About Probe's Novador project
Since 2016, Probe Gold has been consolidating its land position in the highly prospective Val d'Or East area in the province of Quebec with a district-scale land package of 685 square kilometres that represents one of the largest landholdings in the Val d'Or mining camp. The Novador project represents one property block of 175 square kilometres that hosts four past-producing mines (Beliveau mine, Bussiere mine, Monique mine and Beaufor mine) and contains 80 per cent of the company's gold resources in Val d'Or East. Novador is situated in a politically stable and low-cost mining environment that hosts numerous active producers and mills.
