North American Gem Inc. (NAG) (TSX-V: NAG) is pleased to announce
an agreement with Durabo Drilling of Corbin, Kentucky for the
drilling of the leases recently acquired from Lonesome Pine Leasing
known as the North American Gem Mining Permit #3 and the North
American Gem Mining Permit #4. The permitting process is currently
underway for both North American Gem Mining Permit #3 and North
American Gem Mining Permit #4 for the purpose of submitting an
official permit application to the Kentucky Department of Natural
Resources (KDNR).
The purpose of the program is to drill and prove the presence of
mineable coal seams that are known to exist below the Blue Gem
Seam. The drill core data collected will potentially allow NAG to
prepare a certified engineering report with an accurate calculation
of a mineable coal reserve of the Blue Gem coal and also the coal
seams known to exist below the Blue Gem seam. The specific seam
being drilled for has been encountered in the process of oil and
natural gas drilling in the area and has been measured in thickness
from 1.5-2 metres in thickness and is believed to be a low sulfur,
high btu seam.
The drill program will provide the means to obtain a laboratory
analysis which will determine the actual quality and
characteristics of the coal seams. The analysis of the data will
also help NAG develop the most efficient mining plan for both North
American Gem Mining Permit #3 and North American Gem Mining Permit
#4.
In total, North American Gem Inc. has leased approximately 5,000
acres of coal reserves in Knox and Whitley Counties in Kentucky.
NAG is actively developing a total of 7 leases for mining permits,
the first of which, North American Gem #1 Mine is currently
completing development and is expected to produce the first
marketable coal within days.
All of North American Gem Inc.'s potential mining operations
will incorporate sediment control methods that will keep ahead of
the increased regulations and restrictions. Furthermore, in
anticipation of increased regulations, NAG has, in all of its
permitting applications, begun the sampling of receiving streams
and groundwater wells utilizing the most stringent and extensive
sampling parameters. This will allow NAG to comply with the
regulatory requirements and will also result in a much shorter and
smoother permitting application process.
The North American Gem mining operation establishes NAG as a
coal producer with the ability to enter into supply contracts. The
supply contracts established by production from the North American
Gem Mine #1 are expected to be expanded upon as the Company
increases operations in the area. The performance and capabilities
of production from the North American Gem Mine #1 will determine
the point at which further production from additional leases is
commenced.
North American Gem Inc. is expecting approval of the official
permit application submitted for the North American Gem Mining
Permit #2 from the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources (KDNR)
shortly.
Mr. Dean Schafer is acting as operations manager of all the
Company's Kentucky coal leases and is currently implementing an
overall mine plan.
Mike Magrum, PEng, a qualified person under National Instrument

Cautionary note:
This report contains forward-looking statements. Resource
estimates, unless specifically noted, are considered speculative.
Any and all other resource or reserve estimates are historical in
nature, and should not be relied upon. The production rate and
mine-life projections have been made without support of a
feasibility study, there is no certainty the proposed operations
will be economically viable. By their nature, forward-looking
statements involve risk and uncertainties because they relate to
events and depend on factors that will or may occur in the future.
Actual results may vary depending upon exploration activities,
industry production, commodity demand and pricing, currency
exchange rates, and, but not limited to, general economic factors.
Cautionary Note to US investors: The U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission specifically prohibits the use of certain terms, such as
"reserves" unless such figures are based upon actual production or
formation tests and can be shown to be economically and legally
producible under existing economic and operating conditions.
