TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Jan 7, 2014) - Probe Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PRB) is pleased to announce that it has received the remainder of the assays from its 2013 drilling program for the Company's Borden Gold project near Chapleau, Ontario. Results for 50 diamond drill holes, BL13-518 to BL13-567, were received and were successful in demonstrating the remarkable continuity and consistency of the high-grade gold mineralization, as well as enhancing the potential open pit gold mineralization in the northwest. The results represent the remaining assays for the 2013 drill program at Borden Gold. Drilling production exceeded expectations with 218 holes drilled totaling 83,899 metres for the year.

The 2013 drill program was the most successful to date for the Borden Project with the discovery of the High-Grade Zone ("HGZ"), its expansion to over one kilometer of strike length, which remains open in the southeast direction, and the continued grade improvement of the potential open pit mineralized zone to the northwest. 2013 was a milestone year for the project with Borden evolving into a robust, high-grade, gold deposit with the potential to become a less capital intensive project that is also less sensitive to fluctuations in gold price. Notably, 2013 was the Company's highest production year, in terms of drilling, but it was also the lowest in terms of per unit costs, helping to insure a strong treasury for 2014.

Drill crews are mobilizing today to commence the 2014 drilling program at Borden, which will be supported by four drills. The program will be focused on the HGZ, and particularly its expansion along strike. Weather conditions appear favourable for a successful winter program.


High-Grade Zone

Results from the twenty-three (23) infill drill holes in the high-grade gold zone were received and continue to show significant intersections of thick, high-grade gold mineralization. Of particular significance are results from Section 2000mSE, the furthest section southeast, which show robust gold mineralization and indicate the potential for continued expansion. Hole BL13-554, collared on Section 2000mSE, returned an interval of 35 metres grading 4.0 g/t gold ("Au"), including 20 metres of 6.5 g/t Au. Fifty metres away, on Section 1950mSE, drilling returned an interval of 17.5 metres averaging 6.6 g/t Au, including 8.3 metres of 11.0 g/t Au in hole BL13-567.

Other highlights from between Sections 1050mSE and 2000mSE, representing 950 metres of strike length, show consistent high-grade gold mineralization such as 42 metres of 4.9 g/t Au, including 13.9 metres averaging 12.9 g/t Au in Hole BL13-562 (Section 1600mSE); 37.0 metres grading 4.3 g/t Au, including 12.7 metres of 9.9 g/t Au in hole BL13-558 (Section 1650mSE); 16.1 metres grading 8.2 g/t Au in hole BL13-556 (Section 1750mSE) and 29.4 metres averaging 2.4 g/t Au, including 5.0 metres of 3.7 g/t Au and 3.9 metres of 4.4 g/t Au in hole BL13-544 (Section 1050mSE).

Owing to the success of the infill program, further infill work is anticipated during the 2014 drill program, following the expansion drilling.

The following table shows selected drill results for the HGZ, with all intervals approximating true width. Drilling also includes the shallow and deep holes necessary to bracket the gold mineralized structure in order to more accurately define its boundaries. Depths of the mineralized zones are between 320 and 590 metres vertical depth. Updated plan and section maps for all holes are available on the Company's website at www.probemines.com/s/Borden_Lake.asp?ReportID=584704&_Type=Borden-Gold:

General Infill Drilling

A total of twenty-seven (27) holes were drilled to further improve grade in the potential open pit mineralization to the northwest of the HGZ, with most showing enhancement of gold grades over previous drilling.

The program was successful with most of the holes demonstrating improvement within the test areas and/or support of the consistency and continuity in mineralization. Holes that returned weaker results typically fall in the periphery of the mineralized zone and were designed to test the limits of mineralization. Highlights of the drilling include 12.0 metres averaging 2.3 g/t Au within a broader envelope of 37.1 metres grading 1.3 g/t Au in Hole BL13-526 (Section 50mSE); 17.4 metres grading 1.8 g/t Au, including 3.0 metres averaging 6.2 g/t and a second interval of 18.0 metres grading 2.0 g/t Au both in Hole BL13-541 (Section 400mSE); 30 metres averaging 1.5 g/t Au, including 3.9 metres of 4.1 g/t Au in Hole BL13-543 (Section 500mSE); and 20.7 metres averaging 1.8 g/t Au, including 8.0 metres of 2.7 g/t Au in Hole BL13-546 (Section 550mSE).

It is expected that very little work remains on the general infill program and that future programs will focus primarily on the HGZ expansion and infill drilling. The drill results obtained on the general infill program since the last announced Resource Estimate (see news release dated January 15, 2013) are expected to improve future resource estimates for this area in terms of grade and total ounces of gold.

The following table shows selected results from the infill drilling, with all intervals approximating true width. Depths of the mineralized zones are between 180 and 430 metres vertical depth:

Dr. David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, comments "2013 was a great year for the project, with continued improvement in the deposit through the delineation of an extremely robust high-grade zone; increasing efficiency with lower costs, keeping us strong in weak markets; and the potential of continued expansion and discovery, all suggesting a promising year ahead for 2014. We are encouraged by the current results and feel they support an optimistic outlook for the upcoming exploration programs. We thank all of our investors for their past and continued support as we look forward to the start of another year on the project. We are confident that the high standard of quality achieved through the efficiency and diligence displayed by our geologists, technical staff, consultants and drill contractor will produce another banner year for the Company."

Probe has instituted a strict quality assurance and quality control ("QA-QC") program for the Borden Gold drill core sampling, with each fire assay furnace batch of 40 samples including two certified reference materials (standards), one blank sample and one core duplicate sample. Quality control guidelines and ongoing QAQC monitoring are being carried out by Probe personnel.
