Cautionary Note Regarding Macusani Concessions

Thirty-two of the 169 concessions held by American Lithium’s subsidiary Macusani, a re currently subject

to Administrative and Judicial processes (together, the “Processes”) in Peru to overturn resolutions issued

by INGEMMET and the Mining Council of MINEM in February 2019 and July 2019, respectively, which

declared Macusani’s title to 32 of the concessions invalid due to late receipt of the annual validity

payments. In November 2019, Macusani applied for injunctive relief on 32 concessions in a Court in Lima,

Peru and was successful in obtaining such an injunction on 17 of the concessions including three of the

four concessions included in the Macusani Uranium Project PEA. The grant of the Precautionary Measure

(Medida Cautelar) has restored the title, rights and validity of those 17 concessions to Macusani until a

final decision is obtained at the last stage of the judicial process. A Precautionary Measure application was

made at the same time for the remaining 15 concessions and was ultimately granted by a Court in Lima,

Peru on March 2, 2021 which has also restored the title, rights and validity of those 15 remaining

concessions to Macusani, with the result being that all 32 concessions are now protected by Precautionary

Measure (Medida Cautelar) until a final decision on this matter is obtained at the last stage of the judicial

process. The favourable judge’s ruling confirming title to all 32 concessions from November 3, 2021

represents the final stage of the current judicial process. However, this ruling has recently been appealed

by MINEM and INGEMMET. American Lithium has no assurance that the outcome of these appeals will be

in the Company’s favour..
