Normabec Mining Resources Limited ("NORMABEC" or the "Company")
(TSX VENTURE: NMB)(FRANKFURT: N6M) is pleased to announce all
remaining results from its last drilling program on the Pitt Gold
property, located along the Porcupine-Destor Break, some 35 km
north of Rouyn-Noranda, in the Abitibi region of Quebec.
From October to December 2008, Normabec completed 9 holes for a
total of 5,180 metres of core. Most holes targeted extensions of
known mineralized zones and more specifically zones 1 and 2 located
in the eastern portion of the property. Hole PG2008-09 was an
in-fill hole and hole PG2008-11 targeted the depth extension of the
known mineralization. All other holes tested the extension towards
surface of the known zones (above 400 metres).
It should be noted that shallow historical drilling on Pitt Gold
(in the 50's) mostly tested the immediate footwall of the
Porcupine-Destor break (within 100 m of the fault). Normabec's
recent drilling successes, above the 400 metre level, have mostly
been obtained further away from the fault (up to 300 metres to the
north) in an area that remains poorly explored.
Significant results from the first two holes: PG2008-08 (11.52
g/t Au over 5 m) and PG2008-09 (9.13 g/t Au over 11 m) were
published earlier this year (see Press Release Jan 6th, 2009). The
following table gives the results for the remaining seven
holes:

Intersections above 1 g/t Au are very often found within gold
anomalous halos much larger than the individual higher grade
intervals. The significant gold assays obtained in PG2008-15 have
been cut along the up dip extension of the known structures. In
fact, no gold value higher than 30 g/t Au was ever cut above the
300 metre level on the property before this hole. Except for hole
PG2008-11 which cut the zones at an angle of approximately 45
degrees, core angles range from 80 to 90 degrees meaning that core
length is almost identical to true thickness.
Considering that fact that most of the holes of the last program
were targeting extensions of know veins (not in-fill drilling),
these results are significant. For instance, the interval obtained
in PG2008-15 (12.15 g/t Au over 6.5 m, cut at approximately 250
metres from surface) is entirely open towards surface.
Normabec is now initiating a compilation phase to outline new
drilling targets. Giving the latest exciting results, it appears
obvious that shallow drilling will have to be performed to follow
up on the near surface extensions of the veins.
Samples were prepared and assayed at Technilab of Sainte
Germaine de Boule and were subjected to fire assay with AA finish.
Normabec has implemented a QAQC program which includes systematic
use of standards, blanks and duplicates. Values above 3 g/t Au are
systematically re-assayed.
The 2008 drilling program was carried out under the supervision
of Mr. Pierre O'Dowd, geologist and Qualified Person as per
National Instrument 43-101.
Normabec is a junior mining exploration company with a portfolio
of advanced exploration projects including: the 100% owned Pitt
Gold Project in Quebec and the 100% owned Real de Catorce Silver
Project in Mexico.
