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.
