Probe Gold Strengthens Its Exploration Position with Stella Property
Probe Gold Inc. is continuing to solidify its presence in the Val-d’Or region by completing the acquisition of the Stella Property. This strategic move reflects the company’s commitment to enhancing its exploration landscape in one of the most resource-rich areas.
Exemplifying Strategic Land Acquisition
The acquisition of the Stella Property plays a vital role in Probe Gold's long-term strategy to secure key exploration lands. Covering 30 square kilometers, the Property is not only low-cost but also rich in potential for high-grade gold mineralization. Historically, it boasts the notable Lacoma gold zone, which was first identified in 1925, positioning the Stella Property crucially between Probe’s existing Croinor and Megiscane properties.
Historic Significance and Exploration Potential
The story of the Stella Property dates back to its initial exploration in the 1930s, when significant drilling and development efforts led to the identification of mineralized veins, yielding impressive results, such as 39 grams per tonne of gold. Post-1939, exploration activities dwindled, but modern efforts in the 1980s and later have validated the area’s ongoing potential with positive drilling results from several campaigns.
Details of the Ownership Transfer
As part of the agreement, Probe has successfully acquired a 100% interest in the Stella Property through a payment of 149,066 common shares at a value determined by the 15-day volume weighted price. This strategic maneuver not only enhances Probe’s overall land portfolio but also demonstrates confidence in the Property’s significant exploration potential.
Exploration Undertakings: Past and Future
Exploration activities at the Stella Property have varied over decades, where historic records highlight the challenges yet undiscovered prospects. Recent exploration near the historical Lacoma shaft identified mineralization in quartz-veined and pyrite-rich diorite stockwork, indicating the need for further investigation and drilling to explore depths and extend known structures.
Probe Gold and the Novador Project
In addition to the Stella Property, Probe's Novador Project stands as its flagship operation. With a large-scale land package in the Val-d’Or East area, the Novador project encompasses former producing mines and contains significant quantities of gold resources. A recent Preliminary Economic Assessment reinforces the project's viability and highlights the strategic advantage of being located in a favorable mining environment.
