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.
