Noble Reports on Canada Nickel's Continued Exploration Success at MacDiarmid, Provides Exploration Update

(TheNewswire)

Highlights

  • Five holes testing central region at MacDiarmid yielded muti-hundred metre intervals including 0.25% nickel over 363 metres in hole MAC 25-09.

  • New exploration phase to commence July 14 at Midlothian

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).
