Testing Of Large Lithium Anomaly Now Underway

COQUITLAM, BC - Surge Battery Metals Inc. announced that drilling is now underway on the Nevada North Lithium Project. The Company has been approved by the BLM for a 15-hole drill program.

The drill program will test the area of previous sampling where assay results for lithium ranged up to 5,120 ppm or 0.51% Li.  Significant results from sampling this summer included 89 samples outlining a highly anomalous zone containing sample points greater than 1,000 ppm lithium.

Currently, the zone of highly anomalous lithium values extends about 1,700 meters east-west in two bands each about 300 to 400 meters wide.  The anomalous values appear to be in soils developed on airfall or water lain rhyolitic tuff overlain by welded ash flow tuff.

Recent staking by the Company has increased the property to 154 mineral claims that now covers about 794 Ha or 1,926 acres, (7.84 sq km). At the time of the claim staking, an additional 471 soil samples were collected from the new claims and adjacent ground to help direct future exploration.  These samples have been shipped to the lab and results will be made available once received by the Company.

Greg Reimer, President & CEO, said, “Work to date indicates a large area of anomalous to highly anomalous lithium values in surface soils. Our team is encouraged by the large size of the anomalous area as well as the tenor of the lithium values found to date. The Company has been approved by the BLM for a 15-hole drill program.  We hope to announce details on this in the very near future.  As previously reported our plan is to continue work at this new discovery throughout the fall months and we are well financed to do so.”
