VANCOUVER, Sept. 6 /CNW/ - Further to the press release dated May 8, 2006, Nortec Ventures Corp., ("Nortec" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the commencement of helicopter-borne, deep penetrating Time-Domain Electromagnetic and Magnetic surveys on the Koillismaa - Naranka Nickel-Copper-PGE project ("Koillismaa - Naranka") located in Northeastern Finland. The geophysical contract was signed with SkyTEM Aps, a Danish airborne-geophysical survey company based in Aarhus, Denmark. SkyTEM's Time Domain Electromagnetic system with a central loop configuration is designed to provide high resolution to delineate conductivity contrasts, and a large penetration depth. A total of 1223 kilometres is being flown on the Joint Venture reservation and claims area with a line spacing of 100 metres and the control lines at 1000 metres. The survey is expected to take around 8 to 10 days with receipt of the preliminary results and interpretation towards the end of September 2006. Condor Consulting of Lakewood, Colorado, USA, will assist in the interpretation and recommendations for further work. This survey will assist in locating massive sulphide targets directly from potential airborne anomalies. If successful, the survey will be followed by scout diamond core drilling of approximately 4,000 metres. The initial program expenditures for the geophysical surveys are expected to be around (euro)150,000. In June 2006, the Company entered into an option agreement with Akkerman Exploration B.V. ("AEbv"), of the Netherlands to form a 70:30 joint venture on the Koillismaa - Naranka project. The Koillismaa-Naranka complex is one of the largest mafic igneous systems in the Scandinavian shield, comprising the Narankavaara ultramafic funnel-shaped dike in the east, and the Koillismaa layered intrusion in the west. AEbv controls three claim reservations and has applied for 23 exploration licences (2 of which have already been granted), together covering a surface area of approximately 36 square kilometres over the most prospective central part of the Naranka dike and part of the Koillismaa layered intrusion (Portivaara block). Past exploration on the Portivaara block was limited to short diamond drilling programs by Outokumpu, the Geological Survey and North Atlantic Nickel during the period 1960-2003. These programs were mainly focused on the nickel-copper-PGE mineralization along the shallow-dipping basal contact of the layered sequence. Numerous previous drill holes through these basal series returned values as high as 51.5 metres of 0.36% copper, 0.23% nickel and 0.78 gram platinum plus palladium plus gold. Information on previous diamond drilling, as well as the geophysical survey areas can be referred to on the Company's website, www.nortecventures.com. The potential for deeper nickel-sulphide mineralization in feeder dikes into the layered series was not tested. Examples of such feeder dike hosted mineralization occur in the Monchegorsk layered intrusive complex of the same age and similar setting in the Russian part of the craton. Massive nickel sulphide veins with grades as high as 2% to 6% nickel, 1 to 12% copper and significant PGE were mined by Severonikel between 1930-1970 from this complex. Basal disseminated nickel mineralization similar to that of the Koillismaa complex, with grades of 0.29% nickel, 0.14% copper over 40 to 50 metres, occurs near the basal contact of the Monchegorsk intrusion.

Principal Target Areas

Three priority areas, Naranka, Pyhitys and Musta, have been identified on the Koillismaa - Naranka mafic complex by structural geology studies, geochemical and geophysical surveys.

Naranka Target Area:

The eastern Naranka dike exhibits similar geological characteristics and setting to the Jinchuan deposit in China with reserves of 515 million tonnes grading 1.06% nickel. Geochemical and petrological work at Naranka suggests depletion of nickel in the magma with potential for magmatic segregation and settling of nickel sulphide in the deeper portions of the system. The Naranka dike extends over a length of 25km and continues several kilometers across the border into Russia.

Pyhitys Target Area:

The Pyhitys Target Area covers the eastern end of the Portivaara Block, where it overlies the end of a major gravity anomaly, interpreted to represent a staging magma chamber. Mineralization along the basal contact at Pyhitys has the highest nickel to copper ratios in the entire Koillismaa complex suggesting proximity to possible feeder channels.

Musta Target Area:

The Musta Target Area is located about 5 kilometres west of the the Pyhitys Target Area and covers a large gabbro intrusion below the basal contact of the Koillismaa complex. This could be due to a cross-cutting feeder structure of the layered Koillismaa intrusion. The area also includes a cluster of unexplained EM anomalies.

Favourable environment and support for mining, Finland

The company is looking forward to working in Finland because of the favourable environment and support for the development of exploration and mining projects. Commenting on the establishment of the Koillismaa - Naranka joint venture, Mr. Taneli Saari, Leader of "Invest in Finland" 's mining industry team, said "This is further indication of Finland's attractiveness as a location for mining operations. In addition to the high-quality information available from the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), we have a well-developed infrastructure, skilled people, and a positive attitude to new mining projects."
