Probe Gold Intersects Grades Up to 11.7 g/t Au Over 4.0 Metres in Infill Drilling at Novador Project, Quebec
Highlights: Courvan Trend infill drilling results intersected near-surface gold zones with significant grades up to 8.7 g/t Au over 6 metres (cut) including 50 g/t Au over 1.0 metres and an intersection of 7.2 g/t Au over 6 metres. The recently completed 50,000-metre winter infill drilling program was designed to support the upcoming 2025 Pre-Feasibility Study, which is expected by year-end. TORONTO, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF) ('Probe' or the 'Company'), is pleased to provide the latest results from the Novador in-fill drill program on its 100%-owned Novador property (the 'Property') located near Val-d'Or, Quebec. The 50,000-metre winter infill drill program, initiated during the fall of 2024, was designed to support the 2025 pre-feasibility study. Results from thirty-six (36) infill drill holes, totaling 8,202 metres, have returned significant gold intercepts from near-surface to approximately 200 metres vertical depth in the Bussiere and Creek deposit areas. (see figure 1 and table of selected drill results below). David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, states, 'The infill drilling program at Novador continues to deliver strong results, confirming mineral continuity and underscoring meaningful expansion potential along strike and at depth at Courvan. These winter drill results will play a critical role in supporting resource conversion and will be incorporated into the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study, an important step forward in advancing Novador toward development. We're making steady progress across key areas, including permitting, resource growth, and mine plan optimization. Backed by a strong treasury, we remain fully committed to positioning Novador as a top-tier gold development project.' These latest in-fill drilling results will continue to enhance our 3D models with the addition of new high-grade intercepts at Creek.

Figure 1: Courvan Area Surface Map – Courvan Gold Trend new drilling resultsMineralization along the Courvan trend, including Bussiere Mine and Creek sectors, is characterized by a series of shallow-dipping East-West gold-bearing veins spatially associated with shear zones that intersect 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. Qualified Person The scientific and technical content of this press release has been prepared, reviewed, and approved by Mr. Vivien Janvier, 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.

Bonterra Announces 2025 Exploration Plans at its 100% Owned Desmaraisville South Project
Val-d'Or, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2025) - Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR) (OTCQX: BONXF) (FSE: 9BR2) ("Bonterra" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its 2025 exploration plans at its 100% owned Desmaraisville South Project (the "Project"). During the first half of the year, Bonterra's geology team has diligently worked on a comprehensive reinterpretation of the geological setting surrounding the Bachelor Mill Complex. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform known as DORA, the team has identified several high-potential drill targets. As a result, Bonterra is planning a 10,000 to 12,000 meters ("m") drill program expected to be completed by year-end (See Figure 1, which highlights the targeted areas, including those selected with the assistance of VRIFY's DORA). Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: "At our 100% owned Desmaraisville South Project, Bonterra's exploration strategy is focused on discovering new mineralized zones near the Bachelor Mill Complex. The 2025 exploration program builds on the success of the 2024 drilling campaign, which identified several high-priority targets. We also plan to test additional promising targets selected with the assistance of VRIFY's DORA. With the recent completion of our upsized financing, Bonterra is fully funded to execute on this year's exploration plans." 2025 Exploration Plans Drill 10,000 to 12,000 m near the Bachelor Mill Complex, including the Mistik 13, Hewfran and other targets, including a predominantly base metals target and VRIFY's AI-generated targets. Carry out field work, focusing on mapping, soil and rock geochemical sampling. Reinterpret the 2023 gravimetric geophysical surveys.
