Noble Commissioned Airborne EM/MAG
Geophysical Survey over
Carnegie and Crawford Townships
Toronto, Ontario – May 8, 2017 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( “Noble” or the
“Company”) (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to announce that,
it has entered into a contract with Balch Exploration Consulting Inc (“BECI”) to carry out a ~2100
Line Kilometre helicopter airborne EM and Mag Survey over Carnegie and Crawford Townships
–the completion of this Airborne Geophysical Survey over these two southern townships namely
Carnegie and Crawford will provide Noble with a complete and a comprehensive Modern
Geophysical dataset coverage over the entire ~70,000 Hectares Project 81 P roperty that were
staked and acquired from Abitibi Forest Products (now Resolute Forest Products) in 2011.
Project “81” lies immediately north of this world class VMS Deposit – The Kidd Creek Mine, which
is currently celebrating its 50th continuous year of production.
The completion of this survey on these 2 southern townships, will provide Noble with a
comprehensive and complete Modern Airborne Geophysical data coverage of the entire Project
81 Property in order to properly evaluate this very large, c ontiguous land package immediately
north of the Kidd Creek VMS deposit.
Noble completed an EM and MAG Airborne Geophysical Survey over the northern 8 townships in
2012.
BECI’s HTEM (Time Domain) EM System is a modular and rigid helicopter time domain
electromagnetic system (HTEM) designed for mineral exploration, geologic and groundwater
mapping and geotechnical applications HTEM features a scalable and powerful transmitter with
a maximum 450 A current pulse that produces effective dipole moments ranging from 100,000 (6
m diameter) to 410,000 Am 2 (15 m diameter) and exploration depths to 500 m and more. Each
system is light and portable relative to its size.
HTEM is controlled by an electronics module known as the TDS -2400 (Time Domain System)
that is designed to draw power from the helicopter generator (to a maximum of 85 A @ 28 VDC
or 2.4 kW). The TDS -2400 features an efficient power booster circuit that continuously charges
the transmitter driver located on the airframe through a series of voltage set tings to a maximum
448 V. Maximum transmitter current is 450 A.
HTEM features a fully programmable base frequency and duty cycle, both which can be changed
during the survey. In a typical application where the ground conductance is unknown the operator
can fly specified test lines at different base frequencies to optimize the signal to noise ratio of the
system based on the actual measured Earth response within the survey area.

HTEM is manufactured from high-strength structural fiberglass components. These components
are non -magnetic, non -conductive, water resistant and ultraviolet light (UV) protected. The
modular nature of the airframe makes assembly, disassembly and field repairs quick and simple.
Vance White, Noble’s President and CEO commented: “We’re pleased to get this survey
underway as this survey together with a proposed Airborne Gravity Gradiometer Survey over the
entire ~70,000 Hectare Project 81 Area will provide us with multiple target s in addition to those
drill ready targets already identified in the northern 8 townships. Noble believes that VMS deposits
of the Kidd Creek Type occur in clusters.”
