NAG North American Gem Inc.

North American Gem Inc. (TSX-V: NAG) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that Fugro Airborne Surveys of Ottawa, Ontario has commenced an airborne geophysical survey on three selected "Survey Blocks" around the Tobin Lake area for a total of 1,453 line kilometres with traverse line spacing of 600 meters. This survey will cover a total of 66,347 hectares and will likely take 3-4 days to complete.

The Company prioritized this particular region surrounding Tobin Lake based on historic coal occurrences within oil exploration wells. The interpreted shallow depth to coal of less than 100 metres from the surface was a key point in this decision. As with the majority of the Company's land holdings, this region is within the prolific "Durango Trend" as defined by Goldsource Mines Inc.; which comprises several coal occurrences between Wapawekka Lake and the Goldsource's "Border Property" northeast of Hudson Bay. The surveyed region will also provide year round drilling access to potential targets, and a straight forward approval process through private land holders and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources. The drilling approval process is scheduled to take approximately 1-2 weeks after targets are generated by the airborne survey.

North American Gem has been granted 757 Coal Prospecting Permits covering an area of 1,436,500 acres (581,376 hectares) that have been approved by Saskatchewan Energy and Resources. The Company acknowledges that this land package will require a few phases of airborne study to cover the entire area of interest.

North American Gem Inc. has engaged Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. (Dahrouge) of Edmonton, Alberta, to complete the permitting process on its behalf. Dahrouge has significant experience in exploring for and developing deposits of thermal coal within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.
