[{"type":"text","content":"Surge Battery Metals Announces Strong Lithium Results From Drill Holes One and Six at the Nevada North Lithium ProjectCOQUITLAM, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2022 / Surge Battery Metals Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Surge\") (TSXV:NILI)(OTC PINK:NILIF)(FRA:DJ5C) is pleased to announce additional assay results from recent drilling at the 100% owned Nevada North Lithium Project in Elko County, Nevada. Assay results confirm layered zones containing significant lithium clay content further confirming the potential for a high tenor lithium clay deposit.The tables below list the significant intercepts in each of two holes where interval averages are calculated using a 1,000-ppm lithium cut off value with no internal dilution. All holes were drilled vertically using reverse circulation percussion drilling methods.Early in the drill program partial results obtained from drill hole NN2201 confirmed the potential for a significant lithium discovery. Complete results for the hole have not been available until now due to staffing problems at the analytical lab. Hole NN2201 was drilled to test an area of strong lithium in soil values.Hole IDFrom ftTo ftFrom MTo MThickness ftthickness MAvg Li ppmNN2201055016.765516.763826NN22019514028.9542.674513.722958NN220116522550.2968.586018.292388Results below are from drill hole NN2206, drilled within an area of strong soil values near outcrops of a welded tuff unit. The welded tuff appears to be the basement rock of the volcano-tectonic basin hosting the lithium rich sediments.Hole IDFrom ftTo ftFrom MTo MThickness ftthickness MAvg Li ppmNN220602006.1206.11590NN2206508515.2425.913510.672479Overall, the intercepts in the four holes near and along the central ridge line (Holes NN2201 and holes NN2203 thru NN2205) represent over 500 meters (1500 feet) of strike length of strong lithium mineralization (see figure below).The position of the mineralized beds suggests the lithium rich claystone layers may be very extensive laterally. The same 3 mineralized horizons are in Holes NN2201, 03, 04, and 05 with NN2205 being located 660 meters to the northwest of \"discovery hole\" NN2201. The same pattern of claystone and blue-grey clay is seen in both drill holes NN2207 and NN2208, which are located 800m and 1,100m to the southwest of drill hole NN2201. Results from these holes are expected shortly.Generally, minera...
