Diamond Drilling Commences at Nobel Resources Cuprita Copper Project, Chile

Exploration Programs

DIAMOND DRILLING COMMENCES AT NOBEL RESOURCES

CUPRITA COPPER PROJECT, CHILE

TORONTO, ONTARIO January 16, 202 6 – Nobel Resources Corp. (TSX – V: NBLC) (the

“Company” or “Nobel”) is pleased to announce diamond drilling has commenced at the

Cuprita copper project, Chile (“Cuprita” or the “Project”). Nobel is conducting the first ever

diamond drill program on this highly prospective Project (Figure 1). Exploration surveys over

the past year by Nobel’s Chilean technical team indicate the Project features key geological

and geophysical characteristics that are associated with mineralized porphyry copper

systems in this region (see news release dated January 7, 2026):

• Located within the Paleocene porphyry copper belt

• Widespread copper mineralization in outcrops (including small scale mines) and

extensive copper geochemistry anomalies

• Presence of an extensive leach cap , commonly associated with porphyry copper

deposits in this region

• Extensive development of tourmaline breccia zones, a common pathfinder for

porphyry copper projects in the region

• IP anomalies and magnetic lows associated with the target area, similar to low-pyrite

porphyry copper deposits in the region

• A structural setting similar to major deposits, including El Salvador, Cerro Colorado,

Spence, Sierra Gorda and Fortuna – northeast structural corridor crosscut by

northwest secondary faults

Larry Guy, Chairman and CEO of Nobel, states: “We are excited to commence 2026 with the

initial diamond drilling campaign of the highly prospective copper porphyry targets at

Cuprita. The work that the Nobel team has done outlines a compelling area with extensive

copper miner alization and associated alteration at surface - with key characteristics

typically associated with mineralized porphyry copper deposits in this region of Chile”.
