About Nortec Minerals Corp.

Nortec is a mineral exploration and development company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company has a 100% interest in the Tammela Gold & Lithium Project in South-West Finland. The Tammela project consists of the Kiety�nm�ki Lithium zone and Satulinmaki and Riukka gold zones. Nortec has carried out confirmation sampling of the drill core from both the lithium and gold zones in 2010 and 2011. Sampling of drill core from Kiety�nm�ki zone returned 9m @ 1.03% lithium.

Mineralisation is hosted within the Kiety�nm�ki Main Dyke (KMD), a large spodumene-rich (LiAlSi2O6) pegmatite dyke that can be traced for over 400m (open to the south-east) with an average width of 12 metres. The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) drilled 17 holes (for 734 metres across 3 section lines) to test the lithium potential of the KMD along 120 metres of strike. The average drill intersection was 18m wide and was traced down to 75 metres below natural surface and appears to be open at depth.

Re-sampling returned significant gold values in both Satulinmaki and Riukka zones. Some of the significant results are 37.7 metres @ 1.03 g/t Gold from 51 metres (Hole R330 � Satulinm�ki Prospect), 10.0 metres @ 2.47 g/t Gold from 20 metres (Hole R356 � Riukka Prospect) and 2.50 metres @ 6.81 g/t Gold from 61.35 metres (Hole R357 � Riukka Prospect).

The Company also holds a significant shareholding interest in its subsidiary, Finore Mining Inc. Finore controls a 100% interest in the Lantinen Koillismaa PGE-Au-Cu-Ni deposit, Finland. Information on the Company’s projects can be referred to on www.nortecminerals.com
