The\nclaims extend from about 4 to 15 km southwest of the town of Hearst,\nOntario. The property area is equivalent to approximately 4,500\nhectares or 45 sq km.  The purpose of the Phase 1 drill program was\nto identify the nature of the till and bedrock geology in the vicinity\nof the mineralized boulder discovery.  This was necessary since about\n90% of the property is glacial till covered.\n \n\n\n\n Historically, a sample of a metalliferous boulder,\nbrought to the Timmins Mining District Regional Resident Geologist in\n2019 by a Mr. A. Cousineau, was submitted for chemical analysis to\nGeolabs in Sudbury to establish its metal and mineralogical makeup.\nGeolabs determined that the boulder contained:\n \n\n 71.8% copper; 3.5% lead, 1.09% zinc; 252\ng/t of silver, 3.79 g/t of gold; 4.43 g/t of palladium; and 2.22 g/t\nof platinum\n \n\n and consisted primarily of cuprite\n(van Hees et al., 2020).\n \n\n\n\n In 2021, Noble launched a surface exploration program\nto in an effort to identify the source of the boulder.  Basal till\nsamples collected from two fences of hand auger holes, located about\n100 m and 1 km north of the boulder,\n \n\n produced 35 gold grains\n \n\n .  In 2022 an airborne geophysical survey was flown over the\nproperty followed by a ground geophysical survey in November/December\n2023.\n \n\n\n\n The Phase 1 drill holes were focussed in the vicinity\nof the boulder location in order to better understand the physical and\nfault related geology as defined by geophysics done in the Fall of\n2023.  The data collected in the Phase 1 drill program is in the\nprocess of being evaluated.\n \n\n\n\n Induced Polarization (IP) surveys conducted in 2024\nidentified several anomalie...
