[{"type":"text","content":"Project 81 Lucas Gold Deposit 2018 Winter Drilling Program - Assay Results(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nToronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / June 27, 2018 - Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (\"Noble\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to finally announce the Final Assay Results from the 2018 Winter Diamond Drill Program. 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 Mag Surveys. The entire core length was sawed in half, sampled, and 3,422 half core samples were submitted to Activation Laboratories (Actlabs) in Timmins for Gold Fire Assay with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish - (1A2 analytical package) and 32 element ICP analyses (1E3 analytical package). Au results greater than 5000 ppb were re-assayed for gold with a Gravimetric Finish (1A3 Analytical Package). Samples greater than 10g/t Au were further analysed by a metallic screen (coarse gold) analytical method (1A4-500 Analytical Package). \n\n \n \nNoble also discovered a total of 37 historical drillhole collars (Figure 2) during this field program using a CST/Berger Magna-Trak (MT200) LCD metal locator unit. All drill collars were surveyed using SXBlue II+GPS unit which has an accuracy of 30-60cm. All drill collars were sealed and flagged for future reference if required.\n\n \n \nThe main objectives of the 2018 diamond drilling campaign were three fold: \n\n \n \n\n\n- Firstly, to locate the Au mineralized Tuff+/-Pyrite+/-Chert+/-Quartz unit described in the historical drilling and to trace it along strike for approximately 650m of the 1700m strike length as interpreted from Airborne EM and MAG Surveys.\n\n\n\n- Secondly, to determine the attitude and displacement of this mineralized unit with respect to the extensive faulting and displacement interpreted from historical drilling and Airborne Geophysical Surveys. Noble discovered additional shallow angle sub-horizontal faulting and displacement within this unit, and\n\n\n\n- Thirdly, to determine the controls of the gold mineralizing mechanism/events, gold grade, and gold distribution within the mineralized tuff+/-pyrite+/-chert+/-quartz unit.\n\n\n\n \n \nIn order to realize the above objectives, 9 (nine) diamond drill holes, namely LUC 18-07,0...
