2018 Winter Drilling Program – Assay Results
Toronto, Ontario – June 27, 2018 - Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the "Company") (TSX -V:NOB,
FRANKFURT: NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to finally announce the Final Assay Results from the 2018 Winter
Diamond Drill Program. Noble completed 15 NQ size diamond drill holes totalling 3,183.93m covering approximately
650m strike length (Figure 1) of the 1700m Gold Mineralized structure/trend id entified from Airborne EM and Mag
Surveys. The entire core length was sawed in half, sampled, and 3,422 half core samples were submitted to Activation
Laboratories (Actlabs) in Timmins for Gold Fire Assay with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish - (1A2 analytical package)
and 32 element ICP analyses (1E3 analytical package). Au results greater than 5000 ppb were re-assayed for gold with
a Gravimetric Finish (1A3 Analytical Package). Samples greater than 10g/t Au were further analysed by a metallic screen
(coarse gold) analytical method (1A4-500 Analytical Package).
Noble also discovered a total of 37 his torical drillhole collars (Figure 2) during this field program using a CST/Berger
Magna-Trak (MT200) LCD metal locator unit. All drill collars were surveyed using SXBlue II+GPS unit which has an
accuracy of 30-60cm. All drill collars were sealed and flagged for future reference if required.
The main objectives of the 2018 diamond drilling campaign were three fold:
• Firstly, to locate the Au mineralized Tuff+/-Pyrite+/-Chert+/-Quartz unit described in the historical drilling and to
trace it along strike for approximately 65 0m of the 1700m strike length as interpreted from Airborne EM and
MAG Surveys.
• Secondly, to determine the attitude and displacement of this mineralized unit with respect to the extensive
faulting and displacement interpreted from historical drilling and Airborne Geophysic al Surveys. Noble
discovered additional shallow angle sub-horizontal faulting and displacement within this unit, and
• Thirdly, to determine the controls of the gold mineralizing mechanism/events, gold grade, and gold distribution
within the mineralized tuff+/-pyrite+/-chert+/-quartz unit.
In order to realize the above objectives , 9 (nine) diamond drill holes , namely LUC 18-07,08,09,10,&12, and LUC 18-
15,16,17 & 18 were designed to test geology, attitude, faulting, structural displacement and the strike length of the
mineralized tuff+/ -pyrite+/-chert+/-quartz mineralized unit, while 6 (five) diamond drill holes namely LUC 18-
11,13,14,19,20 & 21) were designed to test for gold grades, gold mineralized thicknesses and the structural controls of
the gold mineralizing mechanism/event . In so doing, a number of the historical drill holes were twined specifically
historical drill holes L80-04 with LUC 18-21, L80-13 with LUC18-19 and L81-36 with LUC 18-20 – see Table 1and Figure
3 to Figure 8.
Interpretation:
Noble exploration team has interpreted the Au mineralization within the mineralized tuff+/+pyrite+/ -chert+/-
quartz to occur as discrete “eye shaped lens like openings”, analogous to “rounds” of a ladder stacked within
the mineralized unit. The initial pyrite alteration of the tuff unit made it very brittle and the subsequent extensive
regional ductile deformation and shearing within the general area caused this brittle mineralized tuff unit to
develop multiple “Griffiths Cracks” oblique to the general shearing direction s. These eye shaped lens like

Griffiths Cracks openings were subsequently infilled with gold, pyrite, chert and/or quartz and facilitated the
concentrating of gold within these structural “cracks”. Wider spread gold mineralization and concentration also
occurred within the larger mineralized tuff u nit that were being altered during this contemporaneous
mineralizing event. Drilling for gold grades and gold mineralized intercepts in the Lucas Gold Project is very
sensitive to drill hole dip angle.
