(NRM - TSX Venture), is pleased to report that it has engaged SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario (\"SGS\") to initiate metallurgical testing on samples from the Jumbo Flake-Graphite Property (the \"Property or \"Jumbo\"), located in the Central Kootenay Region of southeastern British Columbia (See: Figure 1: http://www.noramventures.com/Maps/Kootenays_Figure1.jpg). \nThe metallurgical work consists of a series of mechanical operations including crushing and grinding to liberate the graphite followed by rougher and cleaner flotation. The two initial samples sent to SGS are from the Big Flake and Black Fly areas of the Property. The Big Flake sample lies within the Property's favourable graphite horizon, while the Black Fly sample is outside the horizon.  \nAs previously reported, the Jumbo is a new flake-graphite discovery made in 2012 and there is no record of previous mineral exploration on the large >100 square kilometer (km) Property. Geological mapping and surface sampling carried out as follow up to a SkyTEM airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey identified an overall strike length of 35km of favourable graphite horizon. A sinuous conductive (EM anomaly) feature, with widths ranging from a few hundred meters to 2km, appears to be outlining a tightly folded sedimentary horizon (See Figure 8b: http://www.noramventures.com/Maps/Jumbo_Figure8b.jpg). \nThe work being carried out by SGS is in follow up to recommendations contained in the recently completed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR (http://www.sedar.com/DisplayProfile.do?lang=EN&issuerType=03&issuerNo=00031548), March 8, 2013. The Technical Report concluded that there is every indication that the Jumbo can host a significant resource of commercial grades of flake graphite. It further identified three spe...
