American Lithium Corp. (TSX-V:LI) has announced the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Falchani Lithium project in Puno, Peru. The outcome reveals a remarkable surge in the project’s After-tax Net Present Value (NPV8%) to US$5.11 billion, coupled with a robust Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 32.0%. A low-cost operation with operating expenditures (Opex) anticipated at $5,093 per tonne of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) positions Falchani among the next-tier lithium projects globally.
