Probe Mines Continues to Intersect High-Grade Gold on its Borden Gold Project, Ontario

15.10.2013  |  Marketwired
Highlights:

- Zone expanded a further 100 metres to the southeast with Section 2000m SE intersecting intervals of up to 24.2 metres averaging 4.1 g/t Au;

- Infill drilling within High-Grade Zone ("HGZ") continues to intersect thick, high-grade gold mineralization, with intervals of 12.4 metres averaging 10.9 g/t Au (Section 1750m SE); 31.3 metres grading 4.0 g/t Au, including 23.2 metres averaging 5.5 g/t Au (Section 1800m SE); and 42.0 metres grading 3.1 g/t Au, including 9.2 metres averaging 7.0 g/t Au (Section 1650m SE);

- 25-metre infill drilling program near original discovery section successful in demonstrating higher grades for bulk tonnage-style mineralization with intercepts of 95.8 metres averaging 2.0 g/t Au, including 8.6 metres grading 6.5 g/t Au (Section 25m SE); 53.0 metres averaging 1.5 g/t Au, including 17.8 metres of 3.1 g/t Au (Section 75m SE); and 76 metres grading 1.3 g/t Au, including 20.0 metres of 2.8 g/t Au (Section 125m SE)


TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Oct 15, 2013) - Probe Mines Ltd. (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 53 diamond drill holes, BL13-465 to BL13-517, were received and were successful in expanding and confirming the continuity of the high-grade gold mineralization between Sections 1550m SE and 2000m SE. The program also included results for a small infill program drilled at 25-metre spacing near the original discovery section (0m SE). The program was successful in delineating higher-grade mineralization within the bulk tonnage zone.

Drilling is continuing on the high-grade zone and results will be released as soon as they are received. The Company is also planning a winter drilling program designed to continue the expansion of the High-Grade Zone ("HGZ") to the southeast.


High-Grade Zone

Results from thirty-three (33) infill drill holes in the high-grade gold zone returned significant intersections of thick, high-grade gold mineralization. Included in these results are the first holes from Section 2000m SE, which has successfully expanded the HGZ an additional 100 metres to the southeast. Hole BL13-485 on section 2000m SE returned a 24.2-metre wide interval averaging 4.1 g/t Au, including one sample which graded 58.6 g/t Au over 0.9 metres. In addition to the expansion holes, the infill drilling was successful in further defining the HGZ. Diamond drill hole BL13-478 on Section 1750m SE returned an interval of 12.4 metres averaging 10.9 g/t Au; while hole BL13-477 returned 31.3 metres grading 4.0 g/t Au, including 23.2 metres averaging 5.5 g/t Au and 6.2 metres of 11.3 g/t Au from Section 1800m SE. Hole BL13-488 intersected 42.0 metres grading 3.1 g/t Au, including 9.2 metres averaging 7.0 g/t Au on Section 1650m SE.

The current drilling continues to be successful in defining the HGZ, confirming its lateral continuity and displaying its potential as a possible underground resource. The mineralization still remains open along strike and drilling will be focused on further definition of the deposit through the fall and expansion during the winter, weather permitting.

The following table shows selected drill results for the HGZ, with all intervals approximating true width. Depths of the mineralized zones are between 300 and 560 metres vertical depth. Updated plan and section maps for all holes are available on the Company's website atwww.probemines.com/s/Borden_Lake.asp?ReportID=569319.

25-Metre Infill Drilling

A 25m-spaced drilling program was implemented during the summer drilling program in order to investigate grade variability and the potential to increase grade in the bulk tonnage zone through tighter spaced sections. The 11-hole program was successful, returning numerous thick intersections of higher grade mineralization between sections 0m SE and 150m SE. Results include 95.8 metres averaging 2.0 g/t Au, including 8.6 metres grading 6.5 g/t Au in hole BL13-497 on Section 25m SE; 53.0 metres averaging 1.5 g/t Au, including 17.8 metres of 3.1 g/t Au in Hole BL13-491 on Section 75m SE; and 76 metres grading 1.3 g/t Au, including 20.0 metres of 2.8 g/t Au from Hole BL13-503 on Section 125m SE.

It is expected that the results from this program will enhance future resource estimates with respect to the bulk tonnage, lower-grade mineralization in a potential open pit environment. Given the success of this program, further 25-metre infill drilling will be contemplated for other areas of the deposit in the future, however, drilling on the HGZ will remain the priority of the current program.

The following table shows selected results from the infill drilling, with all intervals approximating true width. Depths of the mineralized zones are between 20 and 200 metres vertical depth:

General Infill Drilling

Further results from infill drilling to the northwest of the HGZ were successful in further defining the gold mineralization. A number of significant gold intervals were identified, including 15.1 metres averaging 2.0 g/t Au in hole BL13-515 on Section 150m SE and 5.0 metres grading 4.6 g/t Au in hole BL13-514 on Section 250m SE. Results also include three holes drilled in the footwall to the mineralized horizon, which returned negligible results and a deeper hole on Section 250m NW which also returned grades below cut-off. Gold mineralization still remains open in the northwest direction.

The following table shows selected results from the infill drilling, with all intervals approximating true width. Depths of the mineralized zones are between 10 and 270 metres vertical depth:

Dr. David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, comments "These recent results are very encouraging, not only from the perspective of expanding the high-grade zone, but also from continued improvement in grade in the rest of the deposit. This tendency towards increasing grade has been a hallmark of the deposit since its discovery less than three years ago and we are looking forward to continuing this trend with the current drilling program. Fortunately, Probe is in a very strong position and we can continue to advance the deposit through 2014 and beyond."

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.
