(TheNewswire)

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 5050 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%.  

A Mise à la masse (MALM) survey was competed down hole in the anomalous section.  Mise-a-la-Masse (MALM survey) is a downhole geophysical technique used in exploration and mining to map conductive ore bodies by injecting current directly into them, revealing continuity and shape at surface.

Hole CG-25-02 is collared about 200m to the northwest to intersect the same zone at about 200-meter vertical depth.

An additional 1000m (2 holes) have been scheduled for Southwest Carnegie Township.

The program is being carried out on lands recently transferred to Canada Nickel but on which Noble retains a 5-year Exploration Right for volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization and precious metals.

Vance White, President and CEO of Noble, said ‘We are very pleased to get this program started with the support of our partners at 11530313 Canada Inc. The search for mineralization similar to the Kidd Creek Mine continues.’

–Drilling Success Continues at Trapper North: 4 out of 4 Drill Holes Confirm High-Grade Titanium, Vanadium and Iron Mineralization–

Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery, is pleased to announce the assay results for two (2) additional diamond drill holes (R-0010 and R-0011) from the Company’s Q4 2025 Phase of the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) drill program in Trapper North at the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project, located near the port of Cartwright in Labrador, Canada.

Trapper North Assay Highlights

• Analytical results have now been obtained for all four (4) diamond drill holes in Trapper North Zone and constitute four (4) of eight (8) drill holes completed during the Q4 2025 Phase of the MRE drill program.
• Analytical results to-date include numerous oxide-rich intercepts, including:
  • R-0010: 135.50 m grading 50.03% Fe₂O₃, 7.87% TiO₂, and 0.352% V₂O₅.
  • R-0011: 95.15 m grading 39.49% Fe₂O₃, 6.49% TiO₂, and 0.220% V₂O₅.
  • R-0009: 87.20 m grading 50.67% Fe₂O₃, 10.15% TiO₂, 0.339% V₂O₅
  • R-0008: 67.60 m grading 46.15% Fe₂O₃, 9.21% TiO₂, 0.311% V₂O₅
• TiO₂ strength:
  • 42.6% of samples > 7% TiO₂ (700 samples majority of which are 2 m)
• V₂O₅ strength:
  • 53.7% of samples > 0.2% V₂O₅ (700 samples majority of which are 2 m)
• Continued consistency and increase in overall oxide concentration in Trapper Vs Hawkeye.

Assay Results from R-0010 and R-0011

• Hole R-0010 (collared at the same location as R-0009 but oriented at 0° azimuth for true width assessment): Intercepted 135.5 meters (from 1.5 m to 137 m) grading 50.028% Fe₂O₃, 7.872% TiO₂, and 0.352% V₂O₅.
• Hole R-0011 (100-meter step-out along strike from R-0009 and R-0010): Intercepted 95.15 meters (from 58.1 m to 153 m) grading 39.49% Fe₂O₃, 6.49% TiO₂, and 0.22% V₂O₅. Additionally, this hole also encountered a 22-meter interval of rhythmically banded oxide, suggesting more persistent layering occurs away from the concentrated mass in the fold nose.

For comparison with the rest of Trapper North, the following table summarizes key intercepts from all four drill holes completed in Q4 2025.

Table 1: Assay results and composites of R-0008, -0009, -0010 and -0011 from Trapper North.

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals, commented: ‘The successful assay results from all four drill holes at Trapper North mark a significant milestone for the Radar Project. These latest intercepts from R-0010 and R-0011 confirm the continuity of high-grade mineralization along the northern limb. This structurally related increase in thickness boosts Trapper as a standout zone with tremendous potential for titanium, vanadium, and iron mineral resources, advancing our goal of establishing a strategic North American supply of critical minerals.’

Trapper North Drill Hole Details and Geological Insights

Hole R-0010 was collared at the same location as R-0009 but re-oriented to a 0-degree azimuth (compared to the standard 38 degrees) in order to test the northern limb of the Trapper North Fold. Both holes maintained a -45-degree dip. This allowed the team to drill directly through the anomaly and oxide layering at an optimal angle, enabling precise correlation of structural data between R-0009 and R-0010 while clearly defining the northern contact and limits of the oxide layer.

Hole R-0011, drilled as a 100-meter step-out along strike from R-0009 and R-0010, successfully tracked the continuation of the semi-massive oxide layer that is particularly abundant through the nose of the fold. Notably, it also intercepted a 22-meter interval of rhythmically banded oxide. This zone provides an outstanding window into the deposit, featuring exceptionally high VTM content.

Additionally, deeper oxide layering in R-0011, appeared to shallow toward the northeast—an intriguing observation that could indicate a potential at-depth connection between the Trapper and Hawkeye zones, further supporting the theory that this section of the property is one large lopolith. While this remains theoretical at present, the team intends to test the concept with future drilling once additional data increases confidence in its likelihood.

Mineral Resource Estimate Focus

The drilling in Q4 2025 at Trapper North forms part of the Company’s broader strategy to advance toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Radar Project. The economic target is the large, continuous sections of oxide mineralization (semi-massive to massive VTM and ilmenite layers) that demonstrate consistent and exceptional grades in titanium, vanadium, and iron—critical minerals for North American supply security needed in defense, aerospace, renewable energy, and steel production.

Drilling these extensive oxide zones provides essential data on grade, thickness, continuity, and geometry, enabling the definition of a robust resource. The exceptional results from Trapper North validate the priority of targeting these enriched structural features. The rhythmic banding seen in drill hole R-0011 and in Trapper South to-date adds to the overall consistency and exceptional mineralization across the entire Trapper Zone. These elements inform the ongoing 2026 drill campaign, designed to systematically grid and delineate these zones across the Trapper Zone for increased resource confidence.

Next Steps at the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project

Personnel and teams have started to arrive in Cartwright, Labrador, and drilling will commence shortly.

The initial focus for the 2026 Radar Project drill program will be in the southern section of the Trapper Zone, also known as ‘Trapper South.’ SAGA’s geological team and Gladiator’s drill crews will take advantage of the extensive trail network created in the summer of 2025, allowing for an easy traverse for snowmobiles and the excavator used to move the drill. Drilling will begin at the southeastern extent of Trapper South, targeting approximately 30 holes (7,500 m). The program will then advance hole by hole back toward Trapper North, positioning the team to complete the remainder of the MRE drill campaign by spring.

Figure 4: Trapper Zone map outlining location of the initial 2026 focus for remainder of the MRE drill program to be completed in 2026 showing the TMI of the 2025 Trapper Zone ground magnetic survey Drilling will commence in Trapper Zone and move to Trapper North.

About Radar Property

The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (~160 km²), a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralization open for expansion.

The Property is well serviced by road access and is conveniently located near the town of Cartwright, Labrador. A compilation of historical aeromagnetic anomalies is overlaid by ground-based geophysics, as shown.

Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (‘VTM’) mineralization at Radar is comparable to global Fe–Ti–V systems such as Panzhihua (China), Bushveld (South Africa), and Tellnes (Norway), positioning the Project as a potential strategic future supplier of titanium, vanadium, and iron to North American markets.
