Company Receives Official Peruvian Judicial Ruling Confirming Title to Disputed Concessions - Five-day appeal process triggered

VANCOUVER, Nov. 16, 2021 - American Lithium Corp. ("American Lithium" or the "Company") (TSX-V:LI | OTCQB:LIACF | Frankfurt:5LA1) was officially notified, early evening on November 15, 2021, of the judicial ruling issued in favour of Macusani Yellowcake S.A.C., the Company's Peruvian subsidiary, in relation to title over 32 disputed concessions out of its 151 concessions in Peru. The Company notes that this notification confirms the judgement previously reported to the Company, and previously announced, and marks the start of a five working day process during which appeals may be lodged by relevant parties.

American Lithium has obtained information, yet to be officially verified, that the judgement will be appealed by the regulatory authorities (typically the case in these proceedings) but has not yet received details or official confirmation. The Company will provide further updates once information has been received through official notification.

As released by the Company on November 3, 2021, the presiding judge's strong and definitive decision restoring the Company's ownership title over the 32 concessions disputed by INGEMMET was announced in Court SALA 6, and issued digitally on the afternoon of November 2, 2021 (Link to: Spanish Ruling here). The Company has obtained a Certified English Translation of the judicial resolution, which is provided through here (Link to: Certified English translation).

Simon Clarke, CEO of American Lithium, stated, "Official receipt of the judicial ruling confirming title to our 32 disputed concessions represents an excellent outcome for the Company and is the right decision following the lengthy judicial process, further delayed by the COVID pandemic. It is typical for Peruvian regulators to appeal judicial decisions as a matter of course, however, the strength of the presiding judge's arguments supporting our maintained ownership to the disputed concessions gives us great comfort that any appeal will be unsuccessful. We look forward to pushing ahead with our in-depth plans for further development and exploration at both the Falchani Lithium and Macusani Uranium projects."

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 represents the final stage of the current judicial process. However, this ruling may be appealed within five business days. American Lithium has no assurance that an appeal is, or is not, forthcoming, nor the potential outcome of such appeals.
