The Pitt Gold property continues to deliver significant gold values. Most of these intervals are either related to zone 1 (which can be followed for 400 m X 350 m) or zone 2 (which can be traced for 400 m X 400 m) or other satellite zones to the above.

The company recently mobilized a drill rig on the property and intends to complete approximately 4,000 metres of drilling before the end of the year. Drilling is being performed on a semi-systematic 50 X 50 meter grid in order to properly define zones 1 and 2 and other structures identified in previous program.

Samples were prepared and assayed at Laboratoire Expert of Rouyn-Noranda 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 1 g/t Au are systematically re-assayed.

The 2008 drilling program is being carried out under the supervision of Mr. Pierre O'Dowd, geologist and Qualified Person as per National Instrument 43-101.

Following the completion of its latest drilling program, Normabec acquired 100% interest in the Pitt Gold property. The interests retained by the former owners (SOQUEM INC. and GeoNova) has been each converted into a 1% NSR Royalty.

Normabec is a junior mining exploration company with a portfolio of advanced exploration projects including: the Pitt Gold Project in Quebec and the Real de Catorce Silver Project in Mexico.
