New Interim Leadership
Alex Tsakumis, who has been part of the Board of Directors since 2022, will take over as Interim CEO.

Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Rule
In related news, the Company has submitted a request for an additional 180-day extension from Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, which mandates that a stock price must reach at least $1.00. This application follows an earlier announcement made on March 13, 2024. If granted, this extension will not have any immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq, allowing shares to continue trading during this period.
Understanding the Minimum Bid Price Rule
The Minimum Bid Price Rule, as outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), is essential for companies because it ensures that their stock maintains a minimum trading price. By securing this extension, American Lithium can work towards fulfilling this requirement without facing immediate risks to its listing.
Exploration Projects and Commitment to Lithium Development
American Lithium is actively engaged in developing large-scale lithium projects across key locations in the Americas. The Company is focused on supporting the transition to a new energy paradigm, particularly through the strategically positioned TLC lithium project in a mineral-rich area of Nevada. Additionally, it is advancing the Falchani lithium and Macusani uranium projects located in southeastern Peru.
Project Insights and Economic Potential
All three projects—TLC, Falchani, and Macusani—have undergone thorough preliminary economic assessments. These assessments highlight not only strong potential for growth but also significant backing from local communities. The strategic development of these projects positions American Lithium advantageously as the demand for lithium and related minerals continues to surge in response to the global shift towards renewable energy sources.
