The company has completed approximately 1,500 metres of resource drilling and initiated geotechnical studies. A notable achievement includes the first-ever uphill-angle drilling at Berg, with a successful 456-metre hole completed at a 14-degree positive dip.
The company will participate in several investor events including the Precious Metals Summit, Metals Investor Forum, and Resourcing Tomorrow. Additionally, Surge is finalizing a strategic private placement expected to raise $4.5 million, which will increase a strategic investor's ownership to 19.9% of outstanding shares, pending regulatory approvals.
Surge Copper (OTCQB: SRGXF) has launched its 2025 field program at the 100%-owned Berg copper-molybdenum-precious metals project in central British Columbia. The program, running from mid-July through late September, represents the final field campaign before completing a resource update and pre-feasibility study.
The campaign includes 5,000 metres of drilling using two drill rigs, focusing on technical objectives such as geochemical characterization, resource delineation, and geotechnical investigations. The company has also secured an amended and extended exploration permit valid through March 31, 2030, authorizing 103 drill holes, 22 helipads, and 40 mechanical test pits.
Surge Copper Corp (TSXV: SURG) (OTCQB: SRGXF) has released results from an industrial energy efficiency study for its Berg Project in central British Columbia. The study, conducted by Ausenco Engineering Canada with BC Hydro's support, evaluates the potential benefits of incorporating high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) technology versus traditional semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) and ball milling.
Key findings show that laboratory tests confirm Berg's mineralized material is suitable for HPGR technology, which could potentially reduce grinding power requirements by 25% and overall annual energy consumption in the grinding circuit by approximately 20% compared to traditional SAG milling.
The study provides a conceptual-level assessment while acknowledging the need for additional trade-off analysis considering environmental impact, carbon footprint, and regional energy supply dynamics. The company is also conducting ongoing metallurgical testing at ALS, with results pending, and awaiting analysis from six geotechnical core holes drilled in 2024.
Surge Copper Corp. (SRGXF) has announced significant drilling results from its Ootsa Project, highlighting the expansion of copper-gold mineralization. The key findings include:
Hole S24-337 intersected 108 metres grading 0.35% CuEq (0.25% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag) from 24 metres depth, within a longer interval of 280 metres grading 0.27% CuEq. The deeper portion revealed multiple intervals of breccia-style mineralization with higher grades, including 10 metres grading 0.55% CuEq.
The drilling program, consisting of 2 holes totaling 897 metres, was conducted at the Cu-Au Target located 300 metres northeast of the East Seel deposit. While hole S24-336 did not extend the zone northward, hole S24-337 successfully expanded the zone to depth, with the exploration target remaining open to the east and west.
Surge Copper Corp. (TSXV: SURG) (OTCQB: SRGXF) has appointed Dr. Paul West-Sells to its board of directors.

Upon exercise, Surge will grant vendors a 3.5% NSR royalty, with an option to buy back 50% for $6,000,000. The company will also allocate $300,000 in assessment work credits within 30 days.
Surge Copper has announced significant drilling results from its Berg project in British Columbia. Hole BRG24-255 intersected 320 metres grading 0.46% CuEq from 10 metres depth, including 88 metres grading 0.87% CuEq. Hole BRG24-256 intersected 178 metres grading 0.40% CuEq from 10 metres depth. Both holes were targeted to infill the western portion of the deposit to support resource definition and are expected to upgrade zones of Inferred resources. An initial test of the Berg SW target showed promising mineralization several hundred metres outboard of the main deposit.
