Surge Copper Announces 2021 Exploration Plans - Seite 2

Program Details

Scheduling and preparations are currently underway to conduct the ZTEM survey in the early part of the summer. The ZTEM system, which is a proprietary technology of Geotech Ltd., can achieve superior imaging capabilities at greater depths due to the use of passive ambient electomagnetic fields generated in the earth's atmosphere by global thunderstorm activity. Further information about the technology can be found by clicking HERE.

Two drill rigs will be mobilized to the Ootsa site in early June and will be focused on completing the Seel drilling over a two-month period. Simultaneously, early access improvement work will commence in partnership with a local forestry company to re-establish access to the Berg deposit to facilitate late summer exploration activities in the area. During mid to late summer, one or two drill rigs will be mobilized to the Berg area to complete the definition drilling campaign. Throughout the summer, field crews will be actively mapping and prospecting high priority areas through both the Ootsa and Berg properties.

At the conclusion of the summer drill program, the Company anticipates that the drill hole database at West Seel will be sufficiently advanced to complete a resource update later in the year. Combined with the systematic regional exploration activity taking place during the summer program, Surge expects to have significantly advanced the mineral resources and understanding of the regional potential on this large land package.
