Cruz Battery Metals Corp. announced that it has expanded the 100% owned 'Solar Lithium Project' in Nevada by approximately 1,920 contiguous acres to now encompass 8,135 total contiguous acres. The 'Solar Lithium Project' directly borders American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project.

This strategically located land was added based on the data gathered so far on the 'Solar Lithium Project'. On January 17, 2022, the Company announced assays for first phase of drilling on the 'Solar Lithium Project'. Multiple intercepts of the targeted potential lithium-bearing claystone formation were encountered in all the holes drilled in this initial phase of drilling.

Values in Hole-1 were as high as 1,300 ppm/Li and encountered lithium bearing clays from 10 feet to 200 feet with a 60-foot intercept averaging 968.33 ppm/Li. Hole-2 had a high value of 1120 ppm/Li including a 60-foot interval averaging 768 ppm/Li. Hole-3 was stopped while still drilling the targeted claystone due to a blizzard that made drilling impossible.

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.
