American Lithium (NASDAQ:AMLI) (NASDAQ:AMLI) is a mineral exploration and development company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of lithium-brine projects in key North and South American jurisdictions. Established with the goal of supplying critical battery metals to the rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage markets, the company has assembled a portfolio of projects that leverage both proven geologic settings and innovative extraction technologies. AMLI’s strategic positioning aligns with global initiatives to decarbonize transportation and power generation by securing domestic sources of lithium, a cornerstone component in rechargeable batteries.
The company’s flagship Tonopah Lithium project is located in Nevada’s Clayton Valley, a region renowned for its high-grade lithium brines. AMLI also holds the TLC (Tonopah Lithium Claims) project adjacent to its flagship land package, which offers additional exploration upside within the same hydrogeologic basin. In South America, the Pastos Grandes project in Argentina represents another cornerstone asset, situated within the prolific Lithium Triangle. Through a joint venture structure with local partners, American Lithium is advancing its drilling and resource delineation programs at Pastos Grandes, targeting near-surface brine deposits amenable to cost-efficient extraction.
To enhance recovery rates and environmental performance, American Lithium has entered into a strategic partnership with Lilac Solutions, a pioneering direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology provider. This collaboration aims to accelerate project timelines, reduce water usage, and improve overall operational sustainability across AMLI’s brine assets. In addition, the company has executed offtake framework agreements with leading battery and automotive manufacturers, reinforcing the commercial potential of its future production and demonstrating strong market interest in its lithium spodumene.
Guided by an experienced leadership team, American Lithium is led by Chief Executive Officer Alexi Zawadzki, whose background spans project development in both mining and energy sectors. Chairman John Wisbey brings decades of capital markets and resource-sector experience, while Chief Financial Officer Leslie Russick oversees strategic financing and corporate governance initiatives. Together, the management team is focused on advancing the company’s development-stage assets through resource definition, pilot testing, and feasibility studies, positioning American Lithium to become a key domestic supplier of lithium for the North American battery value chain.
