Surge Congratulates, Sun Metals Corp., on a Successful Drill Program Near Surge's Mineral Mountain Claims in North Central BC

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Surge Exploration Inc. ("the Company" or "Surge") (TSXV: SUR) (OTC: SURJF) (FRA: DJ5C) is pleased to congratulate neighbouring company, Sun Metals Corp. for its recently announced positive drill results on its Stardust claim in the Omineca Mining District.  Sun Metals released today that the first three holes reported from Stardust have all intersected significant copper gold mineralization. Sun Metals believes the results confirm continuity of mineralization down dip and to the south from drill hole DDH18-SD-421, the initial discovery hole in the 421 zone Sunmetals News Aug 13, 2019.

Tim Fernback, Surge CEO states, "We are very happy to hear the positive results achieved from the recent mineral exploration & drilling program completed by Sun Metals on its Stardust claim.  Surge management are big believers in the region and this is a testament to the good results that are potential in this prolific gold and copper region.  We look forward to hearing more news from the neighbouring Stardust deposit and Kwanika deposit which is explored by Serengeti Resources Inc. and POSCO Daewoo."

Surge acquired a 100% interest in 12 mineral claims which is a sizable land position within British Columbia's prolific Omineca Mining District.  Surge now has Copper-Gold mineral claims totalling 26,455 hectares (265 sq km) in the area.  

About the Property

The Omineca Group of 12 claim blocks (see map) lie in the Omineca Mining Division of north-central British Columbia, approximately 150 km north of Fort St. James. The claims are not subject to any royalty terms, back-in rights, payments or any other agreements and encumbrances.

B.C. Minfile assessment report data indicates that most of the area covered by the Omineca Group claim blocks were at one time or another covered by staking during surges of exploration in B.C. dating from the 1940's to present day.  Largely the claims appear to have been minimally explored with little follow-up.  However, some work was recorded on several claims with results for stream sediment sampling showing anomalous to highly anomalous results for gold in a few areas.  These areas were recommended for detailed follow-up, however due to a previous commodity price downturn no further work was recorded.

Prominent among early discoveries in the Omineca region were the nearby Lustdust/Stardust property (Sun Metals Corp.) covering a large, coherent integrated porphyry-skarn-manto, epithermal system; the Kwanika property (Serengeti Resources Inc./POSCO Daewoo) a promising advanced stage copper-gold project; the Lorraine property (Teck Resources and Sun Metals) host to a significant copper-gold NI 43-101 compliant resource.  The Surge tenures are located between the Kemess North project being developed by Centerra Gold's subsidiary Aurico Metals and Centerra Gold's operation Mt Milligan mine.
