Nortec Minerals completes NI 43-101 Technical Report and provides Update on Phase 1
drilling, Tomboko Gold Property, Northeast Guinea, West Africa
Vancouver, BC / TNW – Accesswire / Vancouver, B.C., November 7, 2017 – Nortec Minerals Corp .
(TSX-V: NVT; OTC-PK: NMNZF) (the “Company” or “Nortec”) – Pursuant to Nortec’s recent press
releases the Company announces the completion of Technical Report, compliant with NI 43-101 standards,
on the Tomboko Permit, Northeastern Guinea, West Africa. Mr. Simon Meadows Smith, FIMMM, FGS, of
SEMS Exploration is the author of the Technical Report. The Report will be filed on SEDAR and posted on
the Company ’s website, www.nortecminerals.com, shortly. SEMS Exploration is a full-service mineral
exploration and mining consultancy company in West Africa, providing geological, mining engineering and
environmental services; from grassroots reconnaissance through mineral resource estimations, project
management and mine design to the supervision of feasibility studies. Further information can be referred to
on http://www.sems-exploration.com.
The Technical Report’s conclusions and recommendations are as follows.
Conclusions
The Tomboko Gold Project consists of an exploration licence (Permis de Recherche Minière) in the Siguiri
Basin covering a surface area of 75.9 km². The Tomboko permit is ideally located in an established gold
mining district and is close to two large mine operations (SAG at Siguiri and Nordgold at Lefa), one smaller
gold mine at Kéniéro and advanced projects such as Kouroussa (Cassidy), Tri -K (Avocet / Managem),
Yanfolila (Hummingbird) and Kalana (Endeavour).
Successful reconnaissance and follow-up geochemical surveys as well as first pass geological field mapping
completed by Wega Mining in 2008 and 2009 resulted in the identification of severa l anomalous zones of
gold mineralisation at surface within the western portion of the permit.
Additional field mapping and rock chip sampling by The Golden Rule Ltd. (TGRL) in 2012 delineated two
gold prospects within the target area referred to as TOM-1. These have been named TOM-1 Nord and TOM-
1 Sud. High grade rock chip samples have been collected from TOM -1 Nord prospect with values up to
84.63g/t Au.
Nortec plans to undertake a first pass diamond core drill program of over the high -grade rock chip samples
reported on Tom-1 Nord prospect in the second half of October 2017 (Two drill holes were already completed
to date and a third hole is in progress).
Alluvial gold mining by TGRL in 2010 exploited gold bearing gravels from within a stream channel draining
off Mount Didi and sourced within the Tomboko permit.
The entire Tomboko permit remains prospective for hard rock gold mineralisation. Further work is required
to better understand the controls on mineralisation identified in historical soil geochemical and rock chip
surveys.
Recommendations
It is recommended that further mineral exploration work be undertaken on the Tomboko Permit. The

following recommended activities will further advance geological understanding of the controls on gold
mineralisation:
- Collation of all historical exploration data into a structured database. As well as the representation
of all sampling and survey data in a GIS package to better understand the work completed by HKD
and TGRL.
- High resolution satellite images , captured within the last three months if available, should be
purchased for the entire Tomboko Gold Project. The satellite images will be used to digitise artisanal
mining activities, access tracks and foot paths as well as forming the basis for a regolith map.
- Aerial geophysical surveys should be flown of the entire Tamboko Gold Project. Preferably, high
resolution magnetics on 50m spaced lines. This will assist with the delineation of interpreted shear
zones and the mapping of dolerite, volcaniclastic and sediment contacts.
- Fieldwork should include selective areas of soil geochemical sampling to better define the orientation
and extent of known soil anomalies. Fieldwork should also focus on the ‘ground truthing’ of the
interpreted regolith map and confirm the existence of a felsic intrusive body in the northeast corner
of the permit.
- Soil anomalies can be tested with shallow (approximately 40m deep) RAB or Air Core drilling
- Systemic RC drilling of bedrock mineralisation defined by Air Core drilling.
- Detailed litho-structural mapping of trenches, bulldozer road cuttings and outcrops within the TOM-
1 Nord prospect.
- A structural study of gold mineralisation identified in mechanically excavated trenches and diamond
core. This factual information can be integrated with structural interpretations of remote data, such
as aerial geophysics and satellite images to define the controls upon gold mineralisation within the
Tomboko Gold Project.
- When sufficient drill information is available a mineral resource estimate should be undertaken.
Drilling Update
Further to the Company’s press release dated October 23, 2017, two diamond core drill holes were completed
on the Tom 1 North target. The first two holes (TBDD001A, 002) were drilled at -50° to the Northeast on
Priority 3 Target (50 metre and 100 metre holes) to intersect the trace of surface termite mound soil gold
anomaly. The third hole (TBDD003) is currently in progress and is aimed to target the high grade surface
samples (of 84.6 g/t, 35.8 g/t, 13.9 g/t, 5.8 g/t, 4.7 g/t, 2.5 g/t to trace) and the significant termite mound soil
gold anomaly (Figures 1 and 2).
All the bedrock and termite mound samples were analysed by SGS Labs, an accredited laboratory in Bamako,
Mali. A blank was inserted every 20 th sample for quality control. The split samples are being sent to SGS
Labs for analyses with standard blanks for quality control. The Company will issue press releases upon
receipt of the assays.
