AGORACOM NEWS FLASH

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

Normabec Intersects 11.52 g/t Au Over 5 Metres and 9.13 g/t AU Over 11 Metres on Pitt Gold
ST-BRUNO, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Jan. 6, 2009) - Normabec Mining Resources Limited ("NORMABEC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NMB)(FRANKFURT:N6M) is pleased to announce the first results from its fall drilling program on the Pitt Gold property, located along the Porcupine-Destor Break, some 35 km north of Rouyn-Noranda, in the Abitibi region of Quebec.

From October to December 2008, Normabec completed 9 holes for a total of 5,180 metres of core. All holes targeted extensions of known mineralized zones and more specifically zones 1 and 2 located in the eastern portion of the property.

Of note, in both of the holes reported above, significant widths and grades are now being returned from zone 1 (11.52 g/t Au over 5 m and 9.13 g/t Au over 11 m). The Company estimates that true widths are approximately 80% of the core lengths indicated above. These two holes were drilled 100 metres apart with hole PG2008-05 located in between (see below). Results are pending for the remaining seven holes of this program.

These excellent results follow on a series of outstanding intersections reported in early 2008 (please see Press Releases dated Feb. 28 and March 18) from the winter drilling program undertaken in the same area (10.43 g/t Au over 3.0 m in PG2008-01, 35.2 g/t Au over 5.0 m in PG2007-07, 21.04 g/t Au over 2.0 m and 31.75 g/t Au over 1.5 m in PG2008-05). Mineralization at Pitt Gold can be followed laterally for 500 metres and vertically for 800 metres, and remains open at depth. Notably, as is common within the prolific Porcupine-Destor region, a large majority of high grade values are found below the 300 meter level.

In the fall of 2008, Normabec acquired the remaining 20% interest in the Pitt Gold property from SOQUEM Inc. and GeoNova Exploration Inc. The interests retained by the former owners have been converted into a 1% NSR royalty to each. The royalty can be bought back for $1 million.

Samples were prepared and assayed at Technilab of Sainte Germaine de Boule and were subjected to fire assay with AA finish. Normabec has implemented a QAQC program which includes systematic use of standards, blanks and duplicates. Values above 3 g/t Au are systematically re-assayed.

The 2008 drilling program was carried out under the supervision of Mr. Pierre O'Dowd, geologist and Qualified Person as per National Instrument 43-101.

Normabec is a junior mining exploration company with a portfolio of advanced exploration projects including: the 100% owned Pitt Gold Project in Quebec and the 100% owned Real de Catorce Silver Project in Mexico.
