TORONTO – May 8, 2026 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NOB) (OTCQB: NLPXF) is pleased to announce the results of its Special Meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) held on May 7, 2026, and agreements with marketing consultants.

Approval of Arrangement and Reduction of Stated Capital

It is currently anticipated that each Noble common share (“Noble Share”) will entitle its holder to receive approximately 0.034 of a common share of Homeland.  The actual distribution ratio of Homeland shares will be confirmed at a later date, based on the number of outstanding common shares of Noble at the record time for the Arrangement (the “Distribution”).

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to court approval and final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. As of the date hereof, the Company anticipates that the Arrangement will be completed as follows:
