The Directors of PROBE MINES LIMITED (TSX VENTURE: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 (m) To (m) Length (m) Pt (ppb)  Pd (ppb)  Au (ppb) Pt+Pd+Au
                                                                      (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 gold project (West Timmins Mining
Inc.) and Tamarack base metal project (Mantis Mineral Corp.). The Bristol
Project is adjacent to the million-plus ounce gold deposit owned by Lake Shore
Gold Corp., which has recently announced a positive pre-feasibility study for
the project. Probe also maintains a 5% net smelter royalty on a portion of
Agnico Eagle's Goldex Mine near Val d'Or, Quebec, slated for production in 2008.
