Mine Life12.5 years (as of Jan 1, 2021)
The Novador Project (formerly Val-d’Or East) project is a district-scale land package comprising 436 square kilometers and represents one of the largest land holdings in the Val-d’Or mining camp. The property is host to three past producing mines (Beliveau Mine, Monique Mine and Bussiere Mine) and falls along four regional mine trends, including 14 kilometres of strike length along the prolific Cadillac Break.

The property consists of three distinct claim blocks. The Pascalis-Courvan-Senore claim block is 100% owned by Probe Metals. The Monique claim block is contiguous to the Pascalis-Courvan-Senore block. The Lapaska claim block, which is non contiguous with the PascalisCourvan-Senore block, is 100% owned by Probe Metals.

Summary:

The Val-d'Or mining camp is well known for its lode gold deposits and copper, zinc, silver, and gold volcanogenic (VMS) deposits. Gold mineralization from the Val-d'Or mining camp has been classified as greenstone-hosted quartz-carbonate vein deposits or mesothermal or late-orogenic lode gold deposits associated with shear zones or extensional fractures.

Most of the gold resources on the Val-d’Or East Project have been delineated in three areas: Pascalis gold trend deposits, Courvan gold trend deposits, and Monique gold trend deposits. These generally consist of a complex system of veins composed of quartz, carbonate, and tourmaline with disseminated and/or blebby pyrite. The auriferous zones are commonly associated with shear zones and extensional fractures. Mineralization is concentrated in veins and/or in adjacent lithologies that are strongly altered due to hydrothermal fluid circulation.

Pascalis Gold Trend
The Pascalis gold trend hosts the New Beliveau, North Zone and Highway deposits. The New Beliveau and North Zone deposits are centered on a series of north-northwest trending sub-vertical intermediate dykes, forming a swarm identified over 3 km long, 1 km wide and 1 km deep.

The New Beliveau deposit, which encompasses the past producer L.C. Beliveau mine, is hosted within a sub-vertical microdiorite dyke oriented at N345° and perpendicular to the trend of volcanic formations. It is located about 2 km east of the Bourlamaque bathol ........

Summary:

The scoping-level mine planning work that has been completed to date demonstrates viable economics for the extraction of ~45 million tonnes of mill feed at an average mill feed gold grade of 1.88 g/t. The economic open pit mining shells for the Monique, Pascalis and Courvan gold trends capture a good portion of the resource, and underground mining methods capture additional economic material below the open pit mining limits.

Open Pit
Specific to a PEA-level assessment, the overall angle is considered the same as the inter-ramp angle, as highwall ramps and geotechnical berms (for the consideration of interramp angle) are added in future. Pit slope angles are described for each deposit.

Creek Deposit – The open pit slopes planned for the Creek deposit can support slopes of up to 53° in wall orientations facing 310-350°, and slopes of up to 59° for all other wall orientations.

Bussiere Deposit – Open pits for the Bussiere deposit can support slopes of up to 53° in wall orientations facing 310-350°, and slopes of up to 59° for all other wall orientations.

Southwest Deposit – Open pits of the Southwest deposit can support slopes of up to 59° for all wall orientations.

Southeast Deposit – Open pits of the Southeast deposit can support slopes of up to 53° for wall orientations facing 110- 150°, up to 49° for wall orientations facing 150-190°, and 59° for all other wall orientations.

Reserves at June 1, 2021:
The pit-constrained updated Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.42g/t Au for the Monique deposit and 0.40g/t for the other deposits.
The underground mineral resources were based on two main mining methods, resulting in cut-off grades of 1.65 and 2.05 g/t Au.
