Peruvian Superior Court Unanimously Confirms Title of American Lithium’s 32 Disputed Mineral Concessions
November 15 2023 - 7:00AM
American Lithium Corp. (“American Lithium” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V:LI | NASDAQ:AMLI | Frankfurt:5LA1) is pleased to announce
that a three judge tribunal of Peru’s Superior Court SALA 4
specialized in administration disputes has unanimously upheld the
ruling of the lower court judge from Court SALA 6 announced on
November 2, 2021 in favour of the Company’s subsidiary, Macusani
Yellowcake (“Macusani”) in relation to title over 32 disputed
concessions out of 172 owned by Macusani.
The Court ruling, consistent with prior legal
proceedings, clearly establishes that Macusani is the rightful
owner of these concessions. Furthermore, it highlights that the
action launched by INGEMMET and MINEM in October 2018 was baseless
and unsubstantiated.
Simon Clarke, CEO of American Lithium
states, “We are extremely pleased with this ruling as it
validates the Company’s contention that the actions of INGEMMET and
MINEM were inappropriate from the start of this process. It is very
encouraging to see that the Peruvian Judicial System continues to
support the facts of this case and has found against INGEMMET and
MINEM for the actions they have taken. The Company has never lost
title over the disputed concessions, which only represent a small
fraction of our leases. For this reason, we have continued to
advance the Falchani project and look forward to the announcement
of additional progress shortly.”
