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.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
