.......My apologies for this report as I received it this way....



TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 2, 2010) - The Directors of Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:PRB)("Probe") are very pleased to announce that the Company has received assay results from its first-phase drilling program on the Borden Lake Project near Chapleau, Ontario. A total of eight holes were drilled testing a surface gold showing on the property. Thick zones of continuous gold mineralization were intersected in holes BL10-02 to BL10-07 and represent 250 metres of potential strike length along the gold zone. All six holes ended in mineralization and the true width of the mineralization is still unknown. Hole BL10-02 intersected 91 metres averaging 2 g/t Au while Hole BL10-04 was collared at the same setup as BL10-02 but drilled in the opposite direction to BL10-02 and returned a 78 metre interval averaging 0.7 g/t Au. This fanned setup has identified continuous gold mineralization over 133 metres in width (plan view) and failed to pierce the hangingwall (upper) or footwall (lower) contacts of the gold zone. Sixty metres to the southeast, Hole BL10-05 returned an 86 metre intercept grading 1 g/t Au and BL10-06 contained a 78 metre interval averaging 0.9 g/t Au. Within all of these broad mineralized intercepts at least two significant higher-grade zones were identified with intervals returning up to 5.3 g/t Au over 5 metres including samples of up to 15.5 g/t Au over one metre.


Gold mineralization in the discovery area appears to be associated with a broad zone of disseminated sulphide, and is characterized by a lack of quartz veining. The horizon can be traced from airborne geophysics over approximately 1.2 kilometres within Probe's property and has been identified from surface to a vertical depth of 117 metres. The zone remains open in both directions along strike and at depth and these preliminary drill results indicate that gold grades may be increasing with depth. Perhaps more importantly, the full thickness of the zone has not been determined and there exists excellent potential for expanding the zone in every direction.

Accurassay employs an internal QA-QC program whereby every load of samples processed contains one standard (either certified reference material or material produced in-house traceable to certified reference materials), one blank and two duplicate samples. A duplicate is generated every 10th sample. Every 60th sample generates a replicate. In addition, Probe implemented a check assay program on selected samples utilizing either fire assay with a gravimetric finish or pulp metallic assays. A gravimetric finish allows for accurate determination of gold concentrations in higher-grade samples (greater than 2 g/t Au) while pulp metallic assays provide a more comprehensive analysis of gold in rock/core than the fire assay procedure. Pulp metallics is able to overcome the "nugget effect" of gold by increasing the sub-sample size to 1,000g and physically collecting the free gold within the system using a 150 mesh (106μ) sieve. The sub-sample is pulverized to ~90% -150 mesh (106μ) and subsequently sieved through a 150-mesh (106μ) screen. The entire +150 metallics portion is assayed along with two duplicate sub-samples of the -150 pulp portion. Results are reported as a weighted average of gold in the entire sample.
