NEWS RELEASE
Surge Acquires Copper-Gold Mineral Mountain
Property in the Omineca Mining Division in
North Central British Columbia
Vancouver, BC – November 28th, 2018 –Surge Exploration Inc. (“the Company” or “Surge”) (TSXV:
SUR, OTC: SURJF, FRA: DJ5C) announces that it has entered into Purchase and Sale Agreement with
Venture Capital IQ Inc. dated November 27, 2018 (the “Agreement”) whereby Surge has acquired
100% interest in 9 mineral claims comprising 19,665 hectares (197 sq km) located in North Central
British Columbia. The region is host to numerous operating mines, good infrastructure including
experienced exploration and supporting services. The transaction is subject to TSX Venture
Exchange (“Exchange”) approval.
“We’re excited at Surge Exploration to acquire approximately 200 sq. km’s (85 sq. mi) of tenures in
such a propitious area of BC.” commented the Honourable Bill Bennett, Surge director and three‐time
former BC Energy & Mines Minister. “This area of the Province has already generated several
promising projects, and our land package is strategically situated to exploit the high copper‐gold
values of the region. BC is a mining‐friendly jurisdiction with reasonable processes, good
infrastructure and potential First Nation partners – extending Surge’s land holdings from Chile and
Ontario to this region of BC makes our company stronger.”
About the Property
The Omineca Group of 9 claim blocks (see map) lie 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,
epithermal system; the Kwanika property (Serengeti Resources Inc./POSCO Daewoo TSXV: SIR) a
promising advanced stage copper‐gold project; the Lorraine property (Lorraine Copper Corp. TSXV:
LLC) host to a large copper/gold NI 43‐101 compliant resource. The 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.

Once a detailed compilation of all available data has been collected and assessed, management will
prepare a plan and budget for an exploration program to be carried out once the field season starts
in 2019.
