Vancouver, BC – April 23, 2019 – Surge Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “Surge”) (TSXV: SUR, OTCQB:SURJF, FRA: DJ5C)announces that it has decided to refocus its corporate efforts on mineral exploration and to concentrate its exploration dollars in North America. Given this change, the Company is no longer pursuing the proposed Atacama Cobalto (cobalt) project and Incahuasi (lithium) projects and the Company has decided to close its Santiago exploration office.
Mr. Tim Fernback, Surge President & CEO, comments “Given the direction of the cobalt and lithium commodity markets lately, the Company has decided to pause its international expansion plans and refocus its resources on its Canadian properties. Management and the Board both agree that this effort should provide the biggest opportunity for Surge shareholders going forward. In particular, our exploration properties in British Columbia’s Omineca Region appear to well situated given the proposed 2019 exploration activity in the area by our neighbours.”
