Surge Battery Minerals Inc. announced it has negotiated an Option Agreement with Green River Gold Corp. for the acquisition of an 80% interest in a large contiguous block of 8 mineral claims comprising 2,219.34 hectares. The property is located 25 km east of the town of Quesnel in the central interior of British Columbia and is accessible year-round via provincial highway 26 and various well-maintained forestry roads.(Map quoted from Surge Battery Minerals’s website)

Government aeromagnetic data over the Quesnel Nickel Project indicates the presence of highly magnetic rocks co-incident with the interpreted surface exposure and down-dip projection of the favorable geologic unit. This is similar to the aeromagnetic response in the area of nickel-alloy mineralization found throughout the Decar District.

The four BC MINFILE occurrences are based on exploration work documented in 16 BC ARIS and 12 BC Property File reports, as well as various government agency reports and maps.

Within the property, limited rock sampling and analyses indicate nickel grades of 0.1 to 0.2% have been found in ultramafic rocks, comparable to those in the Decar District. Preliminary metallurgical work completed in 1971 has suggested the presence of nickel sulphide or nickel alloy minerals, but no Davis Tube analyses appear to have been conducted on any of the samples to confirm the presence of nickel alloys minerals, such as awaruite.
