( “Noble” or the“Company” ) (TSXV:NOB ) , ( FRANKFURT:NB7 ) , ( OTC:NLPXF) is pleased toannounce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent withInternational Explorers and Prospectors Ltd (“IEP” or “InternationalExplorers”) to acquire an additional 39 miningclaims (the“Claims ” ) in MacDiarmid andLoveland Townships (see Figure 1) that are contiguous to its existingclaims that have been optioned to Canada Nickel Company Inc.

Figure 1. Noble is acquiring 39mining claims from IEP .
NOB and IEP are also establishing a Strategic Allianceto evaluate the extensive land package held by IEP that is nearby andcommonly contiguous to Noble’s Project 81. Noble and IEP would nowshare contiguous boundaries in an area that is 200km by 100km. (seeFigure 2).
Figure 2. Noble and IEP will form alarge contiguous land position near Timmins, Ontario .
The Claims cover volcanic rocks of the Kidd Munroassemblage that have been periodically intruded by Ni-Cu bearing maficto ultramafic intrusions. This assemblage hosts the world’s largestVMS deposit in Kidd Creek approximately 20 km to the east and Ni-Cudeposits such as Enid Creek in Loveland Twp., and the CrawfordNi-Co-Pd deposit in Crawford Twp. The area is thus highly prospectivefor Ni-Cu, Ni-Co+/-Pd, Gold and VMS deposits. Like other prospects inthe Timmins region, the area is covered by thick glacial till andconductive clays (up to 50 m) that hampered earlier explorationefforts.
While historic exploration data is available from theOntario Government, much of it online, IEP has access to unpublishedexploration data that will be of great value in exploring MacDiarmidand Loveland Townships. A Mineral Exploration Research Center-industryconsortium project is currently acquiring high resolution audiomagneto-telluric (AMT) data within parts of this area to betterunderstand the 3D distribution of sulfide-bearing units.
Terms of the Transaction are as set out below:
The transaction is subject to approval of the Board ofDirectors of each party and of the TSX Venture approval, as well ascompliance with securities and other laws and regulations.
Vance White, President and CEO of Noble, said “we areextremely pleased to be able to acquire these assets fromInternational Explorers, and to work with Lionel Bonhomme and his teamat IEP, as this property ties directly onto the MacDiarmid OptionProperty, we have with Canada Nickel in MacDiarmid Township. Further,this strategic relationship is the initial establishment with IEP whoare, as you can see from the attached map, a significant land holderin close and contiguous proximity to Noble’s Project 81 lands, butmore importantly IEP are also in possession of one of the largestexploration data sets of the Timmins camp. I am confident this will bea tremendous relationship.”
