Nortec Announces 14m @ 1.02% Nickel from TL (Tasisuak Lake) Property, Labrador

Nortec Ventures Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NVT), ("Nortec" or the "Company"), is pleased
to announce that the recent summer drill program at Tasisuak Lake in Labrador
has encountered significant Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co) mineralization
highlighted as follows:


- 14 metres of 1.02% Ni, 0.51% Cu, 0.03% Co (Hole 08-AA-60)

- 9 metres of 1.02% Ni, 0.55% Cu, 0.04% Co (Hole 08-LP-55)

- 3 metres of 1.04% Ni, 0.38 Cu, 0.03% Co (Hole 08-LP-56)

- 3 metres of 1.01% Ni, 0.39% Cu, 0.04% Co (Hole 08-AA-62)

The drill program consisted of 1960 metres of diamond coring over 18 holes. The
program was designed to test a variety of surface showings and VTEM geophysical
anomalies.


The Property consists of 219 contiguous claims, contained in four Exploration
Licenses, covering 5,475 hectares. In March 2003 Nortec optioned the TL Property
from Vulcan Minerals Inc. ("Vulcan") of Saint John's, Newfoundland. Nortec can
earn up to a 51% interest in the TL Property by incurring exploration
expenditures of $1.5 million by March 17, 2009.

Drill holes 63, 67-72 tested a series of VTEM Anomalies in the B, F and A zones
and did not encounter any significant nickel-copper mineralization. However,
three of the holes did encounter a massive pyrrhotite zone up to 3 meters in
thickness with gold enrichment of 1 gram/tonne over 2 metres in hole 68. As
well, some zones of anomalous platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) were encountered.
Hole 63 encountered the thickest gabbroic body over 69.4 metres though no
significant mineralization was encountered.


All core samples were cut in half in the field by diamond saw, packaged and
sealed in the field and shipped to Accurassay Laboratories receiving facility in
Gambo South, NL where they were prepared and forwarded to the main lab in
Thunder Bay, ON. One half of the core samples are preserved for further
analysis. Samples were tested for 30 elements (including base metals) with an
ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) process. Samples exceeding detection limits
were processed for ore grade analysis with an AA (Atomic Absorption) process.
All samples were also analyzed for Au, Pt and Pd with a fire assay process.
QA/QC was maintained by the laboratory by running duplicates and repeats, and
also with blind duplicates inserted into the sample stream directly from the
field.


The Tasisuak Lake property is situated approximately 50 kilometres northwest of
the world class Voisey Bay nickel-copper-cobalt mine. The property covers
significant outcrops of Tasiuyak gneisses hosting mafic intrusions which contain
the nickel-copper mineralization. The genesis and style of mineralization
remains unexplained in the context of the regional setting and timing of
emplacement. The Company plans to carry out geochemical and petrographic
analysis of the mineralization and host rocks to answer these questions and
assist in further exploration of the property.


The property contains many untested geophysical anomalies and surface showings.
The C-zone mineralization remains open in a north-south direction in excess of 5
kilometers based on its geophysical signature. The Company is encouraged by
these drill results and notes that they are some of the highest grade over width
nickel-copper intersections drilled in Labrador outside of Voisey's Bay.


Kingurutik Property

As part of the recently signed agreement between Nortec and Vulcan, Nortec
commissioned Geotech Ltd. ("Geotech") to carry out a 417 line-km
helicopter-borne geophysical survey for Nortec over the Kingurutik River
Property, 70km north of the Tasisuak Lake property. The airborne geophysics
consisted of a versatile time domain electromagnetic ("VTEM") survey and total
magnetic intensity ("TMI") using a cesium magnetometer.


There are 5 main anomalies identified from the geophysical survey. Three of
these anomalies are located in the north central part of the claim and have E-W
trending conductors with coincident magnetic highs possibly related to metallic
mineralization in the form of mixed magnetite and pyrrhotite dominated
sulphides.


As part of a first pass exploration drill program, 3 holes were drilled for a
total of 321metres. The holes targeted the potential near-surface mineralization
and coincident geophysical anomaly on Prospect A.
