VMS Vortex Metals Inc

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.
