Therefore, the work results and estimates herein may be considered to be generally indicative only of the nature and quality of the projects. No representation or prediction is intended as to the results of future work, nor can there be any promise that the estimates herein will be confirmed by future exploration or analysis, or that the projects will otherwise prove to be economic.
Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation includes certain "forward-looking statements". All statements other than statements of historical fact, included in this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of Probe, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially form those anticipated in such statements.

Corporate Highlights
Victory Project
• Significant land package in associated volcanic
belt
• Sulphide-mineralized ultramafic rocks identified
during 2008 drill program, possible corollary to
“Ring of Fire”
Goldex Royalty
• 5% Net smelter royalty on a portion of Agnico Eagle’s
producing Goldex Mine in Val d’Or
• Potential non-dilutive revenue stream
West Timmins Project
• About 800 metres from Lake Shore Gold’s high-grade Porphyry
Zone gold discovery (83.4m @ 12.75g/t Au).
• JV with Lake Shore Gold; upcoming drill program planned
4
Borden Lake
New gold discovery located near Chapleau, Ontario
Airborne geophysics trace horizon over approximately
1.5km within Probe's property
Extensive drilling program currently underway
Cree Lake
Prospective gold property located in Swayze township;
excellent open-pit potential for a high tonnage, low-
grade gold deposit
Drilling program currently underway
Tamarack Project
• 100%-owned project hosting the predicted extension
of the “Ring of Fire” horizon and VMS belt
• Discovery of the high-grade A-Zone VMS deposit in
2005, up to 7.8m of 3.1% Cu
Black Creek Project
• High-grade Black Creek chromite deposit discovered in July 2009
• NI 43-101 Resource Estimate calculated; 10MM tonnes Cr2O3
• Strategically located along the main Ring of Fire” trend, between
Black Thor/Big Daddy Chromite Deposits
Borden Lake Project
5
• New gold discovery located near Chapleau, Ontario, within 1 km of major highway and well-developed local infrastructure
• Hosted by overlooked section of Timiskaming sediments
• Excellent potential to host a low-grade, bulk tonnage deposit
Borden Lake Project
6
• Extensive drilling program currently underway, to date 27 holes have been drilled representing 960m of strike length (assays pending)
• Geophysics indicates horizon could be over 1.5km in length
• Mineralization characterized by higher grade zones occur within a broad, lower grade envelope
Borden Lake Project
7
• Assay results confirm gold
mineralization over 560m along
strike
• Mineralized zone intersected
from surface for widths of up to
220m to a depth of 200m
• Intersections include 91m
averaging 2.0g/t Au in the
discovery hole and up to 182
metres grading 1.1g/t Au in
follow-up drilling
• Higher grade zones with
samples of up to 26.5 g/t Au
• Open at depth and along strike
Black Creek Chromite Discovery
• Strategically located in the heart
of the “Ring of Fire”
• 2009 drilling program resulted in discovery of high-grade “Black Creek” massive chromite zone
• August 2010 Probe acquires 100% interest in Black Creek and dissolves Probe-Noront Joint Venture; announces initial NI 43-101 resource estimate
• September 2010, Phase III drilling commences
• December 2010, updated 43-101 released
8
Black Creek Chromite Discovery
• Chromite horizon intersected under less than 4m of overburden; potential open-pit extraction
• A single open-pit design could be access point for both Black Creek and Black Thor chromite deposits
• Black Creek chromite deposit appears to continue on Cliff’s property

West Timmins Project
• Joint venture project between Probe (45%)
and Lake Shore Gold (LSG) (55)%)
• Immediately adjacent LSG’s West
Timmins Gold Mine (1,290,000 ozs Au)
and within 800 metres of the high-grade
Porphyry Zone discovery of an 83.4 metre
section grading 12.75 g/t Au
• Additional high-grade gold discoveries
continue to be identified near the eastern
edge of the Porphyry Zone, including
147.3 metes of 11.53g/t Au; 18.6 metres
of 75.14 g/t Au; and 4.60 metres of 284.19
g/t Au
• Alteration similar to that associated with
the Porphyry Zone to be tested in
upcoming drill programFall Drill Program Complete,
Assays Pending
10
The Goldex Royalty
• Probe Holds a 5% Net Smelter Royalty on a portion of Agnico-Eagle Mines’ Goldex Deposit (1.6M ozs Au)
• Production officially commenced June 2008; expected to produce 170,000 oz/year
• Independent valuation of the royalty currently underway
• AEM continuing exploration within royalty boundary
