Noram Ventures Announces Entry Into Option Agreement

Noram Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NRM) ("Noram" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an option agreement dated June 8, 2012 (the
"Agreement"), with Bruce Doyle (the "Optionor"), to acquire a 100% option (the
"Option") in certain mining claims located near Crawford Bay, British Columbia
in the Slocan Mining District (the "Claims"). The Agreement remains subject to
approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").


The terms of the Agreement provide that in order for Noram to exercise the
Option, it must make cash payments in the aggregate amount of $100,000 and issue
a total of 1,000,000 common shares to the Optionor, all over a two year period.
Noram must also carry out a $200,000 work program on the Claims prior to the
second anniversary of the Agreement.


Following exercise of the Option, the Optionor will retain a 3% net smelter
returns royalty (the "NSR Royalty") specific and limited to metals and graphite
and excluding limestone/dolomite and barite less allowable deductions as well as
a mineral returns royalty (the "Mineral Royalty") on limestone/dolomite and
barite in the amount of $0.75 per tonne. The NSR Royalty is subject to a
buy-back right of the Company to purchase up to two-thirds (2/3) of the NSR
Royalty from the Optionor at a cost of $1,000,000 per one-third (1/3) of the NSR
Royalty.


The property is located 50km northeast of Nelson, BC at Crawford Bay on Kootenay
Lake and consists of 16 contiguous claims (81 units) covering an area of 1,730
hectares (4,275 acres).


History of Work: Lead, zinc and silver were recognized in the district dating
back to the late 1800s. The Bluebell Mine is located 15km to the north and was
producing Pb/Zn/Ag ore until 1975. The Crawford Bay property is located in
similar geological strata as the Bluebell and therefore has seen exploration
since the early 1900s. Documented exploration dates to the 1970s, consists of
airborne and ground geophysics, geochemistry geological mapping, and diamond
drilling. Recent explorers included Cominco, Kokanee Exploration, High Ridge
Resources, and Klondike Gold, all focusing on the base metal potential.


Graphite: During the course of this previous exploration several electromagnetic
(EM) anomalies were identified and found to be Graphite bearing. Graphite is a
strong conductor; therefore existing EM date from historical EM surveys is
valuable data for interpreting possible Graphite bearing horizons. One such EM
anomaly extends over a strike length of 2000 meters and has an interpreted width
of 250-300 meters. Rock outcrop exposure along road-cuts across the width of
this anomaly indicates abundant crystalline large flake graphite disseminated
throughout a quartz/mica schist/gneiss.


John R. Kerr. P. Eng. states in his property evaluation report prepared for
Noram dated June 6, 2012: "During the course of drilling, since 1977,
crystalline graphite has been identified in drill core within rocks of the Index
Formation. It was not until the recent economic demand (late 2011) for
crystalline (flake) graphite, was this property considered a potential source of
'flake' graphite." He continues, "The Kokanee Graphite Property (at Crawford
Bay) offers the potential of hosting an economic graphite deposit. Associated EM
anomaly indicates a potential 2000 meter strike length and a 250-300 meter
width. Depth is unknown, however limited (historic) drilling (4 holes) indicates
potential depths of at least 100 meters. Average grade of seven samples
collected across the full width indicate 1.75% graphite. The western half of the
target indicates an average grade of 2.3% graphite."


Noram has filed a notice of work and will commence a first phase six-hole
diamond drilling program totaling 1500 meters once permits are issued, subject
to receipt of Exchange approval for the Option Agreement.


John R. Kerr, P. Eng. is the Qualified Person who has read and approved the
