Noble Minerals Receives an Ontario Junior Exploration Program

(OJEP) Grant for the Kidd2/Carnegie Project Near Timmins, Ontario

Toronto, Ontario – July 18, 2023 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:NOB,

FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) is pleased to report that the Ontario Government has granted Noble an OJEP

grant for a diamond drill program on the Kidd2/Carnegie Project near Timmins Ontario.

 The OJEP program provides grants of up to $200,000 to promote the exploration of Critical Minerals in Ontario

 Noble Minerals in a joint venture with 11530313 Canada Inc. plans to spend $600,000 (approximately 3,500 meters

of drilling) on the current drill program approximately 2,000 meters north of the prolific Kidd Creek Mine.

 Research by the Noble staff and a recent geophysical survey (including Induced Polarization) has identified excellent

drill targets on Noble held ground.

 The Kidd2/Carnegie project is devoted to finding the extension of the Kidd Creek mineralization.

 The primary target of the drill program will be a chargeability anomaly located within the Noble Project Area.

Kidd2/Carnegie Project

The Kidd2/Carnegie Project consists of a group of patented and staked mining claims in the vicinity of the Kidd Creek

Mine and 24 km north of Timmins Ontario. The Kidd deposit is one of the largest volcanogenic massive sulfide ore

deposits in the world, and one of the world’s largest base metal deposits and lies within the Abitibi greenstone belt

and is presently owned by Glencore.

Exploration of this area in the past has been hindered by small land packages owned by various companies . Over

the years, Noble has been successful in assembling one of the largest land inventories in the vicinity of the Kidd

Creek Mine.

Noble Minerals has completed strategic Induced Polarization surveys within 2 km of the Kidd Creek open pit on the

Fly Creek Rhyolite. The target of the program is rhyolite intercalated with ultramafic rocks on an anticlinal structure.

It is postulated that these rhyolites are the s ame age as the Kidd Creek mineralized rhyolites . Bleeker (1999)*

proposed that faults that slice through the Kidd Creek mine fold have displaced the northern limb of the Kidd Creek

Mine fold up to 2 km to the north and are interpreted to be time-stratigraphic equivalent. (See Figure 1).

In addition, the Fly Creek Rhyolite may be the faulted extension of the Chance Rhyolite where several Texas Gulf

drill holes intersected lead, zinc and silver mineralization.

To the west, Noble has used Induced Polarization to investigate a property that lies within 600 meters and on strike

with the Chance mineralization. This stratigraphic horizon also runs through the Kidd Creek Mine.

Drill Program

The primary target of the drill program will be a chargeability anomaly located within the Noble Project Area on Figure

1 and located about 2000 meters north of the Kidd Creek Mine. Figure 2 is a plan showing the location of the

chargeability anomaly and proposed drill holes . Figure 3 is a pseudo-section with the corresponding resistivity and

metal factor.

Vance White, President and CEO of Noble, said “We are very pleased to get this program

started with the support of the OJEP grant and our partners 11530313 Canada Inc. Drilling will

be underway in the very near term.”
