NDT ACQUIRES NINE NEVADA GOLD PROPERTIES

NDT Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:NDE) (OTCBB:NDTVF) has acquired nine gold properties located in Pershing and Humboldt Counties, north central Nevada. Acquired from Platoro West Incorporated, all nine properties are located near to other known mineral deposits, and/or within recognized mineral districts. Each of the properties boast geologically favorable settings with the potential of hosting economic gold occurrences; and the Company is extremely pleased to be able to acquire such an attractive property portfolio.

The nine Nevada properties are geologically diverse with each having the potential for either bonanza grade gold and silver deposits associated with large veins and shear zones or high tonnage bulk-minable gold and silver deposits related to stockwork veins and/or disseminated mineralization. Although the majority of properties are fairly early stage with no drilling, previous work has identified very favorable geologic environments and potential ore grade metal values have been obtained on surface.

Obvious drill targets have already been identified on all of the properties. Several of the properties occur within regional proximity and exhibit clear geologic similarities to known economic occurrences. On two of the properties, there has been historic underground precious metal production with both exhibiting exploration potential for the discovery of additional high-grade vein mineralization.

There is an immediate priority to complete detailed field work on all the properties to better establish their overall geologic potential and design follow-up exploration programs to include drilling.

The Company can acquire a 100% interest in each property with an initial payment of 25,000 shares per property, followed by 75,000 shares and $22,500 cash in total per property in years 2 through 4. Starting in year 5, annual cash payments of $10,000 and 25,000 shares become due. The Company can elect to purchase a 100% interest in each property for $100,000 at any time after year 5. Each property retains a 2% to 4% sliding scale NSR royalty, based on gold price, half of which is purchasable by NDT Ventures Ltd. All figures are in US Dollars.

NDT’s exploration team continues to review quality opportunities in the Americas as part of its strategy to acquire attractive mineral projects in stable and prospective geological environments.

On Behalf of the Board,

NDT VENTURES LTD.
