Nortec Minerals Corp. announced the results from the first 3 drill holes from the Phase V drilling program on the company's Lantinen Koillismaa palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel project (LK Project) in north central Finland. The LK palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel project was optioned to Finore Mining Corp. to earn an 80% interest by making payments of $10.5 million and work expenditures totaling $10 million over 3 years. Finore is carrying out the Phase V work program. These drill results extend the known palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel (PGE+Au-Cu-Ni) mineralization on the Haukiaho Target (Haukiaho), situated in the southern part of the LK Project. Drilling began in November 2011 focusing on the central-western mineralization at Haukiaho, known as the Torkoaho Zone. To date, a total of 12 holes have been geologically and geotechnically logged with zones of potential mineralization selected for sampling and assaying. The Torkoaho Zone had a total of 7 historic drill holes that were scattered along a strike of 1 km. A significant portion of the current 10,000 metre (m) Phase V drill programme at LK has been designed to target the 3,700m strike and down-dip extension of mineralization at Haukiaho to upgrade the Inferred Mineral Resource estimated by Watts, Griffis and McQuat (WGM) as part of the NI 43-101 technical report submitted to Finore. The LK Project is located, 660 km north of the capital Helsinki, 65 km south of the Arctic Circle. The project is well serviced by power, roads and water allowing all season access. The LK Project consists of the Kaukua, Lipeavaara, Murtolampi and Haukiaho Targets. The LK project has a combined surface area of over 3,750 hectares and covers PGE+Au-Cu-Ni mineralized horizons known as the 'Marginal Series' that are hosted within a sequence of mafic and ultramafic layered intrusions belonging to the Koillismaa layered ultramafic complex. Palladium, Platinum, Gold, Copper and Nickel assays were received for drill holes Hau11-002 (Hole 2), Hau11-003 (Hole 3) and Hau11-004 (Hole4). Drill hole Hau11-001 (Hole 1) was abandoned at 45m, after encountering difficult ground conditions. Hole 2 was collared 10m to the south of Hole 1 and intersected a 44m wide zone of PGE+Au-Cu-Ni mineralization, from 58m., including a 13m thick high-grade embayment zone with a 20 to 35% increase in grade for all 5 metals. Hole 2 is the most western drill hole at Haukiaho and confirms that mineralization is open along strike and down dip. A future hole is scheduled to test the mineralization down dip. Hole 3 was drilled 100m east of Hole 2, but did not intersect the mineralized host rock (gabbro) before entering the quartz-albite basement rock. With the new information, a new hole will be collared 100 m to the north of Hole 3 and along strike of the mineralization intersected in Hole 2 and Hole 4. Hole 4 was drilled to target the mineralization down dip of GTK hole R392, 200m east of Hole 2 and 100m east of Hole 3. Although the Marginal Series is narrower, the grades of the precious and base metals are similar to the higher grade embayment zone encountered in Hole 2.
