VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2021 / Noram Ventures Inc. ("Noram" or the "Company") (TSXV:NRM)(Frankfurt:N7R)(OTCQB:NRVTF) is pleased to announce the completion of CVZ-67 at a depth of 502 ft (153 m) and is the deepest hole drilled to date showing mineralization below 400 ft. An intersection of approximately 281 ft (85.6 m) of favourable claystones was evident and drilling ended in blue claystone which has been shown in past programs to host significant amounts of lithium. CVZ-67 was the farthest southeast hole that will be drilled in this Phase V drilling program.

Table 1 - Summary of Figure 1a Strip Log, describing the lithologies of CVZ-67 from surface to depth of 502 ft (153 m).
The core hole passed through a probable fault zone around 310 feet (94.5 m). The angle of the bedding in the core changed below that point and was tilted at angles varying from 10° to 25° for the remainder of the hole. The tilting should not have affected the grade of the lithium mineralization but indicates that the drill hole passed into a fault block that is somewhat tilted in relation to nearby blocks. Block faulting is a normal occurrence in the Basin and Range physiographic province of the western United States.
"This is another important drill hole for Noram. It is the deepest drilled to date with visually favourable claystones apparent at the bottom. We were very pleased to see this and expect the results to be consistent based upon the yield of these claystones from prior drilling. The Company has not previously drilled in this area, nor at these depths; consequently, the results will significantly impact the resource modelling. From visual inspection alone, it appears that CVZ-67 once again confirms our theories on both the dip and direction of the resource" commented Brad Peek, consulting geologist and Qualified Person for all drilling phases of Noram's Zeus lithium property.
Samples were sent to ALS Labs in North Vancouver on a rush basis and assays are pending. These lakebed sediments have shown very uniform lithologies and lithium grades over large areas of Clayton Valley.
