Nobel Resources Issued Diamond Drill Permits FOR Cuprita Project, Antofagasta Region, Chile

Permits & Approvals

NOBEL RESOURCES ISSUED DIAMOND DRILL PERMITS FOR

CUPRITA PROJECT, ANTOFAGASTA REGION, CHILE

TORONTO, ONTARIO October 21, 2025 – Nobel Resources Corp. (TSX – V: NBLC) (the

“Company” or “Nobel”) is pleased to announce all necessary permits have been received

to commence drilling at Cuprita (the “Project”) as early as November . This will be the first

ever drill campaign at Cuprita. A notice was filed by the Company with the Copiapo office of

Servicio Nacional de Geologia y Minera (SERNAGEOMIN) during the week of Oct 12 th. The

Company intends to move quickly and drill the highly perspective Cuprita project. The first

phase of drilling on C uprita is expected to include diamond drill holes drilled from eight

initial platforms, additional platforms will be added based on results.

About Cuprita

Curprita is a highly prospective copper porphyry project in the Atacama region of northern

Chile. Cuprita is part of the Metallogenic Paleocene Porphyry Copper Belt that hosts several

major porphyry copper deposits such as El Salvador, Cerro Colorado, Spence, Sierra Gorda,

Fortuna, as well as several gold deposits. The Project sits on a very important north-

northeast trending major structur al corridor crosscut by a Northwest trending secondary

structure. This structural setting i s almost identical to the structural setting of the world

class Spence, Sierra Gorda and El Salvador porphyry deposits to the north. Nobel geologists

have identified multiple key geologic characterist ics consistent with a potentially buried

porphyry.

During recent field campaigns, Nobel geologists identified a leach cap at Cuprita with an

associated copper, lead and zinc anomaly in soils. The leach cap and soil anomaly are

located adjacent to a ground magnetic low and are situated near the intersection of a major

north-northeast striking fault structure with numerous northwest striking quartz veins with

copper oxides. Intersecting major faults is a common, if not essential, structural control for

the emplacement of copper-gold porphyries in the region (Figure 1).

The presence of strongly anomalous copper in soil on the flanks of the leach cap is an

important positive indicator supporting the potential for a buried mineralized porphyry

deposit at the Cuprita project. The highest copper in soils values identified to date occur

southeast of the outcropping leach cap (Figure 1) . Much of the soil anomaly exhibits soil

values more 300% above the expected background levels of the area. In addition, the leach

cap and soils anomaly are coincidental with a ground mag netic low (figure 2) which is a

common indicator associated with mineralized systems in the region, where hydrothermal

processes have replaced the magnetic minerals.

The presence of a leach cap at Cuprita is exceptionally encouraging in a regional context.

Leach caps are a key feature of intact porphyry systems in this region (Figure 4, Conceptual

Model). Recirculation of acidic fluids from the buried porphyry below often leave a bleached

or iron oxide “rusty” appearance on surface. The leach cap identified by Nobel geologists

exhibits classic hydrothermal alteration similar to that found above a buried porphyry. The

presence of copper oxides, quartz veins and remanent sulfides indicates potential for

mineralization under the leach cap, which fits the classic geological model for the region.

Geological mapping has also identified a large area of tourmaline breccias covering much

of the target , also considered an additional favorable pathfinder, characteristic of

productive porphyry systems.

Larry Guy, Chaiman and CEO of Nobel, states: “With the field work now completed and drill

permits in hand we are very excited to be the first to drill Cuprita. The classic signature of a

buried porphyry at Cuprita can’t be ignored. We are excited to get the drill turni ng. Nobel’s

outstanding portfolio of additional exploration projects in Chile will be tested in 2026.”
