Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - January 19, 2026 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( “Noble” or the “Company” ) (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) is pleased to announce the results of the first hole drilled in Carnegie Township near Timmins, Ontario, Canada. The drill program is part of a 50/50 partnership with Canada 11530313 Canada Inc. and will include two 500-meter holes that have been located to follow up on drilling done in 2019. Recent analysis of downhole geophysics from that program indicated that conductors may have been missed and additional down hole geophysics has been done on the new hole (Figure 1). Heavy snowfall and extreme low temperatures have hampered the drilling but the first hole is now complete, analyses received and down hole surveying done. In drill hole CG-25-01, a 6.5m section analyzed 0.64% zinc with associated, anomalous values in copper, silver and lead from 141.0 to 147.5 meters down hole (true width not known at this time). A 1-meter section within the wider section was found to run 1.90% zinc. The anomalous mineralization was found to occur in a weakly laminated sulphide rich graphitic sediment. Mineralization consisted of about 5% pyrrhotite, with local concentrations of up to 10-15%.
