Noble Mineral Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan, Hires Investor Relations Firm

Noble Mineral Exploration Inc., a Canadian junior exploration company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NOB, has announced two significant corporate developments aimed at strengthening its position and enhancing shareholder value. The company has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement, commonly known as a "poison pill," to protect shareholders from unfair takeover attempts, including creeping takeover bids where an entity gradually acquires control without offering a premium to all shareholders. This plan, effective immediately for three years, requires shareholder ratification at the upcoming annual general meeting in February 2026 and has received conditional approval from the TSXV. It grants the Board of Directors time to evaluate alternatives and ensures fair treatment by issuing rights to common shareholders that activate during takeover scenarios involving 20% or more share acquisition.

Simultaneously, Noble has engaged GRA Enterprises LLC DBA National Inflation Association (NIA) as an investor relations consultant to boost awareness of its activities through social media platforms like Inflation.us and direct outreach to financial stakeholders. The six-month contract, valued at USD$50,000, is subject to TSXV regulatory approval and aims to communicate Noble's diverse exploration portfolio, which includes holdings in Canada Nickel Company Inc. and extensive mineral rights across Ontario, Quebec, and Labrador. These strategic moves come as Noble focuses on its Project 81 and other properties targeting gold, nickel-cobalt, and rare earth elements, positioning the company for growth while safeguarding investor interests against potential market volatility or hostile takeovers.

The adoption of the Shareholder Rights Plan and the retention of NIA reflect Noble's proactive approach to corporate governance and market engagement. The plan, detailed in an agreement with TSX Trust Company, will be included in the management information circular for the AGM, and if not approved by shareholders by June 2026, it will terminate. Meanwhile, NIA's services, which began on December 3, 2025, include enhancing stakeholder communications without any current shareholdings in Noble, ensuring an arm's-length relationship.
