Vancouver, British Columbia – September 19, 2013. Nortec Minerals Corp. (“Nortec”) announces that Finore Mining Inc., (“Finore”) has filed an independent Technical Report (“Technical Report”) on Sedar detailing the results on the updated resources and potential on the Lantinen-Koillismma Project (the “LK Project”).

Nortec is the majority shareholder of Finore controlling 60% of the issued and outstanding shares. Finore has an option to earn 100% of the Project through the acquisition of Nortec Minerals Oy (“NorMinOy”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nortec.

The Technical Report, entitled “A Technical Report on the L�ntinen Koillismaa Project, Finland For Finore Mining Inc.”, was prepared by Mining Plus Canada Consulting Ltd. (“MP Consulting”), an accredited international mining consulting corporation. The report complies with the NI 43-101 guidelines. Further details are provided at the end of the press release.

Summary of Mineral Resource Estimates for LK Project at a cut-off grade of O.1 g/t Palladium*

Kaukua Deposit (Main Zone)

Haukiaho Deposit�(Melarame, Torkoaho and West Torkoaho zones)

* A sharp boundary Pd assay at a cut-off of 0.1 g/t was interpreted as the waste contact. The high correlation for Pt and Pd means that both metals can be used for defining the geometry of mineralization for the Kaukua and Haukiaho deposits. �The grade is continuous along the strike of both deposits. At higher cut-off grades of 0.2 g/t Pd for Haukiaho and 0.3 g/t Pd for Kaukua the total resource estimates do not change significantly.

**Ni is the total Nickel content.

The recent mineral resource estimates place the LK Project as the second largest undeveloped PGE+Gold deposit in Finland,� said Peter Tegart, Director of Nortec and President & CEO of Finore Mining Inc. �In addition, considerable upside potential remains to these deposits, with opportunities to expand both deposits along strike and depth. �There is also excellent potential to discover entirely new deposits within the Koillismaa-Narankavaara intrusive complex which has only been investigated for a small portion of the strike length as exposed on surface. �I feel confident that we will achieve our objective to efficiently define large, economically viable Palladium-Platinum-Gold-Copper-Nickel near-surface resource bodies through our implementation of (a) increasing the confidence level of the known mineral resources, (b) expanding the known deposits and (c) testing for potential new deposits.��

The LK Project consists of 40 claims and 5 pending claims totaling 3,787 hectares and covers three distinct ultramafic blocks within the Koillismaa-Narankavaara intrusive complex. The LK Project is located in north central Finland approximately 60 km north of the company’s exploration office in the village of Taivalkoski. �It is 130 km ESE of the town of Rovaniemi and 160 km NE of the port town of Ouluand, is accessable by major paved roads with local access on gravel or dirt roads. ��

There are four target areas on the LK Project, Haukiaho, Kaukua, Murtolampi and Lipeavaara. �Over 33,000 metres of drilling was carried out by Nortec and Finore on Haukiaho and Kaukua with historical drilling by Geological Survey of Finland (�GTK�) on the Mutolampi and Lipeavaara zones. �

The Haukiaho Target consists of three mineralized fault separated blocks: West Torkoaho (West) Zone, Torkoaho (Central) Zone and Melarame (East) Zone. �The Torkoaho Zone appears to thicken and flatten to the east with only three drill holes Hau11-10, Hau11-18 and the GTK drill hole R386 drilled over a strike distance of 400 metres. �As reported in the Company�s and Nortec�s press releases dated September 11, 2012, the results from the three drill holes are listed below. �The intersections are core lengths only and true thicknesses are not calculated. �

Hole Hau11-010: 25.0 metres @ 0.72g/t PGE+Au; 0.23% Cu; 0.18% Ni from 66 metres

Hole R-386: 46.65 metres @ 0.88g/t PGE+Au; 0.30% Cu; 0.20% Ni from 36.05 metres

Hole Hau12-018: 26.0 metres @ 1.01g/t PGE+Au; 0.33% Cu; 0.26% Ni from 104 metres � � � � � � � � � � � � � � and 31.6 metres @ 1.04g/t PGE+Au; 0.34% Cu; 0.22% Ni from 134 metres

As recommended in the MP Consulting Report a systematic drilling program is planned along strike and dip from these holes over a length of 500 metres. The objective of this drilling is to improve the confidence level of this inferred resource to an indicated category.

It is also planned to infill drill the West Torkoaho Zone to generate an indicated resource from an inferred resource now estimated in the MP Consulting Report. As reported in the Company’s and Nortec’s press releases dated September 11, 2012, the West Torkoaho Zone was identified by only two holes drilled on the western margins of the Torkoaho Zone where Hau11-16 returned 30 metres grading 1.04g/t PGE+Au, 0.30% Cu and 0.20% Ni including 16.3 metres of 1.45g/t PGE+Au, 0.42% Cu and 0.28% Ni. These intersections are also core lengths only and more drilling is required to calculate the true thicknesses. The West Torkoaho Zone is open along strike to the west for over 500 metres. From the drilling done to date, both Zones have the potential for higher grades than what was identified thus far in the Melarame Zone.

In the Kaukua East Zone several intersections returned significant results not included in the resource estimation by MP Consulting and a systematic drilling campaign is recommended to bring the Kaukua East Zone to resource level.

MP Consulting, in consultation with Finore, recommends implementing a two phase program to increase the size and definition of the Haukiaho and Kaukua zones. The budget for this phase of the project is estimated to be about C$1,733,000. MP Consulting, Nortec and Finore believe that additional mineral resources will likely be found in these zones in addition to better defining the Zones to an indicated category. A second phase of work is recommended to explore along the strike extent of the Kollismaa-Narankavaara ultrabasic intrusive complexes and defined by geophysical surveys and owned by NorMinOy. This includes known zones within the Lipeavaara and Murtolampi zones, where preliminary drilling was carried out by GTK that is estimated to cost about C$540,000.

Nortec and Finore’s experience in Finland has been positive with both the laws of the country and our interaction with the professionals working for NorMinOy. Finland was ranked 1st in the world on the Policy Potential Index of the Fraser Institute’s 2012-2013 survey (PDAC International Convention 2013). The country was also recently ranked as the best place in the world for mining investments according to Resource Stocks Magazine’s 2012 World Risk Survey. According to the GTK website, a total of 50 mines and quarries were operating in 2012.

Peter F. Tegart, Director of Nortec and President and CEO of Finore and Mohan R. Vulimiri, M.Sc., P.Geo., Chairman and CEO of Nortec and Director of Finore are the persons responsible for initiating and guiding the work programs on the LK Project and Mohan Vulimiri is the Qualified Person responsible for the contents of this press release.
