11.3% of the Company's outstanding shares on a diluted basis

and

5.7% on an undiluted basis

, positioning them as a significant shareholder. The Company values this

investment as a strong vote of confidence in its projects and future growth strategy.

Graham Harris, Chairman, comments "We are very pleased to welcome the continued investment from

The Quaternary Group, long-standing supporters of Surge Battery Metals. Their ongoing confidence

underscores the strength of our strategy, and we look forward to building on this relationship as we

advance the Nevada North Lithium Project."

Ross Jennings of The Quaternary Group Limited comments "We are pleased to become a long-term

strategic investor in the Company.

With the highest-grade lithium clay deposit resource in America,

located in mining friendly Nevada and recent alignment agreements with its key partners, Surge Battery

Metals is now ideally positioned to prosper in the coming years.

The US government, and the stock

market, will come to realize the critical role lithium must play in the transformation of our increasingly

energy intensive AI-economy and how Surge Battery Metals is central to that realization given its best-in-

class resource."

About Surge Battery Metals Inc.

Surge Battery Metals, a Canadian-based mineral exploration company, is at the forefront of securing the

supply of domestic lithium through its active engagement in the Nevada North Lithium Project. The

project focuses on exploring clean, high-grade lithium energy metals in Nevada, USA, a crucial

element

for powering electric vehicles. With a primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada and the

OTCQX Market in the US, Surge Battery Metals Inc. is strategically positioned as a key player in

advancing lithium exploration.

About the Nevada North Lithium Project

The Company owns the Nevada North Lithium Project located in the Granite Range southeast of

Jackpot, Nevada about 73 km north-northeast of Wells, Elko County, Nevada. The first three rounds of

drilling, completed in 2022, 2023, and 2024, identified a strongly mineralized zone of lithium bearing

clays occupying a strike length of more than 4,300 meters and a known width of greater than 1500

meters. Highly anomalous soil values and geophysical surveys suggest there is potential for the clay

horizons to be much greater in extent, while wide drill spacing allows for significant upside to occur

during infill drilling. The Nevada North Lithium Project has a pit-constrained Inferred Resource containing

an estimated 8.65 Mt of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) grading 2,955 ppm Li at a 1,250 ppm

cutoff. The recently completed PEA reported an after-tax NPV

8%

US $9.17 Billion and after-tax IRR of

22.8% at $24,000/ t LCE and an OPEX of US $5,243/t LCE.
