Noram Ventures Inc. ("Noram" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NRM), is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an option agreement dated August 23, 2012 (the
"Agreement") with Bruce Doyle and Grant Doyle (the "Optionors"), to acquire a
100% interest (the "Option") in certain mining claims located near Nakusp,
British Columbia in the Slocan Mining District (the "Property"). The Agreement
remains subject to acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").


To exercise the Option, Noram must make cash payments in the aggregate amount of
$205,000 and issue a total of 1,400,000 common shares to the Optionors, all over
a two year period. The Agreement does not contain provisions for certain
mandated exploration expenditures to be carried out by Noram, rather Noram may
conduct such work programs as it deems suitable. 


Following exercise of the Option, the Optionors will retain a 3% net smelter
returns royalty (the "NSR Royalty"). The NSR Royalty is subject to a buy-back
right of the Company, at any time prior to commencement of commercial
production, to purchase one-third (1/3) of the NSR Royalty from the Optionors at
a cost of $1,000,000. The terms of the NSR Royalty also provide that commencing
on the 36 month anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement, the minimum
annual payment payable to the Optionors pursuant to the NSR Royalty will be
$20,000, with any shortfall of this minimum payment to be made up by Noram
through a cash payment to the Optionors.


Graphite

The Property consists of three individual contiguous claim groups, the Black
Fly, Mosquito and the Fisher, which are a new large flake graphite discovery
covering an area of 10,435 hectares (40.29 square miles) located on the west
side of Upper Arrow Lake, British Columbia. With this new acquisition and the
claim group located near Crawford Bay, British Columbia (the "Crawford Bay
Property") optioned by Noram earlier this year, Noram now has four graphite
claim groups under option. The Black Fly, Mosquito and the Fisher claim groups
have had a limited amount of exploration work to date however there are
widespread surface graphite outcroppings that will require further
investigation.


The Crawford Bay Property, which is located on Kootenay Lake and covers an area
of 1659 hectares (6.4 square miles), has undergone extensive exploration work
dating back to the 1900s with documented exploration dates to the 1970s. All of
the previous work focused on the base metal potential of the property.
Information obtained from this previous work located an EM (electromagnetic)
anomaly over a strike length of 2000 meters and width of 250 to 300 meters and
to a depth of at least 100 meters. Samples collected from this zone confirm the
prescience of wide spread graphite with assays ranging from 1.75% to 7%
graphite.


Copper, Molybdenum

Noram also has the Silver Hill property (the "Silver Hill Property") under
option. The Silver Hill Property is located in South Eastern British Columbia in
the Revelstoke Mining Division and covers an area of 2784 hectares (10.74 square
miles). During 2011 Noram completed an exploration program that included a 3D IP
and Magnetic Survey, Geochemical Survey, Reconnaissance Sampling and
Prospecting. The results of this program indicate that further work is required
and a notice of work (a "NOW") has been submitted to the Provincial Government
for a diamond drilling permit. Noram has also submitted a NOW for a diamond
drilling permit for the Crawford Bay Property. These diamond drilling permits
are currently expected to be issued by mid September.
