[{"type":"text","content":"Surge Intercepts 80.7M @4,009 PPM Li in most South Easterly Hole to Date: New Record-High Grade sample of 8,190 PPM LiWest Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2024) - Surge Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: NILI) (OTCQX: NILIF) (FSE: DJ5) (the \"Company\" or \"Surge\") is pleased to announce the second half of certified assays results from its 2024 drilling program for the remaining four holes located on land in which the company has mineral interests at its Nevada North Lithium Project (NNLP).HighlightsNNL-028: 80.7m @ 4,009 PPM Li Inc. 71.6m @ 5,023 PPM LiNNL-027: 4.6m @ 2,322 PPM Li 2024 RC Drilling intersected high-grade lithium mineralization up to 8,190 ppm at the NNLP and has extended drill-indicated mineralization 1,300 meters to the south from existing holes (see news release dated July 23, 2024). Lithium mineralization is shown to be deeper, thicker, and higher-grade to the south, where highly favorable clays are found 235 feet (71.6 m) below surface. These results also provide important insights into the geometry of the deposit, as faults are likely controlling the deposit boundary on the west, as suggested by holes 25 and 26. Drilling operations proceeded smoothly and with minimal interruptions. Logging by Surge geologists has been reconciled with assay data, validating the occurrence of Li-bearing clay mineralization consistent with holes drilled in 2022 and 2023. These final four holes, all drilled as major step-outs, were designed to test for distal mineralization, water exploration, and geomorphology of the basin. Mr. Greg Reimer, Chief Executive Officer, and Director commented, \"We are pleased with today's results which confirmed that thick, high-grade lithium mineralization continues to the south of our resource area. We will use this data to refine our exploration efforts moving forward, as the deposit remains open to the south and east, and to inform infill drilling for our Exploration Plan of Operations for 2025. The 2024 drilling results will be incorporated into an updated and expanded resource estimate, which will be released mid to late September.\" Assay results for the final four holes are summarized below:NNL-028NNL-028 was drilled to 550 feet (167.6 meters) and intersected 265 feet (80.7 meters) of mineralized clay at an average grade of 4009 ppm Li.
