Production
West Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 25, 2025) - Surge Battery Metals Inc.
(TSXV: NILI) (OTCQX: NILIF) (FSE: DJ5C) ("Surge" or the "Company") provides commentary on the
executive order issued by President Donald Trump on March 20, 2025, titled
"Immediate Measures to
Increase America's Mineral Production."
In the executive order, the President highlighted the past prominence of the U.S. mining industry and the
importance of securing a stable and predictable supply of critical minerals, including lithium, which are
essential for defense, technology, and the burgeoning electric vehicle industry. It also directed Federal
agencies to expedite approvals for domestic mineral production projects.
The executive order was published on the public registry, and the full text can be found at the following

Greg Reimer, President and CEO of Surge Battery Metals, commented:
"The Nevada North
Lithium Project is poised to play a significant role in securing America's supply of critical minerals,
particularly lithium, which is essential for the burgeoning Electric Vehicle and Battery Energy Storage
industry. This executive order underscores the importance of projects like ours in reducing reliance on
foreign sources and bolstering national security. We are committed to advancing our project responsibly
and sustainably, contributing to the local economy and supporting the nation's clean energy goals."
Surge Battery Metals is committed to advancing the Nevada North Lithium Project in alignment with the
"Unleashing American Energy" initiative, recognizing that the United States possesses vast mineral
resources critical to creating jobs, fueling prosperity, and reducing reliance on foreign nations. The
project supports the urgent need for a secure, predictable, and affordable supply of lithium-a mineral vital
for transportation, infrastructure, defense capabilities, and the next generation of technology. By
facilitating domestic mineral production to the maximum possible extent, Surge is contributing to
America's mineral independence, enhancing national and economic security, and driving the transition to
a cleaner, more sustainable future.
The development of the Nevada North Lithium Project is expected to deliver significant economic
benefits, generating nearly 2,000 jobs during construction and approximately 350 full-time positions
during operations. Additional opportunities will emerge in local communities through ancillary services
such as transportation, maintenance, and supplies, reversing the erosion of the Nation's mineral
production caused by past overbearing Federal regulation and strengthening the United States' position
as a leader in critical mineral resources.

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.
