Norseman Gold plc, the AIM listed Australian gold production company, held an Extraordinary General Meeting today 
and all resolutions were duly passed.  Accordingly the 1 for 5 share consolidation of the Company’s existing ordinary 
shares will take place at the close of business today, 17th January 2008 (“Share Consolidation”).
 
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the new ordinary shares of the Company being admitted to trading on AIM.  
Accordingly, application has been made for the admission of the new ordinary shares to trading on AIM.  It is expected that 
admission will become effective at 8.00 am on 18 January 2008, whereupon the Share Consolidation will be effective and the 
share capital of the Company will be 79,790,000 ordinary shares of £0.0125 each.
 
Apart from the change in nominal value, the new ordinary shares arising on implementation of the Share Consolidation will 
have the same rights as the existing ordinary shares, including voting, dividend and other rights.
