Toronto, Ontario – June 8, 2026 – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (“Noble” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the next phase of the 2026 summer exploration season with surface exploration programs planned on its Chapiteau Rare Earth Property, Labrador (“REE”) and the Mehmet Rare Earth Property, Quebec, Canada. This phase will require helicopter support and will take place during the last week in June and the first week of July. Canadian Helicopters out of Goose Bay, Labrador will provide helicopter support for the project.
The Chapiteau Rare Earth Property, Labrador (See Noble Press Release November 25, 2025)
The Chapiteau Rare Earth Property is a recently acquired rare earth element (REE) exploration property owned by Noble in western Labrador. The property was staked in late 2025 and consists of 25 map-staked units in one group and 18 map staked units about 15 km east. They lie in one of Canada’s most prospective rare earth districts, about 100 km south of the Strange Lake REE deposits and 38 km northeast of the Crater Lake Scandium-REE resource.
The property covers part of a large REE-enriched alkaline intrusive system first explored by Midland Exploration during 2010-2011. Midland completed a regional airborne magnetic and radiometric survey totaling more than 3,100 line-km and identified numerous REE targets associated with a large magnetic alkaline granite complex approximately 9 km in diameter. Regional sampling produced exceptionally strong results, including grab samples containing up to 8.34% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO), heavy rare earth enrichment ranging from 2.29% to 12.85% HREO within mineralized samples, high values of cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium, yttrium, dysprosium, and gadolinium oxides. Within the ground now held by Noble, Midland identified six grab samples exceeding 0.5% TREO, ranging from 1.4% to 3.02% TREO.
Only one known drill hole, Y3-11-04, was completed on the property. The hole tested the CP North showing and intersected coarse-grained alkaline granite with disseminated iron oxides and amphiboles. Although grades were modest, the entire hole returned anomalous REE values averaging approximately 0.14% TREO + Y₂O₃, demonstrating a large mineralized system rather than isolated surface occurrences. Some intervals included:
0.13% TREO + Y₂O₃ over 7.5 m
0.14% TREO + Y₂O₃ over 12.0 m
0.16% TREO + Y₂O₃ over 7.5 m
Chapiteau is one of the more compelling early-stage REE acquisitions because it combines high-grade surface geochemistry, favorable alkaline intrusive geology, and proximity to established critical-mineral projects such as Strange Lake and Crater Lake.
Mehmet Rare Earth Property, Quebec (See Noble Press Release November 5, 2025)
The Mehmet Rare Earth Property is an early-stage rare metals and rare earth occurrence located in North-Eastern Quebec. According to Quebec’s SIGÉOM mineral occurrence database, the property is classified as a hyperalkaline rare-metals showing, a type of geological environment that can host rare earth elements (REEs), niobium, zirconium, tantalum, uranium, and other critical minerals commonly associated with alkaline intrusive complexes and carbonatites.
One sample was found to contain a total of 2157.1 ppm rare earth elements including 550 ppm Neodymium, 623 ppm Lanthanum, 483 ppm Fluorine, and 1027. 3 ppm Cerium
These systems are attractive because they can contain large-tonnage critical mineral deposits that are essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, permanent magnets, and advanced defense technologies.
H Vance White President & CEO said ”we are pleased to get this program underway in order to determine the expected follow up programs later this summer and early fall.”
