NAG North American Gem Inc.

North American Gem Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAG) has finalized the acquisition of an
additional 650 acre multi-seam coal lease in Knox County, Kentucky which will be
known as the Gilliam Hill Lease. This newly acquired lease is immediately
adjacent to the North American Gem #2 Mine and also contains the readily
marketable Blue Gem coal throughout the entire lease area with an average seam
thickness of 2 feet. In addition to the Blue Gem seam, the Jellico and Dean
seams have been confirmed on the lease as well. 


NAG has made plans to begin drilling on the newly acquired lease in the next 90
days and will verify the seam thickness and quality of the coal in all 3 known
seams. Preparation for submittal of the mining permit application to the
Kentucky Department of Natural Resources on the Gilliam Hill lease has already
begun. As with the Granny Rose Lease announced February 2nd 2010, mining costs
are expected to be relatively low on this particular lease due to favorable
strip ratios and mining conditions. Once successfully permitted, the Gilliam
Hill lease will be mined using surface and auger mining techniques.


"The Gilliam Hill lease will be our largest lease acquired to date for total
estimated tonnage as well as mining production potential," stated Charles
Desjardins, President of North American Gem Inc. "We are optimistic that the
Company will be able to expand this lease area by adding available contiguous
parcels that are currently in negotiation."


Mr. Dean Schafer is acting as operations manager of all the Company's Kentucky
coal leases and is currently implementing an overall mine plan.


Ms. Deborah Moses, PEng, PLS, REM, of Engineering Consulting Services Inc.
(ECSI) is the qualified person for the Company's coal operations in Kentucky and
West Virginia.

America, currently the focus is in Kentucky, Saskatchewan, and West Virginia. In
