In consideration for the Concessions, the Company has agreed to pay US$400,000 and to issue 2,250,000 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) to the vendor. Completion of the transaction contemplated by the Transfer Agreement remains subject to completion of applicable transfer registrations in Peru and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All Consideration Shares issued to the vendor will be subject to restrictions on resale for a period of four-months-and-one-day in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Simon Clarke, CEO of American Lithium, stated, “We are very pleased to be able to add these large, highly prospective concessions, close to the areas where we have generated some of the best exploration results to date.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Macusani ConcessionsThirty-two of the 151 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 Macusani’s title to all 32 concessions from November 3, 2021 represents the final stage of the current judicial process. However, this ruling has been appealed by MINEM and INGEMMET. American Lithium has no assurance that the outcome of these appeals will be in the Company’s favour.
