Surge Copper Expands Copper-Gold Mineralization at Ootsa Intersecting 108 Metres Grading 0.35% Copper Equivalent

Core Viewpoint - Surge Copper Corp. has announced positive assay results from drill holes S24-336 and S24-337 at the Ootsa Project, indicating significant potential for resource expansion in the area, particularly in copper-gold mineralization [1][2][8]. Summary by Sections Exploration Results - Drill hole S24-336 did not extend the mineralization zone to the north, while drill hole S24-337 significantly expanded the known mineralization to depth, with the exploration target remaining open to the east and west [2][8]. - Hole S24-337 intersected 256 metres grading 0.27% copper equivalent (CuEq), including 108 metres grading 0.35% CuEq from 24 to 132 metres depth [4][7]. - The deeper portion of hole S24-337 encountered multiple intervals of higher-grade mineralization, including 10 metres grading 0.55% CuEq from 264 to 274 metres depth [4][7]. Drill Hole Details - Hole S24-336 was drilled to a total depth of 429 metres and encountered altered quartz porphyry, with a notable zone of gold mineralization returning 16 metres grading 0.30 g/t gold [5]. - Hole S24-337 was drilled to 468 metres depth and assessed the depth extent of known copper-gold porphyry mineralization, revealing a mix of mineralized and unmineralized rock types [6][7]. Company Strategy and Focus - The company remains focused on the Berg Project but sees compelling exploration opportunities at the Ootsa Project due to the attractive characteristics of the copper-gold mineralization discovered [2][8]. - The results from the 2024 drilling program, combined with previous successful drilling, highlight the potential for significant resource growth in the Ootsa Project area [2][8]. Technical and Quality Control - All drill core is logged, photographed, and analyzed by an accredited laboratory, ensuring quality control through duplicate samples and certified standards [13].
