Project 81 Exploration Update Dargavel Gold Target Drilling Results

(TheNewswire)



Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( "Noble" or the "Company" ) (TSXV:NOB ) ( FRANKFURT:NB7 ) ( OTC:NLPXF) is pleased to provide an update on the 2020 Diamond Drilling Campaign on Project 81- Dargavel Gold Trend (Figure 1, Figure 2). NOB completed 6 NQ size diamond drill hole totalling 1390.5m resulting in 822 core samples (Table 1) being sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd (Actlabs) in Timmins, Ontario for Au, Ag, Pt, Pd and 32 element ICP analysis. The late release of these results was all due to the late receipt of the final results from Actlabs

The objective of the drilling campaign was to duplicate and expand on gold, platinum and palladium results published in historical drill hole (25013) drilled in the 1960 by CANICO and drill hole (K84-03) drilled the 1980's by Chevron Canada Resources Ltd. The 2020 program found anomalous Au values but not with the same widths or grade as the historical. Uncertainty on the precise location of the historical drilling may be at fault. However, the program established that the Dargavel Gold Trend might be much larger and continuous than originally thought. (Tables 2 & 3).

3D geological modelling and 3D magnetic inversion studies have indicated that the mineralization to the SE of drill holes DAR 20-01 to DAR 20-03 is very prospective and that the current drill holes need to be deepened.

DAR 20-01 returned 0.73g/t Au over 3.05m in a semi-massive sulphide, hosted by an altered tuffaceous unit.

DAR 20-03 returned 0.64 g/t Au over 4.10m, including 1.45g/t Au over 1.5m in a brecciated tuffaceous unit.

DAR 20-05 which returned 0.67g/t Au over 18.0m and a combined 3.65g/t Au+Pt+Pd over 1.5m in a sulphide rich, altered mafic intrusive unit, and is a completely new discovery that targeted an interpreted fold nose previously not tested. This discovery ties in the historical mineralization to the NW to that in the SE.

DAR 20-06 which returned 0.52g/t Au over 19.8m, and 2.41g/t Au over 1.5m in a tuffaceous unit ended in mineralization and NOB believes that this hole needs to be deepened. NOB also believes that this was the top of a larger gold mineralized alteration zone.

ASX Cobalt Stocks: 4 Biggest Companies in 2024

Strong electric vehicle (EV) sales have been driving up demand for key battery raw materials in recent years. EVs require lithium-ion batteries to run, and each battery could contain up to 15 kilograms of cobalt.

This means that as demand for EVs increases, so too will demand for cobalt — and, as one of the top four cobalt-producing countries in the world, Australia finds itself in a position to capitalise on this demand.

About 74 percent of global cobalt output comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). However, Australia is proving to be a solid contender; though it is only responsible for 2 percent of the world’s cobalt production, it holds about 15.5 percent of global reserves. Moreover, while the DRC’s labour and mining practices have often been labeled unethical and unsustainable, Australian miners are focused on safer, more environmentally friendly practices.

Cobalt Price Recovery Uncertain as Battery Chemistry Shifts Erode Demand

Cobalt market watchers are warning that a near-term resurgence in prices and demand may not occur.

Cobalt prices have spent most of 2024 on the decline, falling to lows not seen since 2016. Values for the electric vehicle (EV) battery metal have fallen 74 percent from highs set in 2022 (US$81,969.70 per metric ton).

Prices are now sitting at the US$23,383.80 per metric ton level, an eight year low.

Top 10 Cobalt Producers by Country (Updated 2024)

Battery metal cobalt has been in focus in recent years for its role in lithium-ion batteries, bringing attention to the top cobalt producing countries.

One of the metal’s main catalysts is the electric vehicle roll out. The lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles and energy storage require lithium, graphite and cobalt, among other raw materials, and demand for these important commodities is expected to keep rising as the shift toward clean technologies continues at a global scale.

Additionally, the metal is predominantly produced as a by-product of copper and nickel, two other metals that are important for the green transition.

However, supply growth in many of the battery metals has out scaled near-term demand, leading to a price pullback over the last two years. The cobalt market has trended downwards in 2024, with prices falling 10 percent from July to September.

Cobalt Market Update: Q3 2024 in Review

A contraction continued in the cobalt market during the year's third quarter, with metal values falling from US$27,151.50 per metric ton (MT) on July 1 to US$24,299 by the end of September.

The 10 percent decline is part of a larger 16.56 percent year-to-date contraction.

“This quarter saw minimal pricing movements as the market experienced a prolonged period of low prices,” said Roman Aubry, cobalt pricing analyst at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
