[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Noram Ventures Inc. (TSX-Venture: NRM / Frankfurt: N7R / OTCBB: NRVTF (“Noram” or the “Company”) and Alba Minerals Ltd. (“Alba”) (TSX-V: AA.V: AXVEF:US Frankfurt: A117RU) are pleased to announce their subsidiary Green Energy Resources (“Green Energy”) has applied to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for an expansion of the initial prospecting permit and undertake additional exploration and resource definition drilling on the Clayton Valley lithium project (see claim map). A total of 20 holes are planned for three areas as an extension of the 46-hole Phase I drilling program completed earlier this year. Four exploration holes in Area 1 adjacent to the bore hole (Photo 1) on the Hades claims and four exploration holes in Area 2 on the Zeus Extension claims. Areas 1 and 2 each received one core hole during the first round of drilling with very encouraging results and assays up to 1290 ppm lithium. The other 12 holes will be drilled in Area 3 and are designed to infill and expand upon the close spaced drilling that formed the basis of the maiden inferred resource estimate previously announced on the Zeus claim block. The locations of these additional drill holes are not expected to require any additional pad or access road construction over and above a disturbance of 5 acres, which is the upper limit of disturbance for a BLM Notice of Intent permit. In accordance with applicable BLM and Nevada Division of Minerals (Division) regulations Green Energy submitted the exploration plan of operations to supplement the Notice of Intent to conduct exploration coring that upon implementation is designed to demonstrate the existence of additional valuable lithium resources within the prospect area. Activities are anticipated to be completed within one month following the receipt of the permit and posting of the reclamation bond. The activities are to include drilling, core logging, splitting, photography, analysis, and core hole plugging. Following core hole plugging, incidental surface reclamation will begin as soon as weather permits. We are pleased to be expanding our drilling program after the encouraging results from our recently published N.I. 43-101,” said Mark Ireton, CEO and President. “We are progressing well and particularly pleased with results given the small 5 acre footprint ...
