Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. Announces Phase 2 Summer Exploration Programs on Quebec Critical Minerals Projects

Executive Summary

• Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. announced the next phase of its 2026 summer exploration season, focusing on surface exploration programs at its Chapiteau REE Property in Labrador and Mehmet REE Property in Quebec.
• The Chapiteau property sits in a highly prospective REE district near major deposits, featuring historical geochemical assays up to 8.34% TREO and a single historical drill hole averaging 0.14% TREO + Y₂O₃.
• The Mehmet property is classified as a hyperalkaline rare-metals showing with significant geochemical values, highlighting its potential for critical minerals used in EVs, wind turbines, and defense technologies.

Key Details

• Exploration Schedule & Logistics: Surface exploration programs planned for the last week of June and first week of July 2026, utilizing helicopter support from Canadian Helicopters out of Goose Bay, Labrador.
• Chapiteau REE Property (Labrador):
• Located ~100 km south of Strange Lake REE deposits and 38 km northeast of Crater Lake Scandium-REE resource.
• Tenure consists of 25 map-staked units in one group and 18 map-staked units ~15 km east.
• Historical airborne survey by Midland Exploration (2010-2011) covered >3,100 line-km over a ~9 km diameter alkaline granite complex.
• Historical grab samples returned up to 8.34% TREO, with heavy rare earth enrichment (HREO) ranging from 2.29% to 12.85%. Noble's staked area contains 6 grab samples exceeding 0.5% TREO (1.4% to 3.02% TREO).
• Historical Drill Hole Y3-11-04 (CP North showing) intersected coarse-grained alkaline granite with disseminated iron oxides and amphiboles, averaging ~0.14% TREO + Y₂O₃. Key intervals: 0.13% TREO + Y₂O₃ over 7.5 m; 0.14% TREO + Y₂O₃ over 12.0 m; 0.16% TREO + Y₂O₃ over 7.5 m.
• Mehmet REE Property (Quebec):
• Classified by Quebec's SIGÉOM database as a hyperalkaline rare-metals showing, a geological environment hosting REEs, niobium, zirconium, tantalum, and uranium.
• Single assay sample returned 2,157.1 ppm REEs, including 550 ppm Neodymium, 623 ppm Lanthanum, 483 ppm Fluorine, and 1,027.3 ppm Cerium.
• Technical Verification: Data verified by Wayne Holmstead, Quebec P.Geo. #10434, a "qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101.

Notable Quotes

• H. Vance White, President & CEO: “we are pleased to get this program underway in order to determine the expected follow up programs later this summer and early fall.”
