Completion of Share Purchase Plan
ASX MEDIA RELEASE
Noble Mineral Resources Limited (ASX NMG) is pleased to announce that the Company’s May 2010 Share Purchase Plan which closed last week has raised $3,406,500. As a result, 11,354,999 new shares have been allotted to 386 participating shareholders.
These proceeds, combined with the recently completed $36.8 million placement, will more than satisfy the minimum working capital requirements associated with the Bibiani Gold Project acquisition. The combined raisings will be used to fund:
-
the $8m refurbishment of the 2.7mtpa gold processing plant;
-
the first stage of the $8m open pit cut-back to access the previously announced gold resources;
-
the Company’s $9m 2010-2011 exploration program targeting new open cut resources at the Bibiani Gold Project and the adjacent concessions;
-
exploration on other concessions in the Ashanti Gold Belt.
The Company has recently acquired its own drilling rig with drilling expected to commence in July 2010 with first results due soon after.
Noble expresses its appreciation to participating shareholders for their response to the Share Purchase Plan Offer and looks forward to advising of the Company’s progress.
The Company’s ASX Appendix 3B, Application for Quotation of Additional Securities, is attached.

About Noble Mineral Resources Limited
Noble Mineral Resources Ltd listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 26 June 2008 with a focus on exploring for large-scale gold deposits in the world-class Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana.
In November 2009, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of the Bibiani Gold Mine , a project located in the Sefwi-Bibiani Gold belt in Ghana, host to over 30 million ounces of gold..
Noble’s other primary gold concessions are two Exploration Licences, Cape Three Points and Tumentu , which cover some 88km² and are located within the world-class Ashanti Gold Belt in south eastern Ghana. Ghana is the second largest gold producer in the African continent and is the 10[th] largest gold producing nation in the world, with annual production of approximately 2.4 million ounces.
Noble’s ongoing focus will be to evaluate the Cape Three Points Concession within the southern extension of the Ashanti Gold Belt. Initial exploration will be targeted towards the Satin Mine Project and the Morrison Project, which both lie in an area of historic underground gold production. Noble believes that there is significant potential for the delineation of additional high-grade gold mineralisation relating to the down-plunge and strike extension to these zones.
As well as these more advanced exploration opportunities, the Cape Three Points concession hosts three other project areas for immediate follow-up and five lower-priority prospect areas that Noble has earmarked for ongoing exploration.
