Toronto, Ontario — January 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. has announced the results from the first drill hole in Carnegie Township near Timmins, Ontario. The hole, CG-25-01, revealed a 6.5-meter section that analyzed 0.64% zinc, along with anomalous values of copper, silver, and lead from 141.0 to 147.5 meters downhole. Within that section, a 1-meter interval graded 1.90% zinc.
The drill program is part of a 50/50 partnership with 11530313 Canada Inc. It includes two 500-meter holes to follow up on drilling done in 2019. Recent downhole geophysics analysis from that prior program indicated that conductors may have been missed.
Downhole geophysics has been conducted on the new hole, CG-25-01. However, heavy snowfall and extreme low temperatures have hampered the drilling progress.
The anomalous mineralization was found within a weakly laminated sulphide-rich graphitic sediment. The mineralization consisted of about 5% pyrrhotite, with concentrations locally reaching 10-15%.
A Mise à la masse (MALM) survey was completed downhole in the anomalous section. The MALM survey is a downhole geophysical technique that maps conductive ore bodies by injecting current directly into them. This reveals continuity and shape at the surface.
A surficial magnetometer survey, conducted on the same grid as the MALM survey, detected a magnetic anomaly coincident with the MALM anomaly. This indicates the zone is both magnetic and electromagnetic, which will make it easier to trace on the surface using traditional geophysical techniques.
Hole CG-25-02 is collared approximately 200 meters to the northwest to intersect the same zone at about 200-meter vertical depth.
An additional 1000 meters (2 holes) have been scheduled for Southwest Carnegie Township. The program is taking place on lands recently transferred to Canada Nickel, where Noble retains a 5-year Exploration Right for volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization and precious metals.
Noble’s President and CEO Vance White said the company is pleased to have the support of its partners at 11530313 Canada Inc. and that the search for mineralization similar to the Kidd Creek Mine continues.
