Probe Mines Announces Additional Assay Results for Its Borden Gold Project: Expansion and Infill Drilling on the Main Mineralized Zone Returning Excellent Values

08.01.2013  |  Marketwired
Highlights:
- Continued improvement in the higher-grade core with numerous intercepts above 1.5 g/t Au, including 41.7 metres averaging 1.6 g/t Au and 35 metres grading 1.9 g/t Au;
- Main zone mineralization still open in all directions
- Gold-bearing intervals continue to be identified in the Hanging Wall zone
- Infill drilling continues to improve main zone mineralization with intervals of up to 83 metres averaging 1.0 g/t Au


TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/08/13 -- Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE: PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received further assays from its ongoing drilling program at the Company's Borden Gold project near Chapleau, Ontario. Results for diamond drill holes BL12-297 to BL12-313 were received and continue to expand the gold zone to depth, identify new mineralization to the hanging wall side (northeast) of the main zone and confirm the main zone through infill drilling. Although a number of intervals are of higher grade mineralization, these holes are not in the area of the recent high-grade discovery. The high-grade mineralization will be the focus of follow-up drilling when the program recommences in early January. The drilling up to, and including, Hole BL12-313 will all be part of an updated NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate to be released shortly.

Of the seventeen (17) new holes, four (4) represent expansion of the main zone mineralization to depth; two (2) represent drilling in the immediate hanging wall of the main zone testing for parallel gold zones; and the remaining eleven (11) were drilled as infill to previous drilling of the main zone.

Results continue to show a consistent overall improvement in grades with all but one of the intersections reported here returning values at or above the 0.6 g/t gold ("Au") cut-off used to define the Updated Resource (see news release dated April 2, 2012). A significant number of intersections also display average grades over 1.5 g/t suggesting that the higher-grade core zone is also improving. Notable intervals include 41.7 metres grading 1.6 g/t Au in Hole BL12-300 (Section 350m SE) and a 35-metre intercept averaging 1.9 g/t Au in Hole BL12-309 (Section 550m SE), which includes a 14.5 metre wide interval averaging 3.3 g/t Au.


The Hanging Wall drilling program remains successful in delineating gold mineralization above the main deposit to the northeast, with Hole BL12-298 (Section 650m NW) containing a number of gold-bearing intervals at shallow depths. Further drilling will be required in 2013 to better evaluate the gold zones identified during the 2012 program.


The following tables show selected results from Depth Extension, Hanging Wall and Infill drilling programs. For the majority of holes, drill width approximates true width. For holes BL12-304-306 and -312 true width is approximately 90% of drilled width.

Dr. David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, states, "Borden Gold continues to impress us with its potential, and the consistency of its mineralization. After more than 94,000 metres of drilling we are still showing improvement in the deposit, which remains open in all directions, and expect to continue advancing the project on both exploration and potential development fronts in 2013."


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.
