Investor Update Presentation - September 2010

 

Norseman Gold, the AIM-listed and ASX-listed Australian gold production company advises that it has today issued a correction to one of the slides contained in the Investor Update presentation released on 17th September.

 

Page 23 of the Investor Update Presentation September 2010 "Building Momentum" quoted the resource for Harlequin South incorrectly.

 

The resource quoted for Harlequin South should read "470,000 tonnes @ 7.0 g/t for 110,000 ounces", which is the resource as at 31 March 2010.

 

The slide currently quotes the resource as "57,000 tonnes at 21.1 g/t for 39,000 ounces" which was the resource as at 31 March 2008.

 

A copy of the correction can be downloaded from the Company's website at www.norsemangoldplc.com.

Note to editors:

 

Norseman Gold plc is an AIM listed and ASX listed Australian gold production company, which acquired the Norseman Gold Project in May 2007, Australia's longest continually running gold operation. The Norseman Gold Project is located in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia in the highly prospective Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt, 725km east of Perth and 186km from Kalgoorlie.

 

Gold was first found on the Norseman field in 1894 and over the last 65 years it has produced over 5.5 million oz of gold. The mine is currently producing from two high-grade narrow-vein underground mines - the Bullen and the Harlequin. Currently, it has a total resource inventory of 3.8 million oz of gold at an average grade of 5.3 g/t.

 

The tenements cover a 2,180 sq km area centred on the Norseman Township. The landholding comprises 221 tenements consisting of 16 Exploration Licences, 107 Mining Licences, 64 Prospecting Licences, 15 Miscellaneous Licences, 5 Exploration Licence Applications, 13 Prospecting Licence Applications and 1 Mining Lease Application.

 

The Company's strategy is focused on extending the mine life through the conversion of resources into reserves and identifying additional resources and obtaining additional ore for the operating mill through the development of a third and subsequent mines. The Company has fifteen advanced resource projects under review of which three have pre-development work being undertaken on them. It is anticipated that at least one if not all the pre-development projects will develop into mining propositions.
