Surge Battery Metals Contracts Geophysical Surveys at the Nevada North Lithium Project

WEST VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 23, 2023 / Surge Battery Metals Inc. (the "Company" or "Surge") (TSXV:NILI)(OTC PINK:NILIF)(FRA:DJ5C) is pleased to announce signing a contract with BGC Engineering of Calgary, Alberta, to further delineate the potential resource at the Nevada North Lithium Project (NNLP). BGC Engineering (BGC) is an international consulting firm that provides professional services in applied earth sciences.

Surge Battery Metals has been conducting exploration activities at the NNLP with promising results. The Company is moving to further delineate the lithium clays using geophysics to better understand the resource. BGC has been retained to perform the following scope of work this week:

• Towed Transient Electromagnetic (tTEM) survey. tTEM is a mobile ground-based transient system used for rapidly mapping subsurface electrical conductivities over large areas. BGC, on behalf of Surge, will use this method in road accessible areas of the NNLP to collect as much as 40 line-kms of data.
• Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) surveys. ERT is a geoelectric technique which can be used to profile subsurface resistivity. This will allow Surge to target, with upcoming drilling, the thickness of the primary lithium-enriched clay, and the additional deeper clay-altered tuff layers identified in the 2022 drilling campaign.

With this data, Surge will refine and expand the potential mineralization footprint for targeting the upcoming drill program core holes.

Mr. Greg Reimer, Chief Executive Officer, and Director commented "Spring has arrived in northern Nevada and our team is excited to start the exploration season following our lithium discovery. This week's geophysical surveying campaign will provide indications of both the lateral and vertical dimensions of the lithium-bearing clay horizons identified from our previous surface sampling and 2022 drill campaign. Our team will use this data to target locations for the 2023 campaigns in order to advance to a maiden resource, which we anticipate reporting on later this year. I am personally thrilled with the speed and efficiency at which we have advanced this discovery, and I look forward to reporting our ongoing results."
