(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

Probe Gold Inc. (formerly Probe Metals Inc.) (the "Company" or "Probe") was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) under the name "2450260 Ontario Inc." on January 16, 2015. Articles of amendment were subsequently filed on February 3, 2015 to change the name of the Company to "Probe Metals Inc." and on January 9, 2023 to change the name of the Company to "Probe Gold Inc.". The Company's head office is located at 56 Temperance Street, Suite 1000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 3V5. The Company's common shares started trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on March 17, 2015 under the trading ticker symbol "PRB". On January 27, 2023, the Company's common shares started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and ceased trading on the TSXV. The Company's symbol remained "PRB'. The Company, a Canadian precious metal exploration company, was formed following the acquisition of Probe Mines Limited by Goldcorp Inc. pursuant to the arrangement announced on January 19, 2015.

Probe is a leading Canadian gold exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of highly prospective gold properties. The Company is committed to discovering and developing high-quality gold projects, including its key asset the multimillion-ounce Novador (formerly Val-d'Or East Gold Project), Québec. The Company is well-funded and controls a strategic land package of approximately 1,500-square-kilometres of exploration ground within some of the most prolific gold belts in Québec.

The financial year end of the Company is December 31st.

1,399,925

  1. The flow-through common shares issued in the brokered private placement completed on March 27, 2023 were issued at a premium to the market price in recognition of the tax benefits accruing to subscribers. The flow-through premium was calculated to be $3,620,708.

The flow-through premium is derecognized through income as the eligible expenditures are incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company satisfied $2,220,783 of the commitment by incurring eligible expenditures of approximately $9,200,000 and as a result the flow-through premium has been reduced to $1,399,925.
