(NRM - TSX Venture, NRVTF - OTCMKTS),(\"Noram\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the completion of Phase I drilling at the Jumbo flake-graphite property (the \"Property\"), located in the Slocan Mining Division in southeast British Columbia (See: Figure 1(http://www.noramventures.com/Maps/Kootenays_Figure1.jpg)).  \nPhase I drilling followed the recommendations set out in the National Instrument (NI) 43-101 Technical Report (http://noramventures.com/Technical_Reports/FINAL-Amended_Technical_Report_-_Kokanee_and_Jumbo_Properties.pdf) effective March 6, 2013, which concluded the Property could host significant flake graphite mineralization near surface. A total of 1295 meters (m) of core drilling was completed in eight holes with an average hole depth of 162m. Five  holes were drilled in the Big Flake area, 2 holes in the Black Fly area 7.9 kilometers (km) to the south and 1 hole was drilled in the South Limb area 7.2 km to the southeast (See Figure 2 (http://noramventures.com/Maps/Jumbo_Phase-1-EM.jpg) for drill hole locations).\nAll mineralized intervals of core from the Phase I drilling have now been sampled. Samples are currently being analysed for graphite carbon by SGS Minerals Services in Lakefield, Ontario. Assay results will be reported as they are received\nThe Big Flake area is of primary interest. Preliminary metallurgical testing of a 10 kilogram sample from this area (previously reported on May 16, 2013 (http://noramventures.com/News_Archive/2013/News_05-16-13.html)) indicated that it contained 3.81% (direct measured head grade) 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). \nAbout the Jumbo Property:\nNoram has an option to earn a 100% interest in the large 10,539 hectare (>100 ...
