"Since our last corporate update, we have taken a number of measures to strengthen our management team, to ensure that our June production target was met, and to move forward with our financing activities," said Mr. Eric Kohn, TD, Executive Chairman of Noventa. "This recent progress is very encouraging and supports our long-term objective of becoming of a low-cost producer of tantalum concentrate."

Executive and Board Appointments

Noventa's Board of Directors has appointed Fernando Fernandez-Torres as a director of the Company, in the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO") and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") designate of the Company. Mr Fernandez-Torres will become a director on 28 June 2011 and will assume the role as COO on 1 August 2011. Mr Fernandez-Torres is expected to assume the role of CEO during the last quarter of 2011.

Mr Fernandez-Torres, a qualified industrial engineer, has been involved in the mining industry for over 30 years, including over 20 years within Rio Tinto and 5 years within the Sibelco Group. More recently, he was the COO of two copper/cobalt mining projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the first controlled by AIM-quoted Nikanor PLC (subsequently acquired by Katanga Mining Limited), and the second by a joint venture between Glencore and local interests. Immediately prior to taking up his role with the Company, Mr Fernandez-Torres headed the project in northern Spain to reopen abandoned gold mines for TSX-listed Orvana Minerals Corp.

The board of Noventa is also pleased to announce the appointment of Thies Eggers as an independent non-executive director and head of the audit committee effective today. Mr Eggers is a qualified accountant and tax consultant in Germany, having joined Arthur Andersen in 1969, and rising to the position of Managing Partner at both their Munich (1979-1997) and Prague (1990-1993) offices. Since 1997 he has sat on the boards of a number of quoted and unquoted companies as well as undertaking a number of consultancy appointments.

Timothy Griffiths has resigned as a director of the Company, effective 28 June 2011.

Mr. Kohn, also commented, "We are delighted at the appointments of Messrs Fernandez-Torres and Eggers. We believe their experience and expertise will prove to be invaluable to Noventa's future. The board would also like to express thanks to Mr Griffiths for all his hard work and wish him well for the future."

Production and Financing Update

Consistent with its previous disclosure, Noventa also announced that production levels at the Company's Marropino mine exceeded the Company's annualised 175,000lb target of tantalum concentrate for June, with a recovery rate of over 51%.

The Company also announces that Canaccord Genuity has resigned as the Company's joint broker. Religare Capital Markets, in its position as Noventa`s lead broker in the U.K., is advising the Company on its financing requirements.

The Company proposes to call an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") of its shareholders, which is planned to be held on 29 July 2011. The EGM will be held to secure necessary shareholder approval to increase its authorised share capital and the authority for the directors to issue new shares. A notice convening the EGM will be sent to all shareholders shortly.
