PRB Probe Gold Inc

Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF) (“Probe” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide the latest results from the 2024 Courvan Gold Trend drill program on its 100%-owned Novador property (the “Property”) located near Val-d’Or, Quebec. Results from thirty (30) drill holes, totaling 7,635 metres, have returned significant, near-surface, gold intercepts from surface to 150 metres vertical depth at the Bussiere and Southeast deposits (see figure 1 and table of selected drill results below). The 2024 summer-fall drill program at Courvan targeted both resource expansion and condemnation drilling. The condemnation drilling program, which was focussed east of the former Bussiere mine, revealed unexpected and significant gold-rich intercepts. In advance of follow-up drilling on the new discovery, the Company will re-evaluate the Courvan 3D model to refine its regional exploration model for the area.

David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, states, “The results from Courvan once again highlight the substantial exploration potential that remains within the Novador project. The recent discovery of thick, high-grade gold mineralization just 150 metres from our development areas suggests strong potential for further exploration breakthroughs as we advance our work on new targets around Novador. Our condemnation program, designed to evaluate areas for future development infrastructure, is also uncovering new mineralized zones, further underscoring Novador's capacity for remarkable growth. The Val-d’Or East area has proven to be one of Canada’s most fertile gold exploration belts, and we look forward to continued success. To accelerate our timeline toward production, we have initiated a 50,000-meter drill program aimed at completing resource conversion, which will set the stage for our Pre-Feasibility Study anticipated in early 2026. Additionally, we are expanding our team to ensure we fulfill our strategy of concurrently advancing permitting, the pre-feasibility study, resource growth and new discoveries, at Novador and the new satellite properties. We anticipate that 2025 will be a highly productive and successful year.”

These latest drilling results continue to improve our 3D model of Courvan. The mineralization is characterized by a series of shallow-dipping East-West gold-bearing veins situated next to shear zones that cut the Bourlamaque granodiorite batholith. The gold veins encountered are primarily composed of sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate-tourmaline, and gold is typically associated with centimeter-scale pyrite masses within the veins, as well as zones containing 1% to 5% finely disseminated pyrite in the host rocks. Gold mineralization intersected in the volcanics is associated with a shear zone and sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veins. The Bussiere and Southeast deposits remain open laterally and at depth.

Selected drill results from 2024 Courvan Bussiere and Southeast deposits drilling program are, as follows:

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.
