Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / July 8, 2019 – Surge Exploration Inc. (“the Company” or “Surge”)

(TSXV: SUR, OTC: SURJF, FRA: DJ5C) is pleased to an nounce that further to its news release dated

May 6, 2019 and the TSX Venture Exchange’s (“Exchange”) conditional acceptance letter dated June

About the Property

The Omineca Group of 12 claim blocks (see map) lie in the Omineca Mining Division of north‐central

British Columbia, approximately 150 km north of Fort St. James. The claims are not subject to any

royalty terms, back‐in rights, payments or any other agreements and encumbrances.

B.C. Minfile assessment report data indicates that most of the area covered by the Omineca Group

claim blocks were at one time or another covered by staking during surges of exploration in B.C.

dating from the 1940’s to present day. Largely the claims appear to have been minimally explored

with little follow‐up. However, some work was reco rded on several claims with results for stream

sediment sampling showing anomalous to highly anomalous results for gold in a few areas. These

areas were recommended for detailed follow‐up, howe ver due to a previous commodity price

downturn no further work was recorded.

Prominent among early discoveries in the Omineca re gion were the nearby Lustdust/Stardust

property (Sun Metals Corp. TSXV: SUNM) covering a l arge, coherent integrated porphyry‐skarn‐

manto, epithermal system; the Kwanika property (Ser engeti Resources Inc./POSCO Daewoo TSXV:

SIR) a promising advanced stage copper‐gold project ; the Lorraine property (Teck Resources and

Sun Metals) host to a significant coppergold NI 43‐ 101 compliant resource. The Surge tenures are

located between the Kemess North project being deve loped by Centerra Gold’s subsidiary Aurico

Metals and Centerra Gold’s operation Mt Milligan mine.
