Cruz Battery Metals Corp. announced that it has completed the phase-4 drill program on the 100-% owned, 8,135-acre Solar Lithium Project in Nevada, directly bordering American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project. Four Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes were completed during the phase-4 drill program on the Solar Lithium Project.

Two holes, Solar-11 and Solar-13 were successfully completed on the Eastern portion of the Solar Lithium Project, Solar-12 was lost because of technical reasons. Solar-13, the farthest North RC hole encountered a 375-foot-thick clay section within the Siebert Formation. The RC hole Solar-10, Cruz's Southernmost drill hole, located immediately North of the American Lithium Claim boundary, encountered 400 feet of potential lithium bearing clay within the Siebert Formation.

The phase-4 drill program samples have been sent to ALS in Reno and the results are expected in four to eight weeks. The 'Solar Lithium Project' directly borders American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project. On January 17, 2023, American Lithium Corp.

announced a resource estimate, in an independent National Instrument 43-101 titled "Technical Report TLC Property" prepared by Stantec Consulting Ltd., for the TLC lithium claystone property containing 8.83 million tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) measured & indicated with another 1.86 million tonnes LCE inferred. 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.
