NOBLE COMMENCES DIAMOND DRILLING LUCAS TWP GOLD PROJECT TIMMINS, ONTARIO

Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. has provided additional updates on various aspects of the 2018 exploration campaign to be carried out on Noble’s project 81. Project 81 is a large contiguous, underexplored and prospective property north of Timmins and immediately north of the world-class Kidd Creek mine, celebrating its 50th year of continuous production.

Heliborne EM (electromagnetic) and mag survey over project 81 by BECI Exploration Consulting

Noble has completed and received final results of two airborne EM and mag surveys completed in January, 2012, and July, 2017, from BECI that now cover the entire approximately 70,000 hectares of project 81. These data have outlined several bedrock conductors and mineralized trends that have been confirmed by historical drill holes dating back to the 1960s. These surveys have identified EM and mag geophysical drill-ready targets in a number of the townships included in project 81.

Data compilation by ORIX Geoscience

Noble is pleased to announce that ORIX Geoscience Inc. has completed and presented to Noble and its current and prospective JV partners compilation reports on Lucas, Carnegie and Crawford townships. These reports identify a number of high-priority drill targets. It is anticipated that similar data compilation results for Dargavel, Lennox, Calder and Bradburn townships should be available in the very near term. ORIX will continue to compile comprehensive datasets for the entire project 81, that will allow Noble to aggressively seek additional JV partners

Lucas gold project

Noble is pleased to announce that it has commenced a diamond drilling campaign on the Lucas gold project, Lucas township, Timmins. The drill program is designed to test over 700 m strike length of the drill indicated historical gold mineralized structures, which lies within a 1,700 m EM anomalous trend identified from the recently completed airborne geophysical EM and differential mag survey. The historical drill results are not compliant with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101.

The designed drill program anticipates drilling up to 14 NQ-size diamond drill holes for approximately 3,000 m. The objective of this drill campaign is to confirm the historical drilling results dating back to 1960s to 1980s reported by Canico, McIntyre Porcupine Mines Ltd., Abitibi Price Resources and Lucas Gold Resources. Historical non-compliant National Instrument 43-101 results of up to 37 metres of 2.97 grams per tonne and 48.8 metres of 1.94 g/t gold have been previously released by the company in releases dated Dec. 1, 2011, and Dec. 5, 2011, and have been posted on the copany’s website. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to qualify these historical results under current standards, and Noble is not treating these results as current.
