About Surge Battery Metals Inc. surgebatterymetals.com
The Company is a Canadian-based mineral explorationcompany active in the exploration for nickel-iron alloy in BritishColumbia and lithium in Nevada whoseprimary listing is on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company'smaintains a focus on exploration for high value battery metalsrequired for the electric vehicle (EV) market.
Nevada Lithium Projects
The Company owns a 100% interest in 154 mineral claimslocated in Elko County, Nevada. The Nevada North Lithium Project is in the Granite Range southeast of Jackpot, Nevada, about73 km north-northeast of Wells, Nevada. The target is a lithium claydeposit in volcanic tuff and tuffaceous sediments of the JarbidgeRhyolite package. The project area was first identified in publicdomain stream sediment geochemical data with follow up sedimentsampling and geologic reconnaissance returning assay results forlithium ranging from 29.1 ppm to 5,120 ppm. Significant resultsincluded 89 samples outlining a highly anomalous zone containing samplepoints greater than 1,000 ppm lithium . Currently, the zone of highly anomalouslithium values extends about 1,700 meters east-west in two bands eachabout 300 to 400 meters wide. The anomalous values appear to be insoils developed on airfall or water lain rhyolitic tuff overlain bywelded ash flow tuff.
In addition, the Company has a Property OptionAgreement to earn an undivided 80% interest in 16 mineral claims,comprising 640 acres located within Nevada's San Emidio Desert, knownas the GaltProperty . Recent mineral exploration on theGalt claim group includes 51 playa sediment samples collected forchemical analysis at ALS Geochemistry in Vancouver, B.C. Results ofaqua regia leaching of the samples show 68 to 852 parts per millionlithium (mean 365 ppm), 5.3 to 201 ppm cesium (mean 72 ppm) and 35 to377 ppm rubidium (mean 180 ppm). Results from two seven-foot-deepauger holes show lithium, cesium, and rubidium concentrations in therange of 143.5 to 773 ppm Li, 56.8 to 102.5 ppm Cs and 155 to 272Rb.
Finally, the Company owns a 100% interest in 663 ha(1,640 acre) property in the Teels Marsh Project located in Mineral County,Nevada. The property is in an active region for both lithiumexploration and production.

The Project (The Surge Nickel Project) consists of twonon-contiguous mineral claims groups consisting of 6 mineral claim blocks located in northern British Columbia .

Three of the claims are subject to 2% NSR, including the(HN4 claim and the two southernmost claims of the N100 claim group).Both projects target the nickel-iron alloymineral “Awaruite”, hosted by serpentinized intrusive rocks of theTrembleur Ultramafic Unit.
