Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB:
PROBF) (“Probe” or the
“
Company”), is pleased to provide the latest
results from the Novador in-fill and condemnation drill program
initiated during the fall of 2024 on its 100%-owned Novador
property (the “
Property”) located near Val-d’Or,
Quebec. Results from fifty-three (53) infill drill holes, totaling
15,285 metres, have returned significant gold intercepts from
near-surface to approximately 150 metres vertical depth in the
Bussiere deposit sector and significant thick gold intercepts from
deeper infill drilling were obtained at Monique (see figure 1,
figure 2 and table of selected drill results below). Additionally,
results from sixteen (16) condemnation drill holes, totalling 2529
metres at Pascalis are presented (see figure 3 and table of
selected drill results below). One condemnation hole
returned gold mineralization, intersecting 1.5m of 16.2g/t Au in
Hole PCD-24-4.
David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe,
states, “ As expected, the first results from Novador’s infill
drilling program are confirming continuity and grade from
near-surface mineralization at the Bussiere deposit and deeper gold
zones at Monique, successfully demonstrating ongoing resource
conversion for the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study. The PFS
represents a critical milestone in advancing the Novador project
toward development. With a strong treasury heading into 2025,
Probe’s main focus is to continue advancing Novador, positioning it
as a premier development project capable of thriving in any gold
price environment. Based on the progress made to date in
permitting, resource growth and mine-plan improvement, resulting in
fewer, larger open pits, our confidence in the project’s potential
continues to grow and we see a clear path forward to
development.”
These latest drilling results will continue to
improve our 3D models at Courvan and Monique. 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, as
follows:

analytical results reported in this release and in this table, are
presented in core length and cut to 50 g/t Au when needed. True
width is estimated between 65 to 95 % of core length. Only grade
times thickness above 10.0 g/t Au * m is reported. |

Gold Trend new drilling results
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 cut 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° – 300° and a 75°- 80° dip to the north. The
gold mineralization is defined by a network of
quartz/carbonate/albite/±tourmaline veins and veinlets, along with
disseminated pyrite hosted in altered and sheared volcanic rocks
and altered diorite dykes. 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.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this
press release has been prepared, reviewed, and approved by Mr. Marc
Ducharme, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration, 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.
About Probe’s Novador
ProjectSince 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 that represents one of the largest land holdings in the
Val-d’Or mining camp. The Novador project represents one property
block of 202 square kilometres that hosts four past producing mines
(Beliveau Mine, Bussiere Mine, Monique Mine and Beaufor Mine) and
contains 80% 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 GoldProbe Gold Inc.
is a leading Canadian company focused on the acquisition,
exploration, and development of highly prospective gold properties.
The Company is well-funded and dedicated to exploring and
developing high-quality gold projects. Notably, it owns 100% 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
1835-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
totaling 6,728,600 ounces in the Measured and Indicated category
and 3,277,100 ounces in the Inferred category along all trends and
deposits.

condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be
identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”,
“estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since
forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address
future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve
inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are
based on information currently available to the Company, the
Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet
management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties, and other factors

differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Forward looking information in this
news release includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s
objectives, goals or future plans, statements, exploration results,
potential mineralization, the estimation of mineral resources,
exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement
of operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking information include, but are not limited to failure
to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral
resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility
study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary
nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or
failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other
project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty
to accommodate First Nations and other indigenous peoples,
uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing
needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes
in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the
development of projects, capital and operating costs varying
significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the
mineral exploration and development industry, an inability to
predict and counteract the effects of COVID-19 on the business of
the Company, including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19
on the price of commodities, capital market conditions, restriction
on labour and international travel and supply chains, and those

in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release
are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such
information, which only applies as of the date of this news
release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur
