AMERICAN LITHIUM ADDS VANADIUM OPPORTUNITY TO NEVADA ASSET MIX
Vancouver, BC, January 21, 2019 – American Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LI) (OTCQB: LIACF) (Frankfurt: 5LA; )
(“American Lithium” or the “Company”) today extends its interest in the critical battery minerals sector
by signing an agreement with Alaska Nevada Mining to purchase a 100% interest in the Extinction Ridge
Vanadium Project. Pursuant to the agreement, and subject to regulatory approval, the Company will pay
the vendor $100,000 (US$) and issue 250,000 common shares. The claims are subject to a 2% gross royalty
with a 1% buyback for $1,000,000 (US$). With a total of 52 claims, Extinction Ridge is 30 miles north of
Eureka and 55 miles south of Carlin, Nevada, and about 6 west of Highway 278 on a County maintained
road. The Extinction Ridge project lies in the middle of a north -south trend between Cornerstone
Metals Carlin Vanadium project and Prophesy Development's Gibellini Vanadium Project.
Historic sampling* has returned grades of 1.4% V 2O5 over a 9m Section of gray to black mudstone and
shale unit in the Vinini Formation, (Berry, WBN, GSA Annual Meeting 2001). 60 Assays from the Vendor's
sampling of shallow oxidized material returned a range of from trace to 0.72% V2O5, including a 30m long
trench cross -cutting a mineralized zone averages 0.46% V 2O5. This sampling indicates wide spread
occurrence of near surface vanadium mineralization.
*The historic and vendor assays have not been verified by the Company, and readers are cautioned not to
place undue weight on such results. The historical grades are considered relevant; however the reliability,
assumptions, parameters and methods used in preparing the reports are unknown.
Mike Kobler, Chief Executive Officer of American Lithium, stated: “Extinction Ridge is a high -quality
exploration asset that represents another critical metal in today’s energy sector and its location affords
us the ability to conduct exploration programs concurrent with our related operations in Nevada.
Although we have yet to decide the role this asset will play within our longer term asset strategy , its
location, acquisition cost and surface exploration results, presented a decisive project opportunity to be
seized.”
