American Lithium Announces Financial and Operating Highlights
for Year and Quarter Ended February 29, 2024
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, May 30, 2024 - American Lithium Corp. ("American Lithium" or the "Company") (TSX-V:LI | Nasdaq:AMLI | Frankfurt:5LA1) is pleased to provide financial and operating highlights for the fiscal year and quarter ended February 29, 2024. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts presented are in Canadian dollars.
Simon Clarke, CEO of American Lithium, comments, "This was an extremely successful year operationally for both Falchani and TLC, our advanced lithium projects in Peru and Nevada, respectively. We also made strong progress in positioning our large-scale uranium project, Macusani (in Peru), to unlock value for the Company and its shareholders. The filing of the maiden PEA for TLC and an updated PEA on Falchani demonstrated robust economics for both projects and led to a combined after-tax net present value of approximately US$8.37 billion. However, the overall market conditions for lithium developers have been very challenging throughout the financial year, with a major correction in the commodity price driving equity prices to very low valuations.
Going forward, with lithium prices appearing to have bottomed and uranium prices having strengthened further, we feel we are uniquely placed to benefit from any sustained recovery and in the interim, we continue to prudently manage our working capital."
Highlights for the Year:
Nevada:
Peru:
Corporate:
For all technical information related to the (1) TLC PEA Report effective as of January 31st, 2023, the (2) Falchani MRE filed on December 15th, 2023, and the (3) Falchani PEA Report effective as of January 10th, 2024, please refer to the Company's SEDAR+ page at www.sedarplus.ca or the Company's website at www.americanlithiumcorp.com.
Readers are cautioned that PEAs are preliminary in nature and include inferred resources that are considered too speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty the estimates presented in the PEAs will be realized.
Ted O'Connor, PGeo, Executive Vice-President of American Lithium and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
