Exploration Program Underway on Surge Battery Metals
100% Owned Northern Nevada Lithium Project
April 13, 2022: Vancouver, BC; Surge Battery Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Surge”) (TSXV: NILI,
OTCPink: NILIF, FRA: DJ5C) is pleased to announce additional soil geochem sampling is underway to
complete the soil survey previously cut short by poor weather conditions at its Nevada North Lithium
Project (NNLP) in Elko County, Nevada. The program is scheduled to be completed before the end of
the month.
Proposed Soil Sample Map – Northern Nevada Lithium Project
Further to preliminary results reported by the Company on December 31, 2021 , and April 6, 2022
Rangefront Mining Services has been contracted to complete a survey of over 500 additional samples
on sampling lines spaced 100 meters apart. This sampling program will expand the area of previous
2
sampling where assay results for lithium ranged from 29.1 ppm to 5,120 ppm Li. Results included
89 samples outlining a highly anomalous zone containing sample points greater than 1,000 ppm
Li. Currently, the zone of highly anomalous samples extends about 1,700 meters east-west in two
bands each about 300 to 400 meters wide. Previous work on the property had returned values up
to 1,500 ppm Li in stream sediment samples. The anomalous samples appear to be in soils
developed on airfall or water lain rhyolitic tuff overlain by welded ash flow tuff. Depending on results
achieved, Surge may decide to expand the size of its mineral claims and soil coverage.
Soil Survey Lithium Results – Northern Nevada Lithium Project
Mr. Greg Reimer, Company President & CEO states: “While the geological understanding and the
depositional model for the highly anomalous lithium results found over a wide, consistent area are
yet to be fully determined, the Company is highly encouraged to continue our exploration efforts in
northern Nevada with the lithium values found to date. Along with having a fully funded 2022
exploration program in Nevada, we are excited to see the results of the current sampling work. These
results which will allow us to continue to work at this new discovery throughout the summer
months.”

About Surge Battery Metals Inc. surgebatterymetals.com
The Company is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company active in the exploration for nickel-
iron alloy and Copper in British Columbia and 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.
Nevada Lithium Claims
The Company owns a 100% interest in 95 mineral claims located in Elko County, Nevada. The
Northern Nevada Lithium Project is located in the Granite Range about 34 line- km southeast of
Jackpot, Nevada, about 73 line-km north-northeast of Wells, Nevada. The target is a Thacker Pass or
Clayton Valley type lithium clay deposit in volcanic tuff and tuffaceous sediments of the Jarbidge
Rhyolite package. The project area was first identified in public domain stream sediment geochemical
data with follow up sediment sampling and geologic reconnaissance.
Additionally, The Company’s’ San Emidio Desert Lithium Project, located 60 miles Northeast of Reno
in the San Emidio Desert, Washoe County, Nevada covers about 5,525 acres (2,235 Ha). The Company
has a Property Option Agreement to earn an undivided 80% interest in 84 association placer claims
covering 4,885 acres (1,975 Ha), subject to a 2% NSR, from Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: LTUM).
The Company also recently completed a Property Option Agreement to earn an undivided 80%
interest 16 minerals claims comprising 640 acres adjoining this property.
The Company owns a 100% interest in 663 ha (1,640 acre) property in the Teels Marsh Playa Mineral
County, Nevada. The property is located in an active region for both lithium exploration and
production.
Nickel Projects, Northern BC
The Company has a Property Option Agreement to earn an undivided 80% interest in certain mineral
claims from Nickel Rock Resources Inc.
The Surge Nickel Project consists of two non-contiguous mineral claims groups consisting of 6
mineral claims in the Mount Sidney Williams area (HN4) covering 1863 hectares immediately south
of and adjacent to the Decar Project and the Mitchell Range area (N100) covering 8659 hectares,
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 claims).
The exploration stage project is in the Trembleur Lake area of central British Columbia, partially
adjacent to FPX Nickel Corp.’s Decar Nickel Project, which is an advanced project targeting awaruite,
a nickel-iron alloy mineral, hosted by serpentinized ultramafic intrusive rocks of the Trembleur
Ultramafic Unit.

Caledonia Project, Vancouver Island, BC
The Company has a Property Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 7 mineral claims
including the Caledonia, Cascade and Bluebell claims, subject to a NSR between 1-2%. The Caledonia
Project claim area lies within a 50-kilometer-long copper belt in the Nanaimo Mining Division on
northern Vancouver Island. The claims are host to widespread copper and gold skarn mineralization
7 km north-west of BHP's past producing Island Copper Mine. During its prime operating period the
Island Copper mine was Canada's third-largest copper producer. Additionally, our property lies
partially adjacent to NorthIsle Copper and Gold currently developing one of the most promising
copper gold porphyry deposits in Canada. Northisle recently completed an updated PEA for its 100%
owned North Island Project and is advancing towards a pre-feasibility study.
