(TSX-V: NVT; FSE: WMQ; OTC PINK: NMNZF) (\"Nortec\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce that the Company completed airborne Time Domain Electromagnetic Geophysical Survey with a Bfield-VTEM System and Magnetic Gradiometer (\"VTEM) on the Karhujupukka Iron-Titanium-Vanadium (\"Fe-Ti-V\") Nickel-Copper-Palladium-Platinum-Gold (\"Ni-Cu-PGE-Au\") Project located in northern Finland. Nortec signed an Option Agreement with Akkerman Exploration B.V. (\"AEbv\") to earn an undivided 80% interest in the Karhujupukka Property. Details can be referred to in the Company's press releases.\n\n\n \nThe deep-penetrating VTEM survey will help delineate potential deep-seated conductive zones which could represent magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulphide bodies near the contact of the lower layers of ultramafic intrusions with the favourable Archean shield rocks composed of migmatites, pelitic and quartzitic metasediments. The recent discovery of Sakatti Ni-Cu-PGE deposit by Anglo American Mining in similar geological environment in Northern Finland attests to the fact that potential exists for the occurrence of magmatic massive sulphide deposits.\n\n\n \nGeotech's VTEM system has been shown to locate discrete conductive anomalies as well as mapping lateral and vertical variations in resistivity. The VTEM plus system is equipped with a high-sensitivity magnetic gradiometer for mapping geologic structure and lithology. Geotech is a leading innovator in the airborne electromagnetics industry through the development of new and progressive airborne geophysical technologies.\n\n\n \nThe results are expected in the next couple of weeks. If the results show distinct conductive bodies, detailed target drilling will be initiated.\n\n\n \nThe Karhujupukka project is located in northwestern Finland, about 20 kilometers southeast of Kolari and 150 kilometers northwest of Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland. Karhujupukka is one of the few known magnetite-ilmenite deposits in Finland. The Swedish border passes 10km West of the area, together with a railroad connection to port and the industrial ...
