American Lithium Corp. (“
American Lithium” or the
“
Company”) (TSX-V:LI | Nasdaq:AMLI |
Frankfurt:5LA1) has received written notification (the
“
Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
(“
Nasdaq”) on March 8, 2024, indicating that the
Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement
of US$1.00 per share under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) based
upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for the
thirty consecutive business days from January 25, 2024 to March 7,
2024.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the
listing or trading of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq, and
the Company’s operations are not affected by the receipt of the
Notice. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has
been provided 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or
until September 4, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum bid
requirement, during which time the Company’s common shares will
continue to trade on Nasdaq.
To regain compliance the Company’s common shares
must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of
ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain
compliance with the minimum bid requirement by September 4, 2024,
the Company may be eligible, upon satisfaction of certain Nasdaq
listing requirements, for an additional period of 180 calendar days
to regain compliance.
The Company will closely monitor the situation
and is considering various strategies to regain compliance with the
minimum bid requirement under Nasdaq's listing rules. The Notice
does not have any impact on the listing of the Company's common
shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.
New Era Publishing Inc.
The Company also confirms that its previous
engagement of New Era Publishing Inc. (“New Era”)
to provide marketing services to the Company, as announced by the
Company on May 8, 2023, was concluded on August 31, 2023 and no
further services have been provided since that date. During the
course of the engagement, New Era coordinated with Raging Bull LLC
(“Raging Bull”) to publish certain marketing
materials pertaining to the Company without the prior knowledge of
the Company. The Company has no current engagement with New Era,
nor does it presently have any intention to engage New Era to
provide further services to the Company. The TSX Venture Exchange
has not accepted the previous engagement of New Era, as it did not
comply with Exchange policy, and prior approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange will be required in the event of any future engagement
involving New Era, Raging Bull, its principals, and any other
service providers that provide activities under TSX Venture
Exchange Policy 3.4.

capacity, social or political instability in Peru which in turn
could impact American Lithium’s ability to maintain the continuity
of its business operating requirements, may result in the reduced
availability or failures of various local administration and
critical infrastructure, reduced demand for the American Lithium’s
potential products, availability of materials, global travel
restrictions, and the availability of insurance and the associated
costs; the ongoing ability to work cooperatively with stakeholders,
including but not limited to local communities and all levels of

Cautionary Note Regarding 32
Concessions
Thirty-two of the one-hundred-seventy-four
concessions comprising the Falchani and Macusani Projects are
currently subject to Administrative and Judicial processes in Peru
to overturn resolutions issued by INGEMMET and the Mining Council
of MINEM in February 2019 and July 2019, respectively, which
declared title to thirty-two concessions invalid due to late
receipt of the annual validity payments. On November 2, 2021,
American Lithium was awarded a favorable ruling in regard to title
to the concessions, but on November 26, 2021, appeals of the
judicial ruling were lodged by INGEMMET and MINEM. A three-judge
tribunal of Peru’s Superior Court unanimously upheld the ruling in
a decision reported in November 2023. American Lithium was
subsequently notified that INGEMMET and MINEM have filed petitions
to the Supreme Court of Peru to assume jurisdiction in the
proceedings. Given the precedent of the original ruling it is hoped
that the Supreme Court will not assume jurisdiction; however, there
is no assurance of the outcome at this time.
