PRB Probe Gold Inc

PROBE GOLD INC. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF) (“Probe” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 50,000-metre infill drill program on its Novador development program, focused on resource conversion in preparation for the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”). To date, 10,115 metres of the current infill drilling program have been completed at Monique and at Courvan, with results pending. Currently, four drills are operational at the site, with plans to increase to eight drills for the winter drilling season.

The infill drilling program aims to upgrade 100% of the inferred category resource included in the Preliminary Economic assessment (“PEA”) mine plan to indicated category. 72% of the resource in the PEA is already in the indicated category. The infill drilling will include an estimated 150 drillholes for a total estimated 50,000 metres at the Novador project. In preparation for the PFS, Probe is also conducting comprehensive engineering, environmental, and social studies. The Company is aiming to complete the PFS by the end of 2025.

David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, states: “The primary objective of the infill drill program is to convert the inferred resources in our PEA into the indicated category required for the PFS, scheduled for completion in late 2025. 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 project capable of thriving in any gold price environment. Based on the progress made to date in permitting, resource growth to over 10 million ounces and mine-plan improvement, including a smaller number of larger open pits, our confidence in the project’s potential continues to grow and we have a clear path forward to development.”
