VANCOUVER - Surge Battery Metals Inc. announced that it has engaged environmental consultants, NewFields Companies LLC (NewFields) of Atlanta, Georgia to initiate the permitting process and baseline data collection required in preparation of an Exploration Plan of Operations (EPO) and Reclamation Plan.

The Nevada North Lithium Projects’ (NNLP) boundary encompasses approximately 4,785 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administered land. Surge Battery Metals has been conducting exploration activities within the NNLP area under a Notice of Intent (NOI), allowing the Company to disturb up to 5 acres of land with ongoing reclamation. Exploration results to date are promising, and Surge Battery Metals is planning on expanding their exploration activities within the NNLP claim boundary located in Elko County, Nevada.

Phase 1 includes time sensitive wildlife surveys culminating in a proposal under the Nevada State’s mitigation regulation using the conservation credit system for any required mitigation. Phase 2 includes a seven-step process that follows the BLM’s guidance for permitting Plans of Operations. Initial meetings have been held and work is underway.
