(TSXV: SURG) (OTCQX: SRGXF) (Frankfurt: G6D2) (“Surge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce complete assay results for 17 holes from the Company’s 100% owned Ootsa Property in British Columbia. Included are results from 2 holes testing exploration targets and 15 holes from the Seel Breccia East zone where the Company is expanding high-grade copper-silver breccia style mineralization and has identified a large and open zone of zinc-lead-silver-gold breccia style mineralization. Highlights Large intervals of zinc-silver-gold-lead breccia mineralization have been encountered in multiple holes from the Seel Breccia East zone, highlighted by holes: S22-319 which intersected 138 metres grading 0.94% zinc and 8.1 g/t silver including 36 metres grading 1.49% zinc, 14 g/t silver, 0.14 g/t gold, and 0.11% copper S22-326 which intersected 48 metres grading 0.74% zinc, 0.57% lead, 0.26 g/t gold, and 18.4 g/t silver S22-327 which intersected 90 metres grading 0.68% zinc, 0.16 g/t gold and 3.8 g/t silver S22-335 which intersected 104 metres grading 0.73% zinc, 0.17 g/t gold, and 8.7 g/t silver including 50 metres grading 1% zinc, 0.26 g/t gold, and 8.4 g/t silver This new zinc-lead-silver-gold breccia discovery has been traced for over 300 metres along strike and is over 200 metres thick, and remains open to the west-southwest Significant gold and silver values are seen throughout the new zone with gold grades increasing at depth in certain areas High-grade copper-rich breccia was intersected in hole S22-321 which returned 14 metres grading 0.97% copper, 26.3 g/t silver, and 0.15 g/t gold Results for 10 drill holes from the second phase of the 2022 regional exploration program on the Berg Property are pending Leif Nilsson, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “This batch of results represents a significant and thematically consistent set of results from our 2022 exploration program, the first phase of which was focused on the Ootsa property as we awaited our Berg permit renewal which was awarded in August. The area which is now being referred to as Seel Breccia East was included in our 2022 resource estimate, but had limited drilling so was seen as an area with good expansion potential. This discovery of a zinc-rich breccia zone with strong precious metal co...
