Probe Resources Announces Gas Discovery at South Timbalier 214

Probe Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: PBR) (the "Company" or "Probe") is pleased to announce that commercial gas reserves have been discovered in the Probe operated South Timbalier 214 A-6 Sidetrack #1 well located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The well has reached total contract depth of 15,825' Measured Depth ("MD") and 14,751' True Vertical Depth ("TVD"). The Company encountered its primary objective in the Buliminella 1 formation, logging 88' feet of TVD net pay which exceeded the Company's expectations. The anticipated gross production rate from this formation is 25 - 35 MMcfd based on similar well performance in the area. Probe holds a 100% working interest ("WI") and a 70% net revenue interest ("NRI") in the well.

Production casing is currently being run in the well with completion operations to immediately follow. The well was drilled from a Probe-owned production platform in the adjacent block which is connected to the NYMEX premium market via a ready-for-service export pipeline. Production will commence once the completion has occurred, which is expected later this month.

Details of the current drilling program are more fully described in the Company's National Instrument 51-101 report filed December 22, 2008 and available for review at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website.
