Wayne uses advanced computer and instrument technology combined with traditional exploration methods to generate projects and new mineral discoveries.

With the assistance of Wayne, Noble Minerals has acquired the following Quebec exploration properties for staking cost.

Buckingham Graphite

The Buckingham graphite property is located in the Outaouais area of the Grenville Subprovince of Quebec.

The property consists of 30 claims (1803 hectares) and contains 3 separate graphite occurrences.  The main occurrence (McGuire) was worked by Stratmin Inc. in 1985-86 when a ground electromagnetic survey was done following a regional airborne survey.  Three diamond drill holes were completed to intersect the electromagnetic anomalies, 2 of which intersected graphite mineralization See Figure 1 .  The graphite was found to be hosted by marble and gneissic rocks.

Hole        Graphite                Length

86-40        10.9%                2.00m*

86-45        9.1%                3.65m*

Hole 86-41 did not intersect the electromagnetic anomaly.  Additional visual estimations of graphitic horizons were noted in the log descriptions but were not analyzed for graphite.

Although the nature of the graphite on the Buckingham Property has not been determined, graphite concurrences in this area are normally coarse grained, flake graphite.  This type of graphite is the most desirable of the naturally occurring type s that is used to produce lithium-based batteries.  Lithium-based batteries are required for a variety of 'green' technologies, including electric vehicles. The global demand for these types of products is expected to rise as world governments lean towards environmentally friendly products rather than petroleum-based ones.

The second graphite occurrence (Cummings) is described as a "deposit in the form of narrow bands of graphite occurring in gneiss and marble over a length of 300 m and a width of 30 m. The graphite occurs in several irregular bands within the 30 m zone."  The Cummings Occurrence is located about 1.5 km southeast of the McGuire Occurrence.

The third graphite showing on the property is called the Robidoux Occurrence and is located about 4 km east of the McGuire Occurrence.  It was described by the Quebec Superintendent of Mines in a 1910 report as a "partially uncovered graphitic bed over a length of about forty feet. Some shallow pits have also exposed graphitic outcrops, presumably of the same bed, for an additional distance of 75 to 100 feet. The bed where exposed by the main stripping is about four feet thick and dips into the side of a low hill at an angle of 40 to 50 degrees."  It was also noted that "the graphite ore contains over 30% carbon."

(Note: the exploration work, descriptions and analysis are historic and not 43-101 compliant)

Work program on the Buckingham Property will include a property visit with prospecting to identify the existing showings and historic drill holes.  A beep mat will be used to identify new conductive zones that may represent graphitic horizons.

The consideration for the acquisition are the costs of staking and reserving to the vendor a 2% NSR that will be subject to Noble's right to buyback 50% of the NSR for $1,000,000.

The Transactions are subject to approval of the Board of Directors of Noble, as well as to compliance with TSX Venture Exchange policies, securities laws and regulations and other laws and regulations.

Vance White, President and CEO of Noble, said "we are extremely pleased to have Wayne join the Noble team and to bring knowledge and understanding of projects in northern Ontario and Quebec. The addition of the Buckingham Graphite project adds in the search for viable projects related to the ever-evolving battery related industries in the search for a "greener" world. Following Exchange approval, a budget and plan of exploration will be developed."

Michael Newbury PEng (ON), a "qualified person" as such term is defined by National Instrument 43-101, has verified the data disclosed in this news release, and has otherwise reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release on behalf of Noble.
