Norsemont Continues to Expand Mineralized Zones in Step-Out Drilling at the Constancia Project

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

Norsemont Mining Inc.
("Norsemont" or "the Company") (TSX-V: NOM;  Frankfurt: N8S; WKN:
A0DQKK; OTC-BB: NOMFF; ISIN: CA6565291045) is pleased  to announce
results from five more Phase II diamond drill holes targeting  the
Constancia and San Jose Zones at the Constancia Copper-Molybdenum-
Silver Porphyry Project in southern Peru.
     Highlights:
     -   Hole CO-06-57:   84 metres at 0.81% Copper (0.93% Copper Equivalent)
               and        80 metres at 0.82% Copper (0.96% Copper Equivalent)
     -   Hole CO-06-59:   16 metres at 0.75% Copper (0.89% Copper Equivalent)
     -   Hole CO-06-61:   98 metres at 0.67% Copper (0.77% Copper Equivalent)
               and        26 metres at 0.71% Copper (0.77% Copper Equivalent)
"We continue to extend the mineralized zones with each step-out
hole  we drill," said Marc E. Levy, CEO of Norsemont Mining Inc. "Bob
Baxter,  Norsemont's recently appointed President, is currently at
the Constancia  site familiarizing himself with the project and
staff. His experience and  knowledge will help move this project
toward development."

     Note 1: Copper equivalent Values (CuEQ) are estimated using long-term
     metal prices including: Copper US$1.20 per lb, Molybdenum US$8.00 per lb,
     and Silver US$7.50 per oz. Adjustment factors to account for differences
     in relative metallurgical recoveries will depend upon the completion of
     definitive metallurgical testing.
     CuEQ equals Cu per cent plus Mo percent times (8.00/1.20) plus Ag grams
     per tonne times 0.24/(1.20(x)22.05).
Drill hole CO-06-57 is located in the vicinity of hole CO-05-19
and  extends the western margin of the known mineralization within
the  Constancia Zone. The hole contains chalcopyrite-bearing skarn to
a depth of  approximately 120 metres, below which is secondary
chalcocite and mixed  chalcocite/chalcopyrite to the bottom of the
hole at 191.7 metres.
Hole CO-06-58 extends the mineralization within the San Jose Zone
to  the north-east. Copper mineralization is chalcopyrite in skarn.
Hole CO-06-59 extends the mineralization within the San Jose Zone
to  the south-east. Copper mineralization is mixed secondary
chalcocite and  chalcopyrite in the upper portion, and chalcopyrite
in skarn at depth.
Hole CO-06-60 extends the mineralization within the Constancia
Zone to  the south-west. Copper mineralization is mixed secondary
chalcocite and  chalcopyrite.
Hole CO-06-61 extends the mineralization within the Constancia
Zone to  the south. The hole contains copper mineralization as
chalcopyrite in skarn  in the upper portion, and mixed secondary
chalcocite and primary  chalcopyrite at depth.
The majority of future holes will be step-out holes on 100 metre
centers, similar to the program carried out in 2005, for the purpose
of  calculating a resource estimate for the property. Two drill rigs
are  currently operating on site.
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, who has
reviewed and approved the  information contained in this news
release. 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.
A plan map with drill hole locations is available on Norsemont's
website at www.norsemont.com.
