Cruz Cobalt Clayton Valley Lithium Update
Vancouver, June 14, 2021 - Cruz Cobalt Corp. (CSE: CRUZ) (OTC Pink: BKTPF) (FSE: A2DMG8) ("Cruz" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on developments in the Clayton Valley. Recently (June 10, 2021), Schlumberger and Panasonic Energy of North America announced a collaboration agreement to optimize and validate a lithium extraction and production process to be used by Schlumberger New Energy at its NeoLith Energy pilot plant in the Clayton Valley using Pure Energy's land. Cruz lies directly in the deepest part of this basin that this work is being conducted (see map). According to Schlumberger's news "Neolith Energy's objective will be to pump brine from the subsurface, extract greater than 90% of the dissolved lithium, and pump more than 85% of the brine back to the subsurface in an environmentally safe manner. In addition to maximizing the reinjection of the brine, the goal is to eliminate the need for any fresh water from an external source and reduce the environmental impact."

Jim Nelson, President of Cruz states, "We are pleased to have some of the largest energy and battery companies in the world take this project to the next level. Cruz is one of the very few companies that have land and access to the deepest part of this brine basin. The development of their pilot project will cost approximately USD 30 million. The expected surge in demand for lithium as the electric vehicle (EV) market takes off worldwide is immense and Cruz is geared for a busy summer working on our EV projects. We are well positioned and fully financed to work on projects in the cobalt camp of Ontario, the lithium brine basin in Clayton Valley as well as our cobalt project in Idaho."
