“It makes me feel good, but I don’t spend every day watching the stock price,” Chief Executive Officer Simon Clarke, 57, said in a Tuesday interview at Bloomberg’s Toronto bureau. “We are trying to move forward and advance two very large development-stage projects.”
Clarke credits the stock bump to landing a Nasdaq listing this month and upbeat investor reaction on company plans to soon release more details of its TLC project in Nevada. The Vancouver-based explorer is developing projects in Peru and Nevada as demand for lithium soars. The CEO said he sees plenty of “positives” for the industry, driven by ongoing demand for battery metals and electric vehicles, that should bode well for American Lithium.
“As long as that happens and we continue to advance these projects and hit some milestones, I think we’ll do well,” he said.
