Nortec Minerals commences work program in preparation for Phase 1 drilling, Tomboko

Gold Property, Northeast Guinea, West Africa

Vancouver, BC / TNW – Accesswire / Vancouver, B.C., April 12, 2017 – Nortec Minerals Corp. (TSX-

V: NVT; OTC -PK: NMNZF) (the “Company” or “Nortec ”) – Nortec commences work program in

preparation for Phase 1 drilling on the Tom-1 and Tom-2 targets, Tomboko Permit, Northeast Guinea, West

Africa (Figure 1). Nortec entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire an 80% interest in pro-rata stages

in the Tomboko Gold Property, held by The Golden Rule Limited. Nortec will also earn an 80% interest in

all of TGR’s interests in other exploration permits located in Guinea.

TGR’s properties consist of a 100% interest in the Tomboko permit, a 100% interest in the Diguifara Permit

and minority interests in the Badamako and the Kouroussa permits. These land holdings cover prospective

ground on three separate mineralised trends. Details on the Tomboko, Diguifara, Badamako and Kouroussa

permits are in the Company’s January 11and February 10, 2017 news releases.

The permits are in the northern part of the Birimian Siguiri Basin, a well -known prolific gold producing

area. This part of the Basin already hosts three multi-million ounce gold mines, the Lero (Nord Gold NV),

the SAG (AngloGold -Ashanti) and the Keniéro (SEMAFO) along with several other lesser mines and

projects in advanced stages. Historically, the Niger River lowlands have been the site of extensive mining

of alluvial gold and high-grade quartz lode gold in the saprolite (rock altered to clay) that gave rise to several

past African Empires. Artisanal mining is still very widespread in the area

Mohan Vulimiri, CEO commented “The consistency of the gold anomalies defined by termite mound and

soil sampling on Tomboko supported by rock chip ‘grab’ samples averaging 5.9 g/t Au (17 samples) and

11g/t Au (10 samples) in two parallel trends at TOM -1 provides Nortec with a set o f very robust initial

targets for our first round of drilling.”

The Company signed a drill contract with Gestion Fredal SARL, a drilling company located in

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Drill pads and access roads are being constructed in preparation for drilling

with several drill pads already completed. The Company plans to drill 31 shallow reverse circulation drill

holes for a total of 2500 metres on the Tom-1 North, Tom-1 South and Tom-2 targets (Figures 2 & 3) .

Drilling is expected to commence in two weeks. Nortec has a management and technical team in place on

site to monitor and supervise the drill program.

The gold mineralization on the Tom -1 and Tom -2 targets is hosted in highly altered, sheared brecciated

sandstone and volcanic rocks of the early Paleoproterozoic age Siguiri Basin. The SAG Mine is also hosted

in the same age rocks. The Tom-3 Prospect is hosted in quartz porphyry intrusive rocks. The mode of

occurrence of the gold mineralization at Tom-3 is similar to the 2.3 million ounce Koulékoun deposit located

120 kilometres to the south which is owned by Avocet Mining, a company listed on the London Stock

Exchange,.

Mohan R. Vulimiri, M.Sc., P.Geo, Director of Nortec and CEO of Nortec Minerals, is a Qualified Person as

defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Vulimiri has approved the corporate and technical content contained in this press

release. All the bedrock and termite mound samples were analysed by SGS Labs, an accredited laboratory

in Bamako, Mali. A blank was inserted every 20th sample for quality control.
