Normabec Mining Resources Limited ("NORMABEC" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:NMB)(FRANKFURT:N6M) is pleased to announce all remaining results from
its last 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.  Most holes targeted extensions of known mineralized zones and
more specifically zones 1 and 2 located in the eastern portion of the property. 
Hole PG2008-09 was an in-fill hole and hole PG2008-11 targeted the depth
extension of the known mineralization.  All other holes tested the extension
towards surface of the known zones (above 400 metres).


It should be noted that shallow historical drilling on Pitt Gold (in the 50's)
mostly tested the immediate footwall of the Porcupine-Destor break (within 100 m
of the fault).  Normabec's recent drilling successes, above the 400 metre level,
have mostly been obtained further away from the fault (up to 300 metres to the
north) in an area that remains poorly explored.


Significant results from the first two holes: PG2008-08 (11.52 g/t Au over 5 m)
and PG2008-09 (9.13 g/t Au over 11 m) were published earlier this year (see
Press Release Jan 6th, 2009).  The following table gives the results for the
remaining seven holes:

Intersections above 1 g/t Au are very often found within gold anomalous halos
much larger than the individual higher grade intervals.  The significant gold
assays obtained in PG2008-15 have been cut along the up dip extension of the
known structures.  In fact, no gold value higher than 30 g/t Au was ever cut
above the 300 metre level on the property before this hole.  Except for hole
PG2008-11 which cut the zones at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, core
angles range from 80 to 90 degrees meaning that core length is almost identical
to true thickness.


Considering that fact that most of the holes of the last program were targeting
extensions of know veins (not in-fill drilling), these results are significant. 
For instance, the interval obtained in PG2008-15 (12.15 g/t Au over 6.5 m, cut
at approximately 250 metres from surface) is entirely open towards surface.


Normabec is now initiating a compilation phase to outline new drilling targets. 
Giving the latest exciting results, it appears obvious that shallow drilling
will have to be performed to follow up on the near surface extensions of the
veins.


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.
