(CSE: CRUZ) (OTC Pink: BKTPF) (FSE: A3CWU7) (\"Cruz\" or the \"Company\") wishes to announce that the phase-4 drill program is now underway on the 100-percent owned, 8,135-acre Solar Lithium Project in Nevada, directly bordering American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project (see map below). To date, the Company has now discovered the presence of lithium in every drill hole during the phase 1, 2 & 3 drill programs. Frank Bain, the on-site PGeo and a director of Cruz Battery Metals, stated: \"The phase-4 drill program is designed to test the eastern flank of the Solar Lithium Project, which has not had any drilling to date. If Cruz can achieve similar lithium grades on the phase-4 drill program that we've already encountered during the first 3 phases of drilling, it would significantly expand the known lithium footprint on this project.\"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.Jim Nelson, President of Cruz Battery Metals stated, \"We look forward to stepping out to the East to explore a new area of this project. The phase-4 drill program is Cruz's second lithium drill program of 2023, and we anticipate at least one additional phase of drilling on the 8,135-acre Solar Lithium Project within this calendar year. To date, all three phases of drilling have discovered the presence of lithium in every hole, and we've still only explored a small fraction of the property. Cruz is one of the largest landholders in the Big Smoky Valley of Nevada, directly bordering American Lithium. Cruz is well-funded to complete all planned drilling this year and we anticipate generating...
