Toronto, Ontario - TheNewswire - March 11, 2021 - Noble Mineral ExplorationInc. ( “Noble” or the “Company” )(TSXV:NOB ) ( FRANKFURT:NB7 ) ( OTC:NLPXF) is pleased to provide an update on the 2020 Diamond Drilling Campaign on Project 81-Dargavel Gold Trend (Figure 1, Figure 2). NOB completed 6 NQ sizediamond drill hole totalling 1390.5m resulting in 822 core samples(Table 1) being sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd (Actlabs) inTimmins, Ontario for Au, Ag, Pt, Pd and 32 element ICP analysis. Thelate release of these results was all due to the late receipt of thefinal results from Actlabs.
The objective of the drilling campaign was to duplicateand expand on gold, platinum and palladium results published inhistorical drill hole (25013) drilled in the 1960 by CANICO and drillhole (K84-03) drilled the 1980’s by Chevron Canada Resources Ltd.The 2020 program found anomalous Au values but not with the samewidths or grade as the historical. Uncertainty on the precise locationof the historical drilling may be at fault. However, the programestablished that the Dargavel Gold Trend might be much larger andcontinuous than originally thought. (Tables 2 & 3).

3D geological modelling and 3D magnetic inversionstudies have indicated that the mineralization to the SE of drillholes DAR 20-01 to DAR 20-03 is very prospective and that the currentdrill holes need to be deepened.
DAR 20-01 returned 0.73g/t Au over 3.05m in asemi-massive sulphide, hosted by an altered tuffaceous unit.
DAR 20-03 returned 0.64 g/t Au over 4.10m, including1.45g/t Au over 1.5m in a brecciated tuffaceous unit.
DAR 20-05 which returned 0.67g/t Au over 18.0m and acombined 3.65g/t Au+Pt+Pd over 1.5m in a sulphide rich, altered maficintrusive unit, and is a completely new discovery that targeted aninterpreted fold nose previously not tested. This discovery ties inthe historical mineralization to the NW to that in the SE.
DAR 20-06 which returned 0.52g/t Au over 19.8m, and2.41g/t Au over 1.5m in a tuffaceous unit ended in mineralization andNOB believes that this hole needs to be deepened. NOB also believesthat this was the top of a larger gold mineralized alterationzone.
