Canada Nickel Joint Venture
Highlights
• Drill Program completed on the Mann and Reaume Properties, part of the Noble Minerals-
Canada Nickel Joint Venture (ExploreCo)
• Mann Central Property: Drill results include 223 meters of 0.29% nickel including 10
meters of 0.51% nickel

strike length and 600 meters width
• Reaume Property: Drilling indicated an improved nickel grade
Toronto, Ontario – September 12, 2024 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) is pleased to announce results of a drill
program on a joint venture properties (ExploreCo) north of Timmins Ontario (See Canada Nickel Press
Release dated September 10, 2024).
ExploreCo, the name of which will be announced in due course, will control 1,989 mining claims
totaling approximately 42,000 hectares and will include nickel properties in Mann, Newmarket, and
Reaume Townships as well as Calder, Galna, McCool, Moody, Mortimer, Stimson, and other
properties currently held by Canada Nickel (see Figure 1, ExploreCo properties shown in purple).

Under the binding Letter of Intent between Noble and Canada Nickel , the first $5 million of funding
for ExploreCo will be provided from existing funds by Canada Nickel, after which costs will be funded
by pro rata ownership basis, which will initially be 80% Canada Nickel and 20% Noble. Canada Nickel
and Noble will continue to maintain their existing royalty rights and buyback rights on the ExploreCo
claims, as will previous claim owners who had vended claims to Noble (see NR July 8, 2024).
Mann Property
The Mann property is located 22 kilomet ers east of Crawford, 20 kilomet ers south of Cochrane, and
45 kilometers northeast of Timmins. The property hosts a series of ultramafic rocks that are thought to
be folded and faulted along a near -continuous 21- kilometre strike length. The ultramafic rocks
continue to the southeast into Newmarket Township. The Company is currently conducting a drill
program that has identified targets in four areas within Mann Township, Mann North, Mann West
(together formerly Mann Northwest), Central and South.
Mann Central
The outline of the ultramafic body is estimated by magnetics to be 4.5 kilomet ers long and between
0.5 to 1.0 kilomet ers wide (or 3.1 square kilomet ers). Drilling at this target started in June 2024 and
consisted of an initial exploratory phase that included 24 drillholes totaling 9,311 met ers. This phase
of drilling targeted the ultramafic body where it has a shallow dip to the north and is primarily
composed of peridotite and minor dunite, with some pyroxenite dykes. Serpentinization of the host
rock is m oderate to high, containing fine -grained nickel mineralization, with serpentinization
appearing more consistent near the center of the target where an area 1.9 kilometers by 600 meters (1.1
square kilometers) has now been delineated by drilling. In this area, hole MAN24-21 intersected 223.4
meters averaging 0.29% nickel, including a 10.5 met ers section of 0.51% nickel. A ssays are pending
for the remaining 15 holes.
Mann North
The target is approximately 1.5 kilomet ers long by 600 meters wide (0.9 square kilometres). Drilling
at Mann North began in June 2024 and consisted of a preliminary exploratory phase of 16 drillholes
totaling 6,315 meters. The majority of these holes intersected long sections of peridotite, minor dunite,
and lesser talcose rich ultramafics, with strong serpentinization and good disseminated mineralization
along most of the target strike length.
MAN24-28, was collared near the north end of the target, drilling to the southwest, starting in dunite
at 27 met ers downhole and ending in peridotite at 414 met ers. MAN24 -27 was drilled to test the
northeast contact and intersected 5.9 metres of 0.52 g/t Pt+Pd near a pyroxenite-gabbro contact. Assays
are pending for the 14 remaining holes now completed.
Mann West
Mann West is approximately 3.5 kilomet ers long by up to 1.1 kilomet ers wide (covering 3.4 square
kilometers). The drill program has focused on the southern half of the target and is currently exploring
a strike length of 1.7 kilometer s and a width of at least 600 metres. Drilling thus far has intersected
long sections of well -serpentinized peridotite and minor dunite with disseminated and visible nickel
mineralization consisting primarily of pentlandite and heazlewoodite. The Company has drilled 16
holes to date at Mann West and is halfway through this phase of exploration that is required for an
initial resource estimate expected by Q1 2025. Assays for all the holes at Mann West are currently
pending.
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 drill program at Mann South started
in August and first assay results are not expected until October 2024. Three holes have been completed,
and successfully intersected varying degrees of serpentinized peridotite and minor pyroxenite. The
Company will continue testing the strike length of Mann South into the fall of 2024.
Reaume Property
The Reaume property is located 20 kilomet ers northeast of Crawford, 15 kilomet ers southwest of
Cochrane, and 55 kilometers northeast of Timmins. Prior drill campaigns in 2022 had seasonal access
constraints, however, in June 2024, the Company resumed exploration and intersected a strongly
mineralized portion of the ultramafic body consisting of moderate to strongly serpentinized peridotite
containing spotty, coarse -grained awaruite mineralization in hole REU24 -12. Assay results are
pending on all 5 holes.
