December 15, 2020, Vancouver, British Columbia – Surge Copper Corp. (TSXV: SURG) (“Surge” or the “Company”) has entered into a definitive option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc., a TSX listed Company (“Centerra”) whereby Surge will have the right to acquire a 70% interest in the Berg copper-molybdenum-silver project through issuing C$5 million in common shares of Surge and C$8 million in spending commitments, in each case, over a period of up to five years. Berg hosts a large porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver deposit located in the Tahtsa Ranges in central British Columbia. The main deposit at Berg is located approximately 28km northwest of Surge’s Ootsa project on a 34,798 hectare tenement package which is contiguous with the Ootsa property. Berg is currently 100% owned by Centerra.
Dr. Shane Ebert, Chief Executive Officer of Surge, commented: “The acquisition of Berg is highly strategic to Surge, as it solidifies the Company’s position in the district, and adds both significant, high quality historical resources, and a large, prospective land package. Surge is advancing a multitrack agenda of aggressive exploration and strategic copper district consolidation in British Columbia, and this transaction represents an important step in our path forward.”
