Toronto, [September 20, 2005] -- Probe Mines Limited (TSX-V:PRB), is pleased to announce that a second phase of drilling is currently underway on the Victory Project, following a recently completed highresolution, detailed helicopter-borne geophysical survey.

Based on results from the initial diamond drilling program (see below), an AEROTEM helicopter-borne survey was flown by Aeroquest Ltd. over an area of the property believed to represent favourable volcanic vent facies lithologies. These rocks consist of sulphide-bearing, coarse fragmental volcanic units, and are similar to those typically associated with base metal VMS deposits. In addition to better delineation of known conductors, the survey has also identified three conductors that were not evident in initial geophysical data, two of which represent the highest priority drill targets in the survey area. The second phase drill program will begin on September 21, 2005. As with the first program, Norex Drilling of Porcupine Ontario will be responsible for drilling operations.

Assay results have just been received for diamond drill core from the first program and indicate highly anomalous values of copper and zinc in 8 of the 13 mineralized zones. This suggests that the Victory volcanic mineralizing systems are fertile and have the potential to generate base/precious metal-rich VMS deposits similar to those in the nearby McFauld's Lake belt. Drill Holes V2A-1, V2B-1, V3-1, V6-1, V10-1, V11-1, V14-1 and V15-1 all contained intersections of highly anomalous base metal mineralization, with values reaching up to 1700ppm combined Cu-Zn. The highest and most consistent values tend to occur in holes proximal to the recent AEROTEM survey, which provides additional evidence for the presence of a mineralized vent structure in this area.

Dr. David Palmer, President & CEO of Probe Mines Limited states, "Probe's work represents the first exploration ever to be undertaken in the area and we have gathered a great deal of information on the Victory Belt in a very short time. Our results indicate we are getting closer to one or more volcanic centers. The current drilling program will focus on this area, which we believe has excellent potential to host economic base and precious metal deposits."

On September 19, 2005 options in respect of an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares exercisable at $0.45 per share for a five year term were granted to directors. Directors and officers are not paid any salaries or fees for acting as such. The options are subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.
