Probe Mines Appoints Michael Petrina as Chief Operating Officer

10.04.2013  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/10/13 -- Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE: PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Mr. Michael Petrina, P.ENG, MBA, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer ("COO") for the Company. Mr. Petrina will lead the development of the Borden Gold project including reviewing and finalizing the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Prior to his appointment, Mr. Petrina served as Vice President of Operations for MAG Silver Corp. where he played a key role in the development of the Juanicipio project.


Mr. Petrina brings over 25 years of extensive experience in operations, engineering, mine development, financial modeling and acquisition analysis, and is a past technical advisor and engineering consultant for numerous mining companies. He is a Professional Engineer (P.ENG, Mining - Queen's University) registered in British Columbia and holds an MBA from the University of Athabasca. Prior to MAG Silver, Mr. Petrina held the position of Vice President, Mining for Hawthorne Gold Corp. and has also held senior positions with Adanac Molybdenum Corporation, Pan American Silver Corporation, Breakwater Resources Ltd, TVX Gold Inc. and Kilborn Engineering.


Mr. Petrina has worked in operations, engineering and consulting roles in both open pit and underground environments. His experience includes the start-up and subsequent operation of three projects: Teck Resources Bullmoose Coal, TVX's New Britannia Mine and Pan American Silver's Hauron Mine. He also played a key role in the development of Adanac Molybdenum's Ruby Creek project taking it to the detailed engineering phase.


As part of his role, Mr. Petrina will review and provide guidance on the work being done for the Borden Gold deposit PEA. Recent drilling results suggest that the potential for high-grade, underground gold resources may have a significant positive impact on the scope and economics of the project, and affect the PEA timeline. Updates on the PEA will be released when available.


Dr. David Palmer, President of Probe, states: "We are very pleased to have Mike join our team. The Company and the Borden Gold project are growing rapidly and Mike's depth of skills and experience will be invaluable for advancing the project through to development. Mike joins us at the most opportune time, as he will be guiding the project from the beginning, starting with the PEA, and through potential development. The project continues to evolve and Mike's background in both open-pit and underground operations will allow us to maintain our momentum and adapt to the positive changes in this growing project."


Mr. Petrina will begin working as Probe's COO on April 16th, 2013. As a COO, Mr. Petrina will be granted options to acquire 250,000 common shares of Probe for a period of five years.
