2. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Nobel Resources Corp. (NBLC:TSXV) announced on May 15, 2026, the commencement of a diamond drilling program at its Pampa Austral property in Chile's metallogenic belt. Nobel plans an initial program targeting two drill holes to evaluate estimates reported in historical drilling data. Historical data suggests intersection of 70 meters grading 0.70% copper, in which 14 meters grading 2.1% copper and 0.1 g/t gold are also reported. The mineralized hole occurs adjacent to an IP chargeability anomaly, as per surveys conducted by the optioner of Pampa Austral subsequent to the Farwest drilling. This anomaly will also be tested.

In other news, Quantec Geophysics is conducting an IP survey at the Cuprita project, which has reached around 75% completion. Preliminary results suggest a chargeability anomaly extending to the south and west under the lithocap that was the target of the initial drill program. Further, recent results from a Photosat high resolution satellite imagery survey confirm that alteration mineral assemblages characteristic of mineralized porphyry systems in the area occur associated with the extensive lithocap at Cuprita.

Nobel's CEO and Director, Vernon Arseneau, said in the release: "The results at Cuprita are encouraging and satellite data will be integrated with the IP survey, when completed, and the detailed geological mapping to improve drill targeting for a future campaign."

Nobel Resources is a Canadian resource company focused on identifying and developing prospective mineral projects in northern Chile.

Copper Demand Unlikely to Lessen in 2026

Copper prices are continuing to boom due to industrial demand and the rise of AI data centers. On May 12, 2026, Piyush Shukla of The Economic Times wrote that, "Copper prices are soaring aggressively in 2026 as copper futures smash record highs above US$14,000 per ton and COMEX copper crosses US$6.50 per pound. The rally is no longer only about manufacturing demand. AI data center construction is now driving a massive global copper rush. China’s factory recovery, Middle East sulfuric acid shortages, and tightening mine supply are deepening the global copper crunch." So far, copper prices have risen more than 10% since the start of the year, and over 40% since the beginning of 2025.

In a war that has drawn focus due to oil shortages, investors may find themselves questioning what problems it could cause for copper. Other than the traditional volatility of metals during times of political uncertainty, Josh Chiat of Stockhead noted that ". . . the Middle East is a major source of sulphur, a by-product from oil and gas production, and an input key to the sulphuric acid commonly used in nickel and copper processing. Twenty percent of world copper supply comes from SX-EW (solvent extraction and electrowinning), which requires sulphuric acid, which has been impacted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz."

Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran are ever-evolving, but copper prices are unlikely to fall dramatically, even if a resolution is found. China's output fell by 3% in April 2026, and tariff expenses are keeping the stock price high.

A Leveraged Stock for Copper Investors

¹In a contributed opinion piece for Streetwise Reports, John Newell of John Newell and Associates wrote about Nobel Resources on December 23, 2025. Newell rated the company as a "Speculative Buy", noting that, "Nobel Resources Corp. is positioning itself to become a copper discovery company at a time when new discoveries in tier-one jurisdictions are increasingly rare."

He continued, saying, "I view Noble Resources as a "Speculative Buy" for investors who understand exploration risk and are looking for leverage to copper discovery in a world-class jurisdiction."

A Separate Project to Explore

Nobel intends to explore its Anais property, which is located near Manto Verde Mine and within a metallogenic belt that includes large copper deposits. This is a ready-to-drill project in which the company hopes to discover high-grade copper-gold mineralization.
