North American Gem Inc. Continues to add to its Coal permitting position West of Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan Mon May 12, 9:34 AM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com VANCOUVER, May 12 /CNW/ - North American Gem Inc. (TSX-V symbol: NAG) is pleased to announce that the Company has submitted coal permit applications for another 96,478 acres, in addition to the previous acreage as stated in the Thursday May 8, 2008 release. This now brings the current total land staking to approximately 349,379 acres. The Company continues to add to its potential land position in proximity to the recent Goldsource Mines Inc. (TSX-V symbol: GXS)(Goldsource) discovery, in east-central Saskatchewan. Charles Desjardins, President of North American Gem Inc. said, "The Company believes in the long term viability of this promising coal basin and has continued to stake based on the quality information that has been made available to North American Gem Inc." The Company will confirm permit grants as documentation is received regarding these coal permits that have been forwarded to the government of Saskatchewan's permitting office. The time frame will be determined by the permitting office. North American Gem Inc. has submitted money in trust to the Saskatchewan permitting office. North American Gem has made a commitment to be active in Saskatchewan for the exploration of coal, whether it be through successful staking by the Company or through joint venture opportunities. The recent coal discovery by Goldsource Mines Inc. of bituminous coal in two drill holes 1600 meters apart, suggests the potential for a much larger coal system. Goldsource believes the coal it encountered is from the Mannville/Swan River Group of Creataceous age (Goldsource Mines Inc., Release May 5, 2008). Coal structures of the Creataceous age are generally very large and can encompass several thousand square kilometers. North American Gem Inc. would like to announce that pursuant to its stock option plan, the Company has granted incentive stock options to its directors, officers, consultants, and employees to purchase 1 million common shares in the capital stock of the company, exercisable for a period of two years, at a price of 15 cents per share.
