TORONTO, ONTARIO -- Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received further assay results from an ongoing drilling program on its Borden Lake gold project near Chapleau, Ontario. Results for diamond drill holes BL11-26 to BL11-28, and the remaining results for drill hole BL11-25, were received and successfully intersected gold mineralization underneath and to the southeast of the original discovery holes.

Gold mineralization intersected in the current holes is similar to that previously reported and is comprised of thick sections of disseminated sulphides hosted by predominantly Timiskaming-age sediments with subordinate gold-bearing granitic pegmatite and amphibolites. Significant widths of gold mineralization were returned from all holes, and include: a 108.9 metre interval averaging 1.1g/t Au in Hole BL10-27, a 136.8 metre interval grading 1.2 g/t Au in Hole BL11-28 and a 119 metre section grading 0.7 g/t Au in Hole BL11-26. The following table presents the highlights from the four holes. Reported drill widths approximate true widths in these sections:

Hole BL11-26 was drilled to undercut the mineralization in Holes BL10-2, 3 and 4 (the discovery holes), as well as Holes BL11-09 and 10, and extended the mineralized zone to approximately 280 metres depth, while holes BL11-27 and 28 represent the first complete sections drilled to the southeast of the discovery holes. The latter holes were designed to test the zone at 150 and 200 metres depth. The remaining results for Hole BL11-25, drilled on the section 700 metres northwest of the discovery, were also received and extended the mineralized interval previously announced in a press release dated March 15, 2011 an additional 13.3 metres in width.

The second phase program has now drilled approximately 6,400 metres in 28 holes (BL10-09 to BL11-36) and to date has tested approximately 1.2 kilometres of strike length along the zone, which remains open in all directions. Drilling will continue testing the strike and depth extents of the gold zone until the full limits of the mineralized horizon have been tested.

Updated plan and section maps are available on the Company's website at www.probemines.com.

Probe has instituted a strict quality assurance and quality control ("QA-QC") program for the Borden Lake drill core sampling, with each batch of samples including two certified reference materials (standards), one blank sample and one core duplicate sample in predetermined batches comprising 40 samples. Quality control guidelines have been set out by Independent Qualified Person ("IQP") Ms. Tracy Armstrong, P.Geo., of P & E Mining Consultants Inc.
