Nevada Jackpot: Surge Battery Metals Extends Lithium Strike Length by 1.3KM with New Drilling Data

Surge Battery Metals Inc. Expands Lithium Resource with Promising Drilling Results in Nevada

Editorial Team (ET)May 12, 2025

Surge Battery Metals (TSXV: NILI, OTC: NILIF), a leading mineral exploration company, has unveiled promising results from its 2024 drilling program at the Nevada North Lithium Project (NNLP). The latest assays reveal substantial high-grade lithium clay deposits, extending the strike length by 1.3 kilometers and presenting significant implications for the future of lithium mining and the electric vehicle (EV) industry.

Surge Battery Metals, headquartered in West Vancouver, BC, has been at the forefront of lithium exploration, particularly through its Nevada North Lithium Project. With a strategic focus on securing domestic lithium supply, the company has steadily advanced its drilling and exploration efforts to contribute to the sustainable future of the EV industry.

The 2024 Drilling Program

The 2024 drilling program aimed to explore the southern extensions of the known lithium resource area. The drilling operations, carried out on private surface land holdings, were designed to test the upper package of clay units and assess their potential to expand the current resource estimates.

Highlighted Drilling Results The latest drilling results have yielded impressive findings:

NNL-021: Drilled to 85 meters, intersecting 50 meters of mineralized clay at an average grade of 3,813 ppm Li, including a high-grade interval of 45.7 meters at 4,051 ppm Li.
NNL-022: Drilled to 122 meters, intersecting 91 meters of mineralized clay at a grade of 3,800 ppm Li, with a high-grade interval of 82.3 meters at 4,038 ppm Li.
NNL-023: Drilled to 152 meters, intersecting 15.2 meters of mineralized clay at an average grade of 1,982 ppm Li.
NNL-024: Drilled to 122 meters, intersecting 81 meters of mineralized clay at an average grade of 3,236 ppm Li, including a high-grade interval of 51.8 meters at 4,020 ppm Li.

Impact on Lithium Resource Estimates

These results have significant implications for the overall resource estimates. The lithium mineralization now extends over a north-south strike length of 4.3 kilometers, a 43% increase over the previous inferred resource area. This expansion indicates a substantial increase in the inferred resource of 4.67 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent grading 2,839 ppm lithium.

Geological Insights

The drilling results have confirmed the presence of high-grade lithium-bearing clay mineralization consistent with previous drilling phases in 2022 and 2023. These findings validate the geological models and suggest continuity of mineralization across a broader area than previously understood.

Future Exploration Plans

Looking ahead, Surge Battery Metals plans to continue its exploration efforts to further delineate the lithium resource. Upcoming drilling will focus on testing deeper clay units and exploring additional step-out locations to the south and east of the current drilling sites.

Market Implications

The expansion of the lithium resource at NNLP has the potential to significantly impact the lithium market. As demand for lithium continues to rise, particularly for use in EV batteries, the discovery of high-grade lithium deposits positions Surge Battery Metals Inc. as a key player in the industry, potentially influencing market dynamics and pricing.

CEO’s Statement

Greg Reimer, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Surge Battery Metals Inc., expressed his satisfaction with the latest drilling results. "We are very pleased with today's results, which confirmed that thick, high-grade, and near-surface lithium mineralization continues to the south of our resource area. These findings bode well for an updated resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) due later this year. We extend our gratitude to the private landowners who allowed us surface access to complete this drilling."

The drilling program utilized advanced reverse circulation (RC) drilling techniques, ensuring accurate and efficient sampling. The sample custody and handling process was meticulously managed, with Surge geologists preparing and transporting samples to ALS Global for analysis, maintaining high standards of quality control.

Analysis of Assay Results

The assay results have been meticulously analyzed, revealing high-grade lithium mineralization across multiple drill holes. The consistency of these findings with previous drilling phases underscores the robustness of the lithium resource at NNLP.

The drilling process faced several challenges, including difficult drilling conditions and sample recovery issues. However, the team implemented effective solutions, such as optimizing drilling techniques and ensuring thorough quality control measures, to overcome these obstacles.

Conclusion

The latest drilling results from Surge Battery Metals Nevada North Lithium Project represent a significant milestone in the company's exploration efforts. The discovery of extensive high-grade lithium mineralization not only enhances the resource estimates but also reinforces the project's potential to play a crucial role in the lithium supply chain for the EV industry.
