Surge Battery Metals Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company primarily involved in the development of domestic lithium supply in the United States through the Nevada North Lithium Project. The project is jointly held by Surge Battery Metals Inc. (70.54% interest) and Evolution Mining Limited (29.46% interest), located southeast of Jackpot, Nevada, approximately 73 kilometers northeast of Wells in Elko County. The first four drilling campaigns have identified a strongly mineralized lithium-bearing clay zone with a strike length exceeding 4,700 meters and a known width exceeding 2,000 meters, with soil anomalies and geophysical surveys suggesting the clay layer may extend further.
According to the company's Preliminary Economic Assessment released on May 19, 2025 (completed jointly by M3 Engineering & Technology Corp. and Independent Mining Consultants), the Nevada North Lithium Project reports an after-tax net present value (NPV8%) of $9.17 billion and an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.8%, based on a lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) price of $24,000 per tonne and an operating cost of $5,243 per tonne LCE. The project's current pit-constrained measured and indicated resources are estimated to contain 10.51 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, with a grade of 3,007 ppm Li at a cut-off grade of 1,250 ppm.
