QUARTERLY REPORT TO 31 MARCH 2009
ANNOUNCEMENT
30 APRIL 2009
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Trenching programme identifies Satin Mine structure 2.5 kilometres south of known resource area. Quartz vein assayed at 6.9 g/t over one metre .
-
Pitting programme over soil anomaly at Tumentu has identified anomalous bedrock mineralisation.
-
Due diligence soil sampling has commenced over the Brotet Prospecting Licence.
-
Quotations received from drilling companies to commence RC and HQ core drilling over the Satin and Morrison mineralised structures in the fourth quarter of FY 2009.
The Cape Three Points Licence lies on the eastern margin of the Ashanti Gold Belt in Southwest Ghana. The high grade, historical Satin goldmine occurs in the north western portion of the concession. The Satin mine lies forty five kilometres (45km) south of Goldfields’ and AngloGold Ashanti’s mining operations in Tarkwa, twenty five kilometres (25km) southeast of Adamus Resources’ Salman deposit and nineteen kilometres (19km) southwest of the Golden Star Resources mining operations at Hwini Butre.

WORK COMPLETED DURING THE QUARTER
Trenching on Cape Three Points Project:
Noble Mineral Resources Ltd (“Noble” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of an intensive trenching program over anomalies defined by recent soil sampling. This program has identified significant gold mineralisation over two structural corridors south of the Satin Mine and a quartz vein in trench CTP011 which has produced an average assay value of 6.90 g/t. This vein is thought to represent a 2.5km extension of the Satin Mine structure.

Due Diligence Soil Sampling on the Brotet Prospecting Licence:
The collection of due diligence soil samples over the gold in-soil anomaly defined by Anglo American (Anmercosa) in the mid 1990s has commenced during the quarter. Sample lines have been cleared at one kilometre intervals over the anomaly that is thought to extend for six kilometres northwards from the Morrison Prospect through to the northern boundary of the Brotet Licence.
This sampling program will be complete and assay results are expected to be delivered early in the fourth Quarter. A decision will be made in the fourth quarter as to the viability of progressing to a Joint Venture with Brotet on this concession.
Proposed drilling over the Satin and Morrison Prospects:
A combined RC and HQ core drilling programme to assess the strike continuations and depth projections of the Satin Mine structure and the Morrison mineralised structures has been approved by the Board of Directors. Site preparation will commence in early May and the drill rig is expected on site by 15[th] May. In total 5,000 metres of RC and 1,500 metres of HQ core drilling has been planned for this program. Formal contracts for the dozer works required for access and drill pad preparation have been finalised and work will commence immediately in the fourth quarter.
Discovery of Anomalous bedrock mineralisation on Tumentu Prospecting Licence:
Ten manually excavated pits were completed during the quarter to test bedrock mineralisation within a soil anomaly defined by previous operators of the Licence. All pits returned significant gold values with the pit TPT02 recording 0.53 grams from a two metre horizontal channel sample.
Additional pitting and follow up trenching is now in the planning stage with targets generated and this program will commence in the fourth quarter.
Australia: Bindi Bindi East Exploration Project:
The Company has recently been informed by DOIR that the BINDI BINDI EAST EL application has now been granted. Exploration will commence on this newly issued tenure in the following quarter. The Bindi Bindi East Project has the potential to contain Nickel, Copper PGE mineralisation as determined by previous interpretation.

Ghana: Potential Project Acquisitions:
Potential significant opportunities for mergers and or acquisitions currently exist in Ghana and Africa at this time within exploration and production areas of the gold mining industry. The Board and management team are currently investigating selected opportunities, projects that align within Noble’s model of acquisition of advanced stage gold exploration projects or advanced stage gold production projects will be investigated and assessed. The Company will keep our shareholders and the general market informed of any progress in this area as soon as information becomes available or decisions are taken to advance through to acquisition of viable projects.
