Canadian junior American Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LI) is expanding its footprint into the critical battery metals sector by agreeing to buy Alaska Nevada Mining’s 100% interest in the Extinction Ridge vanadium project in Nevada, USA.
The Vancouver-based miner, which is currently exploring and developing two lithium projects in Nevada, said Extinction Ridge was a “high-quality” exploration asset whose location would allow American lithium to conduct exploration programs concurrent with its operations in the area.
“Although we have yet to decide the role this asset will play within our longer term asset strategy, its location, acquisition cost and surface exploration results, presented a decisive project opportunity to be seized,” chief executive Mike Kobler said in a statement.
