NORSEMONT APPOINTS MIJAEL THIELE TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Norsemont Mining Inc. has appointed Mijael Thiele to the company's board of directors, effective immediately.

Mr. Thiele is a senior mining executive with 30 years of experience in managing major mining assets and leading complex strategic projects. He has promoted innovative and transformative solutions in the industry, holding leadership roles in large-scale projects and overseeing significant copper, gold and molybdenum operations.

In 2016, he made a strategic transition into management consulting and board roles for mining and mining related companies. Leveraging his extensive real-world experience, strong analytical skills and support from a team of highly trained consultants, he delivers unique, value-added advisory services to boards and executive teams.

Mr. Thiele spearheaded, in record time, the development of the $2.7-billion (U.S.) greenfield Esperanza megaproject, a 100,000-tonne-per-day (tpd) copper-gold operation, taking it from exploration to commercial production in just six years and setting benchmarks in safety, capex and development time. In addition to designing and building the project, he was also responsible for establishing the new company as an independent operation for Antofgasta Minerals. This involved creating all foundational elements, including vision, mission, values, ESG (environmental, social and governance) frameworks, and building, hiring and training the entire operations team. Serving as chief executive officer, he effectively set up the new mining operation from the ground up.

Esperanza became the first operation of its kind to utilize 100-per-cent seawater (without desalination), implement thickened tailings, and run an integrated control centre spanning mine operations, plant, pipeline and port.

Mr. Thiele also managed one of Anglo American's most complex operations, the Los Bronces copper mine, for three years as vice-president of operations and general manager. Under his leadership, the mine achieved continuous improvements in safety performance, exceeded production targets and maintained costs consistently within budget.

Marc Levy, CEO of Norsemont, said: "We continue to build a world-class mining team with significant engineering and management experience on large-scale porphyry copper and gold projects. Mijael's insights, expertise and knowledge will be invaluable in moving our dumps through feasibility stages and our main Choquelimpie gold-silver-copper asset forward. We are thrilled to have Mijael on board and look forward to the achievements that lie ahead."

The company also announces that, pursuant to its equity incentive plan, it has granted to directors and officers 750,000 stock options to purchase 750,000 common shares of the company at a price of 30 cents per share for a period of five years.

The company also wishes to announce that it has formed a partnership with Senergy Communications Capital Inc. (address: 1122 Mainland St., Suite 228, Vancouver, B.C., V6B 5L1; e-mail: info@senergy.capital), a digital marketing firm that will provide marketing campaigns, strategic communication and advertising with the goal of increasing awareness of the company and its Choquelimpie project. This collaboration is set to enhance Norsemont's visibility and bolster the strategic growth initiatives of the company. Senergy has been retained for an initial term of two months with an anticipated start date of Dec. 1, 2024, for a fee of $120,000. The term may be extended by mutual written consent of the parties. The services provided by Senergy will include, but not be limited to, digital advertising, media program management and co-ordination, e-mail marketing, shareholder engagement reports, and social media analytics reports.

The company will not issue any securities to Senergy as compensation for its services. Senergy is not related to Norsemont, and to the company's knowledge, Senergy and its principal, Aleem Fidai, do not own any securities of the company. The agreement with Senergy is subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
