[{"type":"text","content":"Surge Battery Metals Increases Nevada North Project Claim Area to Cover Large Lithium AnomalyCOQUITLAM, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 14, 2022 / Surge Battery Metals Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Surge\") (TSXV:NILI)(OTC PINK:NILIF)(FRA:DJ5C) is pleased to report the Nevada North Lithium Project has increased in size by 59 mining claims.This new area (493 hectares, 1218 acres) was acquired to cover the projection of highly anomalous lithium values previously announced and brings the entire property position to 154 mineral claims that now covers about 794 Ha (1,926 acres, 7.84 sq km).At the time of the claim staking, an additional 471 soil samples were collected from the new claims and adjacent ground to help direct future exploration. These samples have been shipped to the lab and results will be made available once received by the Company, likely in the next several weeks. This sampling program will expand the area of previous sampling where assay results for lithium ranged from 29.1 ppm to 5,120 ppm (0.51%). Significant results included 89 samples outlining a highly anomalous zone containing sample points greater than 1,000 ppm lithium. Currently, the zone of highly anomalous lithium values extends about 1,700 meters east-west in two bands each about 300 to 400 meters wide. The anomalous values appear to be in soils developed on airfall or water lain rhyolitic tuff overlain by welded ash flow tuff. Depending on results, Surge may expand both the claims and soil coverage based on positive results.Mr. Greg Reimer, Company President & CEO states: \"Work to date indicates a large area of anomalous to highly anomalous lithium values in surface soils. Our team is encouraged by the large size of the anomalous area as well as the tenor of the lithium values found to date. The Company has been approved by the BLM for a 15-hole drill program and we are now in the progress of building roads and preparing drill pads for an aggressive drilling campaign. We hope to announce details on this in the very near future. As previously reported our plan is to continue work at this new discovery throughout the fall months and we are well financed to do so.\"Samples were collected from the nominal \"B\" horizon with standard sampling methods, and both bagged and stored in the crew camp until they were transported to Elko for storage in the locked Rang...
