Highlights

Three zones intersected beneath deepest mine level New Porphyry style molybdenum mineralization discovered at depth 35 meters intersection 170 meters below deepest mine level of 0.3045% MoS2 (4.017 lbs Mo/tonne) Area for resource expansion has tripled

September 22, 2010 - NMC Resource Corporation (TSX-V: NRC) ("NMC Resource") is pleased to announce the first assay results from one of seven deep drill holes (for a total of 1,001 meters) completed to test the down dip extent of the molybdenum mineralization below the mine workings at the NMC Moland Mine in South Korea.

In hole NMK 10-06, two skarn type zones were intersected as well as 35 meters of "porphyry" type mineralization, which has the potential of being a wider and more consistent grade of mineralization than the skarn type of ore presently being mined. This intersection occurs in NMK 10-06 between 135-170 meters beneath the deepest of the three current mine levels (L 217m). The true thickness of the mineralization is approximately 66% of the core intersection. However, the true thickness will be better determined after further drilling.

A technical report on the NMC Moland Mine dated October 8, 2009 (the "Technical Report") prepared by R.S. Middleton, P. Eng. in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and filed on SEDAR on November 19, 2009, estimated an inferred resource of 1,726,299 tonnes with the upper two levels (above L 257m) at an average grade of 0.366% MoS2 with a 0.1% cut off. A clean molybdenum concentrate is produced since there are no other sulphide minerals in the deposit. This makes a highly valued product for the steel industry.

(Hole NMK 10-06)


Interval (meters) W (meters) % MoS2 % Mo lbs Mo / tonne 12 - 28 16 0.2429 0.1457 3.205 75 - 79 4 0.1523 0.0914 2.011 135 - 170 35 0.3045 0.1826 4.017

Present production comes from the upper two levels (L 310m and L 257m) which are the upper 100 meters of the mine. Infill drilling between the second (L 257m) and third Level (L 217m) has also been carried out to expand and define or classify the resource. The projected down dip depth of mineralization is now 400 meters from surface and is open to depth; therefore, the area for new resource discovery has tripled from the present resource area.

Commercial production at the NMC Moland Mine commenced April 2010. To the end of the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, NMC Resource sold 118,300 pounds of molybdenum out of 199,827 pounds of production with cash cost US$7.23/lb Mo. 81,527 pounds of molybdenum were retained in inventory for a better market price. During this period, the first quarter of sales, NMC Resource recorded $356,624 as earnings from mine operations.

Assaying for the 2010 drill core has been carried out by ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, B.C. where � split cores were shipped by secure courier for preparation at the Chemex Lab. Assaying was done with acid digestion and ICP MS analysis. One blank and two standards were used for every 36 samples to maintain quality control.

Supervision of the drilling and quality of the sampling and assaying is being done by R.S. Middleton, P.Eng, who is acting as the Q. P. for NMC Resource.

Assaying of six other deep drill holes will be done over the next month, and confirmation assays on 35 infill holes from the area between the L 217 m and L 257 m will also be carried out in Canada over the next sixty days.
