NORAM TO ACQUIRE ARIZARO EAST PROJECT
IN THE LITHIUM TRIANGLE
The 2,709 hectares lithium brine-clay prospect is located within the Salar de

Frankfurt: N7R) (“Noram” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a an
option agreement to a cquire up to a 100% interest in the Arizaro East lithium brine-clay project.
The 2,709 hectares Arizaro East mineral claim is located in the eastern portion of the Salar de
Arizaro in north-western Argentina in Los Andes Department, Salta Province (see: Photo/Map).
The Salar de Arizaro and is largely underexplored despite being situated in the “Lithium
Triangle”. Other miners and explorers advancing lithium projects in the region include ERAMET
and Lithium X.
The geological setting of the Arizaro East Property includes saline beaches with stationary wind
and fluvial deposits. The southern part of the Property is composed of fine sediments, sands and
clays of Quaternary age, with the presence of salt at surface. The northern part of the Property is
composed by sandstones, volcanic sandstones, siltstone, pelites, tufa, gypsum and halite that
correspond to deposits of Tertiary age. Mineral occurrences include lithium, borates, sulfates with
halite and gypsum.
An Environmental Impact Assessment has been recently approved by the Salta Mining
Authorities, which enables exploration and confirmation of the Property’s potential to host lithium
in the sediments.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Noram can acquire up to a 100% interest in the Property,
subject to TSX and other regulatory approvals in consideration of the following share issuances
and payment:
(a) Issue 28,500,000 common shares of Noram Ventures Inc. on or before July 23rd 2017,

Argentina, which will diversify and compliment our existing asset mix of lithium and graphite
properties,” said Noram’s President Mark Ireton. “The Arizaro East property being clay based at
surface fits into Noram’s strategy of developing nanofiltration technology to extract lithium from
both clay and brine hosts. And our research to date suggest s this can be accomplished
economically, environmentally effectively and efficiently. Our focus is not only on finding and
developing lithium and graphite deposits, but also on sourcing and supporting new,
environmentally-friendly, processing techniques to produce our lithium and graphite products.”
