What Nobel Resources does

Nobel Resources Corp. is a Canadian-domiciled mineral exploration company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (NBLC) and OTCQB (NBTRF). The company became publicly traded in April 2021 via a reverse takeover of Novo19 Capital Corp., and changed its name from Nobel29 Resources Corp. to Nobel Resources Corp. in July 2021 when it continued from British Columbia into Ontario. Operating through a wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary (Mantos Grandes Resources Chile SpA), Nobel targets copper porphyry and IOCG-style mineralization in Chile's Paleocene Porphyry Copper Belt in the Atacama and Antofagasta regions. Its current portfolio comprises the Cuprita Project (1,000 hectares, flagship) and the Janett Project, following the June 2026 termination of the Anais and Pampa Austral options.

Nobel's exploration workflow integrates induced polarization (IP) 2D/3D inversion modeling (executed by Quantec Geoscience), WorldView-3 satellite alteration mineral mapping using deep learning CNN techniques (executed by Photosat), diamond drilling (AK Drilling), U-Pb radiometric age dating, and certified lab analyses (ALS Limited, Andes Analytical Assays). At Cuprita, drilling has confirmed a mineralized porphyry system with copper assays of 0.1%-0.2% from veins and stockwork, alongside widespread surface copper oxide mineralization, hydrothermal breccias, and porphyritic dykes. The business model is pre-revenue: Nobel funds exploration entirely through equity financings and has no commercial production, with future monetization paths including potential discovery, joint venture, or acquisition by a larger mining company. The company has historically held and then withdrawn from options on La Salvadora, Algarrobo, and Pircas Verdes, reflecting the high attrition rate typical of grassroots copper exploration.

Core offering

Nobel Resources is a mineral exploration and development company that acquires option agreements on prospective copper properties in Chile and conducts systematic exploration programs including geophysical surveys, diamond drilling, geochemical sampling, and satellite-based alteration mapping to identify porphyry copper and IOCG-style deposits. The company's flagship asset, the 1,000-hectare Cuprita Project, is held under an option agreement to earn 100% ownership, and the company intends to monetize discoveries through development, joint venture, or sale to a larger mining operator.

Product overview

Nobel Resources Corp. is a TSX Venture Exchange listed (TSX-V: NBLC; OTCPK: NBTRF) Canadian copper exploration company. The company operates a portfolio of copper exploration projects in Chile, with the Cuprita Project serving as the current flagship asset. Previously, Nobel held options on multiple other Chilean copper projects including Pampa Austral, Anais, Janett, Pircas Verdes, La Salvadora, and Algarrobo, several of which have been terminated following exploration drilling and evaluation. The company is focused on porphyry copper and IOCG-style mineralization targets within Chile's prolific copper belts.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Cuprita Project Flagship copper exploration property comprising 1,000 hectares in the Atacama Region of Chile's Paleocene Porphyry Copper Belt, 36 km southeast of Diego de Almagro and 126 km northeast of Copiapó. Nobel Resources holds an option to earn 100% ownership. Hosts widespread surface copper oxide mineralization, hydrothermal breccias, and porphyritic dykes with strong induced polarization and magnetic anomalies. Drilling has confirmed a large mineralized porphyry system returning 0.1% to 0.2% copper from mineralized veins and veinlet stockwork.
• Janett Project Copper exploration project in Chile that remains active alongside the Cuprita Project as Nobel Resources continues exploration focus in northern Chile following the June 2026 termination of the Anais and Pampa Austral option agreements.
• Pampa Austral Project IOCG copper exploration project located approximately 35 km north of Diego de Almagro in Chile. Nobel Resources terminated its option agreement effective June 15, 2026 after drilling failed to repeat historical copper results.
• Anais Project Copper exploration project in Chile where Nobel Resources terminated its option agreement effective June 15, 2026 after previously unreported drill casings were discovered limiting discovery potential.

Quantifiable outcome

• Drilling has confirmed a large, bona fide mineralized porphyry system at Cuprita with assay results returning 0.1% to 0.2% copper from mineralized veins and veinlet stockwork.
