VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2021 / Noram Ventures Inc. ("Noram" or the "Company") (TSX - Venture:NRM / Frankfurt:N7R / OTCQB:NRVTF) is pleased to announce the assay results of CVZ-67, completed at a depth of 502 ft (153 m). The first 202 feet (61.6 m) were drilled through surface gravel before reaching the clay and mudstone units within the Esmeralda Formation. A 19-foot (5.8 m) thick section of brown sandy mudstone was intersected, followed by 11 feet (3.6 m) of tan claystone. From there on to the end of the hole, 232-502 feet (70.7-153 m), the hole penetrated the blue and blue-black clays that consistently carry the higher lithium grades. The interval from 282-502 feet (61.6-153.0) contained 220 feet (67.1 m) averaging 1000 ppm Li. As can be seen from the attached CVZ-67 strip log, the hole ended with a lithium grade of 1220 ppm Li and the grade appeared to be increasing with depth.
"This is another phenomenal drill hole that is bound to have a profound effect on the size and grade of the next resource calculation," states Brad Peek, MSc, CPG, and Qualified Person under NI 43-101 guidelines with regard to Noram Ventures' Zeus lithium clay deposit.

Table 1 - Summary of Figure 1a Strip Log, describing the lithologies of CVZ-67 from surface to depth of 502 ft (153 m).
Samples were sent to ALS Labs in North Vancouver. These lakebed sediments have shown very uniform lithologies and lithium grades over large areas of Clayton Valley.
