Exploration Update – Crawford Twp. Property

CARDS-Artificial Intelligence (AI) Report

Toronto, Ontario – July 17, 2018 - Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the "Company") (TSX -V:NOB,

FRANKFURT: NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to publish the Artificial Intelligence exploration potential results for the

Crawford Township Property that has been optioned to Spruce Ridge Resources (“Spruce Ridge” TSX-V: SHL). The AI

study has been recently completed by Albert Mining Inc., of Brossard, Quebec using their proprietary Computer Aided

Resources Detection Software (CARDS) “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) Technology and Data Mining Techniques to further

enhance and upgrade the target selection process within Project 81.

“CARDS” is a state of the art computer system that uses the latest artificial intelligence (AI) and pattern recog nition

algorithms to analyse large digital exploration data sets, such as with Project 81, and produce exploration targets.

CARDS uses many layers of gridded data(variables) to learn the “signature” of known mineralized sites (positive cells)

in a given area, which are then scored and cells with high similarity to the “sought signature” are identified.

Project 81, is a 70,000 hectares, under-explored, contiguous land package covering 12 townships just 3km north of the

Kidd Creek Mine. (Figure-1).

The Crawford Township Property (~17,000 hectares - 171.28 Km 2) target objectives were Copper -Zinc and Nickel

targets. The results of the study generated eleven (11) Cu-Zn targets that show 80%+ similarity prediction using the

AGEO Cu-Zn Model (Figure 2), and nine (9) Ni targets that show 8 0%+ similarity prediction using the AGEO Ni model

(Figure 3). AGEO (Aggregation of GEO-referenced model) is one of two (2) algorithms used to determine and validate

the accuracy of prediction of the model. The other being the C-Cluster algorithm which is used to compare and validate

predictions generated by the AGEO algorithm

The Study incorporated a total of 2,632 training points that were subjected to evaluation using merged helicopter -borne

Time Domain Electromagnetic (HTEM) and Magnetic surveys completed by Triumph Geophysics in 2017 for Noble

Minerals Exploration Inc., at 25m resolution, together with historical diamond drill hole database compiled by Orix

Geoscience of Toronto, to construct the Cu- Zn and Ni “Predictive Models”. CARDS uses data mining techniques and

pattern recognition algorithms to analyze and compile the exploration data into many layers of gridded variables, in order

to identify target zones with high statistical similarity to known areas of mineralization.

Noble Mineral’s Project 81 is located within the Kidd-Munro assemblage of the western Abitibi Subprovince in Ontario,

and is one of the largest ultramafic-rich volcanic successions of any age in the world and it hosts the giant Kidd Creek

VMS deposit, an important example of bimodal-mafic (ultramafic) volcanic-associated massive sulphide (VMS) deposits.

About Albert Mining Inc.:

Albert Mining is a junior mining exploration company using Artificial Intelligence (AI) with an extensive portfolio of gold,

copper, and diamond properties in Quebec. Albert Mining also recently acquired all assets from DIAGNOS Inc.'s mining

division, including the Computer Aided Resources Detection System ("CARDS"). Albert Mining can count on a

multidisciplinary team that includes professionals in geophysics, geology, Artificial Intelligence, and mathematics. The

Company's objective is to develop a new royalty stream by significantly enhancing and participating in the exploration

success rate of mining

About Spruce Ridge Resources

Spruce Ridge holds a 100% interest in the Great Burnt Copper/Gold Property in Central Newfoundland which covers a

series of copper ± gold rich VMS deposits. The Property is host to NI 43- 101 compliant mineral resources , including

Indicated Resources of 442,000 tonnes at 2.50% Cu (24.4 million lbs of contained Cu) plus Inferred Resources of

829,000 tonnes at 2.11% Cu (38.5 million lbs of contained Cu) at a 1.0% Cu cut -off at the Great Burnt Copper

Deposit. The NI 43-101 and 43-101F1 Report prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc., is dated September 8, 2015

and is filed on SEDAR. Spruce Ridge optioned its Viking/Kramer gold properties in Western Newfoundland to Anaconda

tailings with low grade gold and silver from the Drumlummon Mine in Montana.

About Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.:

Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. is a Canadian based junior exploration company which, apart from its shareholdings in

MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. and its interest in the Wawa-Holdsworth gold exploration property in Wawa, Ontario,

has as its flag ship program Project 81, a contiguous land package of approximately ~70,000 hectares covering 12

townships immediately north of the Kidd Creek Mine (c elebrating its 51st year of operation). Project 81 which has seen

very limited mineral exploration over the last 50 years and has had a number of historical drill indicated Gold, Copper,

Lead-Zinc, Silver and Nickel showings. Noble has confirmed the discov ery of a very large, low grade Nickel -Cobalt

Deposit in Kingsmill Township in 2012, which is within the project area. The Lucas Gold showing was also drill tested by

Noble in 2012 with additional follow up drilling carried out during the 2018 winter explor ation season. Additional
