Pro Minerals Inc.: Shining Tree Gold Project-Geophysical Results Received and Follow Up Program Initiated

Pro Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PRM) and its Board of Directors are pleased to
announce that the company has now initiated a follow-up exploration program on
its 100% owned Shining Tree Gold Project, after receipt of positive geophysical
results. Pro recently received Insight Geophysics' Final Report from the Tuned
Gradient IP Survey carried out this spring on the project. The survey
successfully identified a number of high priority targets which will now be
followed up by bedrock sampling. A crew has been dispatched to the field and
will be led by Robert D. Stewart, P.Geo. In recent months, Pro Minerals Inc.'s
ongoing exploration program at Shining Tree consisting of GIS compilation,
prospecting, geological mapping and geophysical surveys have outlined targets at
surface and at shallow depth that warrant follow-up inspection and drilling.


This round of bedrock sampling includes follow-up inspections to 5 high priority
targets outlined by Insight Geophysics Inc. using their proprietary Tuned
Gradient Induced Potential (IP) Array and Insight Section analysis. In addition
to assessing the highest priority Insight Section IP targets, outcrop
inspections will be completed for numerous secondary geophysical target
responses identified from the Tuned Gradient IP survey. Geochemical results from
this field program will be used to refine drill hole targets. As this property
was privately held for nearly 20 years, this will mark the first time a drill
program has ever been undertaken on these claims.


Background and Geological Details:

In March 2010, Insight Geophysics Inc. collected 7687m of Tuned Gradient IP
data, 1500m of Insight Section IP data and 8900m of total field magnetic data.
An initial detailed mapping program of the geophysical grid, infrastructure and
some outcrop geology was completed in April. Almost all relevant publicly
available geoscience data on and adjacent the project has been compiled into Pro
Mineral's geographical information system (GIS).


The Shining Tree Greenstone Belt is roughly equidistant (110km) from the
prolific mining centers around Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Cobalt-New Liskeard and
Sudbury in northern Ontario, Canada. Numerous occurrences of visible gold in
quartz veins have been found in the last century near Shining Tree and several
vein systems were developed as the Tyranite and Ronda mines. A major limitation
to developing mines in the past has been outlining sufficient resources beyond
the at-surface bonanza veins. Today's technologies allow us to better outline
prospective exploration targets extending from the at-surface bonanza veins.


Some recent highlights from Pro Minerals exploration program using today's
technologies include:




--  Insight Geophysics' proprietary resistivity and chargeability profiles
    have outlined vertical and gently dipping features that correlate to
    geological observations of disseminated sulfides in rhyolites with
    quartz veining, pervasive carbonate alteration and gently dipping
    gabbro-diorite bodies. Weak alteration and disseminated pyrite with or
    without elevated gold values at surface are considered by Pro Minerals
    to be above potentially mineralized structures.
--  Compilation has determined the Gold Corona-Churchill shafts, veins and
    massive sulfides are 130m to 300m east of the project and the Cochrane
    veins are 400m north of the project. Auriferous quartz veins that occur
    in the vicinity of the Gold Corona-Churchill shafts are near the
    formational rhyolite contact with mafic volcanics where exhalative
    massive sulfides and sill-like mafic intrusions are also present. Pro
    Minerals considers the north-west striking rhyolite contact appears to
    have an undulatory shallow to moderate dip which means the favourable
    stratigraphic zone for hosting auriferous quartz veins can be expected
    to be close to surface on the Pro Minerals claims. April mapping located
    at last one location on the project where the base of the rhyolite is
    adjacent mafic volcanics.
--  Compilation accurately positioned a gold in humic soil survey that shows
    a southwestern extension of the Churchill soil gold anomaly onto the Pro
    Minerals claims. The highest gold result of that soil survey occurs near
    Tuned Gradient IP chargeability peaks on the Pro Minerals project.
--  There are no drill holes on the Pro Minerals claims and all the IP
    targets outlined by Insight Geophysics appear to be untested. A primary
    target area (1200m by 100m) striking northwesterly will receive follow-
    up prospecting, geological mapping and sampling prior to drilling. The
    primary target area roughly parallels the formational rhyolite contact
    related to the auriferous quartz veins at the Cochrane, Gold Corona and
    Churchill showings.



The Shining Tree Camp is currently experiencing heightened interest, based on
recent announcements made by companies exploring in the camp. Creso Exploration
Inc. recently announced successful drill results including 65.7 metres of 18.2
g/t Gold and 79.6 metres of 4.61g/t Gold in hole #2 on their MINTO Project, and
Platinex Inc. have commenced an aggressive 11,500m drill program to further
evaluate and expand the Herrick gold deposit which sits approximately 1200
metres North of Pro Minerals Shining Tree Project.


The company would also like to invite the public to visit our website to view
"Pro Minerals Shining Tree video", which has now been posted. The 2 part, 15
minute video, contains portions of the previously mentioned mini documentary
which follows the staking rush that occurred in September 1996, when the Shining
Tree Camp was re-opened for exploration. The video gives the public a chance to
see first-hand just how this historic staking rush (which utilized high school
track athletes to get a leg up on the competition) took place, as well as
interviews with the individuals involved.
