This is great for Noront!. Remember this news release Probe had. When Noront is the operator in the Noront property nothing is found...land back to Noront. When Noront takes an interest in someone else's property then stuff is found..coincidence?

Not/wsr/gzz ....massive sulphides.

Remember this :"Seafield Resources Ltd. (“Seafield” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture Exchange, symbol “SFF”) reports that a drill was recently mobilized to the Seafield Fire property, optioned earlier this year from Noront Resources Ltd. and is testing the first of several geophysical anomalies located by the earlier airborne survey. The property is located in the “Ring of Fire”, McFauld’s Lake area, Ontario, some 60 km north of Noront’s Eagle One high grade copper-nickel-PGE discovery and only four km from the massive sulphide discovery made in May 2008 by WSR Gold Inc."

Remember, nothing was found ....JV cancelled. Yet, look at the proximity of this land to the recent NOT/WSR/GZZ.

Toronto, October 1, 2008 -- The Directors of PROBE MINES LIMITED (TSX-V: PRB) ("Probe") are pleased to announce that assay results have been received for core samples from the recently completed drilling program on the Company's 100%-owned McFauld's West property. Although only representative sampling of the peridotite was undertaken during the program, three of nine samples from the 60m intersection in hole MW08-08 returned significant and highly anomalous values in platinum, palladium and gold. A one metre section of peridotite at 136 metres depth returned the highest values with a combined 2.1g/t of platinum, palladium and gold. In addition, a 1.9m section of peridotite starting at 142m depth returned an average grade of 0.36 g/t combined platinum, palladium and gold. Nickel values in the PGE mineralized zones were also anomalous returning values of up to 416ppm. The following table shows precious metal results for the two anomalous intervals:

DDH From To Length Pt Pd Au Pt+Pd+Au
(m) (m) (m) (ppb) (ppb) (ppb) (ppb)
MW08-08 136 137 1 560 1356 190 2106
MW08-08 142 143.9 1.9 115 184 61 360



These intervals were taken as representative samples and therefore the core on either side was not split for assay. In response to these significant precious metal results in only a limited number of samples, the Company will now prioritize the sampling of the remaining 51 metres of peridotite core in order to better evaluate the potential of the body as a platinum group element (PGE) host. Additional sampling will also be undertaken on drill hole MW08-02, which intersected a similar interval of peridotite in the same intrusive body.

The preliminary assay results for the McFauld's West core samples are very encouraging and suggest that the peridotite on the McFauld's West property has the potential to host PGE mineralization. The Company is encouraged by these metal results from only a limited sampling of the peridotite and, owing to the difficulty in identifying PGE mineralization through visual observation, believes there is a strong possibility that the PGE mineralization is more widespread. The presence of PGE also provides encouragement for other metals, such as nickel and copper, in the host peridotite. It is important to note that the peridotite has only been drilled to a maximum vertical depth of 120m, and the potential for additional mineralization at depth remains high. The discovery was made approximately one kilometre northwest of the Eagle One high-grade nickel-copper PGE sulphide deposit which has a reported estimated resource (indicated) of 1,834,000 tonnes averaging 1.96% Ni, 1.18% Cu and 5.1g/t combined platinum, palladium and gold.

Probe is continuing exploration on its McFauld's Lake properties, which includes follow-up drilling on the sulphide mineralized ultramafic intrusive discovered on the Victory Project, and additional drilling of ground geophysical targets and peridotite on the McFauld's West property. Shareholders will be updated as soon as an exploration schedule has been determined.


About Probe Mines:

Probe Mines Limited is a Canadian base and precious metal exploration company with a portfolio of highly prospective mineral properties. The Company is currently focused on the McFauld's Lake area where it owns 931 claims covering almost 15,000 hectares. This includes a 100% interest in the McFauld's West Project, comprised of 12 claims (192 hectares) situated less than 450 metres from the site of Noront's significant new nickel-copper discovery, representing one of the closest properties to the discovery. Probe currently has joint venture agreements on its Bristol Township



Sometimes I look at my cost average and my stomach does a flip flop. But, when I see news like this and connect all the previous dots to new dots, my stomach settles down and the following words spew out of me....."these guys are good. These guys are really good."
