2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMERICAN SALARS LITHIUM INC ("AMERICAN SALARS" OR THE "COMPANY") (CSE: USLI WKN: A3E2NY) announces that it has entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of 1447377 BC Ltd (the “Vendor”) that holds a 100% interest in a highly prospective 18,083 Hectares (180 sq km) Hardrock LCT (“Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum”) Pegmatite Project including Rare Earth Elements (“REE”) and a suite of Critical Minerals (the “Jaguaribe Project”) The Jaguaribe Project is located in the Jaguaribe/Solonópole region in the State of Ceará in Northern Brazil and hosts multiple extensive Lithium and REE bearing pegmatite dykes that have returned initial sample discoveries of up to 3.72% Li2O 2.15% Li2O and 1.58% Li2O as well as 554.5 ppm of Cesium One sample showed high values for Rubidium (>10,000ppm); Tin (675 ppm) and Zinc (387ppm) CEO of the Company is a director and indirect shareholder of the Vendor See “MI 61-101 Disclosure – Acquisition” below “We continue to add highly prospective assets to our portfolio of lithium projects in North and South America Brazil has been one of the global epicenters for lithium production and American Salars’ Jaguaribe project is located in a known pegmatite district and contains high-grade lithium samples and significant Rare Earth Elements values We will plan a much more significant exploration program to map pegmatites and further sample and define the geological values in this critical mineral rich area.” The initial phase 1 exploration program revealed multiple long and wide pegmatite dykes that measure up to 30 meters in width and up to 300 meters in length that are largely unexplored a Brazil focussed senior geologist and Quebec based Hardrock lithium specialist QP Mitch Lavery to oversee a more extensive Phase 2 work program to map the pegmatite outcrops and extensively sample new and known areas of mineralization The Company is in the process of engaging sampling crews and is working with local Brazil based geological consultants to help plan a follow up drilling program to evaluate the priority targets Figure 1.

Location of the Pegmatite Districts of Ceará, Brazil.Please click to view image Multi-element analyses were carried out at the SGS laboratory for 58 elements including REE from 12 samples from the Jaguaribe Project These samples were analyzed by the ICM90A method: determination with fusion in sodium peroxide-ICP OES/ICP MS Geochemistry of the samples of Pegmatites from the Jaguaribe Project area were compared with the standard sample or standard analysis provided by the SGS laboratory with the common elements and their contents in a LCT-type Pegmatite (Lithium The pegmatite from the VM-R-01 Pegmatite sample which contained Lepidolite and a content of 1.54% Li2O shows a strong geochemical correlation with the standard sample the latter being much higher (135 ppm Ta) than the Ta content of the SGS standard sample (18 ppm Ta) The VM-R-1 sample also shows a correlation with the SGS standard Other pegmatite samples from the Jaguaribe Project are iron enriched and present less marked correlations in relation to the contents of the standard sample only in the elements Li although they show anomalous geochemical values of Cs The results of the VM-R-8 and VM-R-10 analyses show a good correlation with the results of the SGS standard sample This sharp drop in the Li levels of these samples is mainly due to the leaching of Li minerals by surface waters a phenomenon observed in most of the pegmatites in the region whose Li levels increase substantially in the subsurface in mining pits in the companies' research excavations and mainly in drill holes The Company will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of 1447377 BC Ltd (the “1447377 Shares”) by issuing 3,500,000 units of the Company (“American Salars Units”) to the shareholders of 1447377 BC Ltd The American

JazzRadio Berlin recently welcomed a distinguished guest to its Diplomatic Lounge show hosted by the renowned radio and TV presenter Leslie Nachmann Brazilian Ambassador Roberto Jaguaribe took to the airwaves to discuss a wide range of topics from international politics and football to the protection of Brazilian forests and Ambassador Jaguaribe emphasized the importance of a dual approach to conserving the Amazon rainforest He highlighted the need for both repression of illegal activities and the development of legitimate means of income for the 50 million people living in the Amazon region “We are striving for zero deforestation,” Jaguaribe said noting a 48% reduction in illegal activities this year alone The conversation naturally flowed into the realm of music a subject close to the hearts of both Brazilians and Berliners program airing every Saturday from 12 to 18 PM featuring an excellent selection of Brazilian music and Latin Jazz the partnership between the station and the Brazilian Embassy has been a fruitful one Jaguaribe spoke passionately about Brazil’s rich musical heritage He also praised Brazilian composer Villa-Lobos who drew inspiration from the Amazon’s indigenous sounds As a member of the BRICS group of nations—Brazil and South Africa—Brazil is increasingly influential on the world stage Jaguaribe stressed the need for a more equitable global governance system one that includes diverse perspectives rather than just those of like-minded countries The ambassador also touched on his role as the president of the group of Ambassadors of Latin America and the Caribbean He spoke of an upcoming cultural event with the Arab diplomatic Corps emphasizing the significant Arab immigration to Latin America and it’s going to be a good opportunity to pick up on what they have on this occasion,” he said Jaguaribe chose a song that resonated with both Brazilian and German audiences He selected a recording by Marlene Dietrich drawing parallels to the German song “Lili Marlene.” In a world where diplomacy often takes place behind closed doors Ambassador Jaguaribe’s candid conversation with Leslie Nachmann offered a refreshing glimpse into the complexities and nuances of international relations all set to the soothing backdrop of the Ambassador’s musical selections Durch die weitere Nutzung der Website stimmen Sie der Verwendung von Cookies zu. mehr Informationen Akzeptieren Die Cookie-Einstellungen auf dieser Website sind so eingestellt um Ihnen das bestmögliche Surferlebnis zu bieten oder wenn Sie unten auf "Akzeptieren" klicken Schließen The ad-free version is ready for purchase on iOS mobile app today we couldn't find that page";var n=e.querySelector("h2");return n&&n.remove(),{staticContent:e,title:t}},d=function(e){var t=document.createElement("button");return t.innerText=e,t.classList.add("error-page-button"),t},f=function(e){var t=document.createElement("div");t.id="recirculation-404",t.classList.add("brand-hint-bg");var n="\n \n \n \n \n \n '.concat(e,' Tick here if you would like us to send you the author’s response
