the current opinions and expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information
available at the time, undue reliance should not be placed on
forward-looking statements since American Lithium can provide no
assurance that such opinions and expectations will prove to be

uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent and
manner to which measures taken by governments and their agencies,
American Lithium or others to attempt to reduce the spread of
COVID-19 could affect American Lithium, which could have a material
adverse impact on many aspects of American Lithium’s businesses
including but not limited to: the ability to access mineral
properties for indeterminate amounts of time, the health of the
employees or consultants resulting in delays or diminished
capacity, social or political instability in Peru which in turn
could impact American Lithium’s ability to maintain the continuity
of its business operating requirements, may result in the reduced
availability or failures of various local administration and
critical infrastructure, reduced demand for the American Lithium’s
potential products, availability of materials, global travel
restrictions, and the availability of insurance and the associated
costs; the judicial appeal process in Peru, and any and all future
remedies pursued by American Lithium and its subsidiary Macusani to
resolve the title for 32 of its concessions; risks regarding the
ongoing Ontario Securities Commission regulatory proceedings; the
ongoing ability to work cooperatively with stakeholders, including
but not limited to local communities and all levels of government;
the potential for delays in exploration or development activities
due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the interpretation of drill results,
the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the
possibility that any future exploration, development or mining
results will not be consistent with our expectations; risks that
permits will not be obtained as planned or delays in obtaining
permits; mining and development risks, including risks related to
accidents, equipment breakdowns, labour disputes (including work
stoppages, strikes and loss of personnel) or other unanticipated
difficulties with or interruptions in exploration and development;
risks related to commodity price and foreign exchange rate
fluctuations; risks related to foreign operations; the cyclical
nature of the industry in which American Lithium operates; risks
related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis
and on acceptable terms or delays in obtaining governmental
approvals; risks related to environmental regulation and liability;
political and regulatory risks associated with mining and
exploration; risks related to the uncertain global economic
environment and the effects upon the global market generally, and
due to the COVID-19 pandemic measures taken to reduce the spread of
COVID-19, any of which could continue to negatively affect global
financial markets, including the trading price of American
Lithium’s shares and could negatively affect American Lithium’s
ability to raise capital and may also result in additional and
unknown risks or liabilities to American Lithium. Other risks and
uncertainties related to prospects, properties and business
strategy of American Lithium are identified in the “Risk Factors”
section of American Lithium’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis
filed on June 28, 2022, and in recent securities filings available

from those projected in the forward-looking statements. American
Lithium undertakes no obligation 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 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.
