Nortec announces 70% Interest Earn-in, Kaukua Platinum – Palladium – Gold (PGE + Au) – Nickel – Copper Property, Northeastern Finland

Vancouver, B.C., September 4, 2008: Nortec Ventures Corp. (TSX-V:NVT), ("Nortec" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce completion of 70% interest earn-in in the Kaukua Platinum – Palladium – Gold (PGE + Au) – Nickel – Copper Property, Northeastern Finland from Akkerman Exploration B.V. (“AEbv”), a private company based in the Netherlands. Nortec incurred exploration expenditures of € 700,000 to date on the Kaukua property. Nortec has an option to earn another 10% interest by spending € 2,500,000 in exploration expenditures or completing a feasibility study, whichever is completed earlier. Nortec intends to exercise its option to increase its interest to 80%.

The Phase III drilling program is on-going with 14 holes completed (holes Kau08-015 to 29) totalling 3,100 metres (“m”). Most of the holes were drilled to the south of the area of Phase I and II drilling. The Phase III holes are designed to trace and establish the mineralization down dip and along strike. The attached figures show the location of holes drilled to date and two type sections through the mineralized zone. The Phase III drilling will also evaluate the geophysical chargeability anomalies identified in the Three Dimension Induced Polarization (“3D-IP”) survey, recently completed by SJ-Geophysics

Results will be released as they are received. The analyses are performed by Labtium Oy, a Finnish Government owned company based in Espoo and Rovaniemi, Finland. The analyses are taking longer than anticipated as the laboratory has been operating on a part-time basis over the summer holidays.

The drilling contract signed with Nivalan Drilling has been extended with a minimum additional 5000m, to be completed over the next few months. The next set of drill holes is being planned and will be aimed at possible extensions of the mineralization in southern and southwestern direction, coincident with an area of high chargeability as defined by the 3D-IP survey.

The Phase I and Phase II programs consisted of 14 holes totaling 2,188m ranging in depth from 100 to 200m covering an area 600m by 250m. 13 of the 14 holes returned significant mineralization with an average width of 30m. The Phase III drilling program is designed to extend the mineralization area by approximately 200m on strike and 200m down-dip for a total area of about 800m by 450m.

Detailed drilling and IP results to date and information on the Kaukua Property can be referred to on the Company’s website www.nortecventures.com and the previous press releases.
