Surge Battery Metals Inc. reported that the Company has received positive geochemical results from a 50-site sampling program in the southeastern part of the property. Of the 50 samples, 13 returned lithium values of 500 ppm or greater and five were 1,000 ppm or greater. These samples confirm the presence of the favorable lithium bearing claystone some 1,900 meters southeast of the southernmost drill hole, NN2208.

In the full dataset, 257 sites returned lithium values of 500 ppm or more with 129 sites show 1,000 ppm Li or more. Samples were collected by personal from Rangefront Exploration of Elko, Nevada during claim staking in the area. Samples were stored in locked vehicles until they were delivered to the Rangefront office.

Samples were transported from Elko to the ALS Global laboratory in Reno, Nevada by the Surge project geologist /QP. Samples were dried and sieved to -0.177 mm (-80 mesh) and analyzed using aqua regia digestion followed by optical emission spectrometry (ALS MEICP41) with a detection level of 10 ppm. The maiden drilling program, consisting of eight widely spaced drill holes, has identified strong lithium values (up to 5950 ppm) associated with a series of stacked blue-green clay layers up to 120.4 meter or 395 feet thick.

To date mineralization, as evidenced by drilling, has a strike length of approximately 1,620 meters or 5,315 feet. Width of the mineralization is not as well determined since the holes are mostly on a north-south alignment because of topography and access but is at least 400 meters and soil anomalies indicate it is likely much more. The mineralization appears to be open to further expansion given the dimensions of a widespread lithium soil anomaly shown on the accompanying map.
