Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. reported that the Ontario Government has granted Noble an OJEP grant for a diamond drill program on the Kidd2/Carnegie Project near Timmins Ontario. vThe Kidd2/Carnegie Project consists of a group of patented and staked mining claims in the vicinity of the Kidd Creek Mine and 24 km north of Timmins Ontario. The Kidd deposit is one of the largest volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits in the world, and one of the world's largest base metal deposits and lies within the Abitibi greenstone belt and is presently owned by Glencore.

Exploration of this area in the past has been hindered by small land packages owned by various companies. Over the years, Noble has been successful in assembling one of the largest land inventories in the vicinity of the Kidd Creek Mine. Noble Minerals has completed strategic Induced Polarization surveys within 2 km of the Kidd Creek open pit on the Fly Creek Rhyolite.

The target of the program is rhyolite intercalated with ultramafic rocks on an anticlinal structure. It is postulated that these rhyolites are the same age as the Kidd Creek mineralized rhyolites. Bleeker (1999) proposed that faults that slice through the Kidd Creek mine fold have displaced the northern limb of the Kidd Creek Mine fold up to 2 km to the north and are interpreted to be time-stratigraphic equivalent.

In addition, the Fly Creek Rhyolite may be the faulted extension of the Chance Rhyolite where several Texas Gulf drill holes intersected lead, zinc and silver mineralization. To the west, Noble has used Induced Polarization to investigate a property that lies within 600 meters and on strike with the Chance mineralization. This stratigraphic horizon also runs through the Kidd Creek Mine.
