SURGE BATTERY METALS ANNOUNCES THE APPOINTMENT OF MR. IAIN SCARR B.SC. MBA AS DIRECTOR

Iain Scarr has joined the board of directors of Surge Battery Metals Inc., effective immediately.

Mr. Scarr has a BSc in geology from California State University and an MBA from the University of Southern California.

During a 29-year tenure with Rio Tinto, including his latest position as commercial director and vice-president of exploration, industrial minerals division, Mr. Scarr was responsible for multiple mineral discoveries in North and South America and Africa. Under that title he worked on initial testing and commercialization activities for the Jadar lithium-borosilicate resource in Serbia. Following his work with Rio Tinto, Mr. Scarr founded IMEX Consultants, an industrial minerals consultancy that operates across the entire value chain, from mineral exploration to mine and refinery development and commercialization, specializing in lithium, boron, potash and sodium alkali resources.

In recent years, Mr. Scarr held a senior role with Lithium One Inc., where he was responsible for bringing the Sal de Vida lithium brine project in Argentina through feasibility, a project subsequently merged with Orocobre Ltd. He participated in the development of the Rincon lithium project with Enirgi Group Corp. (subsequently acquired by Rio Tinto for $825-million). His third lithium success came in the role of director and vice-president of exploration for Millennial Lithium Corp. which resulted in the sale of the Pastos Grandes lithium project to Lithium Americas Corp. for $400-million.

Greg Reimer, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are excited that Iain is joining the board of Surge Battery Metals as we continue to build a strong team with solid lithium experience. Iain brings a wealth of knowledge to our company as exemplified by an impressive track record of exploration successes in South America and elsewhere. Going forward, Iain will be actively involved in the growth and development of the company's flagship asset, the Nevada North lithium project. We are fortunate to have enlisted Iain's expertise and I look forward to advancing our exploration and development activities in Nevada in the months ahead."
