News ReleaseNorth American Gem Inc. Adds to its Land Package at the Louise Lake Project, B.C.May 10, 2007: North American Gem Inc. (TSX-V symbol: NAG) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 1,600 Ha (3,953 acres) of additional contiguous ground onto its Louise Lake copper-gold-molybdenum-silver project, extending the land package to the northwest. This acquisition is due to favourable results returned from the winter 2007 program targeting the "Main Zone", including confirmation of higher copper and gold grades at depth north of previously known limits. The road-accessible property is located 35 kilometres west of Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, a full-service community with excellent access to highway, rail and electrical power infrastructure.
The Main Zone hosts an unusual mineral assemblage, with copper occurring as an equal mixture of enargite and chalcopyrite. The 2004 through 2006 programs extended the known dimensions of the east-west striking, moderately north-dipping tabular Main Zone both to the west and east, as well as down-dip to the north. By 2006, the Main Zone was known to be at least 970 metres long, up to 170 metres wide, and known to extend to a depth of 270 metres, where it is abruptly truncated by the flat-lying "Terminator" fault. In 2006 SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. completed the first NI 43-101-verifiable resource estimate on the Main Zone, with the following results: Table 1: - SRK Classified Mineral Resources for the Louise Lake Deposit.
*All resources quoted at 0.25% CuEq cut-off **CuEq calculated using the following metal prices: Cu US$1.20/lb, Mo US$8/lb, Au US$ 450/oz, Ag US$7/oz ***The copper equivalent values have been determined using values below current market conditions to allow for long term market fluctuations Table 2: Contained Metal Amounts Calculated from Resource Estimates at 0.25% Copper Equivalent Cut Off, prior to Winter 2007 Drill Program:
The current resource estimate presented in Table 1 will be upgraded shortly, incorporating results from the 2007 program including the northern step-out holes, potentially increasing much of the resource to the "Indicated" category. 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 was done by ALS Chemex of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Drilling was conducted by Britton Brothers Diamond Drilling Ltd of Smithers, British Columbia.
