FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORAM PROVIDES UPDATE ON PHASE 1

DRILLING PROGRAM AND STATUS OF MAIDEN

RESOURCE FOR ITS CLAYTON VALLEY

LITHIUM PROJECT

Noram is one of the largest holders of lithium claims in Nevada’s Clayton Valley

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 2 5th, 201 7 – Noram Ventures Inc. ( TSX-Venture: NRM /

Frankfurt: N7R / OTCBB: NRVTF ) ("Noram" or the "Company ") is pleased to provide an update on

the National Instrument (NI) 43 -101 technical report (the "Technical Report") that is being prepared on its

South Block (Zeus, Zeus XT and Hades) lithium claim groups in Nevada’s Clayton Valley (see Figure 1).

The Company's exploration and core drilling to date on the Clayton Valley properties has been very

encouraging. The large amount of data collected is taking additional time to analy ze and has resulted in

additional holes being planned to augment the Phase 1 drilling. The initial portion of the Phase 1 drilling

yielded lithium assays ranging from 162.5 ppm to 2380 ppm with a weighted average value of 907.8 ppm

Li. The extension of the Phase I drilling program is expected to provide in -fill holes as well as some

additional regional geological information about Noram’s extensive South Block claim holdings.

The Company has been advised that the Technical Report has been materially completed and is currently

undergoing final review and revision. Given the positive results, the Company has been further advised that

the Technical Report will include a maiden lithium carbonate resource estimate, as sufficient drilling has

been completed to establish such an inferred resource.

“We are extremely pleased with the results from our Phase 1 drilling program and expect to have our

initial lithium resource estimate completed shorty. We are advancing to the science stage of the project and

additional expertise has been engaged to consult with Noram’s manag ement on next steps in the lithium

extraction process ,” said Mark Ireton President and CEO of Noram. “The Phase 1 results will also be

instrumental in planning our Phase 2 drilling program that will encompass the Spartan and Hades claims

and enable us to determine the lithium potential of our entire South Block property.”

Noram has amassed one of the largest land packages in Nevada’s Clayton Valley. Its non -contiguous North

and South Blocks now total 888 claims covering 17,738 acres and a re positioned both north and south of

Albemarle’s Silver Peak mine, North America’s only lithium producer.

Bradley Peek, MSc and CPG , who is a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43 -101, is

currently completing the final resource estimate calculations for the Technical Report , which will then be

submitted to IIROC and the TSX Venture Exchange for approval, before the final report is filed under the

Company’s profile on www.SEDAR.com.
