Testing will determine the viability of membrane separation of lithium carbonate directly from the mineralized claystones
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2016 / Noram Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: NRM Frankfurt: N7R) ("Noram" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of bulk sampling on its South Block (Zeus and Hades) lithium claim groups in Nevada's Clayton Valley (see Figure 1). The lithium-rich claystone samples have been send to Membrane Development Specialists LLC (MDS) to test the viability of membrane separation of lithium from the claystone material (August 2, 2016).
The focus of the bench testing is to substantiate the recovery yield of lithium carbonate directly from the mineralized claystones using MDS's environmentally friendly system.
Bulk samples weighing approximately 50 kg each have been collected from two locations on the Zeus and Hades claim groups. The first bulk sample was collected from the same area on the Zeus claims as samples ZS-2-029 through ZS-2-031 that averaged 917 ppm lithium. The second bulk sample was from the spoils pile surrounding the previously announced borehole discovered on the Hades claims (July 22, 2016). Three samples previously collected from the spoils pile averaged 933 ppm lithium.
Bradley Peek, MSc and CPG, as independent technical consultant supervised the collection of the bulk samples.
