Alpha Lithium Corporation (TSX.V: ALLI) (OTC: ALLIF)
(Frankfurt: 2P62) (“
Alpha” or the
“
Company”), sole owner of one of the last large,
undeveloped salars in Argentina’s Lithium Triangle, is pleased to
provide a one-year anniversary summary of accomplishments, from the
desk of the CEO:
Dear Shareholders,
In less than one year, we have rapidly evolved
from a startup to becoming one of the top Argentine lithium
developers with a $35 million treasury.
Alpha essentially began by closing a $2 million
private placement at $0.25/unit (March 5th, 2020), preceded by
changing our year end from October 31 to December 31 (December 19th
2019), launching our website (July 28th, 2019) and changing our
name from Voltaic Minerals to Alpha Lithium Corporation (July 5th,
2019).
The Company’s foremost milestone and
inauguration of the business activities occurred with the purchase
of the Tolillar Salar on March 9th, 2020. We acquired 27,500
hectares – a 100% ownership position in a massive, prime,
lithium-bearing property in Argentina’s famed Lithium Triangle.
With that, we undertook exploration of the property with a focus on
production (not just “exploration”) from inception. The hiring of
David Guerrero on April 8th, 2020 to manage all operations
in-country was the first of many important steps forward. Less than
a month into the global COVID crisis, David became the essential
eyes, ears and hands of the Company in Argentina. His background
and experience have proven invaluable, allowing us to continue
operating faultlessly since his first day on the job.
On May 5th, 2020, we commenced an exhaustive
review of more than seven years of data and records from previous
exploration attempts on the Tolillar Salar. We identified
shortcomings and learned from these historical endeavours, enabling
us to plot our near-term efforts more accurately. Results from the
data interpretation propelled the initiation of a modern geophysics
program on May 14th, 2020 designed to augment the existing
geophysics data. The geophysical field work wrapped up on June 9th,
2020, and represented the very first acquisition of our own
proprietary technical data in Tolillar.
We subsequently announced a $3.7 million
financing on June 19th, 2020, at $0.37/unit, representing a 48%
premium over the previous financing which we closed on July 14th,
2020. Two days later, on July 16th, 2020, we were very pleased to
announce the results from our geophysics data collection and
analysis. We shot new seismic, overlayed that with the existing
seismic data, and determined that we may have discovered something
new to the south; and so, we set out to perform a second round of
geophysics in the previously unexplored southern extension of the
salar.
On July 23, 2020, we were thrilled to announce a
relatively rare bought deal financing to raise $5 million at
$0.65/unit, representing a 76% premium to the previous financing
price. We eventually raised $5.75 million in the oversubscribed
financing.
On August 26th, 2020 we started shooting the
second round of geophysics, targeting the southern portion of the
salar. We concluded the data accrual in early October and as of
October 28th, 2020, we had completed the design for the initial
drilling program. On November 10th, 2020, after reviewing the data
from the second round of geophysics, we gained the confidence to
expand the drilling program into the southern portion of the salar
and mobilized a drilling rig in December. On November 18th, 2020 we
were very pleased to sign an agreement with the world-renowned
principals of Beyond Lithium SA to work in-house with us to help
design and implement the world’s most advanced Direct Lithium
Extraction (“DLE”) process for the Tolillar Salar. We were
subsequently extremely proud, on December 1st, 2020, to mobilize
the drilling rig and kick-off our inaugural drilling program.
January 2021 was an historic month for the
Company. On January 25th, 2021, we announced a second bought deal,
intending to raise $10 million at $0.81/unit, which was a 25%
premium to the previous financing price. The next day, on January
26th, 2021, we added a second drilling rig to accelerate our
drilling program. The demand for our shares was unprecedented and
we ultimately increased the initial bought deal offering and closed
it with proceeds of $23 million on February 19th, 2021. With this
second bought deal, we added more than a dozen of the world’s
largest mining institutional investors to our shareholder base. The
financing resulted in a cash balance of approximately $35 million
in our treasury and an accelerated all operations, including
drilling, data analysis and progress towards a DLE process.
Below are a few highlights from the last twelve
months:
- Commitment to ongoing disclosure
and transparency reflected by almost three dozen press releases
to-date.
- Corporate and investor relations
respond to hundreds of inquiries (phone and email).
- Added a world-class country manager
and a team of recognized leading chemists to the team.
- Shot two rounds of seismic and
initiated a three-phase drilling program.
- Raised $31.7 million at
consecutively higher prices.
- Welcomed 50,000 unique visitors to
our website; more than 165,000 Twitter/Facebook visitors; and,
almost 3,000 individuals subscribed to receive our newsletter.
- Achieved a 17x increase in our
shareholder base to over 15,000 shareholders today.
- Our shares have been subject to a
total of 220,000 individual trades in North America alone, for a
total volume of 372,973,000 shares traded.
- Total value of shares traded in
Canada in one year was CDN$152 million and in the United States was
US$110 million.
- The Canadian team traveled a total
of zero miles outside of Canada.
- David Guerrero traveled a total of
24,900 km (15,500 miles) within Argentina.
- Lost a total of zero days due to
COVID related illnesses or delays.
- Laid off a total of zero people due
to COVID.
It is truly clear to us that none of the above
would have been achieved without the support of our greatest team
members – our shareholders. What Alpha Lithium has achieved in one
year, during the challenges and restrictions of a global pandemic
is truly remarkable and we are all extremely proud of our team and
our accomplishments. We believe the best part of our Company’s
short history is still yet to be written and we look forward to
authoring the future chapters.
A very sincere thank you,
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF ALPHA LITHIUM
