Probe Mines to Acquire the Borden Lake Gold Project, Chapleau, Ontario

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 26, 2010) - The Directors of Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:PRB) ("Probe") are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached to option the Borden Lake Gold property in Cochrane Township near Chapleau, Ontario, subject to regulatory approval. The Borden Lake property represents a new gold discovery associated with Timiskaming-age sediments in an underexplored part of the Kapuskasing Structural Zone. Timiskaming sediments often show a spatial association with large-scale Archean lode gold deposits such as those found in the Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Hemlo and Red Lake gold camps and thus represent an important geological indicator for the gold potential of an area.

The Borden Lake showing represents a surface gold discovery, identified over an area 150 metres long by up to 45 metres wide, hosted by a highly altered and metamorphosed suite of rocks within the volcano-sedimentary horizon. Grab samples from selected outcrop returned values of up to 3.4 g/t gold, and the property is considered to have excellent potential to host a low-grade, bulk tonnage-type of gold deposit. Limited exploration work investigating the base metal potential of the volcanic horizon was previously undertaken by Noranda. Sulphide mineralized felsic fragmental units were identified which returned anomalous base metal concentrations, suggesting good potential for hosting volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits.

Probe is currently in the process of contracting a high-resolution VTEM airborne survey over the property in order to identify potential electromagnetic anomalies and assist in the geological and structural interpretation of the gold mineralization. Ground geophysical programs utilizing Induced Polarization and follow-up drilling are also planned once airborne data has been received and interpreted.

Probe has the right to earn a 100% interest in the property by making cash payments totaling $55,000 and issuing 300,000 shares over the four-year term of the agreement. The vendors maintain a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) interest, while Probe retains an option to buy back 1% of the NSR for $1,000,000.
