Probe Mines Announces 600-Metre Strike Expansion of the High-Grade
Zone at Borden Gold
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 30, 2014) - Probe Mines
Limited (TSX-VENTURE:PRB)
Highlights:
- The 19,000 metre expansion drilling program has successfully
expanded the high-grade gold zone 600 metres along strike, to
Section 2600mSE, and remains open for further expansion to the
southeast;
- The 34 completed holes drilled in the expansion program
returned significant intersections of gold mineralization over
significant widths, including:
Section
2100mSE
40.0 metres averaging 3.0 g/t gold
- including 11.3 metres grading 4.5 g/t gold
Section
2200mSE
38.0 metres averaging 2.2 g/t gold
- including 10.7 metres grading 5.1 g/t gold
Section
2300mSE
17.9 metres averaging 3.6 g/t gold
- including 5.8 metres grading 8.4 g/t gold
Section
2400mSE
71.0 metres averaging 3.5 g/t gold
- including 4.7 metres grading 25.1 g/t gold
- also including 16.3 metres grading 4.5 g/t gold
Section
2500mSE
10.3 metres averaging 7.7 g/t gold
- including 5.0 metres grading 12.1 g/t gold
- The mineralized zone appears to be leveling off and not
plunging deeper to the southeast. The main part of the zone appears
to be remaining between approximately 450-550 metres depth from
Section 1800mSE to 2600mSE.
Probe Mines Limited (TSX-VENTURE:PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that it has received all results for its
expansion drilling program (the "Program") on the Company's Borden
Gold project near Chapleau, Ontario. Diamond drill holes BL14-587
to BL14-619 were received and were successful in demonstrating the
continuity of the high-grade gold mineralization over 600 metres of
additional strike length, which still remains open to the
southeast. The program was also significant as it indicates that
the High-Grade Zone ("HGZ") no longer deepens to the southeast but
has leveled off and the center is remaining between approximately
450 and 550 metres depth. This could have positive implications for
further exploration and potential development. All results from the
expansion program will be included in the next updated
43-101-compliant Resource Estimate, which will be the first to
include the HGZ.
The Program comprised 35 holes, drilled on 100 metre-spaced
sections from 2100mSE to 2600mSE, with all completed holes
intersecting gold mineralization. The Program was also successful
in delineating the HGZ on all sections drilled. Highlights of the
drilling include thick intersections of gold mineralization
amenable to potential underground mining, the most notable being
holes BL14-611 on Section 2400mSE which returned a 71-metre
interval grading 3.5 g/t Au, including 4.7 metres of 25.1 g/t Au;
and BL14-616W on Section 2100m SE consisting of 40 metres of 3.0
g/t Au, including 11.3 metres of 4.5 g/t Au. High-grade
mineralization was also reported from hole BL14-594 on Section
2500mSE, returning 10.3 metres of 7.7 g/t Au, including 5.0 metres
averaging 12.1 g/t Au.
Only one hole, BL14-608, was drilled on Section 2600mSE, but
successfully intersected gold mineralization, including almost
three metres averaging 8.7 g/t Au within a broad envelope of 26.6
metres grading 1.6 g/t Au. This indicates that there is still
potential for further expansion of the HGZ.
The program represents first-phase drilling on sections 2100mSE
to 2600mSE and successfully delineated the HGZ across 600 metres of
expanded strike length. In addition to the potential for further
expansion of the HGZ, it is expected that infill drilling on these
sections will continue to improve grades significantly.
One infill drill hole, BL14-617 (Section 1150mSE) is included in
these results and was drilled due to increased accessibility during
the winter season.
The following table shows selected drill results for the HGZ
expansion drilling, No top-cut was used in calculating the gold
intervals. Depths of the mineralized zone averaged approximately
480 metres depth. All drill widths approximate true width. Updated
plan and section maps for all holes are also available on the
Company's website at:

Dr. David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, comments, "The
Winter Program was a tremendous success in expanding the HGZ an
additional 60% in strike length to over 1.6 kilometres. The recent
results are still showing very thick intercepts of high-grade gold
indicating the continuation of the robust gold system. In addition,
the results also show the gold zone may be leveling off to the
southeast and not getting deeper. This could have a positive effect
on logistics and costs in any potential underground development
scenario. Results to date have shown consistent improvement in
grade along the entire 3.7 kilometres of strike length of the
deposit, and we are very encouraged by these results which show
significant potential for further improvement and expansion of the
HGZ. Probe will be hard at work during 2014 advancing the project
towards development."
Probe has instituted a strict quality assurance and quality
control ("QA-QC") program for the Borden Gold drill core sampling,
with each fire assay furnace batch of 40 samples including two
certified reference materials (standards), one blank sample and one
core duplicate sample. Quality control guidelines and ongoing QAQC
monitoring are being carried out by Probe personnel.

statements regarding exploration results, potential mineralization,
the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine
development plans, timing of the commencement of operations and
estimates of market conditions.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited
to, failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert
estimated mineral resources to reserves, the inability to complete
a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the
preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in

environmental or other project approvals, political risks,
inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate First Nations and
other indigenous peoples, uncertainties relating to the
availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes
in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates,
fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of
projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from
estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration
and development industry, and those risks set out in the Company's
public documents filed on SEDAR. Although the Company believes that
the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking
information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance
