NORSEMONT CLOSES CHOQUELIMPIE ACQUISITION

Norsemont Mining Inc. has completed the acquisition of the Choquelimpie gold/silver project in Northern Chile on the terms of a share purchase agreement dated July 15, 2020 (SPA), with Tavros Gold Corp., an arm's-length private British Columbia corporation, whereby the company has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tavros from the shareholders thereof. Tavros holds the exclusive right to acquire all of the shares of Sociedad Contractual Minera Vilacollo ("Vilacollo"), a private Chilean corporation which holds a 100% interest in the Choquelimpie gold/silver project in Northern Chile.

Inversiones Alxar SA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chilean conglomerate Empresas Copec (BCS: COPEC) holds all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vilacollo. The transaction constitutes an acquisition pursuant to Section 3 of Policy 6 of the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Allan Larmour, CEO of the company, stated: "We are excited to close this transformational acquisition, positioning Norsemont with one of the most prolific gold-silver assets in Chile. Choquelimpie has excellent infrastructure and an enormous amount of money has been spent previously by major mining companies, including over 1700 drill holes. We believe Choquelimpie will provide significant upside to all our stakeholders and excellent exposure to Gold and Silver."

Terms of the proposed transaction

The transaction is structured as a share exchange pursuant to a SPA, whereby the company has acquired all of the shares of Tavros from the Tavros shareholders in consideration for aggregate cash payments of $3.3-million (U.S.) (broken down into various property acquisition and other payments payable over 18 months) and the issuance of 15 million common shares ("Consideration Shares") in the capital of the Company.

The Consideration Shares are subject to a voluntary escrow (the " Escrow ") and a right of first offer (the " ROFO ") pursuant to the terms of the SPA. The Consideration Shares, were placed in Escrow on closing and will be released from Escrow over a period of 24 months and subject to the ROFO.

The company currently has 28,819,585 shares issued and outstanding. On the closing of the transaction, disregarding any additional shares issued as a result of exercise in any currently outstanding stock options or share purchase warrants, there will be 43,819,585.

The company anticipates payment of a finder's fee payable in cash to an arm's-length finder in an amount equal to $550,000.

We seek Safe Harbor.
