Grande Plata Showing Strong Silver Results
Rhea-AI Summary
American Lithium Minerals (OTC: AMLM) provided an update on the Grande Plata silver project and its transaction with Aeramentum Resources (AEN) on Jan 27, 2026. AEN is working to complete the ratified contract for Grande Plata, a deal negotiated when silver was ~$33/oz versus >$100/oz today.
November 2025 reconnaissance sampling returned high-grade results across a >7.5 km strike, including samples exceeding 681 g/t Ag and 6.67% Cu. Historic trenching and channel sampling cited surface mineralisation with intercepts such as 6m @ 407 g/t Ag, 2.94% Cu, 0.72 g/t Au and channel results up to 1 m @ 1,550 g/t Ag, 2.91% Cu. Mapping, trenching, road upgrades and drill-pad preparation are planned ahead of diamond drilling targeted for March 2026.
Positive
- Reconnaissance sample up to 681 g/t Ag
- Reconnaissance sample up to 6.67% Cu
- Historic trench: 6m @ 407 g/t Ag, 2.94% Cu, 0.72 g/t Au
- Planned diamond drilling targeted for March 2026
Negative
- Transaction completion remains pending as AEN works to finalise the contract
- Surface sampling is reconnaissance-stage; resource continuity not yet established
Update on Chile Project
- Ratification of Grande Plata Silver Project Deal: AEN is working to complete the contract with AMLM. The deal was originally negotiated and completed when the silver price was
/oz compared to more than$33 US /oz today.$100 - Further high-grade silver from sampling at Grande Plata: The AEN geologists were on-site at Grande Plata in November 2025, conducting sampling and reconnaissance. In line with similar grades achieved across the >7.5km strike of exposed Ag-Cu-Au veins, recent sampling returned encouraging grades in a number of locations exceeding 680gt Ag and
3% Cu (see summary table below). - Ahead of planned diamond drilling in March, mapping and trenching is planned, along with upgrading the roads and drill pads to ensure the site is prepared for the drilling program.

Sample | Prospect | Sample Type | Au | Ag | Cu (%) | Mo (g/t) | Comments |
20011501 | Calabozo | Copper oxides- | 0.02 | 39 | 0.42 % | 2.9 | Moderate grade |
20011502 | Calabozo | Limonite with copper | 0.43 | 681 | 0.68 % | 20 | High grade silver |
20011503 | Cumbre | Copper oxides- | 0.36 | 341 | 3.30 % | 20.6 | High grade Cu, Ag |
20011504 | San Jose | Copper oxides- | 0.01 | 2 | 2.02 % | 2.0 | High grade Cu, low |
20011505 | San Jose | Copper oxides- | 0.42 | 421 | 0.18 % | 217 | Relatively high Mo |
20011506 | San Jose | Limonites with copper | 0.070 | 600 | 6.67 % | 16.3 | High grade silver |
A review of geological reports continues to provide encouragement, with the potential for broad, moderate to high grade intersections based on surface mapping and past trenching results which show an altered dacitic tuff unit, which hosts the mineralised veins, up to 100m wide in some locations such as Calabozo. Mineralisation is from surface (refer to Figure 2) with previous trenching results including:
- 6m @ 407g/t Ag,
2.94% Cu, 0.72g/t Au (Calabozo, Figure 3a, b) - 6m @ 199g/t Ag,
1.44% Cu, 0.36g/t Au (Calabozo, Figure 3a)
As part of the preparation for drilling at the Silverado Prospect, previous tenement rights holders (2020-2022) Rugby Mining conducted some channel sampling with results including:
- Section 6657120N: 2.5 m @ 135 g/t Ag, 0.64 % Cu, 0.14 g/t Au and 5.80 % Pb
- Section 6657120N: 1.5 m @ 591 g/t Ag, 2.47 % Cu, 0.10 g/t Au and 4.95 % Pb
- Section 6657152N: 1 m @ 1,550 g/t Ag 2.91 % Cu, 0.51 g/t Au and 6.32 % Pb
