Normabec: Drilling at Real de Catorce in Mexico returns 3,622 G/T (106 OZ/T) AG, 1.27% PB and 0.18% ZN over 4.30 metres

St-Bruno, Quebec, May 27th, 2008. Normabec Mining Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: NMB)(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 and base metal results from its surface and underground drilling programs on the Veta Madre structure at the Real de Catorce Silver project in north-central Mexico.

High grade intersections continue to be generated from both surface and underground drilling as highlighted by hole VMS-39, which returned 3,622 g/t (106 oz/t) Ag, 1.27 % Pb and 0.18 % Zn over 4.30 m; hole VMS-38, which returns 389 g/t (11.35 oz/t) Ag over 13.10 m and hole VMP-27 which intersected 279 g/t (8.14 oz/t) Ag, 1.08 % Pb and 1.07 % Zn over 5.80 m.

Underground Drilling:

Only results from one hole were obtained lately. Holes VMP-25 and VMP-28 were abandoned for technical reasons (strong deviations). Results from VMP-26 have not been received yet.

VMP-27, which is located between VMP-13 and VMP-09, is one of the deepest intersections within the Purisima oreshoot. These results confirm that the mineralization is still open at depth.

Surface Drilling:

The following table shows the latest results obtained from surface drilling along a productive portion of the Veta Madre structure.

Hole VMS-39 returned exceptional silver and lead grades when compared to the bulk of the holes drilled from surface. These results confirm the presence of a high grade core centred around VMS-08, 09, 12, 38 and 39. Of significance is the fact that that area was not extensively mined out in the past.

The process to obtain a 43-101 compliant resource estimate on the two drilled out areas on Veta Madre (surface and Purisima shoot) is well underway. Results are expected by the end of June. It is important to note that the drilled out areas on Veta Madre cover less than 50% of the potential extent of the vein.

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.

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.
