NOB:CC - Noble Mineral highlights Successful Exploration Results announced by Canada Nickel, including Highest Grade to Date at Mann West
(TheNewswire)
TORONTO – TheNewswire- March 13, 2025 – Noble Mineral ExplorationInc. ("Noble" or the"Company") (TSXV: NOB) (OTCQB: NLPXF) is pleased to announcesuccessful exploration drilling results from its joint venture partnerCanada Nickel Company Inc. (“Canada Nickel”) (TSXV:CNC) in EastTimmins Nickel Ltd. (“East Timmins Nickel”) a private companyoperating in the Timmins area of Northern Ontario.
Canada Nickel Company Inc. announced strong resultsfrom the Reid, Mann West and Midlothian properties, its ThreeGiants. One of its Three Giants, Mann West delivered the highestgrade interval within the property to date with 0.63% nickel over 4.5metres within 0.40% nickel over 18.0 metres within an overallmineralized core length of 0.27% nickel over 452 metres, in holeMAN24-79.
Canada Nickel CEO Mark Selby said, “ Our regional exploration program is consistently yieldingexcellent outcomes with each of the Three Giants delivering strongdrilling results. These targets each have a target footprint largerthan our flagship Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project, underscoring thelarge-scale potential of the Timmins Nickel District. We are excitedto publish the remaining six resources by mid-2025, bringing the totalto eight regional resources and showcasing the vast scale of nickelresources within the District.”

For full details, drillresults and maps, see the news release published by Canada Nickel,March 12, 2025.
Noble CEO Vance White said , “Wecongratulate our partner Canada Nickel on the work completed andresults on the Mann Twp property and we are very excited about theprospects for East Timmins Nickel along the several additionalprojects to be included.”
Mann Property
The Mann property is located 22 kilometres east ofCrawford between Timmins and Cochrane and is 80% owned by CanadaNickel and 20% by Noble Mineral Exploration. The target consists offour separate targets, Mann North, Mann West (together formerly MannNorthwest), Mann Central and Mann South. The CNC release provides anassay update from six holes, three holes at Mann West, and three holesat Mann South.
Mann West
Mann West is approximately 3.5 kilometres long by up to1.1 kilometres wide (covering 3.4 square kilometres). The drillprogram completed focused on the southern half of the target withdrilling completed over a strike length of 1.7 kilometres and a widthof at least 600 metres. All drillholes intersected long sections ofwell-serpentinized peridotite and minor dunite with disseminated andvisible nickel sulphide mineralization consisting primarily ofpentlandite and heazlewoodite. The Company has drilled a total of 40holes to date at Mann West with 31 holes drilled during the 2024program. CNC is currently working on an initial resource estimateexpected by April 2025. Assays from three holes are presented in thisrelease and a final two holes are awaiting assays. See Table 1 andFigure 1.

Mann South
This target is approximately 5.9 kilometres long by upto 1.2 kilometres wide, having an arcuate and irregular shape, with anoverall area of 4.1 square kilometres. The company drilled 20 holes in2024 and successfully intersected varying degrees of serpentinizedperidotite and minor pyroxenite. Peridotite shows anomalous values ofPGE in hole MAN24-96. Assays from three holes are presented in thisrelease. See Table 2 and Figure 2.
