ST-BRUNO, QUEBEC (FRANKFURT: N6M) ("Normabec" or "the Company"),
through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary Minera Real Bonanza
S.A. de C.V. ("MRB"), is pleased to announce additional high grade
silver results from its on going surface and underground drilling
programs on the Veta Madre structure at the Real de Catorce Silver
project in north-central Mexico.
Underground Drilling:
High grade intersections continue to be generated from both
surface and underground drilling (as highlighted by hole VMP-11,
which returned 605 g/t Ag, 1.21% Pb, 1.55% Zn over 5.3m) The
results below (in tabular form) relate to the ongoing drilling
program that is being carried out to delineate the depth extension
of the Purisima oreshoot. This portion of the Veta Madre structure
carries bonanza grade silver as well as important base metal
credits. The drilling zone is located below historical mine
workings, and confirms the extension of the silver mineralization.
The Purisima oreshoot remains wide open to the west and at
depth.
In addition to the Veta Madre intercepts, drilling along the
Purisima depth extension is yielding interesting results from the
Refugio vein as well as other footwall and hangingwall veins to the
Veta Madre.

Surface Drilling:
Systematic surface drilling of the Veta Madre structure
continues to yield the expected silver grade mineralization.
In-fill drilling is being performed at 40-50m spacing, from surface
down to the 150 metre level approximately. The following table
shows the latest results obtained from surface drilling along a
productive portion of the Veta Madre structure.

With respect to the success of the drilling program to date, the
Company's President Robert Ayotte commented; "we are very pleased
with the results received thus far, the drilling performed both at
surface and at depth has been very successful as a vast majority of
intercepts in the Veta Madre structure are above 200 g/t Ag over a
minimum true width of 2.0 m with several achieving bonanza grade
status (above 1,000 g/t Ag)."
Mr. Ayotte also stated, "with the systematic drilling success we
have had to date, the Company believes it is both prudent and
practical at this stage to undertake an independent resource
calculation on the mineralized structures that drilling has thus
far identified. We have already mobilized resources to initiate
this process and would expect a 43-101 compliant mineral inventory
to be completed later this year.".
Samples were prepared and assayed at Chemex Lab of Guadalajara,
Mexico. Methods used are Au-ICP21 for gold and ME-ICP41 for multi
elements including silver. Detection limits for Ag are 0.2 - 100
ppm. Silver values higher than 100 ppm are submitted to method
AG-AA46 consisting of aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES or AA
finish (up to 1,500 ppm Ag). QAQC was performed using two silver
standards and one blank being introduced alternatively (every 25
samples). Duplicates are being performed by the laboratory.
This press release was reviewed and approved by Pierre O'Dowd,
geologist and qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 of the
Canadian Securities Administrators.
Normabec is a junior mining exploration company with a portfolio
of advanced projects including: the Pitt Gold project in Quebec and
Real de Catorce Silver project in Mexico.
