Reduction of Number of Stock Options Announced December 12, 2023

On December 12, 2023, the Company announced that it had granted a total of 2,100,000 incentive stock options (the "December Options"), under its equity incentive plan (the "Plan"), exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.52 per share. The December Options were granted to certain directors, officers and consultants (collectively, the "Optionholders").

Subsequent to December 12, 2023, the Company became aware that the grant of the December Options exceeded the number of incentive stock options available under the Plan by a total of 1,196,317 options.

As a result, the Company has agreed with the Optionholders, effective December 13, 2023, to reduce the number of the December Options for each Optionholder by fifty-seven (57%). This leaves 903,000 of the December Options (the "Remaining Options") available for grant in place of the originally announced 2,100,000 December Options.

The Remaining Options have a term expiring five years from the original date of grant, December 12, 2023, and have an exercise price of $0.52 per share, both as originally contemplated.

About Surge Battery Metals Inc.

The Company is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company active in the exploration for lithium in Nevada whose primary listing is on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada and the OTCQX Market in the US. The Company's maintains a focus on exploration for high value battery metals required for the electric vehicle (EV) market.

About the Nevada North Lithium Project

The Company owns the Nevada North Lithium Project located in the Granite Range southeast of Jackpot, Nevada about 73 km north-northeast of Wells, Elko County, Nevada. The first round of drilling, completed in October 2022, identified a strongly mineralized zone of lithium bearing clays occupying a strike length of almost 1,620 meters. Widths of the mineralized horizons are at least 400 meters, supported by highly anomalous soil values indicating potential for the clay horizons to be much greater in extent. The potential for a significant lithium deposit can be illustrated by the average lithium content within all near surface clay zones intersected in 2022 drilling, applying a 1000 ppm cut-off, was 3254 ppm.

Initial assay results from the first hole of the 2023 season (NN2301) had a high of 8070 ppm lithium with an average of 4,067 ppm lithium at a 1,000-ppm cut-off (See news release September 12, 2023). The 2023 drill program expanded the known lithium-rich clay from the current 1,620 meters strike length to more than 3,500 meters and the known width of the mineralization to 950 meters from the previously drill-indicated 400 meters. The 2023 drill program is now completed with all assays received. We will use the winter season to produce a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, complete additional metallurgical studies, and prepare for additional exploration of the property in the spring.
