/t Au, which is above the cut-off grade used in the 2023
pit-constrained resource estimate. Twenty-five (25) holes returned
gold intercepts with grade times thickness above 10.0 g/t Au. Gold
mineralization intersected is mainly associated with deformation
zones that cross the deposit with an orientation of 280° - 300° and
a 75°- 80° dip to the north. Gold mineralization is defined by a
network of quartz/carbonate/albite/±tourmaline veins and veinlets
with disseminated pyrite in the altered wall rocks.
Selected drill results from the 2023 Monique
deposit drilling program are, as follows:

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 600
square kilometers that represents one of the largest land holdings
in the Val-d’Or mining camp. The Novador project is a sub-set of
properties totaling 175 square kilometers hosting three past
producing mines (Beliveau Mine, Bussière Mine and Monique Mine) and
falls along three regional mine trends. Novador is situated
in a politically stable and low-cost mining environment that hosts
numerous active producers and mills.
Val-d’Or properties include gold resources
totaling 3,793,900 ounces in the Measured and Indicated category
and 1,418,700 ounces in the Inferred category along all trends and
deposits.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this
press release has been prepared, reviewed, and approved by Mr.
Marco Gagnon, P.Geo, Executive Vice President, who is a "Qualified
Person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
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 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-assayed 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.
