Vancouver, British Columbia – October 22, 2018 – Noram Ventures Inc. (“Noram” or the “Company”) (TSX - Venture: NRM / Frankfurt: N7R / OTCBB: NRVTF is pleased to provide a corporate update. After a highly successful Phase II Drill Program, the Company plans to proceed with Phase III drilling once permitted.

Phase II Drill Program, Zeus Property, Clayton Valley, Nevada

The PHASE II drill program comprised of new core from the deepening of 9 core drill holes within the area of Noram’s previously announced inferred resource of 17 million tonnes at a grade of 1060 ppm lithium (which equates to 96,476 metric tonnes of LCE). The complete technical report disclosing the resource is available under Noram’s profile on SEDAR.

The previous drilling on which the inferred resource was based reached an average depth of 14.3 meters. The 9 holes were deepened to an average depth of 82.2 meters, which is 5.75 times the previous average depth used in the resource estimate.

Data from the Phase II drilling were summarized in Table 1 of the news release dated August 13, 2018 and available through SEDAR. The mineralization remains open in all directions and at depth. The area of the deeper drilling has tested only a small fraction of the area covered by Noram’s claim holdings.

Based on the continued success of this area, the Company has chosen to maximize value by focusing its efforts on the expansion of the existing resource. The Company has maintained the entirety of the Zeus area including both placer and lode claims, while allowing the ancillary claims comprising the extensions to lapse. All three drill programs to date have been conducted on the Zeus Property which covers an area of approximately 3,000 acres in the Clayton Valley. This area is comparable in size to the area held by Cypress Development Corp. which is comprised of 4,220 acres located immediately adjacent to the Zeus Property. Cypress recently released a Preliminary Economic Assessment on their project available for review on SEDAR or alternatively at www.cypressdevelopmentcorp.com.

Phase III Drill Program, Zeus Property, Clayton Valley, Nevada

The Company also intends to expand the Phase III drill program which is designed to develop the existing resource. The Company previously announced that 11 holes would be drilled to ~100 m depth to extend the mineralization to the south and the east of the current resource area. The Company has increased this to 17 holes drilled to this depth. Following this new drilling, it is expected that a new resource estimate will be determined, with a goal of completing an updated estimate by the end of Q1 2019.

Legal Update

In an effort to expedite the current legal proceedings involving trespassing on the Zeus Property, the Company has filed a notice of motion for preliminary injunction in the State of Nevada. If granted, the injunctive relief requires Centrestone Resources LLC (“Centrestone”) to refrain from (a) entering onto or upon the area delineated by the exterior boundaries of the claims for the purpose of exploring for minerals, mining, excavating, extracting, removing or carrying away any earth, rock or minerals from within the vertical planes formed by the boundaries of the claims; and (b) from constructing on the claims any equipment, improvements, infrastructure, or other installations which might delay, hinder, interfere with, or otherwise obstruct the mineral exploration, development and mining operations of Noram. A hearing time and date will be set by the Fifth Judicial district court of the State of Nevada in and for the County of Esmeralda. The Company expects that the injunction will be granted and intends to move forward aggressively and proactively to bring this issue to a close.
