Tuesday, April 18, 2023 : Coquitlam, BC; Surge Battery Metals Inc. (the “ Company” or “ Surge”)

About Surge Battery Metals Inc. surgebatterymetals.com

The Company is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company active in the exploration for lithium

in Nevada whose primary listing is on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company maintains a focus on

exploration for high value battery metals required for the electric vehicle (EV) market.

Nevada Lithium Projects

The Company owns a 100% interest, without any royalties, in the Nevada North Lithium

Project, consisting of 243 mineral claims, located in the Granite Range southeast of Jackpot, about

73 km north -northeast of Wells, Elko County, Nevada. The first round of drilling, completed in

December 2022, identified a strongly mineralized zone of lithium beari ng clays occupying a strike

length of almost 1,620 meters from drillhole NN2205 in the north to drill hole NN2208 in the south.

Widths of the mineralized horizons are not well determined since the holes are mostly on a north -

south alignment, however, widths are at least 400 metres, supported by highly anomalous soil values

indicating potential for the clay horizons to be much greater. The potential for a significant lithium

deposit can be illustrated by the results of drillhole NN2207 which intersected the thickest intervals

of lithium-rich claystone encountered to date; a total of 120.4 metres (395 feet) averaging 3,943 ppm

lithium in four zones. Additionally, drillhole NN2208 had the strongest downhole individual sample

of 5,950 ppm lithium between 45 and 50 feet (13.72 and 15.24 metres). The average lithium

content within all near surface clay zones intersected in 2022 drilling, applying a 1000 ppm

cut-off, was 3254 ppm.
