American Lithium also expects to pay finder's fees to eligible people who introduce the company to qualified investors.

It has planned to use the proceeds to advance exploration and acquisition programmes in Nevada and as general working capital.

American Lithium CEO Michael Kobler said: “Although we are quite disappointed that oversights in our third-party assay lab will result in a lowering of our surface brine sample results, the samples in question are the surface brines taken to provide basic geological information and do not influence our January 2017 drilling campaign into the classic depths targeting the lithium brine aquifers in the North Playa of Fish Lake and Clayton Valley.”

The acquisition is subject to closing conditions, including approval from TSX Venture Exchange.
