Cruz Battery Metals Secures Drill Permit for the 'Solar Lithium Project' in Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 29, 2021) - Cruz Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: CRUZ) (OTC Pink: BKTPF) (FSE: A3CWU7) ("Cruz" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has secured the drill permit from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the Solar Lithium Project in Nevada. Cruz's 'Solar Lithium Project' directly borders American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project (see map below). According to the Stantec report dated April 15, 2020, the Tonopah Lithium Claims (TLC Project) currently contains 5.37 Mt (million tonnes) Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) measured and indicated with another 1.76 Mt LCE inferred. Results from Cruz's recent sampling program on the 'Solar Lithium Project' included values as high as 1,610 parts per million ("ppm") lithium ("Li"). Cruz plans to be drilling this project shortly using the information provided by the recent sampling program, designed to test the high-grade target areas. Lithium prices have exploded to all-time highs and investor interest in Nevada lithium stocks continues to be robust. Cruz Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Cruz may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.

Jim Nelson, President of Cruz states, "We are very pleased to have received this drill permit. We expect the drilling to commence shortly and with drillers being extremely difficult to secure, there will be a significant investor focus on Cruz, as we commence this drill program. Cruz uncovered substantial surface sample numbers as high as 1,610 ppm Li on this property. Considering we will be drilling right near the border to American Lithium Corp's TLC project whose market cap has soared to over 600 million, Cruz's management is very optimistic about what the drill results will indicate. The next few weeks will be very exciting and transformative for Cruz Battery Metals."
