(NRM - TSX Venture, NRVTF - OTCMKTS), (\"Noram\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that drilling has commenced on Jumbo flake-graphite property (the \"Property\"), located in the Slocan Mining Division of southern British Columbia (See: Figure 1 (http://www.noramventures.com/Maps/Kootenays_Figure1.jpg)).\nPhase I drilling will follow the recommendations set out in the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report completed in March 2013, which concluded the Property could host a significant resource of commercial grades of flake graphite. The initial drill targets include the South Limb, the Black Fly and the Big Flake areas (See Figure 2 (http://noramventures.com/Maps/Jumbo_Figure8b.jpg)). \nThe Big Flake area being of primary interest as a result of preliminary metallurgical testing previously reported on May 16, 2013 (http://noramventures.com/News_Archive/2013/News_05-16-13.html#.UgOy0pK7L_Y), where a 10 kilogram sample obtained from the area returned high-purity flake graphite with a total of 45.5% of the graphite reporting to or above the large flake category and at an average grade of 96.0% carbon (LOI).\nDrill core samples will be sent to SGS Minerals Services in Lakefield, Ontario for analysis and assay results will be reported as they are received.\nAbout the Jumbo Property:\nNoram has an option to earn a 100% interest in the large 10,539 hectare (>100 square kilometer) Jumbo property, where there is no record of mineral exploration prior to Noram's work that commenced in 2012.\nNoram has taken a multidisciplinary approach to exploration of the Property. Geological mapping and surface sampling carried out as follow up to a SkyTEM airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey have indentified an overall strike length of 35 kilometers (km) of favourable graphite horizon. A sinuous conductive (EM anomaly) feature from a few hundred mete...
