New Lithium Clay Deposits Targeted

VANCOUVER - Surge Battery Minerals Inc. has finalized plans to acquire 38 mineral claims, located in Township 44 North, Range 65 East, Sections 13, 14, 23, and 24. The claims are valid and have been properly recorded with both the US Bureau of Land Management and the Elko County, Nevada Recorder.  The Company refers to this series of mineral claims as the Northern Nevada Lithium Project.

Greg Reimer, President & CEO, said, “Nevada is well known for its lithium projects and lithium potential in both brine and clay-based mineral deposits.  We are very excited to have found some prospective ground in Nevada that shows some geological promise and strong initial lithium readings.  Nevada is an area of focus for several mineral exploration companies including lithium producer Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), and several prolific lithium explorers like Pure Energy Minerals (TSXV: PE) and Cypress Development Corp. (TSXV: CYP). Over time, the Company is planning an additional staking program in the region to strategically add to our land position.  This new staking program will target known sedimentary horizons with potential for lithium bearing clay deposits.”
