American Lithium is Unaware of Any Material Change

VANCOUVER, Sept. 22, 2017 /CNW/ - American Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LI) (OTCQB: LIACF) (Frankfurt: 5LA; WKN: A2AHEL) ("American Lithium" or the "Company").  At the request of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, the Company confirms that its management is unaware of any material change in the operations of the Company which would account for the recent increase in market activity.

At present, the Company has a negative working capital position, and available cash reserves of less than $40,000.  While the Company is current in respect of holding costs for the Fish Lake Lithium project, it is unable to advance any exploration work until such time as the Company's financial condition is improved.  Management is actively looking for financing opportunities to bring the Company into a positive working capital position, and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
