Vancouver, British Columbia – January 9, 2024 – Nor seman Silver Inc. (TSXV:NOC) (“ Norseman ” or the
“Company ”) is pleased to announce that, further to its press release of December 5, 2023 it has closed its
previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “ Private Placement ”) of 12,615,000 units
(each a “ Unit ”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit for aggregate proceeds of $1,261,500.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the C ompany (each, a “ Share ”) and one half of one
common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “ Warrant ”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder
to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 for
a period of two years from the date of issuance.
The process proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for exploration on Norseman’s projects in
Argentina and British Columbia, Canada, and for general working capital.
Finder’s fees of $79,600 cash and 796,000 Warrants have been paid in connection with the Private
Placement to qualified parties. The Warrants issue d to the finders have an exercise price of $0.15 fo r a
period of two years from the date of issuance.
All securities issued are subject to a statutory fo ur month and one day hold period from the date of
issuance pursuant to applicable securities laws of Canada.
Three directors of the Company, John Seaman, J. Cam pbell Smyth and Sean Hurd, participated in the
private placement and acquired and aggregate 815,00 0 units for $81,500. The participation of Mr.
Seaman, Mr. Smyth and Mr. Hurd in the private placement constitutes a Related Party Transaction within
the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The board of directors of the Company, with Mr. Seaman, Mr. Smyth and Mr.
Hurd abstaining, determined that the transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for the related
party transaction, as neither the fair market value of securities issued to the insiders nor the consideration
paid by the insiders exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a
material change report in respect of the transactio n 21 days in advance of the closing of the private
placement because insider participation had not bee n confirmed. The shorter period was necessary in
order to permit the Company to close the private placement in a timeframe consistent with usual market
practices for transactions of this nature.
