[{"type":"text","content":"Grid Battery Metals Completes Phase 1 of its Exploration Plan at the Texas Springs Nevada Lithium Project COQUITLAM, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 20, 2023 / Grid Battery Metals Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Grid Battery\") (TSXV:CELL)(OTCQB:EVKRF)(FRA:NMK2) announces that it has completed the first phase of its summer / fall exploration program at its Texas Springs Property near Elko Nevada.At the Texas Springs Lithium Project, the Company contracted the services of Rangefront Geological (\"Rangefront\")to perform both a detailed soil sampling on a 50 m X 100 m spacing and to oversee a CSAMT geophysical survey to obtain information about subsurface resistivity and geology. Together these geological techniques should help predict geological structure and possible locations for lithium accumulation. This is part of a methodical and systematic approach to high quality mineral exploration for this highly sought after metal in Nevada and will assist the Company in determining next steps for the overall exploration plan, including but not limited to a subsequent drilling program.Soil Samples Taken (Texas Spring Lithium Project) Of note, the Texas Springs Lithium Property adjoins the southern border of the Nevada North Lithium Project - owned by Surge Battery Metals Inc. (\"Surge\") (TSXV:NILI), (OTCQB:NILIF). Surge's first round of drilling identified strongly mineralized lithium bearing clays. The average lithium content within all near surface clay zones intersected in the 2022 drilling program, applying a 1000 ppm cut-off, was 3254 ppm. On September 12, 2023, Surge announced some exciting results of its most recent drilling program at this property, and recorded its highest grades to date, with up to 8070 ppm Lithium on the Northern Nevada Lithium project. Tim Fernback, Grid President & CEO comments \"Now that the soil sampling and CSAMT geophysical survey programs are complete at Texas Springs, we will move our exploration crews to Monitor Valley Nevada to begin a similar program on our Volt Canyon property. Once we receive the results from the assay lab and geophysics contractor, we will gather as a group to interpret the geological data and plan our next steps at Texas Springs.\"About Rangefront GeologicalElko Nevada-based Rangefront Geological has combined in-depth expertise with cutting-edge technology to provide mining consul...
