Jim Nelson, President of Cruz states, "We are very pleased to have contracted Harris for the upcoming drill program on the Solar Lithium Project in Nevada, directly bordering American Lithium Corp.'s TLC project. Harris Exploration is one of the most reputable and professional drilling companies operating in Nevada with extensive knowledge and experience drilling for lithium. We are encouraged by the results from the recent sampling program which included grades as high as 1,610 ppm Li, which are some of the highest sample results this year in Nevada. In light of the recent massive lithium rush in Nevada, drill rigs are at a premium and Cruz will be one of the few companies to have secured a drill rig within this current lithium exploration boom. 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 enough cash in the treasury to fund all planned drill programs. 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."
