NORSEMONT ANNOUNCES ITS APPLICATION TO LIST ON THE OTCQB(R) VENTURE MARKET

Norsemont Mining Inc. has applied for its common shares to be trading on the OTCQB Venture Market, a United States trading platform operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York. The company will provide further information once its common shares commence trading.

The OTCQB is the premiere marketplace for early-stage and developing U.S. and international companies that are committed to providing a high-quality trading and information experience for their U.S. investors.

The OTCQB quality standards provide a strong baseline of transparency as well as the technology and regulation to improve the information and trading experience for investors.

The company believes that trading on the OTCQB will provide additional liquidity and increase its visibility within the U.S. capital markets.

Norsemont will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under its symbol NOM.

We seek Safe Harbor.
