February 25, 2008: North American Gem Inc. (TSX-V symbol: NAG) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2008 diamond drilling program on the Company's Louise Lake Project. The road-accessible property is located 35 kilometers west of Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, a full-service community with excellent access to highway, rail and electrical infrastructure.

The Louise Lake property hosts the "Main Zone" deposit, consisting of an unusual mineral assemblage, with copper occurring as an equal mixture of enargite and chalcopyrite. The 2004 through 2007 programs extended the known dimensions of the east-west striking, moderately north-dipping tabular Main Zone to a length of 970 meters, with widths to 170 meters. The zone extends to a depth of about 270 meters, where it is abruptly truncated by the flat-lying "Terminator" fault.

A total of 5,042.8 meters in 16 holes was completed in 2008, focusing on two main target settings. The first consists of higher grade gold values, as well as higher gold: copper ratios, identified in northeastern portions of the Main Zone, particularly from Hole LL-07-18B. Here, a value of 0.769 gpt gold with 0.48% copper was returned from a 26.1-metre intercept from 288.8 to 314.9 meters of depth, part of a 40.0-metre interval grading 0.625 g/t gold with 0.41% copper (News Release, May 9, 2007). Five holes targeting the potential strike extension of this were completed; four returned typical Main Zone-style mineralization with visually determined intercepts ranging from 67.8 to 241.5 meters.

The other main setting consisted of mineralization beneath the flat-lying "Terminator" fault. Year-2007 results from Hole LL-07-15, collared northwest of the Main Zone, revealed "low-grade sub-Terminator" mineralization having a similar fabric and geochemical signature to the Main Zone. This was the first intercept of sub-Terminator mineralization, suggesting the underlying "fixed" portion of the Main Zone deposit occurs further northwest.

Five holes, collared progressively northwestward from this intercept, tested the underlying "fixed" portion. As of February 7th, three of four holes completed successfully intersected sub-Terminator mineralization, with intercepts from 50 to 65 meters in length of "Main Zone"-style alteration and quartz veining. Since then, Hole LL-08-33, collared a further 180 meters northwest of the previous westernmost hole (LL-08-29) returned a 27-metre intercept of more pronounced "Main Zone"-style mineralization with strong alteration. The base of this is another "Terminator"-style fault; minor mineralization and moderate alteration extends beneath this also.

Detailed core logging of Hole LL-08-26, the "fourth" hole previously believed to be barren, also revealed minor sub-Terminator copper mineralization across about 15 meters with minor molybdenite extending a further 20 meters. These results indicate the 2008 program successfully identified the direction of movement of the rafted block hosting the Main Zone, and that additional sub-Terminator mineralization likely occurs west of the western limit of 2008 drilling. Analytical results of all holes are pending.

This News Release was reviewed and approved by Carl Schulze, BSc, PGeo, Qualified Person for the project, in accordance with regulations under National Instrument 43-101. All sample analysis will be completed by ALS Chemex of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The diamond drilling program was conducted by Britton Brothers Diamond Drilling of Smithers, British Columbia.
