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.
