Acquisition of Concessions in Southern Peru

The Company, through its Peruvian subsidiary, Macusani Yellowcake S.A.C., has entered into a mining rights transfer agreement (the " Transfer Agreement ") with an arms-length third-party, pursuant to which it will acquire the rights to a series of mining concessions (the " Concessions ") covering approximately 14,243 hectares in Southern Peru. The Concessions are highly prospective and will further broaden the Company's existing asset base and operations in Peru.

In consideration for the Concessions, the Company has agreed to pay US$400,000 and to issue 2,250,000 common shares (the " Consideration Shares ") to the vendor. Completion of the transaction contemplated by the Transfer Agreement remains subject to completion of applicable transfer registrations in Peru and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All Consideration Shares issued to the vendor will be subject to restrictions on resale for a period of four-months-and-one-day in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Simon Clarke, CEO of American Lithium, stated, "We are very pleased to be able to add these large, highly prospective concessions, close to the areas where we have generated some of the best exploration results to date."

Public Relations Update

The Company has retained the services of New York-based Vorticom Inc. (" Vorticom ") to perform high-impact Public Relations services in the United States. Vorticom is a New York-based, award-winning public relations firm that specializes in generating strategic media placements for its corporate clients.

The agreement entered into with Vorticom is effective as of June 01, 2022, (the " Vorticom   Agreement ") and Vorticom will receive consideration of US$10,000 per month for a 12-month term. The Company has also agreed to grant 100,000 incentive stock options (the " Options ") to Vorticom, which have a term of 5 years and are exercisable at a price of $2.74 per common share. The Options will vest over a period of 12 months, with 25% of such Options vesting every quarter following their issuance, beginning three months from the date hereof.

The Vorticom Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Marketing Update

American Lithium has also engaged Ptolemy Capital Limited ("Ptolemy"), trading as Crux Investor (" Crux "), to provide content creation, distribution and dissemination services to the Company, as defined in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture exchange and applicable securities laws.

Pursuant to the agreement entered into with Crux, which is effective as of June 01, 2022 (the " Crux   Agreement "), Crux will receive consideration of US$3,650/month, payable quarterly in advance, for an initial 3-month term which may be extended for additional 3-month periods.

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 Macusani's title to all 32 concessions from November 3, 2021 represents the final stage of the current judicial process. However, this ruling has been appealed by MINEM and INGEMMET. American Lithium has no assurance that the outcome of these appeals will be in the Company's favour.

VIDEO: Altech Batteries Ltd Silumina Anodes Project Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC) (FRA:A3Y) (OTCMKTS:ALTHF) is pleased to provide an update of the Silumina AnodesTM Project. This Company's game changing technology incorporates high-capacity silicon into lithium-ion batteries. Through in house R&D, the Company has cracked the "silicon code" and successfully achieved a 30% higher energy battery with improved cyclability or battery life. The Company's proprietary silicon product is registered as Silumina AnodesTM.

Highlights

- Spherisation of coated silicon particles- newest technological development

- Positioned in voids of graphite layer - further reducing impact of swelling

- Optimised 5% silicon content gives 50% capacity increase

- Pilot plant in Germany now operational

- All challenges resolved and ready for customer testing

SPHERISATION OF COATED SILICON

As previously noted, key challenges in using silicon in lithium-ion battery anodes include particle swelling, first-cycle capacity loss of up to 50%, and rapid battery degradation. Altech's initial approach involved coating individual silicon particles with a nanolayer of alumina to reduce expansion and mitigate first-cycle loss. This method proved effective. Building on this success, the next phase of development involved spherifying the coated silicon particles and applying additional coatings to the spherical structures (refer Figure 1*). These spherical, alumina-coated silicon particles can be effectively distributed within the voids of graphite, helping to minimise long-term damage to the electrode layer caused by expansion (refer Figure 2*). By residing in these voids, the particles can move without exerting stress on the surrounding graphite sheets. Additionally, the Company's R&D laboratory has optimised silicon content to a 5% addition, which has delivered a 50% capacity performance improvement in battery applications. The improvement in battery anode capacity can be seen in Figure 3 and 4*.

SUCCESSFUL PILOT PLANT OPERATION

Altech is in a race to get its patented technology to market. To support the development, Altech constructed a pilot plant adjacent to the proposed project site to enable the qualification process for its Silumina AnodesTM product. Coated silicon products are now being successfully produced at the Company's pilot plant located at Dock 3 in Saxony, Germany. The commissioning process presented a number of technical challenges, primarily related to the equipment delivery delays, supply of SiC materials, poor flowability and handling difficulties of the ultra-fine silicon powders used in the process - particles measuring less than one micron in size. These powders tended to cause hang-ups and blockages within the system, complicating consistent material movement and process stability. However, through a combination of engineering adjustments and process optimisations, these issues have now been resolved. The pilot plant is now operational and has produced high-quality coated silicon particles. These products are ready for evaluation and testing by potential customers, marking a key milestone in the commercialisation pathway.

Group Managing Director Iggy Tan said "The next generation of our development, leveraging spherization technology, has successfully addressed the long-standing challenges of silicon-namely swelling and rapid degradation. We've achieved a battery with 50% higher energy density and enhanced cycle life, all with a modest addition of silicon. Our proprietary alumina-coated, spherical silicon particles represent a breakthrough in battery anode materials. Production at our pilot plant in Saxony marks a significant milestone, and we are actively engaging with potential customers for evaluation. This progress places Altech at the forefront of next-generation battery technology as we move toward commercialisation."
