(Surge press release January 1, 2023)\n \n \n \n \n The new program will test an expanded footprint to\ngreater depth. Results of the geophysics program (Surge announcement\nMay 23, 2023) indicated greater thicknesses of the target sedimentary\nunit to depths of 300 meters.  The strike length will also be\nextended to 3000m (9,850 ft) from 1,620m (5,320 ft). The apparent\nwidth will also be extended to 920m (3,020 ft), from the previous\nextent of 350 m (1,150 ft). On site, Surge geologists will be using a\nhand-held LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) device to\ndetermine semi-quantitative values for lithium directly from the\ncores.\n \n \n \n \n Greg Reimer, President, and CEO commented “The Surge\nteam is very keen to follow up on the exciting results of our previous\ndrilling campaign to further expand and define the mineralization in\nreadiness to announce a resource\n \n \n in the fourth\nquarter. Incorporating the initial results of our geophysics program,\nwe are encouraged at the prospect of further defining and extending\nthe footprint, depth and thickness of the lithium-clay mineralization.\nWith in excess of $9.5 Million in the treasury, we are well funded to\ncomplete our exploration and development p...
