About Surge Battery Metals Inc.

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

Nevada and for nickel in British Columbia . Our primary listing is on the TSX Venture Exchange. The

Company's maintains a focus on exploration for high value battery metals required for the electric vehicle

(EV) market.

About the Nevada North Lithium Project

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 October 2022,

identified a strongly mineralized zone of lithium-bearing clays occupying a strike length of almost 1,620

meters from drillhole NN2205 in the north to drill hole NN2208 in the south. The full thickness of the

mineralized horizons are not well determined since the holes were mostly sited along strike on a north-

south alignment. However, the apparent thickness is at least 400 metres, supported by highly anomalous

soil values indicating potential for the clay horizons to be much thicker. The potential for a significant

lithium deposit are 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 at between 45 and 50 feet (13.72 and 15.24 metres) depth. The average lithium

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

3254 ppm. (Press release March 29,2023)
