Surge Battery Metals Inc. released the assay results from holes NN2207 and NN2208 at the 100% owned Nevada North Lithium Project in Elko County, Nevada. Hole NN2207 intersected the thickest intervals of lithium rich claystone encountered to date, a total of 120.4 meters (395 feet) averaging 3943 ppm lithium in four zones. NN2208 had the strongest individual sample interval (5950 ppm lithium between 45 to 50 feet, 13.72 to 15.24 meters) of the maiden 2022 program.

The intercepts shown in the table below used a 1,000 ppm lithium cut off without internal dilution. Results from the above holes extend the strike length of the mineralization to 1,620 meters from NN2205 to NN2208. 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 company is currently planning for the 2023 field season which will include a detailed drilling program that will commence when ground conditions allow. During the off-season, mineralogical and spectral analysis will be applied to the 2022 drill cuttings along with in-depth reviews of surface and sub-surface geochemistry. Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Data Verification: Drilling utilized a buggy mounted system provided by O'Keefe Drilling Company of Butte, Montana.

Site preparation and water handling was provided by Legarza Exploration of Elko, Nevada. Drill cuttings were collected on 5-foot intervals and bagged at the drill site by O'Keefe staff. Samples were collected from the site by the Surge Project geologist /QP and delivered to the ALS Global sample preparation facility in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Samples were dried, crushed, and pulverized at the Twin falls facility and sent to the North Vancouver ALS laboratories for analysis. Samples were assayed using the ALS ICP-41 methodusing an aqua regia leach followed by ICP optical emission spectrography. The detection levels of lithium by this method are 10 - 10,000 ppm.

Quality control standards (MEG-Li.10.11) inserted into the sample submittal returned values well within expected range (750 ppm Li) using this method. Results for internal standards and duplicates provided by ALS were well within accepted values.
