Noram Starts Sampling on Its Arizaro East Project in the Argentina “Lithium Triangle”
The 2,709 hectares lithium brine-clay prospect is located within the Salar de Arizaro in Salta Province, Argentina
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Noram Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: NRM Frankfurt: N7R OTCBB: NRVTF) (“Noram” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it will start surface and sub-surface sampling on its 2,709 hectares Arizaro East mineral claim located in the eastern portion of the Salar de Arizaro in north-western Argentina in Los Andes Department, Salta Province (see: photo/map).
The focus of the surface and sub surface sampling will be in the area of Arizaro East claim located in Salar de Arizaro (see: map). Sampling will be conducted by means of shallow wells of 1 meter depth with composite samples, homogeneously fractioned concerning the extracted total. The extracted samples will be sent to the SGS laboratory for chemical analysis for lithium detection, results of the samples are expected in Q1 2018.
The company has developed a surface and sub surface plan for a Phase 1 exploration program on the 2,709 hectares as a function of the currently approved Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) that enables basic geophysical and geotechnical exploration of shallow depth. Noram is organizing its exploration team and started logistic preparations for the sampling.
“We are very pleased to have closed on 100% of the acquisition of a land position in Argentina, which will diversify and compliment our existing asset mix of lithium and graphite properties,” said Noram’s President Mark Ireton. “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 lithium and graphite from our properties.”
