Probe Mines Announces Additional Assay Results For Its Borden Lake Gold Project: Infill Drilling Returns Up to 100.9 Metres Grading 1.1 g/t Au; Options Granted

06.12.2011  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/06/11 -- Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE: PRB) ('Probe' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has received further assays from the ongoing drilling program at the Company's Borden Lake Gold Project near Chapleau, Ontario. Results for diamond drill holes BL11-106 to BL11-114 were received with intersections of up to 100.9 metres averaging 1.1 g/t gold ('Au') in infill drilling. Drilling results confirm the continuity of the mineralized zone within the previously announced Initial Resource Estimate and are also successfully identifying the hanging-wall 'satellite zone' first noted in the Initial Resource Estimate. A significant zone of 'satellite zone' mineralization was identified in Hole BL11-113, grading 1.9 g/t over a width of 9 metres. A number of higher-grade zones were also identified within the main deposit and include 23 metres averaging 2.1 g/t Au in BL11-106 and 17.8 metres grading 2 g/t Au in Hole BL11-111. Updated plans and sections are available on the Company's website at www.probemines.com.


Drill holes BL11-106 to BL11-113 represent infill holes between previously announced sections while Hole BL11-114 was designed to test mineralization at the deeper 350-metre level on section 700m NW. Holes BL11-107 and -108 were both drilled along section 150m NW and were stopped in diabase dyke without fully testing the mineralized horizon. Hole BL11-114 was lost at approximately 33 metres depth.


The goal of the infill program is to upgrade the classification categories of the previously announced gold Resource; expand the Resource to depth; and further delineate the 'satellite zones' identified in the Resource Estimate for inclusion in a future resource update, expected to start in January 2012.


The gold zone has been identified along approximately 1,700 metres of strike length from surface to vertical depths of up to 401 metres and contains intersections up to 200 metres wide. The recently reported NI 43-101 Initial Resource Estimate for the Borden Lake gold zone estimated, at a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t Au, an Indicated Resource of 11,607,000 tonnes averaging 0.8 g/t gold for 305,000 ounces of gold and an additional Inferred Resource of 169,322,000 tonnes averaging 0.69 g/t gold for 3,755,000 ounces of gold. The Resource Estimate was calculated using holes BL11-01 to BL11-77. The drill program is currently on Hole BL11-131 and the gold zone remains open in all directions.


Highlights from the drilling are presented in the following table. Reported drill widths in the tables approximate true widths in these sections. Within the gold mineralized intervals reported here, silver returns average values of up to 1.3 g/t, with individual samples assaying up to 18.1 g/t Ag.
