Cruz Battery Metals Renews Nevada Lithium Claims

Cruz Battery Metals Corp. (“Cruz” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the company has renewed all of its lithium claims in Nevada, including the Solar Lithium Project, strategically located directly adjacent to the TLC Lithium Project operated by American Lithium Corp. (LI, AMLIF) and Cruz’s Clayton Valley lithium brine projects located directly inside of Schlumberger’s (SLB) lithium deposit. The renewed claims maintain Cruz’s foothold in one of the most active lithium districts in the United States at a time when news has broken that President Trump is backing Lithium Americas (LAC) Thacker Pass lithium deposit in Nevada.James Nelson, President of Cruz Battery Metals, stated, “President Trump’s endorsement of the Thacker Pass project is a strong vote of confidence for the entire Nevada lithium sector. We believe this could mark a turning point in investor sentiment toward U.S.-based lithium companies. With demand rapidly growing due to advancements in self-driving vehicles and robotics, Cruz is well-positioned at the early stages of what we believe is a renewed focus on Nevada’s lithium assets. We are confident this is just the first inning of a major cycle for the sector.”

Cruz remains committed to advancing its lithium assets at a time when a U.S. domestic supply is becoming increasingly strategic and globally relevant.
