Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.

Toronto, Ontario TheNewswire - January 19, 2026 Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ("Noble" or the "Company") (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) is pleased to announce the results of the first hole drilled in Carnegie Township near Timmins, Ontario, Canada.  The drill program is part of a 5050 partnership with Canada 11530313 Canada Inc. and will include two 500-meter holes that have been located to follow up on drilling done in 2019.  Recent analysis of downhole geophysics from that program indicated that conductors may have been missed and additional down hole geophysics has been done on the new hole (Figure 1).  Heavy snowfall and extreme low temperatures have hampered the drilling but the first hole is now complete, analyses received and down hole surveying done.

In drill hole CG-25-01, a 6.5m section analyzed 0.64% zinc with associated, anomalous values in copper, silver and lead from 141.0 to 147.5 meters down hole (true width not known at this time).  A 1-meter section within the wider section was found to run 1.90% zinc. The anomalous mineralization was found to occur in a weakly laminated sulphide rich graphitic sediment.  Mineralization consisted of about 5% pyrrhotite, with local concentrations of up to 10-15%.  

A Mise à la masse (MALM) survey was competed down hole in the anomalous section.  Mise-a-la-Masse (MALM survey) is a downhole geophysical technique used in exploration and mining to map conductive ore bodies by injecting current directly into them, revealing continuity and shape at surface.

A surficial magnetometer survey was conducted on the same grid as the MALM survey and detected a magnetic anomaly coincident with the MALM anomaly indicating that the zone is both magnetic and electromagnetic (Fig 2).  These properties will make it easier to trace the zone on surface with traditional surface geophysical techniques.

Hole CG-25-02 is collared about 200m to the northwest to intersect the same zone at about 200-meter vertical depth.

An additional 1000m (2 holes) have been scheduled for Southwest Carnegie Township.

The program is being carried out on lands recently transferred to Canada Nickel but on which Noble retains a 5-year Exploration Right for volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization and precious metals.

Vance White, President and CEO of Noble, said "We are very pleased to get this program started with the support of our partners at 11530313 Canada Inc. The search for mineralization similar to the Kidd Creek Mine continues."
