Leading Independent Advisory Firms ISS and Glass Lewis Recommend Shareholders of Probe Mines Limited

Vote FOR the Proposed Plan of Arrangement Between Probe Mines Limited and Goldcorp Inc.

TORONTO, Feb 27, 2015 - Probe Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that both Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") and Glass Lewis and Co. ("Glass Lewis"), two leading independent proxy advisory firms have recommended that shareholders of Probe support the proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") between Probe and Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp") at the special meeting of Probe shareholders scheduled for March 11, 2015. If shareholders approve the Arrangement, Probe shareholders will receive for each Probe share that they hold 0.1755 of a common share of Goldcorp, $0.001 in cash and 0.3333 of a common share of Probe Metals Inc. a newly incorporated company. Goldcorp will acquire all the issued and outstanding Probe shares if shareholders vote FOR the arrangement.

The ISS endorsement noted that a vote for the Arrangement is warranted based on "the significant implied premium and the reasonable strategic rationale" of the Arrangement. Glass Lewis called the transaction "strategically compelling for Probe shareholders". In reaching its conclusion, Glass Lewis commented that Probe shareholders could benefit from the producing assets, greater scale and financial resources of the combined company.

Both ISS and Glass Lewis noted that the Arrangement offered Probe shareholders the opportunity to own shares in a high quality, low-cost gold producer with an industry leading dividend and a positive free cash flow generating ability as well as exposure to Goldcorp's portfolio of well diversified world-class assets in safe jurisdictions.

We encourage all Probe shareholders to read the Information Circular with respect to the Arrangement, which was mailed to Probe shareholders of record as of February 9, 2015. The Information Circular is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. and contains a detailed description of the Arrangement.

The board of directors of Probe unanimously recommends that Probe shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement and the related resolutions to be considered at Special Meeting of Probe shareholders on March 11, 2015.

Probe shareholders are reminded to vote before the proxy cut-off time at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Monday March 9, 2015.
