mines in West Virginia who have been very economic with less than 3 feet seams of coal over more than 15 years of continuous production!!! especially the strip mines. These are excellent results-better than geologist contemplated. And these zones are expected to be less than the other zones to be tested later.

North American Gem Inc. Intersects Coal and CompletesDrilling on the Saffle and Dalton Tracts in WestVirginia

April 6,2009: North AmericanGem Inc. (TSX-V symbol: NAG) (the “Company”) announces that drilling has beencompleted on its 37 acre potential surface mining prospect known to the Companyas the Saffle Tract, and its 130 acre potential surface mining prospect, theDalton Tract, both in West Virginia.

Triad Engineering Inc. has completed 230feet in drilling on two holes on the Dalton Tract and an additional 53 feet indrilling on one hole on the Saffle Tract. The drill core has been logged, inaddition, soil and coal samples have been sent for analysis to StandardLaboratories Inc. in Belington, West Virginia. The test results from theoverburden analysis will determine what precautions are necessary to potentiallymine the coal and in the reclamation of theproperty.

Coal was intersected on Hole 1 of the Dalton Tract at 65feet 2 inches to a bottom depth of 68 feet 8 inches giving a coal thickness of 3feet 6 inches. Coal was intersected on Hole 2 of the Dalton Tract at a depth of10 feet 6 inches to a bottom depth of 13 feet giving a coal thickness of 2 feet6 inches. Further coal was intersected at a depth of 143 feet 3 inches to adepth of 146 feet 6 inches for a thickness 3 feet 3 inches. On the Saffle Tractcoal was intersected at a depth of 41 feet 5 inches to a bottom depth of 44 feet5 inches giving a seam thickness of 3 feet.

The Company is very pleasedand encouraged to have intersected the coal seams on each hole that was drilledin line with the anticipated historical estimates from previous data and workdone in the surrounding areas. Theseseams have historically been mined in the region utilizing surface miningoperations.

Once the Company receives the results from the water andsoil sample analysis they will be forwarded to the Department of EnvironmentalProtection (DEP) to satisfy the requirements towards full mining permit status.The process towards a full mining permit on the Saffle Tract will be expeditedby the fact there has been historical water and soil testing work done on theproperty.

From the September 10, 2008 NR, in part it says:"ACC currently controls approximately 20,000 acres of coal leases inWest Virginia that are in various stages of permitting. Severaldifferent coal seams run on ACC’s properties including the well knownKittanning seam currently being mined at Cleveland-Cliff's White Tailmine 6 miles from ACC's project. Initial strip mining is anticipated

Ok thanks HHAPPY. Like I said, i had no idea. I was actually doing a little DD to find some comparisons.do you know of any specific companies?Why would they drill certain zones when they expected other zones to be thicker elsewhere, to be tested later? Maybe I missed something in the translation..Anyway, I retract.You know, if these types of seams are economical and highly profitable, then what

Saturn ,my understanding from past PRs from Nag and talking with IR and geologists was that NAG WILL NOT produce a 43-101 .at this stage. They are applying for an Enviromental permit and the Drilling permit at the same time. They are convinced they have an economic viable coal deposit and will begin production as soon as permits received. Will use revenue to produce a 43-101 on all the seams they

Thanks HHappy, that's what I was told by IR as well.  I'm just saying that it would be nice to get a reserve estimate and a feasibility study done ASAP.  Skipping those steps has hurt the s/p IMO.  I guess its just a matter of time before it is done and it would be nice to be in production making $$$$$$$$.  But how much and for how long, that's the question.
