[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia, Feb. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surge Copper Corp. (TSXV: SURG) (OTCQB: SRGXF) (Frankfurt: G6D2) (“Surge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce exploration results from 2023 surface work on the Berg Property in west-central British Columbia. Highlights 3149 soil samples and 87 rock chip and grab samples were collected and analysed as part of the 2023 Berg exploration program Two priority exploration targets with porphyry copper potential are highlighted A large exploration target immediately adjacent to the Berg deposit has been identified and termed the SW Berg Target. This target contains a similar geophysical and geologic expression as the Berg deposit, contains leached and iron oxide stained surface exposures, and is partially outlined by a 600 metre by 300 metre copper in soil anomaly. Given its location and large geophysical and geochemical expression the SW Berg Target has become the highest priority new exploration target on the Berg Property The NE Sibola Target has been expanded and contains a copper in soil anomaly 1200 by 800 metres within a flat till-covered valley, and the anomaly remains open to the north. This target is a strong candidate for ground geophysics and if warranted drill testing Leif Nilsson, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “In parallel with the 2023 deep drilling campaign at the Berg deposit, Surge’s field team conducted regional reconnaissance surface exploration across the northern portion of the Berg-Huckleberry-Ootsa district on our 100% owned Berg Property. This work represents a systematic follow-up on the significant district-wide regional program conducted in 2022 (see April 19, 2023 press release), which itself built upon the 2021 deep-penetrating ZTEM geophysical survey across the district (see April 12, 2022 press release). These programs have delivered multiple new early-stage discoveries and built out an impressive exploration pipeline within this large, critical minerals district. We are particularly excited about the new SW Berg Target. Given its proximity to the Berg deposit, it is straightforward to see how any future exploration success at this target could quickly have a positive impact on the Berg Project.” During 2023 Surge Copper collected 3149 soil samples, 87 rock samples, and drilled 3 core holes into the Berg deposit for 2077 metres of ...
