(TSX-V: NVT; FSE: WMQ; OTC-PK: NMNZF) (\"Nortec\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce the start-up of the diamond core drilling on the Marttalanniemi zone, and the follow-up diamond drilling in the areas with anomalous gold values from bedrock sampling on the Saarikoski Gold Zone, Seinaajoki Gold Project, Southwestern Finland. The Saarikoski Zone is located 3.5 kilometres to the southeast of the Tulisilmaa target and 3 kilometres south-southwest of the Marttalanniemi zone. \n\n \n \nPrevious diamond core drilling carried out by Nortec in 2010 on the Marttalanniemi zone returned significant results (shown below):\n\n \n \n-87.4 metres @ 0.90 g/t Gold from 0.6 metres, including 4 metres @ 13.52 g/t Gold from 52 metres and 1 metre @ 50.1 g/t Gold from 52 metres (Hole MTL10-007)\n\n\n \n-99.0 metres @ 0.50 g/t Gold from 12.0 metres, including 19 metres @ 1.24 g/t gold from 59 metres (Hole MTL10-001) \n\n\n \n-68.5 metres @ 0.58 g/t Gold from 1.5 metres, including 12 metres @ 1.39 g/t from 12 metres and 14.95 metres @ 1.08 g/t gold from 49 metres (Hole MTL10-004)\n\n \n \nThe high grade intersection in Hole MTL10-007 is being followed up with drilling down-dip. The new drill hole is set up 50 metres behind the Hole MTL10-007. Holes will also be planned along strike.\n\n \n \nThe Phase Two till and bedrock sampling program consisted of several sub-parallel sampling lines on strike as well as the area in between the anomalous samples identified in the Phase One program completed in June 2012. Sampling was carried out with percussion drilling every 50 metres on several cross lines with one bedrock sample and one till sample in each hole over an area of 4 kilometres by 2.5 kilometres in the northwest direction. 106 bedrock samples and 104 till samples just above the bedrock samples were collected and analysed by Labtium Oy, a certified Finnish Government company based in Espoo and Kuopio, Finland. \n\n \n \nSampling from several cross lines from both phases on the Saarikoski Zone returned gold values in the range of 9 parts per billion (ppb) t...
