09:55 AM EDT, 06/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Surge Copper ( SRGXF ) on Tuesday said the results from its metallurgical program for the Berg Project in central British Columbia yielded recoveries of up to 90.7% copper and 93% molybdenum through locked cycle testing.

The company also achieved a high consistency in recovery results across variability composites for both copper and molybdenum. Surge said the tests also demonstrated "excellent" copper and molybdenum separation.

The program was designed to support future pre-feasibility level technical studies and confirm the amenability of conventional flotation processes for producing saleable copper and molybdenum concentrates, a statement said.

"Berg is one of the largest undeveloped copper-molybdenum projects in North America, and these results represent a major milestone in demonstrating its technical and economic strength," said Leif Nilsson, chief executive officer. "While our copper grades are strong by regional standards, the molybdenum contribution is a true differentiator, with globally competitive head grades and now clearly demonstrated high recoveries for both metals."

The company's shares were last seen up $0.005, to $0.15, on the TSX Venture Exchange.
