Lithium X2 Mining Debuts on the TSXV, Rebranding Its Nevada North Lithium Story

The Nevada North developer began trading as LIXX on November 9, five weeks after a pre-feasibility study outlined a 42-year lithium carbonate operation in Elko County.

Lithium X2 Mining Debuts on the TSXV, Rebranding Its Nevada North Lithium Story

New name, same very large clay deposit.

Lithium X2 Mining Inc. (TSXV: LIXX; OTCQX: LIXMF; FSE: DJ5C), the company until last week known as Surge Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: NILI; OTCQX: NILIF), opened trading under its new name and symbols on November 9. The rebrand comes as the company tries to persuade the market that its Nevada North Lithium Project belongs in the conversation about America's next domestic lithium supply.

The mechanics are simple. The TSX Venture Exchange approved the change after the board signed off on October 20, the TSXV symbol moved from NILI to LIXX and the OTCQX symbol from NILIF to LIXMF, and the shares carry a new CUSIP, 53681Q107. There is no share consolidation, shareholders do not need to do anything, and Odyssey Trust Company remains transfer agent. The company says the new name reflects its focus on advancing Nevada North toward development, and President and CEO Greg Reimer called it "an important milestone in the Company's evolution." He said the identity "better reflects the scale and potential of our lithium asset."

Scale is the operative word. Nevada North sits southeast of Jackpot, about 74 kilometres north-northeast of Wells in Elko County, Nevada, and is held through Nevada North Lithium LLC, which is 67.5% owned by Lithium X2 and 32.5% by gold miner Evolution Mining Limited. Four rounds of drilling have outlined a lithium-bearing clay zone more than 4,700 metres long and over 2,000 metres wide. The pit-constrained Measured and Indicated resource, filed June 30, 2026, stands at 657.5 million tonnes grading 3,007 ppm lithium for an estimated 10.5 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent at a 1,250 ppm cut-off.

The October 2 pre-feasibility study put numbers on that size. At US$24,000 per tonne lithium carbonate, it outlined an after-tax NPV (8%) of US$9.81 billion and an after-tax IRR of 23.6%, with a 4.2-year payback, on Proven and Probable reserves of 218.3 million tonnes at 3,928 ppm lithium containing 4.56 million tonnes LCE and no Inferred material in the mine plan. Phase 1 would produce about 55,900 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate for US$2.77 billion in initial capital, a US$2.35 billion Phase 2 would lift life-of-mine output to an average of about 92,250 tonnes per year, and the 42-year open pit carries an average cash cost of US$4,719 per tonne. Recovery is pegged at 84.9%, and test work produced 99.95% lithium carbonate. The company is targeting FEL 3 engineering from the fourth quarter of 2026 and first production in the second half of 2031. The Northern Miner summed up the study as one that "has lifted forecast returns and reduced expenses."

The market gave the new ticker a warm welcome. On its first day as LIXX, the stock closed at C$0.55, up C$0.035 or 6.8% from the previous close of C$0.515, after trading between C$0.485 and C$0.56. About 482,000 shares changed hands on the TSXV, roughly C$265,000 worth at the closing price.

For investors, the caveats are worth keeping in view. A pre-feasibility study carries AACE Class 4 accuracy of plus or minus 25%, Phase 2 costs are less defined than Phase 1, and the economics depend on a US$24,000 lithium carbonate price. Initial capital of US$2.77 billion is a heavy lift for a junior, even with a major gold miner as a partner. The study flags that raw water demand could exceed its design basis, Phase 2 water is not yet secured, a new grid interconnection is needed, and the 2031 start assumes an expedited investment decision and federal Record of Decision. A new ticker changes none of that.

The PFS technical content was approved for the company by Alan J. Morris, MSc, CPG, Geological Advisor to the company, who is not independent. The study's qualified persons include Kevin Martina, P.Eng., of Fluor, John Marek, P.E., of IMC, and Nathan Forsythe, C.P.G., of RESPEC.
