Surge Battery Metals Inc. announce that the Company has retained Rangefront Geological to perform detailed soil sampling at Surge's Nevada North Lithium Project. The Company continues to advance the NNLP and in July 2023 announced a strategic acquisition by entering into a mineral property option and joint venture agreement with M3 Metals Corporation (M3M). This agreement included claims to the south and southwest of Surge's existing NNLP deposit which ensured Surge controlled some potential extensions of its existing high tenor lithium clay deposit.

Rangefront collected 598 soil samples in the west/southwest corner of the expanded Surge property boundary which includes some of the property acquired from M3M. The Company considers this area to be highly prospective and will further test for extensions of clay beds that were assayed for high levels of lithium in the 2022 and 2023 drilling programs. Rangefront's Elko Nevada-based operations have worked closely with Surge in the past and have both the local and in-depth knowledge and expertise to complete this project. Surge is also pleased to announce that Dan Chafetz has joined the company as Project Geologist.

Dan comes to after several years with Ioneer, Ltd, working on their Rhyolite Ridge Project. Dan has a Batchelor of Science from the Colorado School of Mining and is currently defending his thesis at the University of Nevada in the Masters of Science Program with a major in Geochemistry and Geology. Working closely with and under the guidance of Senior Geologist, Alan Morris, Dan will initially start with the Company's geologic mapping program that will continue to advance understanding of the Nevada North Lithium Project deposit.

That work is critical as the Company works towards defining the boundaries of the NNLP deposit, supporting the conceptual mining engineering and any future resource statements as advance the development of this important, shallow and high grade lithium deposit.
