(TSXV: AA.H) (OTC Pink: AXVEF) (\"Alba\") and Noram Ventures Inc. (TSXV: NRM) (FSE: N7R) (OTCBB: NRVTF) (\"Noram\" or the \"Company\") are pleased to announce the initial sample results from the first 10 holes of the 46-hole Phase I core drilling program that focused on the Zeus portion of its Clayton Valley Lithium Project in Nevada (see Figure 1) (http://www.noramventures.com/Maps/Figure-1_CV-SBE.jpg). The Zeus claims are located within two kilometers (1.25 miles) of Albemarle's Silver Peak Lithium Mine that has been in production since 1966 and is the only lithium-brine production operation in North America. The 10 holes consisted of 139.3 meters (457 feet) of core drilling with an average hole depth of 13.9 meters (45.7 feet) and core sampling done primarily on 1.22 meter (4-foot) intervals. Bradley C. Peek, MSc and Certified Professional Geologist supervised the collection of the cores and samples; and sample analysis was performed by ALS Labs (Reno, NV) on 116 samples from the 10 holes using a 4-acid digestion and MS-ICP methods for 48 elements. Table 1 lists each drill hole's location (NAD 83, Zone 11S), elevation and depth - all in meters. All holes were vertical. All core size was BQ.Table 1 - Drill Hole Location InformationHole IDUTMEastingUTMNorthingApprox.Elev.DepthDipCVZ-01455519.54180579.71369.615.1-90CVZ-02455574.94180542.21353.714.6-90CVZ-03455583.54180419.21357.414.5-90CVZ-04455652.14180441.41357.914.0-90CVZ-05455624.44180375.41360.813.4-90CVZ-06455840.14180350.41362.511.0-90CVZ-07455608.84180596.21356.314.6-90CVZ-08455684.34180599.51357.014.5-90CVZ-09456084.34180778.61369.315.2-90CVZ-12456147.24180742.41371.412.2-90 Drill holes CVZ-01 through CVZ-08 are located in an area measuring approximately 366 meters (1,200 feet) by 213 meters (700 feet ). The other two holes, CVZ-09 and CVZ-12 are located approximately 366 meters (1,200 feet) northeast of the main drill-hole grouping (see Figure 2) (http://www.noramventures.com/Maps/CV_Phase-1-Drill-Hole-Map...
