Ganarin is a low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver deposit located in southern Ecuador 65 km southwest of Cuenca. The Ganarin property is subject to option and joint venture agreements with Doubloon Exploration Corp. whereby, Nortec has the option to acquire 51% interest in the Ganarin property. Ganarin property is situated in the prolific Ganarin Mineral Belt, near IMAGOLD Corporation's 3.4 million ounce Quimsacocha gold property and Channel Resources' El Mozo gold property.
Trenching with systematic channel sampling has been carried out. Four areas of interest were identified on the project: Chamana zone, Rio Minas zone, Chuscuyacu zone and Loma La Cruz zone.
The initial results suggest that the Ganarin property could potentially host several mineralized gold-silver shoots with bonanza grades. The Company is planning an extensive drill program.
An initial (Phase 1) diamond drill core program of 1,614 metres testing the Chamana breccia zone, Rio Minas and Loma La Cruz zones was completed on November 29, 2006.

In April 2005, Nortec entered into an option agreement with Doubloon Exploration Corp. to acquire a 70% interest in the Condorcocha project located in Azuay Province, Ecuador. The Condorcocha Project, consisting of six properties, is situated in the prolific Ganarin Mineral Belt near IMAGOLD Corporation's Quimsacocha gold property and Channel Resources' El Mozo gold property.
The Company has initiated work programs consisting of geochemical soil sampling. Geological mapping on a scale of 1:1000 is also being carried out. These surveys will assist in the delineation of potential drill targets and interpretation of structural controls of precious metal mineralization on the project.
 
(3) Kaukua Platinum-Palladium-Gold Property, Finland

Nortec signed a Memorandum of Understanding on July 26, 2007, with Akkerman Exploration B.V. to earn an undivided 70% interest in the Kaukua Platinum-Palladium-Gold Property. The Kaukua Platinum-Palladium-Gold Property is located approximately 20 km north of the Company's Koillismaa-Naranka Nickel-Copper-PGE project, northeastern Finland, near North American Palladium's Portimo Project.
Geological Survey of Finland carried out detailed field work in 1999 and 2004. The sulphide mineralization in Kaukua is particularly rich in platinum group metals and gold. Nortec has just completed a 7 hole drill program on the Kaukua Property.
The first year exploration program will consist of:
-
Compilation and interpretation of all geological, geophysical and drilling data
-
Geological mapping, geophysical (induced polarization) surveys, trenching, and
-
1,000 metres of core drilling.
Base Metals
(1) TL Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Property, Labrador

The TL property is a nickel-copper-cobalt discovery located 70 km west of the coastal town of Nain in the Tasisuak Lake area of northern Labrador, Canada. CVRD's (formerly INCO) large nickel-copper-cobalt mine at Voisey's Bay is located about 50 km to the southeast. The property consists of 100 contiguous claims, contained in two Exploration Licenses, covering 2,500 hectares. In March 2003 Nortec optioned the TL property from Vulcan Minerals of Saint John's, Newfoundland. Nortec can earn up to a 100% interest in the TL property, at its option, may earn a 51% interest by incurring exploration expenditures of $1.5 million by March 17, 2009.
Very significant results were obtained from a 2005 drill hole. In April 10, 2007, Nortec announced that there would be future plans for a helicopter-borne TDEM survey of the TL property, based upon equipment availability.

The Koillismaa-Naranka Nickel-Copper-PGE project is located in northeastern Finland, some 50 km south of the city of Kuusamo. In June 2006 Nortec signed a joint venture option agreement with Akkerman Exploration B.V. of the Netherlands whereby Nortec has the right to earn up to 70% undivided interest in the Koillismaa-Naranka project.
The Paleoproterozoic Koillismaa-Naranka complex constitutes one of the largest mafic igneous systems in Scandinavia. Akkerman Exploration B.V. controls a series of claim reservations and exploration licenses totaling 65.5 sq.km.
Three priority areas, Naranka, Pyhitis and Musta, have been identified on the Koillismaa-Naranka mafic complex by structural geology studies, geochemical and geophysical surveys.
The systematic airborne, deep penetrating VTEM (time-domain electromagnetic system) survey over the landholdings controlled by Akkerman Exploration B.V. was completed. A minimum 2,500 to 3,000 metre drill program has commenced on May 30, 2007 on the Koillismaa-Naranka Nickel-Copper-PGE project.
