NOB:CC - Noble Minerals Discovers Rare Earth Mineralization on the Nagagami Project Hearst Ontario

(TheNewswire)

Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - December 5, 2022 – Noble MineralExploration Inc. ( “Noble” orthe “Company” ) (TSXV:NOB ) , ( FRANKFURT:NB7 ) , ( OTC:NLPXF) is pleased toreport the discovery of rare earth mineralization during a recentdrill program on the Nagagami Project northwest of Hearst,Ontario.

  • Anomalous values of rare earth metals encounteredthroughout hole NG-22-02

  • High values of 0.36% Ce and 0.12%Nd

  • 0.53% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) over 4.0metres plus aseparate zone of 0.48% over 11.0 metres*.

  • TREO values above include 0.090% Nd over 4.0 metres* plus 0.087% Nd over11.0 metres*.

Analyses have been received for the Company’sNagagami Project near Hearst, Ontario. A total of 1,302 meters weredrilled in two vertical holes to test the theory that Rare EarthElement (“REE”) and Niobium (“Nb”) mineralization could befound in the Nagagami Carbonatite Complex. The target of the drillingwas a magnetic low in the centre of the Nagagami Complex that isgeologically comparable to niobium- and rare earth-bearing complexesdiscovered and mined elsewhere. The St Honore, (Niobec) Carbonatite inQuebec is such a complex that is mining separate REE- and Nb-bearingzones.

The Nagagami carbonatite complex is not exposed inoutcrop on the property because it is covered by overburden andPaleozoic sediments. That requires geophysical data be used to placethe drill holes.

Although anomalous REE values were encountered in bothholes, the best results were obtained from HoleNG-22-02.:

  • 408.0 to 412.0 metres*, 0.53% Total Rare Earth Oxides(includes 0.090% Nd ) and

  • 417.0 to 427.0 metres*, 0.48 % Total Rare Earths Oxides(includes 0.087% Nd ).

The 5 metre core interval between these twointersections has not been sampled but is expected to generate similarvalues because it consists of the same rock type. That would extendthe mineralization to a core length of 20 metres*. Additional samplingof the 5 metre interval and core elsewhere in the hole is scheduled tobe completed in December.

Total Rare Earth Oxides = Ce 2 O 3 +Dy 2 O 3 +Er 2 O 3 +Eu 2 O 3 +Gd 2 O 3 +Ho 2 O 3 +La 2 O 3 +Lu 2 O 3 +Nd 2 O 3 +Pr 2 O 3 +Sc 2 O 3 +Sm 2 O 3 +Tb 2 O 3 +Tm 2 O 3 +Yb 2 O 3 +Y 2 O 3

This result is a new discovery whichhas not been explored previously. The extent of the zones has not beenestablished at this time, however the company controls about 150km 2 of potentialground.

The best niobium (Nb) intersection was also encountered in Hole NG-22-02 (155 metres below REEvalues):

  • 582 to 587 metres*, 0.05% Niobium (Nb) (150

*true width not known at this time

Although this niobium result was lower thananticipated, geological evidence indicates that carbonatite complexestend to be zoned and the location of REE mineralization does notnecessarily coincide with the Nb-bearing zones. The St Honore depositin Quebec has both a rare earth zone (REE) and a separate niobium (Nb)zone.

Vance White CEO Noble Minerals commented: “We arevery pleased to have found rare earth mineralization in the secondhole of a test drill program.  The potential target area is 150square kilometres, and, to date, we have only explored about 1 squarekilometre. We have a lot of work to do.”

Uses of Rare Earth Minerals

Manufacturing permanent magnets is the largest globaluse of REE’s accounting for 29% of forecasted demand. Chinapresently leads the market by producing 140,000 tonnes of REE’s in2020. This amount accounts for almost 60% of global production. TheGlobal rare earth market is projected to grow from current USD 5.3billion to USD 9.6 billion by 2026.

(“Nd, Pr”) Neodymium and Praseodymium – Power thestrongest types of rare earth magnets which enable the conversion ofelectrical energy into motion via permanent-magnet motors. Permanentmagnets are an essential component of electric vehicles and modernelectronics including, cell phones, televisions, computers, andautomobiles and more robust commercial applications.
