NOBEL WITHDRAWS FROM OPTION TO ACQUIRE THE PIRCAS VERDES PROJECT IN CHILE

TORONTO, ONTARIO October 10, 2023 – Nobel Resources Corp. (TSX–V: NBLC; OTCQB: NBTRF) (th e

“Company” or “Nobel”) has withdrawn from its option to acquire the Pircas Verdes project (the “Project”)

in Chile pursuant to the terms of the Pircas Verdes option agreement (see the Company’s November 18,

2022 press release for further details).

As reported by Nobel on June 21, 2023, during the surface mapping at Pircas Verdes 7 samples from different

pulses of intrusive rocks were collected and analyzed for age dating. The objective of this work was to

determine when the various intrusive pulses mapp ed on the Project were emplaced and determine if the

intrusive phases were related to the Miocene porphyry belt. Miocene age rocks host several world class

porphyry deposits in Chile. More specifically, the Pelambres and Pachon deposits that have 2,125 mton

@0.64% CuT / 180ppm Mo and 3,300mton @0.47% CuT respectively occur within 20 kilometers of the Pircas

Verdes property.

Results obtained from the age dating indicate that the emplacement time of the different granite porphyry

pulses at Pircas Verdes fluctuated between 68.5 and 79 million years ago, corresponding to the Cretaceous

period and not the Miocene which is the age of the major deposits in the area. The rocks surrounding the

Pelambres mine also belong to the Cretaceous period, however, the miner alization occurs in the Miocene

intrusive pulses outcropping in the mine.

Although it is possible that porphyry style mineralization can be found on the Project, the Cretaceous

systems are characterized by lower tonnage and are less likely to achieve dim ensions required for a large-

scale commercial operation.

According to Vern Arseneau, COO of Nobel, “The Pircas Verdes property hosts alteration zones and copper

mineralization in outcrops at various locations. Had the age date corresponded to the major M iocene

mineralizing event this prospect would have been highly compelling.”

Nobel is currently evaluating opportunities in an effort to reactivate its business and build shareholder value.
