Toronto, September 8, 2010 -- The Directors of PROBE MINES LIMITED (TSX-V: PRB) ("Probe") are pleased to announce that the Company has received geochemical results from its first-phase drilling property on the Cree Lake Project, currently under option from Mantis Mineral Corp (CNSX: MYN) ("Mantis"), in the Swayze Belt of Northeastern Ontario. A total of six holes were drilled testing Mantis' 2009 gold discovery, comprising a thick (15.5m), near surface, gold zone averaging 2.05 g/t Au, at depth and along approximately 150 metres of strike length. All holes intersected numerous, narrower, zones of gold mineralization grading up to 8 g/t Au, while Hole CL10-11 returned a five (5) metre section grading 2.3 g/t Au. Hole CL10-12 also tested the historical Flintrock showing and returned a one (1) metre intersection grading 24 g/t Au.

The program was successful in identifying numerous gold zones on the property and provided considerable geological information. Although no thick zones of mineralization were intersected in this program, the structural data obtained from this program is now being used to re-interpret the Mantis Zone and determine its probable orientation. Owing to the widespread occurrences of gold, and a reinterpretation of the Mantis Zone, the Company is now considering a second-phase program once a full evaluation of the results has been completed.

Probe is currently earning up to a 70% interest in the Cree Lake property from Mantis. The Mantis occurrence represents a new gold discovery in the Swayze Belt represented by a quartz stockwork system carrying significant gold values along substantial drill hole widths. The zone comes to surface and represents excellent open-pit potential for a gold deposit of the high tonnage, low-grade type. The property is situated along the Ridout deformation zone, a 130-kilometer long structure that hosts past producers such as the Jerome, Tyrranite and Kenty Mines, as well as numerous gold showings. The area has received recent attention with the identification of thick intervals of gold mineralization by Trelawney Mining on its Chester Gold Project, located approximately 60 kilometres southeast along strike in the Swayze Belt.
