Message: MICON Technical Report for Black Creek Now on SEDAR

Some Interesting Highlights and Recommendations giving further clarity to Probe's Black Creek deposit (Sedar Dated: Feb. 4/2011 - Titled: Technical report (NI 43-101) - English).

A Sample:


1.8 RECOMMENDATIONS

Having increased the resource to about 9 Mt, the immediate/short term goals for Probe
should be to complete metallurgical investigations to establish the product quality of the
massive chromite and the optimum beneficiation process for the semi-massive and
disseminated lower grade mineralization. Thus, Micon makes the following
recommendations. 6

1.8.1 Geology and Mineral Resource

The lateral extent of the deposit has been established in the last phase of drilling and the only other means of further increasing the resource is by deeper drilling in the north-eastern
section of the deposit. At this stage Micon believes that detailed metallurgical studies should
precede any further drilling to identify additional resources.

1.8.2 Metallurgy

Detailed mineralogical and metallurgical investigations are recommended in order to
determine the optimum beneficiation route for the resource and to establish the minimum
economic cut-off grade. The current resource estimate is based on a cut-off grade of 20%
Cr2O3; however, it is likely that lower grade material may be upgraded into marketable
concentrates.

The mineralogical investigations should focus on chromite grain liberation characteristics
and chemistry, and gangue mineralogy. The program of metallurgical testwork should
include the beneficiation of a wide variety of chromite feed grades, encompassing all
chromite mineralization styles found at the Black Creek deposit, and aim to establish product
quality/recovery relationships for a variety of feed samples.

1.8.3 Infrastructural Requirements

A basic survey of infrastructural requirements and exploring possible synergies of
cooperation with other parties holding prospective mineral resources in the McFaulds Lake area will be beneficial to Probe and should be initiated.
