3/30/2007

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Mar 30, 2007 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) --

Nortec Ventures Corp., ("Nortec" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:NVT), is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of $2,025,000 through the issuance to Pinetree Resource Partnership ("Pinetree") of 9,200,000 common shares (the "Shares") and 4,300,000 special warrants (the "Special Warrants") of the Company, each at a price of $0.15, for a maximum issuance of 13,500,000 common shares (the "Offering").

Each Special Warrant entitles Pinetree to acquire, for no further consideration, one Share of the Company. The Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised into Shares on the third business day following the date the Company obtains the approval of its shareholders for the issuance of the Shares underlying the Special Warrants (the "Shareholder Approval Condition") as required by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Shareholder approval must be obtained at a meeting of shareholder no later than August 30, 2007 (the "Expiry Date").

The gross proceeds received from the sale of the Special Warrants are being held in escrow and will not be released to the Company unless and until the Shareholder Approval Condition is satisfied. If the Shareholder Approval Condition is not satisfied by the Expiry Date, such proceeds will be returned to Pinetree and all outstanding Special Warrants will be cancelled and be of no further force or effect. The proceeds received from the sale of the Shares are immediately available for use by the Company.

The Company will use the net proceeds received from the Offering to cover the work program at Koillismaa-Naranka Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, Finland; TL Nickel-Copper Project, Labrador, and general working capital.

In consideration of services rendered in connection with the Offering a finder received 595,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.17 per common share. An additional 191,500 common shares are issuable to the finder at a deemed price of $0.17 per common share upon the satisfaction of the Shareholder Approval Condition.

All of the securities issued in connection with the Offering, including any shares which may be issued on the exercise of the Special Warrants, are subject to a hold period in Canada until July 31, 2007.
