THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/30/08 --  Probe Resources
Ltd. (the "Company" or "Probe") (TSX VENTURE: PBR) is pleased to
announce that it has discovered commercial gas reserves in its East
Cameron 246 No. 2 well located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The well
is currently being drilled and has reached a measured depth of 9,346
feet and a true vertical depth of 6,694 feet as of 6:00am CDT today.
The Company encountered its primary objective in the Lentic formation
logging approximately 45 feet of net pay. It is anticipated that the
planned total depth of the well will be reached early next week. The
expected gross production rate from this formation is 10 - 15 MMcfd.
Probe holds a 100% working interest ("WI") and a 70% net revenue
interest ("NRI") in the well.
 
Upon completion of the drilling activities, production casing will be
run and the well will be suspended awaiting production facilities.
Production from the field is expected to commence late in the first
quarter of 2009. Further drilling in the field is planned during
2009.
 
Along with this discovery, the Company is currently executing the
development plan on its previously announced discovery at the East
Cameron 36 No. 1 well. The expected gross production rate for this
well is 5 - 10 MMcfd. Probe holds a 100% WI and a 69.5% NRI in the
well. Production is expected to commence in the first quarter of
2009.
 
Scott Broussard, Chairman and CEO of Probe, commented; "We are
encouraged by the recent success in our initial drilling program, and
we anticipate a continuation of gas discoveries consistent with our
expectations."
 
The Company also announces that the drilling rig under contract to
drill the South Timbalier 214 well is expected to move on to location
in mid November, 2008. The rig has experienced significant delays in
its completion of work for another operator due in large part to
Hurricane Ike. Probe holds a 100% WI and a 70% NRI in the well.
 
Additionally, due to extensive damage to onshore facilities, the
Company's High Island 115 B-1 sidetrack No. 2 well has not returned
to production since Hurricane Ike. Repairs to the facilities are
ongoing and should be completed by mid November. Probe holds a 41.5%
WI and a 30.9% NRI in the well.
 
Details of the current drilling program are more fully described in
the Company's National Instrument 51-101 report filed June 5, 2008
and available for review at www.sedar.com and on the Company's
website.
