[{"type":"text","content":"Lucas Gold Deposit Twinned Holes Assay Comparison & Exploration Potential(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nToronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / July 5, 2018 - Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (\"Noble\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to publish the twinned holes assay results comparison from its recently completed 2018 Winter Drill Program. As reported in previous News Releases, Noble completed 15 NQ size diamond drill holes totalling 3,183.93m covering approximately 650m strike length (Figure-1) of the 1700m Gold Mineralized structure/trend identified from Airborne EM and Differential Mag Surveys. \n\n \n \nNoble also discovered a total of 37 historical drillhole collars (Figure-2) during this field program and twinned 3 (three) historical drill holes, namely holes L80-04 with LUC 18-21, L80-13 with LUC18-19 and L81-36 with LUC 18-20, see Table-1. Twinned holes were within a 5m to 15m radius of the historical drill collars.\n\n \n \nThe interpreted nature of the gold mineralization in the Lucas Gold Deposit, as discrete lenses stacked within the pyrite + gold mineralized tuff unit lends itself to vary in gold tenure and gold content within each discrete lens and subsequently throughout the mineralized tuff unit, and as such exact gold grades would be impossible to duplicate even if the same lens were intersected, in any new drilling campaign.\n\n \n \nInterpretation:\n\n \n \nThe Noble exploration team has interpreted the gold mineralization within the mineralized tuff+/-pyrite+/-chert+/-quartz to occur as discrete \"eye shaped lens like openings\", analogous to \"rounds\" of a ladder stacked within the mineralized unit. The initial pyrite alteration of the tuff unit made it very brittle and the subsequent extensive regional ductile deformation and shearing within the general area caused this brittle mineralized tuff unit to develop multiple \"Griffiths Cracks\" oblique to the general shearing directions. These eye- shaped lens like openings were subsequently infilled with gold, pyrite, chert and/or quartz and facilitated the concentrating of gold within these structural \"cracks\". Wider spread gold mineralization and gold concentration also occurred within the larger mineralized tuff unit that were being altered during this contemporaneous mineralizing event.
