Continued Intercepts Of Significant Lithium At The Nevada North Project

VANCOUVER - Surge Battery Metals Inc. reported that the second certified assay results from the summer drilling program at the Nevada North Lithium Project returned values ranging from 1,000 ppm to 5820ppm lithium. Samples from sonic drill hole NN2302 (Drill site location M) returned positive results ranging between the 1,000 ppm cutoff to 5820 ppm Li. This includes the highest grade zone which begins at 67.5ft (20.57m) below surface and extends 180 ft (54.86m) with an overall composite grade of 3,985 ppm Li. NN2302 has a composite thickness of intersected clay horizons of 41.2m (135ft), for an overall average grade of 3712 ppm Li. Significantly, the composite grade of clay horizons encountered in NN2302, is 15% higher than the average composite grade of clay horizons intersected in the reverse circulation drillholes completed in 2022.

The 2023 drill site locations were designed to confirm the presence of high tenor lithium clay formations, interpreted from geophysical surveys, extending well outside the bounds of the 2022 program. NN2302 is an approximate 250m (820 ft) step out to the northwest from NN2205 from the 2022 program which produced an overall program average grade of 3,254 ppm with a 1,000 ppm cut off.
