PROJECT 81

Lucas Gold Deposit Update

Toronto, Ontario – April 05, 2018 - Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the "Company") (TSX -V:NOB,

FRANKFURT: NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to provide an update on Project 81-Lucas Gold Deposit 2018 Diamond

Drilling Campaign. Noble has completed 15 NQ size d iamond drill holes totalli ng 3,183.93m over approximately 650m

strike length (Figure 1). 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 (1A2 analytical package) and 32 element ICP

analyses (1E3 analytical package). Assay results are pending.

Noble also discovered a total of 37 his torical drillhole collars during this field programme 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 references if required.

The main objectives of the 2018 diamond drilling campaign were three fold:

• Firstly, to locate the Au mineralized 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 Geophysical S urveys. 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 pyrite+/-chert+/-quartz unit.

In order to realize the above objectives , 10 (ten) diamond drill holes were designed to test the attitude, displacement

and strike length of the pyrite+ /-chert+/-quartz mineralized unit, while 5 (five) diamond drill holes were designed to test

the 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, L80-13 and L81-36.

PHASE 2

The next phase of exploration drilling on the Lucas Gold Deposit will focus on determining gold grades within the pyrite+/-

chert+/-quartz zone over the 65 0m established to- date, and to extend by diamond drilling, the strike length of the Au

mineralized pyrite+/-chert+/-quartz unit, along the 1700m EM conductor trend, as well as to define the vertical extension

of the mineralized zone, which is currently open at depth.

Lead-Zinc, Silver and Nickel showings. Noble has confirmed the discovery 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 to be carried out during the 2018 winter exploration season. Additional
