Surge Copper controls a large, consolidated mineral tenure package in central British Columbia, anchored by the Berg and Ootsa projects and a broad portfolio of regional exploration targets. Together, these assets form a district-scale copper-molybdenum-silver-gold platform with advanced resources, significant exploration potential, and proximity to established regional infrastructure.
The Company's project portfolio is located within a productive mineral belt that hosts multiple porphyry copper systems, including the past-producing Huckleberry Mine. Surge's mineral tenure position covers a large area of prospective geology and includes several known mineralized centres, ranging from the PFS-stage Berg Copper Project to the advanced resource base at the Ootsa Project and earlier-stage regional targets.

Surge's mineral tenure covers approximately 141,699 hectares across the Berg-Ootsa district. This consolidated tenure position provides exposure to multiple styles and stages of porphyry copper exploration and development, including advanced resource-stage deposits and a pipeline of targets with potential for future discovery.
The district benefits from its location in central British Columbia, an established resource development region with forestry roads, power infrastructure, nearby service centres, and a history of mining activity. The presence of the Huckleberry Mine and related infrastructure underscores the long-recognized mineral potential of the broader district.
Surge's strategy is to advance the district in a disciplined manner, with Berg as the flagship development-stage project, Ootsa as a second advanced project area with defined resources, and regional exploration providing longer-term discovery upside across the broader tenure package.
The Berg Copper Project is Surge's flagship asset and the most advanced project in the portfolio. Berg is a large-scale copper-molybdenum-silver porphyry project that has advanced through pre-feasibility level engineering and provides the development anchor for the district.
Berg is being advanced as a potential long-life, standalone critical mineral project with access to regional infrastructure and a clear pathway into environmental assessment and future feasibility work.

The Ootsa Project includes the Seel and Ox deposits and represents and advanced resource-stage project area within Surge's broader district position. Ootsa provides additional copper-gold-molybdenum-silver exposure and sits within the same regional mineral belt as Berg and Huckleberry.
Ootsa adds scale and optionality to the Company's portfolio and demonstrates the broader endowment of the district beyond the flagship Berg Copper Project.
Surge's regional exploration portfolio includes a pipeline of porphyry copper targets across the broader mineral tenure package. These targets provide discovery potential beyond the known resource centres and support the Company's view that the Berg-Ootsa area represents a district-scale copper opportunity.
Regional exploration is focused on identifying, ranking, and advancing targets with the potential to add new mineralized centres over time.
The Berg-Ootsa district is located in central British Columbia, a stable mining jurisdiction with established resource development expertise and access to regional service centres. The project areas are accessible through existing road networks and are located within a broader industrial region that includes forestry, power infrastructure, natural gas pipelines and liquefaction terminals, mining and smelting activity, and transportation corridors.
The location of the district provides important strategic advantages. Existing access corridors, proximity to the Huckleberry Mine area, and potential connection to the BC Hydro grid support the long-term development potential of the portfolio. These factors are particularly important for large-scale copper projects, where infrastructure, power, logistics, and permitting pathways are central to project advancement.
Surge holds a large mineral tenure position across the Berg-Ootsa district, including 100%-ownership of the Berg and Ootsa projects. Certain mineral claims are subject to underlying royalties and legacy agreements, as described in the Company's public disclosure documents.
This tenure position provides Surge with control over a broad and prospective mineral district, allowing the Company to evaluate project development, infrastructure planning, environmental studies, and exploration strategy on an integrated regional basis.
Large, long-life copper projects in stable jurisdictions are increasingly important as copper demand continues to be driven by electrification, grid investment, industrial growth, and the energy transition. The Berg-Ootsa district combines several attributes that are difficult to find in a single portfolio: scale, advanced resources, exploration upside, infrastructure proximity, and location in a well-established Canadian mining jurisdiction.
Surge's portfolio is designed to capture this opportunity through a staged approach. Berg provides the long-life development anchor. Ootsa provides additional defined resources and optionality. Our regional exploration targets provide the potential for future discoveries across the broader district.
