Normabec Mining Resources Limited ("NORMABEC" or the "Company")
(TSX VENTURE: NMB)(FRANKFURT: N6M) is pleased to announce the first
results from its fall drilling program on the Pitt Gold property,
located along the Porcupine-Destor Break, some 35 km north of
Rouyn-Noranda, in the Abitibi region of Quebec.
From October to December 2008, Normabec completed 9 holes for a
total of 5,180 metres of core. All holes targeted extensions of
known mineralized zones and more specifically zones 1 and 2 located
in the eastern portion of the property.

Of note, in both of the holes reported above, significant widths
and grades are now being returned from zone 1 (11.52 g/t Au over 5
m and 9.13 g/t Au over 11 m). The Company estimates that true
widths are approximately 80% of the core lengths indicated above.
These two holes were drilled 100 metres apart with hole PG2008-05
located in between (see below). Results are pending for the
remaining seven holes of this program.
These excellent results follow on a series of outstanding
intersections reported in early 2008 (please see Press Releases
dated Feb. 28 and March 18) from the winter drilling program
undertaken in the same area (10.43 g/t Au over 3.0 m in PG2008-01,
35.2 g/t Au over 5.0 m in PG2007-07, 21.04 g/t Au over 2.0 m and
31.75 g/t Au over 1.5 m in PG2008-05). Mineralization at Pitt Gold
can be followed laterally for 500 metres and vertically for 800
metres, and remains open at depth. Notably, as is common within the
prolific Porcupine-Destor region, a large majority of high grade
values are found below the 300 meter level.
In the fall of 2008, Normabec acquired the remaining 20%
interest in the Pitt Gold property from SOQUEM Inc. and GeoNova
Exploration Inc. The interests retained by the former owners have
been converted into a 1% NSR royalty to each. The royalty can be
bought back for $1 million.
Samples were prepared and assayed at Technilab of Sainte
Germaine de Boule and were subjected to fire assay with AA finish.
Normabec has implemented a QAQC program which includes systematic
use of standards, blanks and duplicates. Values above 3 g/t Au are
systematically re-assayed.
The 2008 drilling program was carried out under the supervision
of Mr. Pierre O'Dowd, geologist and Qualified Person as per
National Instrument 43-101.
Normabec is a junior mining exploration company with a portfolio
of advanced exploration projects including: the 100% owned Pitt
Gold Project in Quebec and the 100% owned Real de Catorce Silver
Project in Mexico.
