(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 the 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.
