Cautionary Notes

DisclaimerThis presentation contains a review of the Company’s projects in Canada. Viewers are cautioned that the projects are at an early stage of exploration and that estimates and projections contained herein are based on limited and incomplete data. More work is required before the mineralization on the projects and their economic aspects can be confidentially modeled. 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.

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

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

Page 7: TSX.V: PRB Focused on Creating Significant Shareholder Value in 2011

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

Page 9: TSX.V: PRB Focused on Creating Significant Shareholder Value in 2011

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

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
