Alpha Lithium Corporation
Alpha Lithium Corporation is a mineral exploration company. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, development, and mining of lithium properties throughout Canada.
Eleven Solid Reasons Why Alpha Lithium (APHLF) Could Be the Best Lithium Play For 2022
- Lithium Powers the Green Revolution - By 2025, around 70% of all lithium will be used in electric vehicles (EVs), e-bikes, energy storage, and traditional batteries — making lithium the “uncontested fuel of the green revolution.”[68]
-
Ending China’s Lithium Market Domination – Data from BloombergNEF suggests that, when it comes to the lithium-ion battery supply chain, China controls 80% of lithium raw material refining, 77% of lithium cell capacity, and 60% of lithium component manufacturing globally.[69]
In early 2021, President Biden warned about China’s dominance when it comes to lithium-reliant renewable energy and electric vehicles. “If we don’t get moving, they’re going to eat our lunch,” he said.[70] Getting China out of the driver’s seat when it comes to lithium market domination has become a priority for not only the U.S., but for the E.U. as well.[71] - Increasing Global Lithium Demand – The global lithium market is projected to grow by 500% over the next 35 years[72], and Argentina looks to play a key role in supplying global requirements. The world requires many more lithium mines, with the unprecedented lithium-ion battery demand to fuel electric vehicles, storage systems, and energy-hungry devices.
- Located in a Mining Sweet Spot - With its properties in Tolillar Salar and Hombre Muerto, Alpha Lithium (APHLF) now controls a total of 80,000 acres within the Argentina section of the world-famous (and mining friendly) Lithium Triangle, surrounded by multi-billion dollar lithium assets. According to 2021 data from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Lithium Triangle holds 58% of the world's identified lithium resources.[73]
- Multiple Assets With Proven Lithium - Alpha Lithium's flagship Tolillar Salar project is located in the northwest region of Argentina near the heart of the Lithium Triangle, surrounded by multi-billion dollar lithium producers with decades of active lithium production. Alpha has already produced both Lithium Hydroxide and Lithium Carbonate from the Tolillar Salar, less than 18 months after founding the Company. [74] In addition, Alpha Lithium (APHLF) has recently established the second-largest position in Salta Province in Hombre Muerto, Argentina's best, and one of the world’s most coveted, lithium brine salars. This is primarily due to significantly high average in-situ lithium concentrations, naturally low levels of undesirable impurities, and high permeability and flow rates from producing wells. Nearby Livent has over 20 years of production history from a small number of wells shallower than 100 meters.[75]
- Infrastructure Already in Place - As Argentina’s only major producing salar for more than two decades, extensive infrastructure already exists. This includes international roadways, rail lines, airstrips, natural gas pipelines, electricity distribution, and access to shipping facilities.[76]
- Experienced Management With a Local Team in Place - The management team at Alpha Lithium (APHLF) comprises industry professionals and experienced stakeholders with years of expertise in mining, exploration, and capital markets. This well-connected team employs a proven approach to global lithium mining that primes the company for significant growth. As a result of David Guerrero's in-country presence, knowledge and relationships, Alpha's Argentine team has firmly established the Company as a major property holder in Hombre Muerto, sharing the same salar with multi-billion-dollar companies such as POSCO, Galaxy Resources/Orocobre and Livent Corporation.[77]
- Well-Financed — With a Great Track Record - With a market cap of over $54 million[78], Alpha Lithium (APHLF) is well positioned to aggressively pursue production and growth in the Salta province of Argentina's Lithium Triangle. With their proven skill sets and reputation for speed and efficiency, Alpha has accomplished everything described in this report in only 18 months. This junior mining company has proven its dedication to creating shareholder value.

Juniors Explore, Majors Buy
Alpha Lithium (APHLF) - is surrounded by major players such as Livent, POSCO, Galaxy, and others. Because of that, the potential exists for a buyout to amply reward Alpha Lithium's early investors.* As an example, Millennial Lithium Corp, has recently gotten into a bidding war with several "suitors" and offered $300 million (USD) for their assets.[79] Another "neighbor," Lithium X, was sold for $209 million (USD) in 2018.[80] - EV Megatrend Accelerates With Commercial and Luxury Vehicles - After holding their noses at under-powered lithium batteries, Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, and other automakers have developed cutting edge motors that turn their EVs into high-performance rockets. These new motors need big batteries that use hundreds of pounds of lithium. In addition, companies such as Amazon, Daimler Trucks, and Volvo Trucks are stepping up adoption of commercial electric vehicles.[81]
- Energy Storage Trend Relies on Lithium - Lithium-filled batteries are being used more and more in both commercial and residential energy storage systems to help shore up failing power grids and balance out electricity during peak times. The battery energy storage system market is predicted to grow from $2.9 billion in 2020 to $12.1 billion by 2025.[82] I don’t see this “green revolution” trend stopping or slowing anytime soon.

Mineral exploration and development are highly speculative and are characterized by a number of significant inherent risks, which may result in the inability to successfully develop our projects for commercial, technical, political, regulatory or financial reasons, or if successfully developed, may not remain economically viable for their mine life owing to any of the foregoing reasons. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of operations.
The Company’s ability to identify Mineral Resources in sufficient quantity and quality to justify development activities and/or its ability to commence and complete development work and/or commence and/or sustain commercial production operations at any of its projects will depend upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond its control, including exploration success, the obtaining of funding for all phases of exploration, development and commercial mining, the adequacy of infrastructure, geological characteristics, metallurgical characteristics of any deposit, the availability of processing technology and capacity, the availability of storage capacity, the supply of and demand for silver and other metals, the availability of equipment and facilities necessary to commence and complete development, the cost of consumables and mining and processing equipment, technological and engineering problems, accidents or acts of sabotage or terrorism, civil unrest and protests, currency fluctuations, changes in regulations, the availability of water, the availability and productivity of skilled labour, the receipt of necessary consents, permits and licenses (including mining licenses), and political factors, including unexpected changes in governments or governmental policies towards exploration, development and commercial mining activities.
Furthermore, cost over-runs or unexpected changes in commodity prices in any future development could make the projects uneconomic, even if previously determined to be economic under feasibility studies. Accordingly, notwithstanding the positive results of one or more feasibility studies on the projects, there is a risk that the Company would be unable to complete development and commence commercial mining operations at one or more of the mineral properties which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
For a more comprehensive overview of the risks related to the Company’s business, please review the Company’s continuous disclosure documents, including the section titled ‘Risk Factors’ in the Company’s current Annual Information Form, each filed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
