[{"type":"text","content":"Nortec Minerals reports Assays, Phase 1 drilling, Tom 1 North - Priority 1 Target, Tomboko Gold Property, Northeast Guinea, West Africa(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC / TheNewswire / January 3, 2018 - Nortec Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: NVT; OTC-PK: NMNZF) (the \"Company\" or \"Nortec\") - Nortec announces results from seven diamond core holes on the Tom 1 Target, Tomboko Project, Northeastern Guinea, West Africa (Figure 1). Five holes, TBDD003, 004, 005, 006 and 007 were drilled on Priority 1 Target (Figures 3 and 4) and two drill holes TBDD0001 and 002 were drilled on Priority 3 Target (Figure 3). \n\n \n \nHighlights\n\n \n \n\n\n- Assay results received from hole TBDD0007 include:\n\n\n\n \n \nCut-off 0.5 g/t and up to 2m internal dilution\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n- 9m at 2.74 g/t gold from 32m, including 3.57m at 3.91 g/t from 36m.\n\n\n\n- 7m at 3.57 g/t gold from 43m, including 1m at 17.1 g/t from 45m.\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \nCut-off 0.2 g/t and 2m internal dilution\n\n\n \n\n\n- 19m at 2.64 g/t from 31m. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n- Results define a significant orogenic gold system with both narrow high grade intervals and wide lower grade intervals opening up to the Southeast with drill hole TBDD0007. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n- The gold system trending and raking to the Southeast, and is open down dip and to the Southeast.\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n- Drilling commencing from TBDD0003, 0004, 0005 and 0006 from the Northwest on the Priority 1 Target shows the gold values increasing to the Southeast (Table 1).\n\n\n\n \n \nThe core drilling program was halted pending receipt of the assays from the seven drill holes. This allowed to both conserve funds and time to interpret the geology and plan the next drilling phase. With the receipt of significant results in the last hole, TBDD0007, the next phase of drilling is expected to commence in late January 2018 to define and delineate the Priority 1 Target to the Southeast. This drilling will consist of less expensive Rotary Air Blast (RAB) and Reverse Circulation Drilling (RC). The drilling will also test the rest of the termite mound anomalies, geochemical soil and termite mound anomalies, as well as artisanal workings on the Tom 1, Tom 2 and Tom 3 targets. This is intended to further assist in defining target areas for carrying out an exploration program in a cost-efficient manner. \n\n \n \nMohan Vulimiri, CEO and ...
