to update forward -looking statements except as required by applicable securities laws. Investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Cautionary Note Regarding Macusani Concessions Thirty -two of the
151 concessions held by American Lithium’s subsidiary Macusani, are 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 th e 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 Preca utionary 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 Macusan i, 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.
