Toronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / March 30, 2017 –
Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( “Noble” or the “Company” ) ( TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to announce
that it has signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:
BMK) (“MacDonald Mines”, “MacDonald”) to acquire all of Noble’s interest in the Holdsworth property (the
“Property”), located 25 kilometres northeast of Wawa, Ontario. MacDonald previously entered into an
Option and Joint Venture (“JV”) agreement with Noble on December 7, 2016 to advance exploration on the Holdsworth
property. The LOI supersedes the JV agreement.
LOI Highlights
To acquire a 100% interest in the Holdsworth property, MacDonald Mines agreed under the LOI to:
-
-Issue 5,500,000 MacDonald units, each unit consisting of one Class A common share of MacDonald
and one non-transferable Class A common share purchase warrant of MacDonald exercisable at $0.30 per share for a period of
three years from the date of issuance.
-
-Grant Noble a 1.5% net smelter return royalty (the “NSR”) on the Holdsworth property, with
MacDonald having the right to re-purchase one half of the NSR for $500,000 at any time.
-Pay the equivalent of 5,000 ounces of gold equivalent to Noble once MacDonald has
extracted, refined and sold a minimum of 50,000 ounces of gold from the oxide sands portion of the Property.
Quentin Yarie, MacDonald’s President and CEO commented : “In the few months our team
has worked on the Holdsworth property, we’ve determined that there is a good potential for gold extraction there. We’ve
already initiated a bulk sampling program of the oxides sands–the main gold target on the property.
Securing 100% interest ensures that MacDonald can continue to aggressively advance the Wawa-Holdsworth Project and significantly
increase shareholder value. ”
Vance White, Noble’s President and CEO commented: “By vending the balance
of the Wawa Holdsworth interest Noble will become a significant shareholder in MacDonald, have a potential gold streaming revenue
stream and an ongoing NSR over the entire project area whilst allowing MacDonald to aggressively proceed with the plans for an
oxide sand bulk sampling program and follow up to the newly discovered gold bearing shear zone reported in a news release dated
December 13, 2016. This will allow Noble to focus on Project 81, where we plan an Airborne Gravity Gradiometer Survey over the
entire ~70,000 Hectare Project Area as well as an airborne EM/Mag survey over the two southern townships (Carnegie and Crawford)
which sit immediately north of the world class Kidd Creek mine of Exstrada celebrating its fiftieth year of
production”.

person" as such term is defined by National Instrument 43-101 has verified the data disclosed in this news release, and has
otherwise reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release on behalf of the Company.
