[{"type":"text","content":"Surge Battery Metals Awaits Drilling Results Targeting Significant Lithium Discovery in Northern NevadaCOQUITLAM, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2022 / Surge Battery Metals Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Surge\") (TSXV:NILI)(OTC PINK:NILIF)(FRA:DJ5C) reports that all eight recently completed drill holes on the 100% owned Nevada North Lithium Project (NNLP), Elko County, Nevadaare currently being prepped for analysis.Complete results for hole number one are still awaited despite being on a \"rush\" work order request for the past week. This sample lot having been dried, crushed, sieved, and split is now ready for assay. Unfortunately, the lab reports that even with a \"Rush\" the assay sheets might not be completed for a further two to there weeks due to unprecedented labour shortages and the unforeseen volume of samples being delivered for assay at this time of year. The same situation is being reported across most, if not all labs, in the US and Canada.Six \"rush\" assays, representative and randomly selected samples of silty clay, taken from varying depths in drill hole NN22-01, ranging from a low of 1,790 parts per million to a high of 4,500 ppm lithium (average 3,093 ppm lithium) have previously been announced as follows:Lithium sample results vertical drill hole NN22-01, total depth of 82.3 metres (270 feet):3,170 ppm from three m to 4.6 m (10 ft to 15 ft); tan clay with fine tuff sand.4,500 ppm from 9.1 m to 10.7 m (30 ft to 35 ft); blue-green silty clay.1,790 ppm from 16.8 m to 18.3 m (55 ft to 60 ft); blue-green silty clay.1,990 ppm from 59.5 m to 61 m (195 ft to 200 ft); dark blue-grey silty clay.2,980 ppm from 61 m to 62.5 m (200 ft to 205 ft); dark blue-grey silty clay.4,130 ppm from 62.5 m to 64 m (205 ft to 210 ft); dark blue-grey silty clay.Initial results from drill hole NN22-01 confirm that significant surface lithium soil values of up to 5,120 ppm lithium also continue to a depth of over 64 m (210 ft). Drilling in all holes encountered similar silty clay units ranging in drilled depths of up to 91.5 m (300 ft) in most holes and up to a depth of 160 m (525 ft) in drill hole NN22-07.
