15 Dezember 2023 - 1:00PM
American Lithium Corp. (“American Lithium” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V:LI | Nasdaq:AMLI | Frankfurt:5LA1) is pleased to announce it
has filed the independent National Instrument 43-101 Technical
Report on the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the
Falchani Lithium Project (“Falchani”) located in Southwestern Peru
and as announced on October 31, 2023. The MRE and Technical Report
were completed by Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (“Stantec”),
which established a much larger lithium resource base which will
form the basis of an updated preliminary economic assessment on the
Falchani (“PEA”). The MRE has been incorporated into the Mine Plan
within the PEA, which is currently being finalized by DRA Global
and will be announced shortly.
Key Highlights of Technical
Report
- Measured +
Indicated Resource (“M&I”) increases 476% from previous 2019
MRE;
- Measured
Resource – 1.01 Million Tonnes (“Mt”) Lithium Carbonate Equivalent
(“LCE”) (69 Mt @ 2,792 parts per million (“ppm”) Lithium
(“Li”));
- Indicated
Resource – 4.52 Mt LCE (378 Mt @ 2,251 ppm Li);
- M&I Resource
– 5.53 Mt LCE (447 Mt @ 2,327 ppm Li);
- Inferred
Resource – 3.99 Mt LCE (506 Mt @ 1,481 ppm Li);
- Base Case
cut-off has been lowered to 600 ppm Li from previous 1,000 ppm
cutoff based on strong project economics specifically updated
operating costs and $20,000/tonne LC selling price;
- At 1,000 ppm
cut-off, also used in previous MRE. the updated M&I Resource is
5.32 Mt LCE versus 0.96 Mt LCE from previous March 2019 MRE – an
increase of 455%; and
- Increased size
and grade of resource supports long production potential at
Falchani.
Simon Clarke, CEO of American Lithium,
states, “We continue to make excellent progress at
Falchani and this very large increase and reclassification of the
Falchani Resource follows a very successful drill program completed
Q3, 2023. With the Deposit still open in numerous directions, we
expect the scale of the Project and the size of the Resource to
continue to grow. The increase in resource feeds directly into the
updated PEA on Falchani, which is currently being finalized and
will be released shortly, and into the ongoing Pre-Feasibility
Study.”
