Ich möchte hier mal wieder ein Unternehmen vorstellen.
Leider ist das mit diesem Editor gar nicht so einfach!
Wer Interesse hat ,kann von mir auch ein ordentlich formatiertes PDF
Dokument bekommen, mit einigen zusätzlichen Grafiken.
Diese konnte ich hier leider nicht abbilden...
Mein Fazit:
Ich stimme ja nur ungern den Bullvestoren zu aber dieser Wert gefällt mir auch sehr gut .
Norsemont ist ein Junior Explorer der in Peru tätig ist.
Im dortigen Constancia Projekt wird vorrangig nach Kupfer gesucht. Aber auch Silber und Gold
ist vorhanden.
Das Unternehmen hat 2005 schon einige äußerst viel versprechende Bohrergebnisse geliefert!
Die vermuteten/geschätzten Kupfervorräte liegen bei ca. 8.8 Milliarden lbs. of Cu!
Diese vermuteten Ressourcen gilt es jetzt in 2006 nun nachzuweisen.
Eine Scoping Studie wird mit einer ersten Ressourcenschätzung soll im 2/3 Quartal fertig sein!
Nach all den bisherigen positiven Bohrergebnissen, halte ich die Wahrscheinlichkeit
für äußerst hoch, das diese erste Ressourcenschätzung auch sehr gut ausfallen wird!
Was mir weiterhin sehr gut an Norsemont gefällt, ist das sie sich auf ein oder zwei Projekte konzentrieren und diese kontinuierlich weiter entwickeln.Bis jetzt haben sie Ihre Ankündigungen immer eingehalten.
Auf mich macht das Unternehmen einen seriösen Eindruck.
Ich konnte jedenfalls kaum was negatives finden! Aber ich kann mich natürlich auch irren.
Die Homepage ist auch sehr informativ und es werden eine Menge Infos bereitgestellt.
Ein weiterer Pluspunkt.
Im Januar wurde eine 14 Mio $ Finanzierung durch einen privaten Investor abgeschlossen.
Dadurch dürften mittelfristig keine Liquiditätsprobleme auftauchen.
Die Bewertung von ca. 80 Mio C$ ist auch noch im Rahmen.
Da gibt es einige Unternehmen mit weitaus weniger Potenzial, die viel höher bewertet sind.
Mein Fazit lautet kaufen! Für mich ein klarer Kauf...

The project is an enormous multi-billion pound copper target (along with credits of gold, silver and molybdenum) located 600 km southeast of Lima, Peru. Rio Tinto had joint ventured with Mistui to explore the property, but had judged the estimates to fall short of their objectives and were giving it a pass. Our geologists thought differently.
Rio Tinto worked on the Constancia Copper-Gold-Moly Project in 2004 under a Joint Venture with Mitsui. Previous drilling by Mitsui and Minera Livitaca/Minera Katanga included 48 drill holes (approximately 5,430-metres). Rio Tinto has completed 24 drill holes (7,843.9 metres), IP, ground magnetics, limited metallurgical test work and detailed geological mapping over the area. The recent drilling has broadly defined a large copper porphyry system with a shallow chalcocite enrichment zone, hypogene chalcopyrite and copper skarn mineralization. Best drill results include 168m @ 1.14% Cu, 0.11g/t Au, 8g/t Ag, 138ppm Mo, mostly as chalcocite enrichment. An aggressive exploration program is currently underway.

Amata property, Peru (100%)
Kurzbeschreibung
•10,300 hectares Silver-Gold-Copper high sulphidation epithermal system
•Located 50 kilometers North East of Arequipa
•15 drill holes completed by RTZ for a total of 6,150m
•Norsemont believes there is potential to expand the zones of mineralization and identify additional
zones of high-grade precious metals in the epithermal lithocap or copper in the underlying porphyry.
After a successful partnership through the Con-stancia project, Rio Tinto was confident enough with our geological expertise and business acumen to allow us to acquire 100% of the Amata Project, a major high grade silver-gold-copper property in southern Peru. In fact, Amata is an immense series of thirteen mineral properties spanning 10,300 hectares. Our ability to pinpoint likely high grade targets and mobilize quickly to get drilling underway has gone a long way in putting us at the forefront of reviewing world-class opportunities. Acquiring control of this project from one of the world?s largest mining companies is another example of the industry?s respect for our know-how and determination.
The Amata Project is located 50km northeast of Arequipa city in the Coalaque district in the department of Moquegua, Peru. It is located at UTM coordinates 278000mE 8169000mN (Zone 19 S, datum WGS 84). The project area contains the Amata high sulphidation epithermal system and associated porphyries located between 3900m - 4700m altitude in the Cordillera of southern Peru.
Entwicklungsstatus
In 2001, Rio Tinto Exploration (RTE) secured 100% mineral rights over the prospect area which totalled 10,300 hectares and commenced exploration in the same year. Detailed geological mapping, systematic rock chip sampling and ground magnetics identified a large 10 x 4 km area of high sulphidation epithermal alteration with underlying porphyry type intrusives. A total of 2272 rock, 19 stream sediment and 10 rock float samples (excluding quality control samples) were collected in the project area. High Ag, Mo, Cu, Au and Hg values in rock samples helped identify at least six different drill targets (Cerro Amata, Tincacocha, Cayrane, Tacune, Trinchera and Palcamayo). The first round of drilling began in December 2002 with 9 recconaissance diamond holes totalling 3,866m drilled within the six target areas.
After a small CSAMT survey and further geochemistry, a second round of drilling began in September 2003 with 6 holes totalling 2,291m drilled, including 1,512m RC and 779m as diamond tails to these RC holes.
Not all targets have been tested within the prospect area and some of the targets have only been tested with very wide spaced drill holes. There are significant chances of identifying more mineralisation and zones of high grade precious metals in the epithermal lithocap or copper in the underlying porphyry.
Drilling Highlights
Of the six targets drilled three (Cerro Amata AM, Tincacocha TQ and Tacune TN) contain
the most encouraging drill results, including:
AM-01 :
317.80m @ 31.7 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au

Projektanteile
On September 5, 2005, the Company signed a letter agreement with Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Ltd. Whereby the Company acquired a 100% interest in 13 mineral properties known as the Amata Project in southern Peru plus property studies for a total consideration of US $80,000 which was paid as of June 30, 2005.

NORSEMONT MINING INCREASES FINANCING
Norsemont Mining Inc. (“Norsemont”) (TSX–V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF; ISIN: CA6565291045) is very pleased to announce it has secured a non-brokered private placement of $14,000,000 with institutional investor The Sentient Group. The company is concurrently finalizing an additional financing of up to $2,000,000 from insiders, associates and institutional investors.
The private placement was first announced in Stockwatch on December 18, 2005. The amended terms are that Norsemont will issue up to 4,000,000 units at a price of $4.00 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share for two years at a price of $4.75 per share. The Warrants will have an "accelerator" provision such that if the closing price of Norsemont's common shares is $6.00 or higher for 10 consecutive trading days at any time after the closing date, Norsemont may, by issuance of a press release and written notice to the holders, give notice of “acceleration” of the warrant expiry date to the day which is 20 calendar days following the date of issuance of the press release.
The Sentient Group of funds will be subscribing for a total of 3,500,000 units of the private placement for a total of $14,000,000. This transaction is expected to close within 3 days subject to final Exchange acceptance.
Norsemont President & CEO, Marc E. Levy said: "We're delighted that a quality investor such as The Sentient Group has recognized the value of our asset at Constancia. Sentient is an exceptional group for us to partner with and they are determined to see our Constancia project move towards production. This is a considerable milestone for Norsemont to have achieved in less than twelve months since optioning the Constancia property from Rio Tinto. We are proud to attract such an outstanding financial partner to help in developing a first-class project such as Constancia. The Sentient Group has a long term approach to investing, is actively involved and able to provide strategic and long term planning advice. Their extensive experience in mining will provide Norsemont with additional resources to ensure our success.”
Norsemont is pleased to have attracted multiple suitors who were prepared to fund the company. After completing a detailed review of the two main offers the board decided to accept a significantly larger offer at a marginally reduced price so that it will have sufficient funds to ensure the execution of its plans for Constancia and Amata. Although the placement with Sentient Group was discounted slightly when compared to the other offer, yet still above the existing market, the Board decided to go with Sentient for a number of reasons, including a 40% increase in the size of the offer, a reduction to a ½ warrant , an expedient closing and their long term strategic approach.
The financing proceeds will be used to fund the company’s anticipated work programs on the Constancia project and Amata project, for investigation of asset acquisition activities and general working capital. A finder's fee will be payable on all or a portion of the private placement according to the TSX Venture Exchange policies including a fee payable to Allied Capital Corporation.

NORSEMONT EXTENDS MINERALIZATION AND REPORTS HIGHEST GRADE INTERCEPT TO DATE AT SAN JOSE ZONE, CONSTANCIA PROJECT
Norsemont Mining Inc. (“Norsemont” or “the Company”) (TSX–V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF; ISIN: CA6565291045 ) is pleased to announce that encouraging results have been received from three additional holes targeting both the Constancia and San Jose Zones at the Constancia Copper-Molybdenum-Gold-Silver Porphyry Project in southern Peru.
Highlights include:
• Hole CO-05-32: 166.00 meters of 0.83% Copper (0.97% CuEQ1)
• Hole CO-05-34: 62.00 meters of 1.45% Copper (1.68% CuEQ1)
• Hole CO-05-35: 180.90 meters of 0.58% Copper (0.88% CuEQ1)
All three holes are on the fringes of previous drilling at Constancia, thus adding significantly to the known extent of mineralization.
“Hole CO-05-34 encountered 62 meters of 1.45% Cu, the highest grades received to-date within the San Jose Zone, located near surface” said Marc E. Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc. “Additionally, step out Hole CO-05-35 encountered the highest molybdenum values yet observed on the property, intersecting 16 meters of 0.60% Cu and 0.071% Mo and 82 meters of 0.59% Cu and 0.054% Mo. The hole terminated in strong mineralization at 296 meters due to caving. Step out Hole CO-05-32 and CO-05-35 suggest that the Constancia Zone remains open for expansion to the south and to the west.” To-date, 41 drill holes have been completed by Norsemont at the Constancia Project totalling 9,790 meters.

Note 1: Copper equivalent Values (CuEQ) are estimated using long-term metal prices including: Copper US$1.00 per lb, Molybdenum US$6.00 per lb, Silver US$6.50 per oz., and Gold US$400 per oz. Adjustment factors to account for differences in relative metallurgical recoveries for gold, copper and molybdenum will depend upon the completion of definitive metallurgical testing. CuEQ equals Cu per cent plus (Au grams per tonne times 12.86/22.05) plus (Mo percent times 132.28/22.05) plus (Ag grams per tonne times 0.21/22.05).
The San Jose Zone at the Constancia project is believed to be the faulted extension of the main Constancia Zone to the east. Hole CO-05-34, one of five holes completed during 2005 at the San Jose Zone, intersected the highest grades yet encountered. A near surface interval of 62 meters (16m – 78m) encountered 1.45% Cu in mixed skarn mineralization and chalcocite-bearing monzonite. Continued drill testing the near surface potential of the San Jose Zone will be a high priority in early 2006.
Holes CO-05-32 and 35 are 100 meter step-out holes collared within the Southern Fracture System, the thickest and generally highest grade portion of the main Constancia Zone. CO-05-32 tested the southeastern portion of the Fracture Zone, angled to the northwest. Hole CO-05-32 encountered a skarn contact with mineralized monzonite intersecting 140 meters (100 meters - 240meters) of 0.8% Cu and 0.015% Mo. The interval overlaps mineralized skarn rocks and secondary chalcocite in the monzonite. This intercept has excellent continuity with nearby holes, collectively suggesting that the Constancia zone remains open for expansion to the south. CO-05-35 has extended the Southern Fracture System to the west, encountering 180.9 meters of 0.58% Cu and with 0.038% Mo in five zones. These zones start at the surface and continue to the bottom of the drill hole. This 100 meter step-out hole intersected the strongest molybdenum values yet encountered on the property. Furthermore, the Constancia zone remains open to the west and at depth in this region, since the hole was lost within strong mineralization due to poor down-hole ground conditions.
The drilling program and geological studies at the Constancia project are being supervised by Dr. Thomas A. Henricksen, P. Geo., Norsemont’s Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Core samples are cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags, and shipped to ALS Chemex Assay Labs in Lima, Peru. The program includes an extensive quality control program for assaying which includes the systematic use of standards, blanks, and field duplicate samples. Secondary laboratories are also used for check assaying.

STEP OUT DRILLING WITHIN THE SAN JOSE ZONE YIELDS ADDITIONAL MINERALIZATION AT CONSTANCIA PROJECT
STEP OUT DRILLING WITHIN THE SAN JOSE ZONE YIELDS ADDITIONAL MINERALIZATION AT CONSTANCIA PROJECT
Norsemont Mining Inc. (“Norsemont” or “the Company”) (TSX–V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF; ISIN: CA6565291045 ) is pleased to announce that favourable results have been received from the initial three drill holes within the San Jose Zone at the Constancia Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum Porphyry Project in southern Peru.
Highlights include:
• Hole CO-05-31: 60m of 0.82% Copper (0.97% CuEQ1)
• Hole CO-05-30: 36m of 0.71% Copper (0.88% CuEQ1)
• Hole CO-05-33: 44m of 0.42% Copper (0.60% CuEQ1)
“Norsemont is encouraged by the near-surface mineralization encountered at the San Jose Zone” said Marc E. Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc., “The zone is wide open along strike, and is likely the faulted extension of the Constancia Zone located to the east. The recently announced financing will allow for an extensive drill program at Constancia in 2006.”

The San Jose Zone at the Constancia prospect is believed to be the faulted extension of the main Constancia Zone to the east. Historical work at the San Jose Zone in the 1990’s, included mapping, surface sampling and diamond drilling. This work was performed by Mitsui Mining, who were operating the nearby Katanga mine. An unknown amount of high grade copper was extracted from a small open pit, typified by a mixture of chalcopyrite and chalcocite in skarn and mineralized intrusive. The open pit is located in the geographic center of the known limits of the San Jose Zone. Mitsui drilled a series of short reverse circulation drill holes, encountering consistent thicknesses of strong copper mineralization. In 2004, Rio Tinto completed three holes near the open pit. The extent of mineralization at the San Jose Zone is not well understood due to poor exposure, however surface sampling and limited drilling suggest a width of 250 meters in the open pit area. Along strike, the zone is traceable in sparse leached outcrops for a length of nearly one kilometer in total, extending mainly to the north of the open pit.
As part of the current drilling program at Constancia, Norsemont completed five core holes in the San Jose Zone and has received results for the first three holes; CO-05-30, 31, and 33. These holes are oriented along an east-west section line, across the strike of the zone and spaced at 100 meter intervals. CO-05-30 contains an interval of 36 meters (30 m - 66m) of near surface skarn mineralization, averaging 0.71% Cu, 0.004% Mo, 0.19 g/t Au, and 3.65 g/t Ag. CO-05-31, located 100 meters to the west of CO-05-30, contains an interval of 60 meters (12 m - 72 m) of near surface mixed skarn chalcopyrite and chalcocite mineralization in intensely phyllic altered and brecciated monzonite averaging 0.82% Cu, 0.012% Mo, 0.078 g/t Au, and 3.65 g/t Ag. CO-05-33, located 100 meters to the west of CO-05-31, encountered 44 meters (84 m - 128 m) of mixed chalcopyrite and chalcocite in both skarn and monzonite, averaging 0.42% Cu, 0 .012% Mo, 0.107 g/t Au and 4.82 g/t Ag. The grades and thicknesses at the San Jose Zone encountered to-date are consistent with mineralization encountered at the north end of the offset Constancia Zone.
The drilling program and geological studies at the Constancia project are being supervised by Dr. Thomas A. Henricksen, P.Geo., Norsemont’s Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Core samples are cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags, and shipped to ALS Chemex Assay Labs in Lima, Peru.

NORSEMONT INTERSECTS BEST GRADES YET ENCOUNTERED AT CONSTANCIA
NORSEMONT INTERSECTS BEST GRADES YET ENCOUNTERED AT CONSTANCIA
Norsemont Mining Inc. (“Norsemont” or “the Company”) (TSX–V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF; ISIN: CA6565291045 ) is pleased to announce that assay results for an additional four holes have been received from its Constancia Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum Porphyry Project in southern Peru.
Highlights include:
• Hole CO-05-27: 118m of 0.74% Copper (1.07% CuEQ1)
• Hole CO-05-28: 22m of 2.02% Copper (2.49% CuEQ1)
• Hole CO-05-29: 58m of 0.88% Copper (1.02% CuEQ1)
“The southern portion of the main Constancia Zone exhibits near-surface, excellent copper, silver and molybdenum grades over wide intervals.” said Marc E. Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc., “Hole CO-05-28 encountered 22 meters of 2.02% Cu, 0.03% Mo, 198 ppb Au and 17.18 g/t Ag, the highest grades yet encountered on the project”. Future drilling will continue to step-out from this recent drilling to expand the deposit along strike.

Results to-date in the Constancia Zone have identified two distinct corridors east-west trending structural corridors of high-grade mineralization within the extent of the open-ended mineralizing system. Additionally, excellent continuity of near-surface supergene-enriched copper mineralization at Constancia is unique for porphyry and skarn deposits in southern Peru, amenable to low-cost heap leach recoveries. Norsemont is initiating metallurgical testwork on samples representative of supergene material, as well as primary mineralization.
Norsemont’s ongoing drilling at the Constancia Zone is testing the northern and southern portions of known mineralization. Holes CO-05-27, 28 and 29 are located in the southern half of the Constancia Zone, and were drilled at the limits of known mineralization. CO-05-27 and 29 were drilled from the same platform and directed to the south at -60 and -80 degrees respectively. Strong chalcocite was encountered in both drill holes over significant core lengths, suggesting that the mineralizing system remains open. Hole CO-05-28, a 100 meter step-out hole in the south-central portion of the zone encountered strong mineralization, and suggests that the zone remains open to the south. Hole CO-05-26 was collared in the extreme northeast corner of the deposit, and did not encounter significant mineralization.
Norsemont’s expanded program has completed over 9,000 meters of core drilling on the property to-date, with current drilling testing the San Jose Zone, located west of the main Constancia Zone. Management is encouraged by the results received to-date, suggesting that the deposit has excellent continuity of near-surface mineralization, and remains open to expansion in multiple directions and at depth. Norsemont expects to release additional assay results from the initial holes from the San Jose Zone shortly.

Norsemont’s ongoing drilling at the Constancia Zone is testing the northern and southern portions of known mineralization. Holes C-05-20 to 25 are located in the north part of the Zone, spaced on 100 meter centers with the objective to establish continuity of grade, as well as to expand mineralization along strike and at depth. These results suggest excellent continuity of supergene and hypogene copper mineralization, underneath a leached cap and results will be incorporated into a near-surface resource estimate for the Constancia Zone. Hole C-05-19 was drilled at the southwest corner of the Zone and encountered low grades, where interfingering of excellent and low copper grades define the margin of the deposit. Norsemont expects to release additional assay results from the southern portion of the Constancia Zone, as well as the initial holes from the San Jose Zone in the near future. Based on previously released results, the southern portion of the Constancia Zone exhibits the strongest copper mineralization over the widest intervals. Due to excessive workload at the analytical labs, assay results have been taking longer than expected.
The drilling program and geological studies at the Constancia project are being supervised by Dr. Thomas A. Henricksen, P.Geo., Norsemont’s Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Core samples are cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags, and shipped to ALS Chemex Assay Labs in Lima, Peru.

Recent drilling has encountered blind copper-molybdenum mineralization beneath the skarn and marble on the south end of the Constancia Zone. Drill holes CO-05-12, 14, 16, and 18 encountered excellent secondary chalcocite mineralization, as well as primary chalcopyrite, and occasionally primary bornite in the monzonite directly beneath the cap of skarn. Grades above 1% copper are common in the secondarily-enriched zones directly beneath skarn. More importantly, this Constancia Zone remains open for expansion to the southeast underlying shallow holes completed by previous operators, which were not drilled to sufficient depths to intersect the intensely mineralized skarn/intrusive contact.
Hole C0-05-15 was drilled down or alongside a post-mineral dyke, or possibly a pre-mineral sliver of weakly altered monzonite, with only limited copper mineralization (one 18 meter zone of 0.49% copper and 280 ppm Mo and another 18 meter zone of 0.54% copper and 340 ppm molybdenum). Hole CO-05-17 was drilled in a covered area to the east, but apparently in a lobe of relatively fresh rock between east-west trending extensively mineralized zones.
In addition to ongoing drilling at the Constancia Zone, Norsemont has commenced drilling at the highly prospective San Jose Zone. Drilling will test areas where shallow (<50 meters) drilling by previous operators encountered high grade copper values. The Company will also test prospective leached cap areas in the north San Jose Zone. Assay results on the recently completed holes will be released shortly.

NORSEMONT EXPANDS DRILL PROGRAM TO 8,000 METERS AND PLANS DRILLING OF HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE SAN JOSE ZONE
Norsemont Mining Inc. (“Norsemont” or “the Company”) (TSX–V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF) is very pleased to announce that the Company has expanded the current drill program at the Constancia project in Peru to 8,000 meters from the current 6,000 meter program. It is anticipated that the additional drilling will be completed prior to the end of 2005.
As part of this expanded program Norsemont has also decided to complete up to 5 holes in the San Jose Zone. The San Jose Zone, as defined by the geological mapping, geochemical sampling and trenching carried out by Norsemont, is approximately one kilometer long in a 350 degree orientation and up to 400 meters in width. The target area is centered on the San Jose Pit, partially mined in the 1990´s by Mitsui. The San Jose Zone may be the offset extension of the Constancia Zone to the east and south, as evidenced from Norsemont geological mapping. Historical shallow drilling by Mitsui intersected locally abundant 1% copper values as chalcocite and mixed chalcocite/chalcopyrite, at less than 50 meters in depth, in the open pit area.
In 2005, Norsemont trenched a copper indicative leached capped showing, approximately 500 meters north of the San Jose Pit along the trend of the San Jose Zone. This target will be one of the areas to be drill-tested.
Marc E. Levy, president and CEO, said: "We are well on our way to establishing a NI 43-101 compliant resource based on the positive results of our current drilling in the Constancia Zone. Our decision to expand the drill program is due to the positive results which continue to exceed our expectations and historical Rio Tinto drilling. We are excited about establishing a drill program in the highly prospective San Jose Zone which has the potential to add significant tonnage to the known copper mineralization at Constancia.”
To date, Norsemont has drilled 26 holes within the Constancia zone. Assay results on the recently completed holes are expected shortly.

NORSEMONT CONTINUES TO INTERSECT HIGH GRADE INTERCEPTS INCLUDING 196M OF 0.88% CU (INCLUDING 48M 1.70% CU) AT CONSTANCIA PROJECT
VANCOUVER, Oct. 12, 2005 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Norsemont Mining Inc. ("Norsemont" or "the Company") (TSX-V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF) is very pleased to announce that the Company continues to intersect significant copper mineralization in all 12 diamond drill holes at its Constancia Project in southern Peru.
The assay results from the two core drilling rigs currently working the project continue to confirm, and locally exceed, the results of the widely spaced drilling previously completed by Mitsui and Rio Tinto. Rio Tinto previously reported a historical unclassified resource in the Constancia porphyry copper system of 189 million tons of 0.68%t copper (0.5% copper cut-off) and 0.021% molybdenum, based on drilling in both the Constancia and San Jose zones. This resource estimate is historical in nature, has not been verified by our Qualified Person and therefore should not be relied upon.
Highlights include: - Hole CO-05-11: 196m of 0.88% Copper including 48m of 1.70% Copper - Hole CO-05-10: 166m of 0.59% Copper including 114m of 0.69% Copper - Hole CO-05-12: 47.25m of 0.87% Copper and 190m of 0.53% Copper
"The Company is very excited about these positive results which continue to exceed our expectations at Constancia" said Marc E. Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc., "Our current drilling confirms the historical Rio Tinto drilling and continues to exceed historical results in several areas. We continue to drill in the main Constancia zone with the goal to produce a new 43-101 compliant resource. Furthermore we look forward to the commencement of drilling in the highly prospective San Jose zone as well as at the newly acquired Amata project."
The 2005 exploration program to-date has concentrated on infill drilling at the Constancia zone, with the objective of completing a revised 43-101 compliant resource estimate of copper mineralization. Additional drilling this fall will target in the San Jose zone located west of the Constancia zone, where multiple shallow drill intercepts averaging over 1% Cu were completed by previous operators. A new trench excavated in early October located 500 meters north of the old San Jose pit encountered strong hematite oxidation with minor copper oxides, in a strongly altered porphyry. This suggests excellent potential for a significant new occurrence of chalcocite mineralization at depth in the San Jose North area below the leach cap.
The following table is a summary of the 2005 drilling program showing the significant intercepts with assays received to date from ALS Chemex in Lima. The drill hole locations are plotted a map which is available on the Company's web site. This map shows the near surface projection of greater than 0.5% copper, as determined from previous drilling, surface sampling, and the Norsemont's 2005 drilling:

NORSEMONT ENCOUNTERS SEVERAL HIGH GRADE INTERCEPTS IN FIRST SEVEN HOLES AT CONSTANCIA COPPER-GOLD-MOLY PROJECT
Norsemont Mining Inc. ("Norsemont" or "The Company") (TSX-V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF) is very pleased to announce significant copper mineralization has been encountered in the first seven diamond drill holes at its Constancia project located in Chumbivilcas province in Peru. The drilling thus far has confirmed and locally exceeded the wide-spaced drilling program previously completed by Rio Tinto and Mitsui and confirms the presence of a large Copper, Gold, and Molybdenum mineralized system.
Highlights include:
- Hole CO-05-01, which intersected 54m of 0.79% Copper
- Hole CO-05-02, which intersected 16.55m of 2.07% Copper and a further
52m of 0.68% Copper
- Hole CO-05-04, which intersected 97.8m of 0.61% Copper
- Hole CO-05-05, which intersected 110m of 0.87% Copper including 72m of
1.10% Copper
- Hole CO-05-06, which intersected 58m of 1.44% Copper
- Hole CO-05-07, which intersected 30m of 1.08% Copper.
Silver and Gold assay results are pending and will be released as they come available. The Company is particularly pleased with these very positive results and has immediately expanded the current 15 hole diamond drill program to 20 holes.
"We are extremely pleased with the thick, continuous and high-grade intercepts of copper generated in this phase of drilling. Our current copper and moly drill results on average, exceed those reported from the drilling program completed by Rio Tinto and confirm the presence of a robust, potentially low cost heap leachable mineralized system" said Marc E. Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc., "We are currently drilling holes No. 12 and No. 13, and we expect to release the next batch of results in the near future."
Secondary chalcocite and/or primary copper sulphide mineralization, in potentially commercial quantities, have been intersected within phyllically altered monzonite and skarn in each of the first eleven holes completed for Norsemont (Assay's are pending for the four other completed holes), including the two drill holes in progress. The overall thickness of the secondary chalcocite and primary copper sulfides, encountered during this phase of drilling, ranges from a thickness of 120 meters in hole CO-05-05 and down to a thickness of 34.9 meters in CO-05-03 (partially oxidized chalcocite blanket).
A summary of the significant intercepts from the current diamond drill program are as follows:

Note: All above holes are vertical.
Drill hole CO-05-05, at the south end of the 2005 drill area, contains an interval of 110 meters (50m - 160m) of 0.87% copper and 0.011% molybdenum within a mixture of chalcocite and primary copper sulfides in monzonite and skarn. This interval includes 72 meters (56m - 128m) of 1.1% copper and 0.012% molybdenum. Drill hole CO-05-01, at the north end of the 2005 drill area, contains 54 meters (80m - 134m) of 0.79% copper in chalcocite and 0.002% molybdenum beneath a leached cap of 80 meters. Hole CO-05-02, 300 meters south of CO-05-01, contains two significant chalcocite-bearing intervals, separated by 10 meters of oxidized and leached chalcocite blanket. The upper 16.55 meter interval (99.45m - 116m), contains 2.07% copper in chalcocite and 0.01% molybdenum beneath 99.45 meters of leached cap. The lower interval of 52 meters (126m - 178m) exhibits a grade of 0.68% copper in chalcocite and 0.007% molybdenum. The copper mineralization appears to be increasing in grade and thickness to the south.
The detailed drilling completed by Norsemont in 2005 has tested the chalcocite blanket and the primary copper sulfides of the Constancia zone for approximately 600 meters north-south. The 2005 surface geologic mapping and geochemical sampling, combined with Mitsui, Rio Tinto and Norsemont drilling, collectively suggest that the zone of secondary chalcocite and primary copper sulfides in the Constancia zone alone has dimensions north-south of over one kilometer and east-west dimensions ranging from 200 to over 800 meters. Higher grades and wider surface projections of the secondary chalcocite and primary copper sulfides seem to be associated with broad (200m - 400m wide) east-west trending fracture zones where they intersect a prominent north-south silicified zone, also several hundred meters in width. The average thickness of the partially eroded chalcocite blanket, as defined by Norsemont thus far in 2005, is in the range of 60 to 80 meters.
The Constancia Project is located between the Tintaya Mine of BHP Billiton and the Las Bambas copper project of Xstrata Resources. The principal purpose of this phase of drilling is provide sufficient data to produce a NI 43-101 Compliant Resource Estimate at the Constancia zone by infill and step-out drilling on 100 meter centres. This zone is only part of the large Constancia porphyry and skarn copper system, which also includes the San Jose zone one kilometre to the west. Rio Tinto previously reported an historical unclassified resource in the Constancia porphyry copper system of 189 million tonnes of 0.68% copper (0.5% copper cut-off) and 0.021% molybdenum (this resource has not been audited by NI 43-101 Standards and should therefore not be relied upon), based on the drilling of Rio Tinto and Mitsui, in both the Constancia zone and the San Jose zone. The 2005 drilling by Norsemont has to date suggested that the copper grades reported by Rio Tinto have been exceeded.
The initial drilling program and geological studies at the Constancia project are being supervised by Dr. Thomas A. Henricksen, P.Geo., Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. Core samples are cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags, and shipped to ASL Chemex Assay Labs in Lima, Peru. The program includes extensive Quality Control for assaying which includes the systematic use of standards, blanks, and field duplicate samples. Secondary laboratories are also used for check assaying.

Based on alteration mapping and surface geochemistry, six principal targets have been identified (Cerro Amata, Tincachoca, Cayrane, Tacune, Trinchera and Palcamayo) that vary from about 15 hectares (500 m x 300 m) to 120 hectares (1.2 km x 1 km) in size. The Cerro Amata target contains a central diatreme breccia body that has a surface dimension of approximately 600 x 300 m. North of Palcamayo and the Apacheta (7th target) sector are yet to be explored. Norsemont believes there is potential to expand the zones of mineralization and identify additional zones of high grade precious metals in the epithermal lithocap or copper in the underlying porphyry.
The oldest rocks in the area correspond to rocks of the coastal batholith (544Ma) which are overlain by Yura group sediments. The prospect is situated within the volcanic complex of Cerro Blanco-Cerro Saltaoco in the Barroso group (Pleistocene) which border the batholith and overly the Yura group. The prospect was identified during the follow up of TM colour anomalies. The anomaly corresponded to a large volcanic complex with four volcanic edifices aligned NE-SW over an area of 10 x 4km. Yanacocha Au-Ag district (Yanacocha Mine in northern Peru) and Amata district are similar systems, showing characteristics of epithermal Au and Ag in the upper levels and underlying porphyry Cu. Both are upper Tertiary age deposits with similar structural controls.
Norsemont continues to make substantial progress with the 2005 drill program at its flagship Constancia project. Norsemont is also pleased to announce it has acquired additional data with regards to the previous drilling Mitsui conducted in the San Jose high grade zone. To date, ten diamond drill holes have been completed. Core samples have been sent to the ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima, Peru, for analysis, and results will be released as they are made available and reviewed by Norsemont's geological team.

NORSEMONT ACQUIRES HIGH GRADE SILVER-GOLD-COPPER PROJECT FROM RIO TINTO
Norsemont Mining Inc. ("Norsemont") (TSX-V: NOM & OTCBB: NOMFF) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter Agreement with Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Ltd. ("Rio Tinto") (NYSE: RTP) whereby Norsemont has acquired a 100% interest in 13 mineral properties known as the Amata Project in southern Peru, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Amata Project consists of 10,300 hectares and is located 50 km northeast of Arequipa City in the Coalaque district in the department of Moquegua, Peru. The project area contains the Amata high sulphidation epithermal system and associated porphyries located in the Cordillera of southern Peru. Sampling of 3,078 rock chip and grab samples include anomalies grading up to 2,400 g/t of silver and up to 7.2 g/t of gold, to values below detection.
In 2002 and 2003 Rio Tinto completed a two-staged drill program consisting of 15 widely-spaced holes (within 2km), of which the most encouraging results include:
Cerro Amata: AM-01: 317.80 m @ 31.7 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au AM-02: 100.25 m @ 1.11% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au, 19.55 g/t Ag Tincachoca: TQ-02: 26.8 m @ 2.6% Cu, 0.42 g/t Au, 45 g/t Ag
Not all the targets within the prospect area have been tested. Those targets that have been tested have only been tested with very widely spaced drill holes. Norsemont believes there is potential to expand the zones of mineralization and identify additional zones of mineralization.
Due to the immense size of the property (10,300 ha), Norsemont plans to re-evaluate the targets within the prospect area identified by Rio Tinto. It is the Company's opinion that a more detailed grid mapping program would help to better understand the success of the previous drill holes. A program of mapping, trenching and sampling is being planned.
"Our partnership with Rio Tinto has allowed us the opportunity to acquire this very attractive project. Norsemont is very excited to have the opportunity to explore Amata which has existing high grade silver and copper mineralization" said Marc Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc., "The Amata project is an excellent addition to our property portfolio and demonstrates our commitment towards building a first class mining company."
The prospect was initially identified during the follow-up of thematic mapping anomalies which corresponded to a large volcanic complex with four volcanic edifices aligned NE-SW. Detailed geological mapping, systematic rock chip sampling and ground magnetics identified a large 10 x 4 km area of pervasive epithermal-style alteration with underlying porphyry intrusives in a setting similar to the Yanacocha Mine in northern Peru.
Alteration is typical of high sulphidation epithermal systems and characterized by extensive zones of vuggy silica and hydrothermal breccias bordered by zones of advanced argillic and propylitic alteration. Based on alteration mapping and surface geochemistry, six principle targets have been identified (Cerro Amata, Tincachoca, Cayrane, Tacune, Trinchera and Palcamayo) that vary from about 15 hectares (500 m x 300 m) to 120 hectares (1.2 km x 1 km) in size. The Cerro Amata target contains a central diatreme breccia body that has a surface dimension of approximately 600 x 300 m. The Breccias are strongly anomalous in silver (up to 2,400 g/t) and gold (up to 7.2 g/t) and hold the potential for bulk mineable silver-gold resources. Information is based on a report acquired from Rio Tinto.
Norsemont plans to evaluate the known geology, alteration and structure in light of the existing drill intercepts and sampling of 3,078 rock chip and grab samples include anomalies grading up to 2,400 g/t of Ag and up to 7.2 g/t of Au, to values below detection.
Management remains excited about its progress to date at its flagship Constancia project and is pleased to confirm a second drill rig is currently on site and drilling the newly identified areas of mineralization as previously announced on August 29, 2005. The addition of the Amata property gives us a truly first class portfolio of Peruvian resource assets.
A finder's fee will be payable in connection with this transaction.

Norsemont Continues to Expand Extent of Copper Mineralization at Constancia
Norsemont Mining Inc. (?Norsemont? or ?the Company?) (TSX?V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF; ISIN: CA6565291045 ) is pleased to announce additional wide intercepts of significant mineralization have been received from six drill holes within the San Jose and Constancia Zones at the Constancia Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum Porphyry Project in southern Peru.
Highlights include:
?§Hole CO-05-39: 239m of 0.59% Copper (0.83% CuEQ1)
?§Hole CO-05-40: 144m of 0.58% Copper (0.73% CuEQ1)
?§Hole CO-05-41: 24.0m of 0.81% Copper (1.01% CuEq1)
?Drilling at Constancia continues to encounter consistently good grades and significant thicknesses in multiple areas.? said Marc E. Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc., ?The San Jose Zone is open to expansion in all directions, and the Constancia Zone is open to the South and East.?

Note 1: Copper equivalent Values (CuEQ) are estimated using long-term metal prices including: Copper US$1.00 per lb, Molybdenum US$6.00 per lb, Silver US$6.50 per oz., and Gold US$400 per oz. Adjustment factors to account for differences in relative metallurgical recoveries for gold, copper and molybdenum will depend upon the completion of definitive metallurgical testing. CuEQ equals Cu per cent plus (Au grams per tonne times 12.86/22.05) plus (Mo percent times 132.28/22.05) plus (Ag grams per tonne times 0.21/22.05).
The final six holes completed during the 2005 drilling program at Constancia are reported in Table 1. Drill holes 36, 37 and 38 were located at the limits of the north-west and north-east extensions of the Constancia Zone proximal to a northeast striking fault zone which offsets the San Jose Zone from the Constancia Zone. Hole 39 is located near the southwest boundary of the Constancia zone; the 239.35 meter interval of 0.83% copper equivalent (including 0.59% copper) was terminated in strong mineralization averaging over 0.80% copper equivalent. This hole encountered one of the thickest mineralized intervals encountered during the 2005 drilling program. The mineralized system remains open for expansion to the south of this hole underneath overburden. Hole 40 was collared at the easternmost known limit of the Constancia Zone, previously interpreted to be a ?window? of lower grade mineralization. A significantly higher grade and thicker interval than expected was encountered: 144 meters averaging 0.73 % copper equivalent (0.58% copper). Copper mineralization in hole 40 is dominantly chalcocite and mixed chalcocite/chalcopyrite in the host monzonite. Hole 41 was the last hole completed during the 2005 program, encountering copper mineralization in mixed skarn and secondary chalcocite This hole encountered a near-surface interval of 70 meters (72m ? 142m) averaging 0.68% copper equivalent (including 0.53% copper). The San Jose Zone has been drill tested over a 250 meter width and partially drill tested along a potential north-south length exceeding one kilometer
The ongoing drilling program and geological studies at the Constancia project are being supervised by Dr. Thomas A. Henricksen, P.Geo. Norsemont?s Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Core samples are cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags, and shipped to ALS Chemex Assay Labs in Lima, Peru. The program includes an extensive quality control program for assaying which includes the systematic use of standards, blanks, and field duplicate samples. Secondary laboratories are used for check assaying.

NORSEMONT APPOINTS SIVERTZ AS PROJECT MANAGER OF THE AMATA SILVER-GOLD-COPPER PROJECT
Norsemont Mining Inc. (?Norsemont? or ?the Company?) (TSX-V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S; WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF) is pleased to announce that George Sivertz, B.Sc. P. Geo., was recently retained by Norsemont to join its dynamic exploration team.
Mr. Sivertz will oversee the assessment and exploration of the Amata Silver-Gold-Copper Project in southern Peru. Mr. Sivertz and Tom Henricksen, Chief Geologist of Norsemont are currently on site at the Amata project outlining our upcoming exploration and drilling programs. After completing a recent $14 million financing, Norsemont has sufficient funds to complete the programs.
?I am excited to be joining Norsemont?s professional exploration team in southern Peru, one of the best places in the world to find new mines,? said Mr. Sivertz.
?Norsemont is pleased to be able to attract some of the most talented geologists in the field. We look forward to George developing our exploration programs for Amata, and achieving the same level of success we?ve had at our Constancia Project? said Marc E. Levy, President and CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc.
Mr. Sivertz has worked for more than 30 years as an exploration geologist and project manager throughout the Americas. Mr Sivertz is a Senior Geologist with OreQuest Consultants Ltd, a well-regarded Vancouver firm. Since joining OreQuest in 1994, he has been exploring in Latin America for various clients, primarily in Peru. He has significant experience with epithermal gold, porphyry copper-molybdenum, and skarn deposits in many districts of Peru.
After taking a degree in Honours Geology from the University of British Columbia in 1976, Mr. Sivertz began his career with Noranda Exploration in North-western BC. He later worked for various companies exploring for silver and gold in the Yukon and in the Toodoggone River district in BC. He gained important experience with Hunter Dickinson Inc at the Mt. Milligan and Prosperity copper-gold porphyry deposits in BC. In 1994, he explored north western Mexico for Glamis Gold.
THE AMATA SILVER-GOLD-COPPER PROJECT
The Amata Project consists of 10,300 hectares and is located 50 km northeast of Arequipa City in the Coalaque district in the department of Moquegua, Peru. The project area contains the Amata high sulphidation epithermal system and associated porphyries located in the Cordillera of southern Peru. Sampling of 2,282 chip and grab samples include anomalies grading up to 2,400 g/t of silver and up to 7.2 g/t of gold.
In 2002 and 2003 Rio Tinto completed a two-staged drill program consisting of 15 widely-spaced holes (within 2km), of which the most encouraging results include:
Cerro Amata Zone:
AM-01: 317.80 m @ 31.7 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au
AM-02: 100.25 m @ 1.11% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au, 19.55 g/t Ag
AM-03: 2 m @ 3.08% Cu, 12.85 g/t Ag; and
2.35 m @ 0.80% Cu, 22.5 g/t Ag
AM-05: 2 m @ 783 g/t Ag, 0.14% Cu
Tincachoca:
TQ-02: 26.8 m @ 2.6% Cu, 0.42 g/t Au, 45 g/t Ag
Further information on the Amata project is available on the Norsemont website at www.norsemont.com. The property hosts multiple high-sulphidation epithermal targets that have not been drilled. Previous drilling performed by Rio Tinto was widely spaced; Norsemont believes there is potential to expand the known zones and discover additional zones of mineralization.
Due to the significant size of the project (10,300 ha), the Company plans to re-evaluate the existing targets within the prospect area identified by Rio Tinto. Detailed grid mapping, trenching and geochemical sampling is planned to fully evaluate the high-sulphidation and porphyry-style precious and base metal potential of Amata.

Prices: Copper stands at $2.39/lb ($5,261/T), a new all-time high. Since the start of 2006,
copper prices have risen 14.8%. Quarter to date, prices have averaged $2.22/lb compared to
$1.95/lb in 4Q/05 and $1.67 for 2005. Futures for Dec-06/07 are $2.30/lb and $2.08.
Recent micro indicators are mixed with 1) Merchant premia higher in Europe, US and
Russia, but lower in Japan; and 2) Scrap discounts continuing to increase in US ($0.115/lb vs
$0.100/lb in Jan) but flat in Europe ($0.113/lb). The three-month backwardation stands at
$54/T, compared to the year to date average of $93 and the 2005 average of $175/T.
Speculative interest, as indicated by positions in futures contracts on the COMEX, tipped
into net-short positions for a few weeks this year, but recently reverted to net-long. For
context during 2005, positions were all net-long, ranging from 2,532 (in December) to
37,231 contracts.
Inventories:
Since hitting a recent high in the beginning of March at 207kT, total exchangeinventories have declined by -22.7 kT (-10.7%) to stand at 185 kT. For context, total
exchange inventories hit a recent low of 99.0kT in October 2005. Year to date, inventories
have risen by +31 kT (+20.3%). The TSR, including estimates of metal held at producers
and consumers still stand at an extreme low level of 1.9 weeks consumption.
Outlook: Citigroup copper forecasts for 2006–08 are $1.85/lb, $1.50, and $1.30.
By quarter in 2006, average forecast prices are $2.20, $2.00, $1.70, and $1.50.
These forecasts are below spot levels, and the futures curve, but are sufficient for value
creation in select copper names.
The Citigroup global team is abandoning a longstanding bearish “fundamentalist” stance on
copper, in recognition of structurally tight markets and a continuing pattern of supply-side
outages/shortfalls as variously seen at Antofagasta, Codelco, Freeport, and Phelps Dodge.
Background factors include falling ore grades worldwide, a dearth of large new mines in the
near term, water shortages in northern Chile, and a leftward lurch in LatAm politics.
Another consideration is the status of Freeport’s Grasberg mine in Indonesia. Should this
massive mine go off line due to local/regional unrest, it would in a matter of weeks radically
alter the copper supply/demand picture. This is not part of our supply/demand model, but
the risk is relevant. Looking ahead, short-lived surpluses in 2006-07 driven by mine repairs
and smelter catch-up, are likely to give way to renewed deficits in 2008.
In a synchronous growth context, then, there is virtually no way exchange inventories will be meaningfully
rebuilt in the next three years.
Supply/demand forecast revisions: In 2006, the Citigroup global commodities team
expects a narrower commodity surplus of 134 kT (457 kT previously), as supply disruptions
continue, echoing the 23 significant outages/shortfalls seen in 2005.
This is lower than CRU’s call for a 449 kT surplus and ICSG’s (International Copper Study Group)
expectations of a 295 kT surplus. For 2007 and 2008, we expect tighter conditions, with a
surplus of 346 kT (previously 586 kT) and deficit of 175 kT
(previously balanced market),respectively.
In terms of global growth, we forecast supply increases of 9.0% in 2006, 6.0% in 2007,
and 2.3% in 2008 on net mine capacity additions totaling 961 kT, 643 kT,
and 944 kT, respectively.
This is matched by consumption growth estimates of +5.7%, +4.9%, and +5.1% for 2006-08.
Looking to China, we expect deficits of 1.4 mT in 2006 (+3.1% supply, +10.2% demand),
1.7 mT in 2007 (+3.4% supply, +10.9% demand), and 2.2 mT in 2008 (+4.4% supply, 12.6% demand).
Key elements in the copper picture include:
Mine supply shortfalls as start-up of new projects are delayed or disruptions occur atexisting operations. Possible causes include equipment shortages, equipment failures,
and possible strikes as labor leverages tight markets and high commodity prices.
Recently, we have seen lower production stemming from adverse ore or ground conditions,
such as Freeport’s Grasberg, Phelps Dodge’s Candelaria, or Newmont’s Batu Hijau.
Smelter bottlenecks are clearing, but the increased supply in not yet evident in the markets.
The most important sign posts are a substantial fall in spot TC/RC rates anddecline in concentrate stocks.
Yet, risks remain as the list of smelters taking maintenance shutdowns grow and commission
problems persist at two smelters in India and one in Thailand.

Norsemont Mining Inc. (?Norsemont?) (TSX?V: NOM; Frankfurt: N8S;
WKN: A0DQKK; OTC-BB:NOMFF; ISIN: CA6565291045) is issuing this news
release at the request of the B.C. Securities Commission (?BCSC?)
to clarify and correct certain information disclosed by the Company
that is not fully in compliance with the disclosure and filing
requirements of NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and
NP 51-201 Disclosure Standards (together the ?Policies?).
Resource Estimate
On its website, the Company disclosed an unaudited resource estimate of 608 million tonnes grading 0.48% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.014% Mo, and 3.4 g/t Ag for the Constancia Property and 189 million tonnes grading 0.68% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.021% Mo and 3.4 g/t Ag. The Company retracts these resource estimates and cautions investors from relying upon them. The Company has not established mineral resources or mineral reserves on the Constancia Property.
These values were calculated by Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Ltd. (?RTZ?) in a report dated September 2004. These potential quantities and grades must be considered conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient work undertaken to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the discovery of such a mineral resource.
In the Company?s March 2005 Technical Report on the Constancia Property, the author notes ?it is concluded that this is a property which has identified an exploration target that merits continued drilling and geological investigation, following the proposed plan, with the intention of identifying sufficient
mineralization to make an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
The Company has commissioned the calculation of a resource estimate according to CIM guidelines and consistent with the requirements of NI 43-101. Upon completion of the calculation, the Company will report the results.
Promotional Statements
In its news releases, on its website and in its newspaper ad, the Company made statements which are contrary to the principles of factual, balanced and complete disclosure in NP 51-201. Phrases such as ?multi-billion dollar asset?, ?world-class?, ?major copper discovery? and ?gold mine? are not based upon a current NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource and do not take into account costs and other factors
needed to determine the economic viability of the potential deposit. The Company has no basis to assess the potential future gross value of its exploration targets. The Company retracts these statements and cautions investors from relying on these statements. The Company also confirms, at the specific request of the BCSC, that it does not have an operating gold mine.
Selective Disclosure of Highest Values
In its March 14, 2006 and September 8, 2005 news releases and on its website, the Company summarized exploration results on its Amata project by reporting only the highest or best values of mineralization.
The Company has also reported highest or best values for its Constancia and Corcovado properties. The Company should not have disclosed the highest values and the Company?s QP is reviewing the data, and the company will publish a more complete report of the data as soon as it becomes available.

The Company is awaiting the results of a sampling program on the Amata project and will report the results as soon as they are available.
Disclosure of Information Norsemont has taken steps to ensure the information on its website and in its power point presentation has been corrected and is now in compliance with the Policies. The Company intends to disclose only that information which is supported by the scientific and technical data disclosed to date, in full compliance
with the Policies.
Norsemont Mining is a well-structured and financed exploration company working in the America?s, with a focus on Peru. The Company is currently drilling the Constancia Cu-Au-Mo project, and commencing exploration at the Amata Ag-Au property acquired from Rio Tinto.

Gibt es Kalkulationen darüber, was der Abbau einer Tonne Abraum in Peru kostet und mit wieviel man 1 kg Kupfer im Boden bewertet (bitte nicht nach Bullvestor-Schema!)
Die 2 Minen(Toquepala,Cuajone) haben 2005 eine Kupfergehalt
von 0,8% und 0,64% gehabt.
Der durchschnittliche Kupfergehalt der Reserven liegt bei den
2 Minen bei 0,561 und 0,58!
Scheint wohl als ob man mit 0,68% profitabel arbeiten kann!!!
Schau Dir mal die Gewinne von Southern Copper an!;-)
Die Minen von Soutern Copper und Constanica Projekt liegen übrigen
in der selben Gegend.(im Süden von Peru)
Eine Ressourcenschätzung kommt in den nächsten Monaten.
Da es keine Feasibility Studie gibt, kann ich dir zu den
Abbaukosten pro Tonne nichts sagen. In der Feasibility Studie
wird man dann sehen ob man wirtschaftlich abbauen kann.
Es spricht aber einiges dafür, sonst wäre ich hier nicht drin.
Bedenke auch das die Firma noch relativ am Anfang steht....

Ich warte bis die Bodenbildung abgeschlossen ist.
Die Mine gibt es erst seit einigen Monaten und ist schon so teuer?
In ganz Südamerika gibt es nur 2 Länder die nicht von Linken regiert werden und Investoren wurden vergrault obwohl sie investiert haben.
KUBA lässt grüßen.
Wenn ich den Einstieg verpasse - na ja aber Kursbastätigung möchte ich vorher schon sehen.
Kann man die News über 0,68 % Kupfergehalt als ausreichend betrachten?
100 KILOGRAMM bringen 690 US-Dollar
Und dafür muss man 100 Tonnen Gestein durchsuchen.
Ab wann lohnt sich wohl der Abbau?
PS: wenn die hochschnellt fällt die auch ganz schnell wieder - sagt
der JAHRESCHART. Da ist ja nur extremes rauf und runter zu sehen.
Aber viel Glück.

die Bodenbildung würde ich auch abwarten. Sollte die 3 USD nicht halten siehts
erstmal schlecht aus. Um die 3,50 USD würde ich kaufen!
Die weitere politische Entwicklung sollte man natürlich genau im Auge behalten!
Das ist ganz klar ein Risikofaktor!
bzg 0,68% Kupfergehlt... sach mal habt ihr Euch schon mal mit Kupferminen vorher beschäftigt?
Schaut Euch doch einfach mal ein paar Minen an! Vielleicht könnt Ihr dann die Frage selber beantworten.
Ich habe weiter oben was dazu geschrieben! 0,68% ist kein Top Wert aber ein überdurchschnittlicher
Wert.
Der Nationalist Ollanta Humala hat die erste Runde der Präsidentschaftswahl in Peru gewonnen und tritt nun gegen Ex-Präsident Alan García an. Von Europa erwarte er mehr Engagement, sagte er zu Alexandra Föderl-Schmid.
STANDARD: Sie gelten als neuer linker Führer in Lateinamerika. Was ist das für Sie, gemeinsam mit Venezuelas Präsidenten Hugo Chávez oder Boliviens Staatschef Evo Morales genannt zu werden?
Humala: Ich bin nur ein einfacher Kandidat und fühle mich geehrt, mit diesen in ihren Ländern sehr geachteten Führern verglichen zu werden. Ich sehe mich als Teil dieser lateinamerikanischen Familie.
STANDARD: Was verbindet Sie konkret mit Chávez?
Humala: Ich werde aus Peru keine Niederlassung von Chávez machen. Wir sind eine nationalistische Bewegung, von niemandem abhängig. Mein Vorbild ist Perus Ex-Präsident General Velasco, auch ich bin Militär, Nationalist. Meine Politik ist gegen das traditionelle Regime gerichtet, das das Volk betrügt.
STANDARD: Gibt es eine Neue Linke in Lateinamerika?
Humala: Man kann von einer neuen Linken sprechen, indigenen Strömungen oder, wie in Peru, von Nationalismus. Über den Namen kann man diskutieren. Das ist eine Bewegung gegen den Neoliberalismus, die nach Alternativen sucht, um die Probleme der Mehrheit zu lösen.
STANDARD: Was verstehen Sie unter Nationalismus?
Humala: Nationalismus ist die Verteidigung der Nation und eine Antwort auf den Prozess der Globalisierung. Nationalismus ist für uns die Bestätigung der Demokratie, die Stärkung des Bürgers.
STANDARD: Wollen Sie ausländische Firmen verstaatlichen?
Humala: Nein. Wir respektieren Privatbesitz, wir sind für internationale Investitionen. Aber bei Kohle und Gas muss der Staat mitbestimmen können. Wir wollen Firmen nicht rausschmeißen, aber wir wollen, dass der Staat Mitgesellschafter ist.
STANDARD: Wie würden Sie die Beziehungen zu den USA gestalten?
Humala: Wir wollen mit den USA zusammenarbeiten. Wir sind nicht antiamerikanisch.
STANDARD: Im Mai findet in Wien der EU-Lateinamerika- Gipfel statt. Was erwarten Sie von diesem Treffen?
Humala: Viele dieser Treffen erbringen keine konkreten Ergebnisse. Was ich von Europa erwarte, ist Verständnis, dass die Welt sich nicht weiter entwickeln kann mit Kontinenten und Menschen, die vom ökonomischen Prozess ausgeschlossen werden. Sie leben vor allem in Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika. Es ist die Verantwortung der entwickelten Welt, eine Politik zu entwerfen, die den Armen hilft.
STANDARD: Es wird in Wien auch einen alternativen Gipfel geben, an dem auch Chávez teilnehmen will. Werden Sie auch kommen?
Humala: So wie ich das sehe, ist dieses Alternativtreffen keine Versammlung, um prinzipielle Erklärungen abzugeben. Deshalb wäre es das Beste, dass der peruanische Botschafter in Wien dort hingeht. (DER STANDARD, Printausgabe, 26.4.2006)
Zur Person
Ollanta Humala (43), Vater zweier Töchter, hat eine nationalistische Bewegung in Peru gegründet. Der Ex-Militär ist Bewunderer von General Juan Velasco, der von 1968 bis 1975 ein linksgerichtetes Militärregime in Peru führte. Vater Isaac gilt als Erfinder einer Ideologie namens "Ethnocacerismus", die die Vorherrschaft der "kupferfarbenen Rasse" predigt.
