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 favorabl e 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.
