NMB Normabec Mining Resources Com Npv

Normabec Mining Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NMB)(FRANKFURT:N6M) ("Normabec" or
"the Company"), through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary Minera Real Bonanza
S.A. de C.V. ("MRB"), is pleased to announce the latest results from its Phase 1
diamond drilling program on the Real de Catorce project located in the state of
San Luis Potosi in north-central Mexico.


It should be noted that, given that these results were just received, they are
not included in the resource estimate of 33 million ounces released on June 19th
(see details below)


UNDERGROUND DRILLING

Results were obtained from a distinct hangingwall vein in hole VMP-19, from the
Refugio Vein in hole VMP-27 and from the Veta Madre Vein in hole VMP-29. It is
important to note that the intersection in hole VMP-29 is the deepest one ever
drilled on that structure, indicating that it is still well open at depth. 
Interestingly, the gold content is significantly higher in this hole than in any
other hole drilled so far on the project.

Results from hole VMP-19, although not representative of the overall grade of
that structure, clearly indicate the potential for bonanza grades on the
property.


SURFACE DRILLING

Some of the results for holes VMS-36, 38, 39 and 41 which tested Veta Madre were
released in May 2008; those which were pending have now been received and
combined results are presented in the table below.  Also, complete results from
hole VMS-37, drilled later in the sequence, have also been received. The former
four holes returned intersections much wider than expected, hence adding
significant tonnage to the resource estimate published last June.

These results are consistent with those previously released from Veta Madre and
its subsidiary structures.  They attest to the quality of the resource on the
property as well as to the potential to increase it further.  True width of Veta
Madre is estimated at approximately 5.0 metres.


The company is now gearing up for the Phase 2 drilling program on Veta Madre. 
This phase will consist of 5,000 metres of surface drilling on a 100 metre X 100
metre grid.  The objective of this program is to test and hopefully confirm the
presence of the structure, at depth, over an additional strike length of
approximately 1,000 metres.  The Phase 1 drilling program has already confirmed
the presence of the structure to a depth exceeding 700 metres in the sector of
the Purisima oreshoot.




The 2008 43-101 Resource Estimate consisted of:
   Measured:                2.6 MT grading 221 g/t Ag, 18.6 M oz Ag
   Indicated:               1.0 MT grading 321 g/t Ag, 10.2 M oz Ag
   Measured in tailings     1.4 MT grading 90 g/t Ag,   4.1 M oz Ag
                                                       ------------
                                   Total:              32.9 M oz Ag



Samples were prepared and assayed at Chemex Lab of Guadalajara, Mexico.  Methods
used are Au-ICP21 for gold and ME-ICP41 for multi elements including silver. 
Detection limits for Ag are 0.2 - 100 ppm.  Silver values higher than 100 ppm
are submitted to method AG-AA46 consisting of aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES
or AA finish (up to 1,500 ppm Ag).  QA/QC was performed using two silver
standards and one blank being introduced alternatively (every 25 samples). 
Duplicates are being performed by the laboratory.
