FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NORAM ENGAGES AUTEC INNOVATIVE EXTRACTIVE SOLUTIONS
TO PROVIDE AN INDEPENDENT REPORT ON THE MDS MEMBRANE LITHIUM
METALLURGICAL TEST PROCESS
Noram moving ahead with a 10 tonne bulk process lithium separation tests
Vancouver, British Columbia – May 31st 2017 – Noram Ventures Inc. (TSX-Venture: NRM / Frankfurt: N7R /
OTCBB: NRVTF ) ("Noram" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has engaged Autec
Innovative Extractive Solutions to provide an independent report on the MDS membrane lithium metallurgical
bench test process. The focus of the bench test was to substantiate the recovery yield of lithium carbonate
directly from the mineralized clays using MDS’s environmentally friendly system.
Bulk samples weighing approximately 50 kg each were collected from two locations on the Zeus and Hades claim
groups. The first bulk sample was collected from the same locality as samples ZS -2-029 through ZS -2-031 on the
Zeus claims. The previous samples were part of Noram’s Phase II sampling program and were 3 vertical chip samples
that covered a 12 foot (3.66 m) section of stratigraphy. The samples averaged 917 ppm Li. The second bulk sample
was from the spoil pile of the previously announced borehole discovered on the Hades claims (July 22, 2016). Three
samples previously collected from th e spoil pile averaged 933 ppm Li . These lithium rich clay samples were sent to
Membrane Development Specialists LLC (MDS) to test the viability of membrane separation of Lithium from the clay
material.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Bradley Peek, MSc and
CPG, who is a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43 -101 with respect to Noram’s Clayton Valley
Claim Group Project.
