[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia, July 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surge Copper Corp. (TSXV: SURG) (OTCQX: SRGXF) (Frankfurt: G6D2) (“Surge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2023 field exploration program which is anticipated to run during the summer months of 2023 and include both diamond drilling at the Berg deposit and surface exploration at multiple target areas throughout the Berg-Ootsa district. Highlights Fully funded exploration program has commenced in the Berg-Ootsa district Diamond drilling expected to begin during the week of July 17 Program expected to consist of approximately 3,500 metres across 6 to 8 holes Drill holes have been designed to target multiple zones within the Berg deposit which have potential for expansions of higher grade material Exploration drill holes have also been designed to meet additional criteria including precious metal sampling, conversion of Inferred resources, and potential use in geotechnical, geochemical, and metallurgical applications Surface exploration activities to focus on soil sampling and detailed mapping of early-stage targets outlined during the 2022 field exploration program Ongoing surface exploration activities have thus far expanded the Sibola East copper-in-soil anomaly to 1,500 metres long by 300 metres wide, and the anomaly shows a compeling correlation to partial induced polarization chargeability coverage Leif Nilsson, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are excited to commence the 2023 field exploration program which will seek to cost-effectively advance the Berg Project, for which we recently announced a substantial resource update and a robust Preliminary Economic Assessment. Drilling at Berg will primarily be focused on expanding certain higher-grade zones within the deposit into volumes which lack adequate drill density. Certain of these holes will meet other objectives such as gathering important information and physical data for use in follow on technical studies to advance the project. We are also excited to continue to advance a number of promising early-stage exploration targets throughout the district, some of which could be ready for initial drill testing later in the year.” Berg Drilling Details Drilling at the Berg deposit is anticipated to commence the week of July 17 and the Company is looking to complete 6 to 8 core...
