Cautionary Note Regarding Macusani
ConcessionsThirty-two of the 169 concessions held by
American Lithium’s subsidiary Macusani, are currently subject to
Administrative and Judicial processes (together, the “Processes”)
in Peru to overturn resolutions issued by INGEMMET and the Mining
Council of MINEM in February 2019 and July 2019, respectively,
which declared Macusani’s title to 32 of the concessions invalid
due to late receipt of the annual validity payments. In November
2019, Macusani applied for injunctive relief on 32 concessions in a
Court in Lima, Peru and was successful in obtaining such an
injunction on 17 of the concessions including three of the four
concessions included in the Macusani Uranium Project PEA. The grant
of the Precautionary Measure (Medida Cautelar) has restored the
title, rights and validity of those 17 concessions to Macusani
until a final decision is obtained at the last stage of the
judicial process. A Precautionary Measure application was made at
the same time for the remaining 15 concessions and was ultimately
granted by a Court in Lima, Peru on March 2, 2021 which has also
restored the title, rights and validity of those 15 remaining
concessions to Macusani, with the result being that all 32
concessions are now protected by Precautionary Measure (Medida
Cautelar) until a final decision on this matter is obtained at the
last stage of the judicial process. The favourable judge’s ruling
confirming title to all 32 concessions from November 3, 2021
represents the final stage of the current judicial process.
However, this ruling has recently been appealed by MINEM and
INGEMMET. American Lithium has no assurance that the outcome of
these appeals will be in the Company’s favour.
