Fatality at the Norseman Project

occurred at its Norseman Project which has resulted in one of its workers
suffering fatal injuries.
Little is known of the circumstances, except that the fatality occurred at the

Note to editors:
Norseman Gold plc is a dual AIM 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 gold mines - the Bullen and the
Harlequin. Currently, it has a total resource inventory of 20.0 Mt at a grade
of 5.5 g/t gold for 3.7 Moz of gold.
The tenements cover a 1,614 sq km area centred on the Norseman Township. The
landholding comprises 179 contiguous tenements consisting of 13 Exploration
Licences, 106 Mining Licences, 45 Prospecting Licences, 15 Miscellaneous
Licences and 29 Mining Lease Applications.
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 re-treatment of tailings
or acquisitions of alternative sources of ore.
