January 16 2024 - 6:00AM
American Lithium Corp. (“American Lithium” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V:LI | Nasdaq:AMLI | Frankfurt:5LA1) provides financial and
operating highlights for the third quarter ended November 30, 2023.
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts presented are in Canadian
dollars.
Simon Clarke, CEO of American Lithium comments,
“This was an extremely busy period with significant achievements
across our projects in Peru and Nevada. This momentum has continued
past quarter end with the completion of the updated PEA for
Falchani, highlighting very robust economics for the project,
including a tripling of NPV from the last PEA.”
Highlights of the Quarter:
- Resource Update at Falchani
– newly updated mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) resulted
in a 476% increase in Measured and Indicated Resources (“M&I”)
to 5.53 million tonnes (“Mt”) of lithium carbonate (447 Mt @ 2,327
parts per million (“ppm”) Li) to the block model.
- Unanimous Ruling in Peru
- Peru’s Superior Court unanimously upheld the previously
announced ruling in favour of the Company’s subsidiary, Macusani
Yellowcake in relation to title over 32 disputed concessions out of
172 owned by Macusani. The Court ruling clearly establishes that
Macusani is the rightful owner of these concessions and highlights
that the action launched by the Geological, Mining, and
Metallurgical Institute (“INGEMMET”) and Ministry of Energy and
Mines (“MINEM”) in October 2018 was baseless and
unsubstantiated.
- Semi-Detailed Environmental
Impact Study (EIA-sd) – submitted for Falchani to the
MINEM ahead of schedule. With the filing acknowledged by MINEM,
regulatory approval for the EIA-sd is anticipated in the coming
months.
- Lithium Discovery at
Quelcaya in Peru – new lithium (“Li”) discovery 6
kilometres west of Falchani with assays up to 2,668 ppm lithium and
over 222 metres of continuous mineralization.
- Flow Sheet
Refinement - continued refinement of the TLC PEA flow
sheet with higher Li purity (99.54%) indicating enhanced economic
potential of this project.
- Annual General Meeting
– shareholders voted in favor of the proposals set forth
in the Management Information Circular, including the re-election
of seven members to the board of directors for the fiscal
year.
Subsequent Events:
- Updated PEA for
Falchani – highlights robust economics, after-tax NPV
triples to US $5.11 billion, IRR of 32% and low opex of $5,093 /t
LCE.
- Technical Report Filed for
Falchani - independent National Instrument 43-101
Technical Report on the updated MRE for the Falchani filed
showcasing the 476% increase in M&I Resources.
- Resource Footprint Expanded
at TLC – step out drilling has expanded the measured
resource footprint at the TLC Lithium Project. A total of 26
diamond core holes and 16 reverse circulation holes drilled in 2022
and 2023 will be added to the updated mineral resource block model
and incorporated into an updated MRE on TLC.
- Petition Filed in Peru
– following the unanimous ruling from the Peruvian
Superior Court confirming the Company’s title to 32 disputed
concessions, INGEMMET and MINEM petitioned the Supreme Court in a
final attempt to reverse the ruling.
