Surge Battery Metals Announces Application

to List on NASDAQ Capital Markets

West Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2026) - Surge Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV:

NILI) (OTCQX: NILIF) (FSE: DJ5) (the "

Company

" or "

Surge

") is pleased to announce that it has

submitted an initial application to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq").

The proposed Nasdaq listing is intended to support Surge's longer-term capital markets strategy by

increasing its visibility with U.S. institutional and retail investors, broadening its potential shareholder

base, and enhancing trading liquidity over time. The Company believes that a U.S. exchange listing, if

completed, would complement its existing listing on the TSX Venture Exchange and position Surge to

access deeper and more diversified capital markets as it continues to advance its development

objectives.

"This application reflects an important step in positioning Surge for a potential transition to a more senior

U.S. exchange," said Graham Harris, Chairman of Surge. "With approximately C$30 million in treasury,

a fully funded pre-feasibility study, and a high-quality lithium asset, we believe the Company is well

positioned to continue executing its strategy and, broaden its capital markets profile."

As part of this strategy and in anticipation of a potential U.S. exchange listing, Surge has filed a notice of

intention to be qualified to file a short-form prospectus under National Instrument 44-101 - Short Form

Prospectus Distributions ("NI 44-101"). If eligible, the Company expects to consider relying on the Multi-

Jurisdictional Disclosure System ("MJDS") as a pathway to satisfy applicable U.S. registration

requirements. MJDS is an established cross-border disclosure framework that allows eligible Canadian

issuers to access the U.S. public markets by using disclosure documents prepared largely in

accordance with Canadian securities law requirements, including a short-form prospectus and related

disclosure, with a U.S. registration statement generally incorporating or otherwise relying on the issuer's

Canadian disclosure record and/or Canadian prospectus disclosure. Any potential reliance on MJDS

would remain subject to the Company meeting MJDS eligibility criteria, the review (if any) and

effectiveness of any U.S. registration statement, and receipt of all necessary Canadian and U.S.

regulatory and exchange approvals.

The proposed listing of the Company's common shares on Nasdaq remains subject to satisfaction of

Nasdaq's initial listing requirements, receipt of all required regulatory approvals, and completion of

customary listing processes. There can be no assurance that the Company's application will be

approved or that a Nasdaq listing will be completed.
