American Lithium Corp. (“American Lithium” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V:LI | Nasdaq:AMLI | Frankfurt:5LA1) is pleased to issue a
letter to shareholders.
Dear Shareholders,
As the newly appointed Interim Chief Executive
Officer of American Lithium, I am pleased to update you on our
progress as we prepare for an inevitable lithium market recovery,
particularly for “Made in America” lithium carbonate. All told, it
has been a challenging period for the battery metals industry, with
market conditions affecting all lithium developers worldwide.
Despite this, we are committed and poised for what we are confident
will be a robust recovery, especially with recent global
developments creating renewed optimism.
The sharp decline in lithium prices – from a
high of $85,000 per ton to around $10,000 per ton, has impacted
valuations across the board for all lithium developers, including
us. This being said, we remain focused on diligently advancing each
of our large-scale “green metals” deposits towards a
pre-feasibility study (an initial blueprint for a mine) and
beyond.
To adapt to evolving market conditions, we have
taken proactive steps, including cost-cutting measures, carefully
managing our advanced development work, implementing management
changes, and prioritizing the preservation of our treasury. These
actions are designed to prepare us for when market conditions
improve. Our top priority remains ensuring the advancement of all
ongoing projects and continuing our strong relationships with our
communities.
As the first seedlings of an industry-wide
recovery begin to sprout, we are seeing new marketplaces emerge to
support the advent of premium pricing for lithium carbonate
supplies. This bodes especially well for American Lithium.
Plus, we aim to benefit from Peru’s bid to
generate its own nuclear energy, as one of the founding members of
the International Atomic Energy Agency, by unlocking value at the
Company’s premier Macusani Uranium Project.
Our business fundamentals remain strong going
forward. In fact, the past 18 months have seen our resource base
grow substantially at both TLC and Falchani, elevating them on a
global scale.
Both countries in which we operate continue to
support securing a strong domestic critical metals supply chain and
our goal is to provide a meaningful contribution to this end.
I look forward to the opportunity to share our
strategic vision for the future with you and all our stakeholders.
In line with this, we will be publishing an operational update this
month on our projects and the path forward. Thank you for your
ongoing support and commitment to the American Lithium.

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.
