Update in respect of the Tomboko Gold Property, Guinea

Alamako Corporation International (“Alamako”) has recently advised the Company that it no

longer recognizes the Company’s ownership interest in the Tomboko Gold Property in Guinea.

The Company had originally entered into an option agreement on January 10, 2017 (the “Original

Option Agreement”) with predecessors in title to the property to earn up to an 80% interest in

the property, and the Company had subsequently incurred exploration expenses on the property

to earn a 51% interest in the property. As previously disclosed, the Company and Alamako, the

current holder of permits that encompass the Tomboko Gold Property, had reached an impasse,

as the Company sought to enter into an option agreement with Alamako to solidify the

Company’s claim of a 51% beneficial ownership interest in the Tomboko Gold Property, and

Alamako had refused to execute a new option agreement until Nortec first reimbursed it for

monthly standby expenditures that Alamako claimed it had incurred.

The Company disputes Alamako’s assertions and the Company intends to take steps with a view

to protecting its interest in the Tomboko Gold Property.
