VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Lithium Corporation (NEO: ALLI) (OTC: APHLF) (Germany WKN: A3CUW1) (“Alpha” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has filed an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate in respect of the Company’s Tolillar Salar with an effective date of August 8, 2023 (the “Resource Estimate”), on SEDAR. The full report is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com and will be available on its website at www.alphalithium.com.

One week after announcing its inaugural Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) with an after tax NPV of US$1.5 billion, Alpha increased the “indicated resource” by 70% to 3.6 million tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (“LCE”) and increased their “inferred resource” by 20% to 1.4 million tonnes of LCE. A link to the significantly improved Resource Estimate July 17, 2023, news release can be found on the Company’s website www.alphalithium.com/news.

Alpha’s updated Resource Estimate was utilized to prepare Alpha’s second PEA (see August 14, 2023, news release), in as many months.

Tolillar Salar represents one of the last, large, independent, wholly owned lithium brine salars in the world, and after incorporating the latest technical data from this Resource Estimate, Tolillar has become an even larger and longer-lived operation.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF ALPHA LITHIUM CORPORATION
