TORONTO TheNewswire - July 8, 2025 Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (" Noble " or the " Company ") (TSXV: NOB) (OTCQB: NLPXF) is pleased to announce additional drilling results from the MacDiarmid Project as announced by Canada Nickel Company Inc. (" Canada Nickel ") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) operating in the Timmins area of Northern Ontario.

 

  Noble CEO Vance White said, "We congratulate Canada Nickel on the work completed and the additional drilling results on the MacDiarmid Twp Project.  It is important to note that Noble retains NSR rights, including a 2% NSR on claims in this project that were acquired by Canada Nickel from Noble, subject to a 50% buyback for $5mm held by Canada Nickel."  

 

  As announced today by Canada Nickel, its   new drilling program has successfully identified further mineralization extending over a strike length of approximately 2,200 metres and a width of about 400 metres. These results build on the initial work completed in the eastern portion of the property in 2021.  

 

  Canada Nickel's CEO, Mark Selby, said, "Our regional exploration program continues to reinforce the strong potential of the Timmins Nickel District   and mark a positive step forward following our earlier drilling at MacDiarmid.   With our recently completed financing, we are set to resume drilling at our Midlothian property the week of July 14   th   .  That same week, we anticipate publishing initial resources for our Mann Central and Texmont properties, adding our fourth and fifth resources in the district. By year-end, we expect to publish three additional resource estimates, bringing the total to nine – including Crawford – and further demonstrating the remarkable scale and opportunity within the Timmins Nickel District."  

 

  MacDiarmid Property  

 

  The MacDiarmid property is located 23 kilometres southwest of Crawford, 27 kilometres northwest of Timmins. The property hosts an arcuate ultramafic body that measures at least 3 kilometres in length and up to 600 metres in width   (covering 1.1 square kilometres or similar in size to the Crawford Main Zone target).  

 

  Drilling in the winter of 2025 focused on the central portion of the target, testing the width and length extension from the boundaries outlined in earlier exploration campaigns during 2021 and 2022. The   drilling intersected predominantly long sections of serpentinized dunite and minor peridotite with disseminated nickel sulphide mineralization consisting primarily of pentlandite and heazlewoodite. Canada Nickel has drilled a total of 12 holes at MacDiarmid, seven of which were drilled during the 2025 campaign (Figure 1). One hole, MAC25-06 targeted an EM (electromagnetic) anomaly located 800 metres north, outside of the main ultramafic body. The drillhole intersected layered metasedimentary units that in some cases contained angular clasts with varying degrees of sulphide mineralization in them but did not yield any meaningful results. MAC25-10, drilled near an interpreted fault, intersecting at depth, a section of felsic volcanics with strong sulphide mineralization. The fault and EM anomalies remain of interest to Canada Nickel and a follow up program will be planned for fall 2025. Assay highlights from all the 2025 drillholes are presented in this release (Table 1).

Vertex Minerals Limited  Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Vertex Minerals Limited Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX,VTXXF) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) is pleased to announce that the underground mining operation is on track to be producing high grade gold feed to the recently commissioned gravity gold plant in the coming weeks.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Operational Milestones

o VTX remains firmly on track to commence production of high-grade ore from the underground mine in the forthcoming weeks.

o Transformer and cabling for the installation of 11kV high voltage underground power system on site with installation commenced.

o Preparations for the underground mine startup up progressing as planned and stripping of the main access is completed.

o New Aramine L350D has departed France for the journey to Hill End. Arrival in Orange NSW expected in by 26th August where it will be fitted with an RCT remote control system for open stoping operations.

o Mining the Reward Gold Mine - Resource 225kozs at 16.7g/t (VTX ASX Announcement 21 June 2023).

o Weekly Gold production Oz's from Stockpiles improving with depth in the stockpiles, with coarser particle size and better process throughput experienced.

- Mine start up

o Fan chambers have been excavated to provide secondary ventilation for production activities, exploration drilling and the future southern access toward the Fosters' exploration target.

o Primary ventilation fan has been installed and bulkhead completed.

o High voltage surface substation has been installed.

o High voltage cabling installation commences next week, with power up of the system scheduled for 28 July 2025.

o Stripping of the main accessis completed with the final elements of ground support (approx. 30m) to be completed before power cable installation starts next week.

o Cable bolts installed for the intersection of Lady Belmore exploration drive with first cut drilled out and ready to charge.

o Development Jumbo #1 (Epiroc T1D) is exceeding performance expectations.

o Dewatered of declines well underway.

o Mine schedule for FY26 finalised.

o First airleg stope secondary vent installed and specialty equipment on site to start first air leg stope.

o First long hole stope planned for August. High grade from airleg and longhole stopes to complement larger tonnage from development ore headings.

- People that have been onboarded

o 2x Drill Fitters and Heavy diesel fitter.

o Process superintendent commences next week.

o Full Tech team started including mine surveyor this week.

o Have back-to-back airleg miners for stoping.

o Full underground and mill crews.

- Improvements to plant

o DSM screen installed to improve product delivery to Wilfley Table.

o Gemini table improvements with new tabletop and gearbox improving final concentrate grade to over 20% gold (suitable for direct smelting to Dore on site).

o Process water pump upgrade improving ore washing and Tomra performance.

- Revised mine plan and schedule completed and ready to implement

- Updated Reward Gold mine mining plan and mine schedule completed.

- Adding a high-grade long hole stope upfront to be mined concurrently with the high grade airleg stope.

Vertex Director Declan Franzmann commented: "It is great to see all the elements of re-developing the underground mine and processing facility coming together so rapidly. The most pleasing aspect is our success in employing an incredible team of people to run the operation and all credit to management for developing great "esprit de corps" and a single sense of purpose as we push to full production."

As previously announced, the startup mine schedule includes mining 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au from a developed airleg stope block. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. (Refer to Table 1 in Appendices 1) (VTX ASX announcement 26/06/23).

Given this stope will take some time to extract, the Vertex geology and Mining Team have additionally brought forward a very high-grade long hole stope to commence mining in August as well. Further optimisations to the mining schedule will continue to be made.

This stope can be exploited as soon as services have been established. The mining crews have done a great job in the access drive to make room for the services (11kV cable, water and air lines) while improving accessibility for the mobile mining equipment selected for the Project.
