Surge Copper Intersects 28 metres of 0.9% CuEq including 16 metres of 1.3% CuEq at the Seel Breccia Zone

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 1, 2022

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Surge Copper Corp. (TSXV: SURG) (OTCQX: SRGXF) (Frankfurt: G6D2) ("Surge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce complete assay results for 5 holes from the Seel Breccia Zone and 2 regional exploration holes from the Ox Trend at the Company's 100% owned Ootsa Property in British Columbia. The Seel Breccia Zone is located 200 metres north of the East Seel deposit and is known to contain high-grade copper and silver mineralization that extends from surface along a series of steeply dipping brecciated zones. Drilling during the summer 2021 program encountered this style of breccia mineralization in a stepout to the north and west of the known zone, and this release contains the third batch of results from follow-up drilling in this area. The first and second batches of results were released on December 7, 2021 and January 11, 2022 respectively.

Highlights

• Hole S21-299 intersected 48 metres grading 0.54% copper equivalent from 94 metres downhole depth, including 16 metres grading 0.64% copper equivalent
• Hole S21-300 intersected 28 metres grading 0.90% copper equivalent from 88 metres downhole depth, including 16 metres grading 1.27% copper equivalent
• Drilling has extended the strike length of the zone to 300 metres
• Hole 299, in conjunction with hole 298 (see Press Release dated January 11, 2022) demonstrates continuity in the eastern portion of the zone and opens the zone up for further expansion in this direction

Assay results have been received for 5 holes from the Seel Breccia Zone including holes S21-299 to 302 and S21-304. Significant results are summarized in the table below. Hole locations and orientations are shown on the drill hole map and select holes are illustrated on the cross section below.   

Hole S21-299 was located on the eastern side of the Breccia Zone and intersected 48 metres grading 0.40% copper and 11.1 g/t silver (0.54% copper equivalent) from 94 metres downhole, including 16 metres grading 0.48% copper and 13.1 g/t silver (0.64% copper equivalent), demonstrating the zone remains open on the east side.

Hole S21-300 tested the zone near the western end, 250 metres west of hole S21-299, and returned strong grades, further demonstrating the strike potential of the zone. Hole S21-300 intersected 28 metres grading 0.65% copper and 16.9 g/t silver (0.90% copper equivalent) from 88 metres downhole, including 16 metres grading 0.94% copper and 25.3 g/t silver (1.27% copper equivalent).

Holes S21-301 and 302 intersected the Seel Breccia at depth on the west side and suggest mineralization narrows with depth in this area. Hole S21-304 was collared south of the Seel Breccia and drilled away from the zone testing the hangingwall. The hole intersected 8 metres grading 0.27% copper and 6.3 g/t Ag (0.34% copper equivalent) and demonstrates potenital for additional zones of breccia style mineralization surrounding the main breccia body.
