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 the electric vehicles of tomorrow. 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, contributing significantly to the sustainable future of the electric

vehicle industry. At Surge Battery Metals, we are not just exploring minerals; we are pioneering the path

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 on the Project, 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 2,951 ppm Li at a

1,250 ppm cutoff.
