The purpose of the meeting during the 76 ^th session of the United Nations General Assembly summit in New York was to discuss Peru's ongoing commitment to its mining sector and its emergence as a potential Latin American leader in the supply of battery / clean energy metals for a greener planet.

During the United Nations' conference, over 100 global leaders are meeting to discuss the world's most pressing geopolitical issues, including the heightened urgency to advance sustainable energy initiatives along an expedited timeline.

Following the meeting with President Castillo, Mr. Clarke reported having a highly constructive initial dialogue with a focus on American Lithium's future plans to sustainably develop world-class lithium and uranium assets in Peru.

President Pedro Castillo commented, "it was a pleasure to meet the team from American Lithium and our discussions to date have been very positive. As I have commented in recent times, we remain committed to the economy of Peru in general and, in particular, the mining sector with no plans for nationalization or expropriation. We are highly supportive of the work that American Lithium is doing and believe that Peru is very well positioned to become a global leader in the supply of metals for the new energy paradigm. We also welcome foreign investment into Peru with clear rules that protect the people, and the environment and which promotes the economic development of the region and the country."

Mr. Clarke commented, "On behalf of our shareholders, I would like to thank President Castillo for taking the time to meet with me and my colleagues for what proved to be a very enjoyable and encouraging discussion. Clearly, President Castillo is deeply committed to the development of Peru including the mining sector and in seeing Peru become a world leader in the timely innovation of green energy solutions. To this end, American Lithium is similarly committed to playing a meaningful role in the realization of this inspiring and economically-empowering mandate. Specifically, we will be launching the next phase of drilling and development at both the Falchani Project and the Macusani Project as soon as practical."

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 the 32 of the concessions invalid due to late receipt of the annual validity payment.  Macusani successfully applied for injunctive relief on 32 concessions in a Court in Lima, Peru, and the grant of the Precautionary Measures (Medida Cautelar) has restored the title, rights and validity of those 32 concessions to Macusani until a final decision is obtained in at the last stage of the judicial process. If American Lithium's subsidiary Macusani does not obtain a successful resolution of Processes, Macusani's title to the concessions could be revoked.
