Probe Mines Announces 600-Metre Strike Expansion of the High-Grade Zone at Borden Gold
2014年4月30日 - 7:00PM
Marketwired Canada
Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:PRB)
Highlights:
-- The 19,000 metre expansion drilling program has successfully expanded
the high-grade gold zone 600 metres along strike, to Section 2600mSE,
and remains open for further expansion to the southeast;
-- The 34 completed holes drilled in the expansion program returned
significant intersections of gold mineralization over significant
widths, including:
Section 2100mSE
40.0 metres averaging 3.0 g/t gold
-- including 11.3 metres grading 4.5 g/t gold
Section 2200mSE
38.0 metres averaging 2.2 g/t gold
-- including 10.7 metres grading 5.1 g/t gold
Section 2300mSE
17.9 metres averaging 3.6 g/t gold
-- including 5.8 metres grading 8.4 g/t gold
Section 2400mSE
71.0 metres averaging 3.5 g/t gold
-- including 4.7 metres grading 25.1 g/t gold
-- also including 16.3 metres grading 4.5 g/t gold
Section 2500mSE
10.3 metres averaging 7.7 g/t gold
-- including 5.0 metres grading 12.1 g/t gold
-- The mineralized zone appears to be leveling off and not plunging deeper
to the southeast. The main part of the zone appears to be remaining
between approximately 450-550 metres depth from Section 1800mSE to
2600mSE.
Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has received all results for its expansion drilling program
(the "Program") on the Company's Borden Gold project near Chapleau, Ontario.
Diamond drill holes BL14-587 to BL14-619 were received and were successful in
demonstrating the continuity of the high-grade gold mineralization over 600
metres of additional strike length, which still remains open to the southeast.
The program was also significant as it indicates that the High-Grade Zone
("HGZ") no longer deepens to the southeast but has leveled off and the center is
remaining between approximately 450 and 550 metres depth. This could have
positive implications for further exploration and potential development. All
results from the expansion program will be included in the next updated
43-101-compliant Resource Estimate, which will be the first to include the HGZ.
The Program comprised 35 holes, drilled on 100 metre-spaced sections from
2100mSE to 2600mSE, with all completed holes intersecting gold mineralization.
The Program was also successful in delineating the HGZ on all sections drilled.
Highlights of the drilling include thick intersections of gold mineralization
amenable to potential underground mining, the most notable being holes BL14-611
on Section 2400mSE which returned a 71-metre interval grading 3.5 g/t Au,
including 4.7 metres of 25.1 g/t Au; and BL14-616W on Section 2100m SE
consisting of 40 metres of 3.0 g/t Au, including 11.3 metres of 4.5 g/t Au.
High-grade mineralization was also reported from hole BL14-594 on Section
2500mSE, returning 10.3 metres of 7.7 g/t Au, including 5.0 metres averaging
12.1 g/t Au.
Only one hole, BL14-608, was drilled on Section 2600mSE, but successfully
intersected gold mineralization, including almost three metres averaging 8.7 g/t
Au within a broad envelope of 26.6 metres grading 1.6 g/t Au. This indicates
that there is still potential for further expansion of the HGZ.
The program represents first-phase drilling on sections 2100mSE to 2600mSE and
successfully delineated the HGZ across 600 metres of expanded strike length. In
addition to the potential for further expansion of the HGZ, it is expected that
infill drilling on these sections will continue to improve grades significantly.
One infill drill hole, BL14-617 (Section 1150mSE) is included in these results
and was drilled due to increased accessibility during the winter season.
The following table shows selected drill results for the HGZ expansion drilling,
No top-cut was used in calculating the gold intervals. Depths of the mineralized
zone averaged approximately 480 metres depth. All drill widths approximate true
width. Updated plan and section maps for all holes are also available on the
Company's website at: www.probemines.com/s/Borden_Lake.asp?ReportID=569319

Dr. David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, comments, "The Winter Program was
a tremendous success in expanding the HGZ an additional 60% in strike length to
over 1.6 kilometres. The recent results are still showing very thick intercepts
of high-grade gold indicating the continuation of the robust gold system. In
addition, the results also show the gold zone may be leveling off to the
southeast and not getting deeper. This could have a positive effect on logistics
and costs in any potential underground development scenario. Results to date
have shown consistent improvement in grade along the entire 3.7 kilometres of
strike length of the deposit, and we are very encouraged by these results which
show significant potential for further improvement and expansion of the HGZ.
Probe will be hard at work during 2014 advancing the project towards
development."
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.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as "believes",
"anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or
"plan". Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address
future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks
and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently
available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results
will meet management's expectations. By their very nature, forward-looking
information involves risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information.
Forward looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited
to, the Company's objectives, goals or future plans, statements regarding
exploration results, potential mineralization, the estimation of mineral
resources, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of
operations and estimates of market conditions.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, failure to identify
mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves,
the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production
decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in
obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other
project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate
First Nations and other indigenous peoples, uncertainties relating to the
availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity
markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices,
delays in the development of projects, capital and operating costs varying
significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral
exploration and development industry, and those risks set out in the Company's
public documents filed on SEDAR. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in
this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such
information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no
