Press Release - 09/2006

Toronto, June 19, 2006 - The Directors of Probe Mines Limited (TSX-V: PRB) are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached to option the Greenlaw property in Greenlaw Township near Chapleau, Ontario. The Greenlaw property falls within the Shunsby Volcanic Belt, which is host to numerous volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) occurrences, including at least two base-metal zones discovered within Probe's claim boundaries. Previous work on the property, including limited diamond drilling, resulted in drill intersections of up to 0.27% Cu, 5.73% Pb, 2.17% Zn and 0.32 oz/t Ag over a width of 4.8m and the discovery of a separate base-metal zone, exposed in trenching, which has not been representatively sampled or drilled. In addition, numerous untested conductors occur on the property, including two that are considered high-priority. The VMS mineralization and untested geophysical targets will be the focus of an upcoming exploration program, which will comprise geophysics and diamond drilling. Fieldwork is expected to begin this summer, culminating in a diamond drilling program.

Probe has the right to earn a 100% interest in the property by making cash payments totaling $35,000 and issuing 200,000 shares over the three-year term of the agreement. The vendors maintain a 3% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) interest on metals and a 2% gross overriding royalty (GORR) on diamonds and gemstones, while Probe Mines retains an option to buy back 1.5% of the NSR for $1,000,000 and 1% of the GORR for $1,000,000. This agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
