Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. announced that drilling has commenced on a 500-meter hole in Carnegie Township near Timmins, Ontario, as part of a partnership with 11530313 Canada Inc. The program includes two 500-meter holes designed to follow up on 2019 drilling, with recent analysis suggesting previous conductors may have been missed. Additional downhole geophysics will be conducted on the new holes to better assess mineral potential.
The significance of this drilling initiative lies in its targeting of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization and precious metals on lands where Noble retains a 5-year Exploration Right, despite recent transfer to Canada Nickel. According to President and CEO Vance White, the program continues "the search for mineralization similar to the Kidd Creek Mine," referencing one of Canada's most significant base metal deposits. The technical content was reviewed by independent Qualified Person Wayne Holmstead, P.Geo., ensuring compliance with National Instrument 43-101 standards.
An additional 1,000 meters of drilling comprising two holes has been scheduled for Southwest Carnegie Township in early 2026, delayed until after freeze-up due to swampy conditions at the proposed site. This phased approach demonstrates strategic planning around environmental constraints while maintaining exploration momentum. The program represents ongoing investment in the Timmins mining camp, one of Canada's most prolific mineral districts.
The company maintains extensive mineral holdings across Northern Ontario, Quebec, and Labrador, with Project 81 in the Timmins-Cochrane area hosting diversified exploration targets.

The drilling program's commencement signals continued confidence in the region's mineral potential despite challenging market conditions for junior exploration companies.
