RETRANSMISSION: Cruz Battery Metals Discovers Lithium Values Up To 1610 ppm Li From a Sampling Program on the 'Solar Lithium Project' in Nevada
Vancouver, October 12, 2021 - Cruz Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: CRUZ) (OTC Pink: BKTPF) (FSE: A3CWU7) ("Cruz" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has encountered multiple (5) separate sample results returning values higher than 1,059 parts per million ("ppm") lithium ("Li"), including values as high as 1,610 ppm Li. All of the samples were taken from the Company's newly acquired "Solar Lithium Project" in Nevada, comprised of approximately 5,500 acres. Cruz plans to be drilling this project shortly using the information provided by the recent sample program, designed to test the high-grade target areas. Nevada is the go-to address for North American lithium production and Cruz is extremely pleased to have a sizeable footprint in this world-class district, directly bordering American Lithium Corp.'s (LI-TSX.v) 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. Lithium prices have recently broken out to 3-year highs and investor interest in 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 announce we've encountered five separate sample results over 1,059 ppm Li, including grades as high as 1,610 ppm Li on the newly acquired Solar Lithium Project in Nevada, directly bordering American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project. On Oct. 5, 2021, American Lithium Corp announced it has received approval from the BLM for a 15-hole drill program on their recently increased land position (announced on Sept. 8, 2021) in the direction of Cruz's Solar Lithium Project, within this exciting lithium district. We are about to come into a major news flow cycle and management remains confident that 2021 will be a transformative year for the Company as Cruz has multiple strategically located, and ethically sourced, lithium and cobalt projects in North America. We are working diligently to increase shareholder value and we are optimistic about the company's growth potential for the remainder of 2021 and beyond."
