About Surge Exploration Inc.
The Company is a Canadian‐based mineral exploration company which has been active in the
resource sector in British Columbia and elsewhere in Canada.
Vancouver Island – Caledonia Property (Poly Metallic – Silver Copper), British Columbia
The Company has acquired a 100% interest, subject to a 1% NSR in four mineral claims adjoining the
recently acquired Caledonia, Cascade and Bluebell claims (the “Caledonia Project”) located near
Quatse Lake in the Nanaimo Mining District of northern Vancouver Island. The acquisition is subject
to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The Company has an option to earn a 100% interest, subject to a 2% NSR in the Caledonia Project.
The Caledonia Project is adjacent to the east side of a joint venture between Freeport-McMoRan
and Northisle Copper and Gold Inc . Under terms of that joint venture agreement, Freeport‐
McMoRan can earn up to a 65% with C$24 million in exploration expenditures over seven years.
Freeport‐McMoRan is currently one of the world’s largest copper producers.

This acquisition by Surge will allow for the exploration of possible strike extensions of high grade
mineralization to the east and the west from the Caledonia Project underground workings. The
combined land position of the Caledonia Project is 1,741 hectares. Additionally, the Caledonia Project
lies within a 50‐kilometer‐long copper belt and only 4 km northwest of BHP’s previously producing
Island Copper Mine (Canada’s third‐largest copper producing mine responsible for extracting 345
million metric tonnes @ 0.41% Cu, 0.017% Mo, 0.19 g/t Au, and 1.4 g/t Ag).
Golden Triangle – Trapper Lake Property (Copper Gold), British Columbia
The Company owns 100% interest in the Golden Triangle – Trapper Lake Group of 23 mineral claims
which are located in the prolific Golden Triangle Region of northwestern British Columbia
approximately 90 km ENE from Juneau, Alaska. Surges’ staking program totals an area of
approximately 325 sq. km within the regionally important geological and structural trend. A large
portion of the new property is adjacent to the Thorn Project owned by Brixton Metal’s Corp.
(“Brixton”, TSXV: BBB) with the balance covering prospective open ground containing numerous
B.C. Minfile showings with Cu, Ag, Au values adjoining the boundaries of the Golden Bear Mine, a
480,000 oz Au past producer.
In Brixton’s news release dated July 15, 2019 (Brixton News Release), they reported results from drill
hole THN19‐150, which was drilled to 829.06 metres depth at the Oban diatreme breccia pipe within
the Camp Creek copper corridor. Brixton reported a drill hole intercept of 1.97 grams per tonne gold
equivalent across 554.70 meters including 135.96 meters of 1.35 g/t Au, 0.31% Cu, 133.62 g/t Ag or
5.00 g/t Au eq including 6 meters of 3.56% Cu, 3.37 g/t Au, 257.77 g/t Ag. Structural mapping and
soil‐rock geochemistry at the Chivas zone and relogging of select core from the Glenfiddich zone were
also conducted as part of the overall exploration program at the Thorn Project. Of note,
mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of
mineralization hosted on the Company's properties.
Mineral Mountain Properties (Copper Gold) British Columbia
The Company owns a 100% interest in the Omineca Group of 12 claim blocks which are located in
the Omineca Mining Division of north‐central British Columbia, approximately 150 km north of Fort
St. James. The claims are not subject to any royalty terms, back‐in rights, payments or any other
agreements and encumbrances.
B.C. Minfile assessment report data indicates that most of the area covered by the Omineca Group
claim blocks were at one time or another covered by staking during surges of exploration in B.C.
dating from the 1940’s to present day. Largely the claims appear to have been minimally explored
with little follow‐up. However, some work was recorded on several claims with results for stream
sediment sampling showing anomalous to highly anomalous results for gold in a few areas. These
areas were recommended for detailed follow‐up, however due to a previous commodity price
downturn no further work was recorded.
Prominent among early discoveries in the Omineca region were the nearby Lustdust/Stardust
property (Sun Metals Corp. TSXV: SUNM ) covering a large, coherent integrated porphyry‐skarn‐
manto, epithermal system; the Kwanika property ( Serengeti Resources Inc./POSCO
Daewoo TSXV: SIR) a promising advanced stage copper‐gold project; the Lorraine property ( Teck
Resources and Sun Metals) host to a significant copper gold NI 43‐101 resource. The Surge tenures
are located between the Kemess North project being developed by Centerra Gold ’s
subsidiary Aurico Metals and Centerra Gold’s operation Mt Milligan mine. Of note, mineralization
hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted
on the Company's properties.
