AMERICAN SALARS ARRANGES PRIVATE PLACEMENT

American Salars Lithium Inc. has arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $2-million. The private placement will consist of up to 10 million units at a price of 20 cents per unit. Each unit comprised one common share and one-half a transferable common share purchase warrant. Each two half warrants entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 12 months at a price of 25 cents per share.

The company will use the proceeds from the financing for exploration and development work at its portfolio of exploration assets including the recently proposed production diameter well program and project costs at the Candela II lithium brine project, awareness and general working capital. All securities issued will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period from the date of issuance pursuant to applicable securities legislation. In addition, the half warrants and shall contain certain provisions such that the holder shall only be entitled to exercise such warrants to the extent that the holder will own (together with any person acting jointly or in concert with the holder), directly or indirectly, less than 10 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company immediately following such exercise.

The Candela II lithium brine project contains a National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate (MRE) completed by WSP Australia Pty. Ltd. This National Instrument 43-101 resource report estimates the project to contain lithium metal of 86,000 tonnes which equates to 457,500 tonnes of in situ lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). According to SunSirs Commodity Data Group, lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) spot prices increased to CNY 118,350 yuan or $20,949 per tonne up about 20 per cent in 2024.

Mineral resource estimate (MRE)

The MRE for the Candela II lithium project is reported in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and has been estimated in conformity with generally accepted Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum estimation of mineral resource and mineral reserves best practices guidelines. The effective date of the MRE is Sept. 18, 2023. Average specific yield values, per domain, were applied to the total metal tonnages to obtain the yield from the available brine. The LCE is calculated from the ratio of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) to Li (5.32:1). The calculations assume no process losses.

The mineral resources presented herein are not mineral reserves, and do not reflect demonstrated economic viability. The reported inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into a mineral reserve. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates, and totals may not add correctly.
