Norton Gold Fields Limited ("Norton") [ASX:NGF] advises that
it has changed its financial year end from 30 June to 31
December, effective from 1 July 2012. The change to the

shareholders for the year ended 30 June
2012 will be finalised in accordance with the Corporations
Act and Norton will hold its annual general meeting before 30
November 2012.
Norton will have a transitional 6 month financial year from 1
July 2012 to 31 December 2012, for which it will prepare and
lodge a further annual report. Norton will then have 12 month
financial years running from 1 January to 31 December
following this initial period, and will comply with its
normal periodic reporting obligations in accordance with the
Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
The change to the financial year end will require Norton to
hold a further annual general meeting by 31 May 2013 in
respect of the transitional 6 month financial year ending 31
December 2012. Moving forward, annual general meetings will
be held by 31 May each year for the previous financial year
