AGM HELD ON JULY 19, 2023

July 24, 2023: West Vancouver, BC; Surge Battery Metals Inc. (the “ Company” or “ Surge”) (TSXV:

NILI, OTC: NILIF, FRA: DJ5C)

The Company is pleased to announce that at the Company's 2023 AGM held on July 19, 2023 (the

"AGM"), Dr. Vijay Mehta, Greg Reimer, Graham Harris, Iain Scarr and Ted O'Connor were elected as

directors of the Company for the ensuing year. The election of Dr. Mehta came after the resignation

of Robert Culbert from the Board of Directors which resignation was announced by the Company on

July 13, 2023. Mr. Culbert's resignation occurred after the mailing of the Company's management

information circular for the AGM.

As well, at the AGM shareholders approved the Company's proposed new omnib us security based

compensation plan (the "New Plan"). The New Plan provides for the grant of up to that number of

incentive stock options, on a "rolling" basis, which is equal to five (5%) percent of the issued and

outstanding shares at the time of the gr ant. The New Plan also provides for the issuance of up to

7,109,000 restricted share units (the "RSUs") and 7,109,000 performance share units (the "PSUs").

No PSUs or RSUs have been granted by the Company. Those previously announced and still

outstanding incentive stock options of the Company granted under the Company's previous security

based compensation plan (the "Previous Stock Option Plan") are continued under the New Plan.

There are a total of 7,100,000 incentive stock options of the Company outstanding as of today's date.

The New Plan, effective on July 19, 2023, replaced the Company's Previous Stock Option Plan. The

New Plan is subject to the final approval of the Exchange. A copy of the New Plan was attached to the

Company's Management Informa tion Circular for the AGM and can be found by accessing the

Company's Issuer Profile on sedar.com and reviewing the Company's June 22, 2023 filing of its

management information circular.

About Surge Battery Metals Inc.

The Company is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company active in the exploration for lithium

in Nevada whose primary listing is on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company's maintains a focus

on exploration for high value battery metals required for the electric vehicle (EV) market.

About the Nevada North Lithium Project

The Company owns a 100% interest, without any royalties, in the Nevada North Lithium

Project, consisting of 243 mineral claims, located in the Granite Range southeast of Jackpot, about

73 km north -northeast of Wells, Elko County, Nevada. The first round of drilling, completed in

October 2022, identified a strongly mineralized zone of lithium bearing clays occupying a strike

length of almost 1,620 meters from drillhole NN2205 in the north to drill hole NN2208 in the south.

Widths of the mineralized horizons are not well determined since t he holes are mostly on a north -

south alignment, however, widths are at least 400 metres, supported by highly anomalous soil values

indicating potential for the clay horizons to be much greater in extent. The potential for a significant

lithium deposit can be illustrated by the results of drillhole NN2207 which intersected the thickest

intervals of lithium-rich claystone encountered to date; a total of 120.4 metres (395 feet) averaging

2

3,943 ppm lithium in four zones. Additionally, drillhole NN2208 had the s trongest downhole

individual sample of 5,950 ppm lithium between 45 and 50 feet (13.72 and 15.24 metres). The

average lithium content within all near surface clay zones intersected in 2022 drilling,

applying a 1000 ppm cut-off, was 3254 ppm.
