Noble Mineral highlights Successful Exploration Results
announced by Canada Nickel, including Highest Grade to
Date at Mann West
TORONTO, March 13, 2025 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ("Noble" or the "Company") (TSXV: NOB)
(OTCQB: NLPXF) is pleased to announce successful exploration drilling results from its joint venture
partner Canada Nickel Company Inc. (“Canada Nickel”) (TSXV:CNC) in East Timmins Nickel Ltd. (“East
Timmins Nickel”) a private company operating in the Timmins area of Northern Ontario.
Canada Nickel Company Inc. announced strong results from the Reid, Mann West and Midlothian
properties, its Three Giants. One of its Three Giants, Mann West delivered the highest grade interval within
the property to date with 0.63% nickel over 4.5 metres within 0.40% nickel over 18.0 metres within an overall
mineralized core length of 0.27% nickel over 452 metres, in hole MAN24-79.
Canada Nickel CEO Mark Selby said, “ Our regional exploration program is consistently yielding excellent
outcomes with each of the Three Giants delivering strong drilling results. These targets each have a target
footprint larger than our flagship Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project, underscoring the large- scale potential
of the Timmins Nickel District. We are excited to publish the remaining six resources by mid-2025, bringing
the total to eight regional resources and showcasing the vast scale of nickel resources within the District.”
The Three Giants each have a target footprint larger than CNC’s flagship Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project,
underscoring the large- scale potential of the Timmins Nickel District. Canada Nickel will publish the
remaining six resources by mid- 2025, bringing the total to eight regional resources and showcasing the
vast scale of nickel resources within the District. For full details, drill results and maps, see the news release
published by Canada Nickel, March 12, 2025.
Noble CEO Vance White said, “We congratulate our partner Canada Nickel on the work completed and
results on the Mann Twp property and we are very excited about the prospects for East Timmins Nickel
along the several additional projects to be included.”
Mann Property
The Mann property is located 22 kilometres east of Crawford between Timmins and Cochrane and is 80%
owned by Canada Nickel and 20% by Noble Mineral Exploration. The target consists of four separate
targets, Mann North, Mann West (together formerly Mann Northwest), Mann Central and Mann South. The
CNC release provides an assay update from six holes, three holes at Mann West, and three holes at Mann
South.
Mann West
Mann West is approximately 3.5 kilometres long by up to 1.1 kilometres wide (covering 3.4 square
kilometres). The drill program completed focused on the southern half of the target with drilling completed
over a strike length of 1.7 kilometres and a width of at least 600 metres. All drillholes intersected long
sections of well -serpentinized peridotite and minor dunite with disseminated and visible nickel sulphide
mineralization consisting primarily of pentlandite and heazlewoodite. The Company has drilled a total of 40
holes to date at Mann West with 31 holes drilled during the 2024 program. CNC is currently working on an
initial resource estimate expected by April 2025. Assays from three holes are presented in this release and
a final two holes are awaiting assays. See Table 1 and Figure 1.

Mann South
This target is approximately 5.9 kilometres long by up to 1.2 kilometres wide, having an arcuate and irregular
shape, with an overall area of 4.1 square kilometres. The company drilled 20 holes in 2024 and successfully
intersected varying degrees of serpentinized peridotite and minor pyroxenite. Peridotite shows anomalous
values of PGE in hole MAN24-96. Assays from three holes are presented in this release. See Table 2 and
