(TSXV: NILI) (OTCQB: NILIF) (FSE: DJ5) (the \"Company\" or \"Surge\") is pleased to announce certified assay results on the Nevada North Lithium Project confirm mineralization extends 1500m to the northwest of 2022 drilling.Samples from drill hole NN2304 (Drill site location P) returned positive results ranging between the 1,000 ppm cutoff to 5,670 ppm Li. This includes the highest grade horizon which has a thickness of 29.8m (97.5ft) with an average grade of 3,841ppm Li. Significantly, NN2304 is a 300m (984 ft) step out to the northwest from previously reported NN2302 and has a composite thickness of intersected clay horizons of 32.9m (107.5ft) for an overall average grade of 3,682 ppm Li. Drill hole NN2303 (drill site location V), a further 1,000m (3,300ft) step-out to the northwest from NN2304, returned positive sample results ranging between the 1000 ppm cutoff to 5,120 ppm Li. The primary clay horizon starts from 78.5m (257.5 ft), is 21.3m (70ft) thick and grades 3,064ppm Li. The composite thickness of clay layers intersected was 22.8m (75 ft), for an overall grade of 2,940 ppm Li. Two samples returned 1,210 ppm Li between 0 and 3.8m (12.5ft) below surface and are interpreted to lie on the edge of an additional shallow zone of near-surface lithium mineralization extending to the north and west. The 2023 transient electromagnetic survey suggests the near-surface claystone thickens to the west, and resistivity decreases, possibly indicating an area of more substantial mineralization (See Figure 2). Hole NN2303 is a 1,500m (4,921 ft) step out to the northwest from hole NN2205, the most northerly hole of the 2022 drilling campaign. Composite lithium values for the mineralized horizons, using a 1,000 ppm cutoff with no internal dilution, are shown in the following table.
