NORSEMONT CLOSES FIRST TRANCHE OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Norsemont Mining Inc. has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement. A total of 1,024,500 units will be issued at a price of $1 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,024,500.

Each unit consists of one common share in the capital of the company and one-half of one transferable common share purchase warrant.

Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one share at a price of $1.50 per warrant share until 5 p.m. Vancouver time on or before July 9, 2021, subject to an acceleration provision, whereby, if the shares trade at a price on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other exchange on which the shares may be traded at such time) of $2 or greater per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days after four months and one day from the closing of the offering, the company may accelerate the expiry of the warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof (by disseminating a news release advising of the acceleration of the expiry date of warrants) and, in such case, the warrants will expire on the 31st day after the date of such notice.

The net proceeds from the offering will be used to finance its upcoming work program on the Choquelimpie gold/silver project in northern Chile and working capital.

The company shall pay a finder's fee of $3,200 to an eligible finder in connection with the offering.

All securities to be issued under the offering will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

We seek Safe Harbor.
