adjoining the Thorn Project owned by Brixton Metals Corp. (“Brixton”) located in the Sutlahine River

new drill hole intercept of 1.97 grams per tonne go ld equivalent across 554.70 meters including
135.96M of 1.35 g/t Au, 0.31 Cu, 133.62 g/t Ag or 5.00 g/t Aueq including 6M of 3.56% Cu, 3.37 g/t
Au, 257.77 g/t Ag.
Surges’ staking program acquired an area of 213 sq. km within the regionally important geological
and structural trend. A large portion of the new pr operty is adjacent to the Thorn Project 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 of Chevron Resources, 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. Structural mapping and soil‐rock geochemistry at the Chivas zone
and relogging of select core from the Glenfiddich z one were also conducted. The objective of the
program was to test for porphyry mineralization at depth at the Oban zone and to refine the two
porphyry targets, Chivas and Camp Creek, for the next round of drilling.
Once all historical exploration data has been assembled and compiled management will announce a
summer evaluation program. The project was acquire d 100% for staking costs of approximately
$40,000.

Mineral Mountain Property
The Company owns a 100% interest in the Omineca Gro up of 12 claim blocks (see map) which are
located in the Omineca Mining Division of north‐cen tral 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 reco rded 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, howe ver due to a previous commodity price
downturn no further work was recorded.
Prominent among early discoveries in the Omineca re gion were the nearby Lustdust/Stardust
property (Sun Metals Corp. TSXV: SUNM) covering a l arge, coherent integrated porphyry‐skarn‐
manto, epithermal system; the Kwanika property (Ser engeti 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 coppergold NI 43‐ 101 compliant resource. The Surge tenures are
located between the Kemess North project being deve loped by Centerra Gold’s subsidiary Aurico
Metals and Centerra Gold’s operation Mt Milligan mine.
