Mineral Mountain properties in northcentral British Columbia.”

Surges’ recently announced staking program acquired an area of 213 sq. km within the regionally

important geological and structural trend in Britis h Columbia’s Golden Triangle Region near Trapper

Lake, B.C. A large portion of the new property claim area is adjacent to the Thorn Project with the balance

THN19‐150, which was drilled to 829.06 metres depth at the Oban diatreme breccia pipe within the Camp

Creek copper corridor. Structural mapping and soil‐rock geochemistry at the Chivas zone and relogging

of select core from the Glenfiddich zone were also conducted. The objective of the program was to test for

porphyry mineralization at depth at the Oban zone a nd to refine the two porphyry targets, Chivas and

In Brixton’s news release dated July 15, 2019 ( Brixton News Release ), they reported results from drill

hole THN19‐150, which was drilled to 829.06 metres depth at the Oban diatreme breccia pipe within the

Camp Creek copper corridor. Brixton reported a dri ll hole intercept of 1.97 grams per tonne gold

equivalent across 554.70 meters including 135.96M of 1.35 g/t Au, 0.31 Cu, 133.62 g/t Ag or 5.00 g/t Aueq

including 6M of 3.56% Cu, 3.37 g/t Au, 257.77 g/t Ag. Structural mapping and soil‐rock geochemistry at

the Chivas zone and relogging of select core from the Glenfiddich zone were also conducted as part of the

overall exploration program at the Thorn Project.

Mineral Mountain Property

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Omineca Gro up of 12 claim blocks which are located 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, ba ck‐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 recorded 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, however due to a previous commodity price downturn no further work was recorded.

Prominent among early discoveries in the Omineca region were the nearby Lustdust/Stardust property

(Sun Metals Corp . TSXV: SUNM) covering a large, coherent integrated porphyry‐skarn‐manto, epithermal

system; the Kwanika property ( Serengeti 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 developed by Centerra Gold ’s subsidiary Aurico Metals and Centerra Gold ’s

operation Mt Milligan mine.
