Re: American Lithium Minerals Inc. Restated Investment Agreement.

Whereas American Lithium Minerals Inc. ("AMLM") and BG Capital Group Ltd. ("BG Capital")have entered into an Investment Agreement dated August 9. 2011(the “Investment Agreement”); and whereas, further to our recent discussions and in light of the current financial issues faced by to the Corporation, we wish to restate the terms of the Investment Agreement as set out below. Now therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Investment Agreement is restated as follows:

Summary of Restated Terms

Issuer: American Lithium Minerals Inc. (“AMLM” or the “Corporation”) is a U.S.-based mineral exploration company focused on the development of lithium and boron resources in Nevada

Terms and Conditions:

Term – Two years per Debenture.

 

2.

Interest Rate - Eleven percent per annum payable quarterly in arrears in equal installments.

 

3.

Installments – The Minimum Guarantee shall be payable to AMLM in two (2) installments of $500,000 and $225,000 due by November 21, 2011 and March 23, 2012, respectively. AMLM acknowledges receipt of $500,000.as of November 21, 2011. Subject to payment of the Minimum Guarantee, the balance of the Subscription Funds may be paid at the option of the BG Capital in one or more installments prior March 16, 2014.






4.

Debentures. A Debenture shall be issued in respect of each installment of the Minimum Guarantee. Thereafter a Debenture shall be issued (i) promptly, in respect of any installment of Subscription Funds equal to $225,000 or greater; or (ii) following completion of any fiscal quarter of the Corporation, in respect of any lesser installment of Subscription Funds paid during the preceding fiscal quarter.

 

5.

Conversion –All or any portion of the outstanding principal sum of each Debenture and accrued interest thereon is convertible from time to time at the option of BG Capital into common shares of AMLM. The conversion price for each Debenture shall be $0.005 per share. If there are any dilutive changes in the capital structure of the Company through stock splits, consolidations, dividends, or otherwise, the Company shall make proportional adjustments in the number of shares issuable on conversion of the Debentures as may be required to prevent dilution of the rights of BG Capital hereunder, and provided that the conversion price of $0.005 per share shall remain unchanged.

Should BG Capital elect to exercise its right of conversion upon sale of the Borate Hills Property and there is insufficient authorized capital available to effect the conversion (as acknowledged in below Section 14) BG Capital agrees that AMLM shall be entitled, until such time as the authorized capital is increased and the conversion of the Debentures is effected, to substitute for the security granted in Section 6 hereunder an amount of cash equal to the amount then payable to BG Capital pursuant to this Agreement.
