Atlantic Lithium nears shovel-readiness following the completion of several major permitting milestones at the Ewoyaa Lithium Project

Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL, ASX: A11, OTCQX: ALLIF, “Atlantic Lithium” or the “Company”), the African-focused lithium exploration and development company targeting to deliver Ghana’s first lithium mine, is pleased to announce its Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report for the period ended 30 June 2024.

    • Successful completion of the second and final Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) public hearing in respect of the Project.
    • Submission of draft Environment Impact Statement (“EIS”) to the EPA.
    • Admission of the Company’s entire share capital by introduction and commencement of trading on the Main Market of the Ghana Stock Exchange, as agreed under the terms of the grant of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease.
  • Post period-end, the Mining Lease in respect of the Project was submitted to parliament to undergo the necessary ratification process.

Exploration:

  • Commencement of field work at the newly-granted Senya Beraku prospecting licence in the east of the Company’s Cape Coast Lithium Portfolio in Ghana.
  • High-grade assay results reported from the Dog-Leg target, with highlights including hole GRC0177: 27m at 1.85% Li2O from 126m and hole GRC1059: 15m at 1.08% Li2O from 126m.
  • Completion of sterilisation reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling at the proposed plant site, with no mineralisation reported, providing increased confidence in the proposed site location.

Corporate:

  • Appointment of Minerals Income Investment Fund (“MIIF”) Chief Executive Officer Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng to the Company’s Board of Directors as Non-Executive Director, in line with the completion of MIIF’s US$5m subscription in the Company.
  • The Company has progressed negotiations on key agreements as part of the ongoing competitive offtake partnering process for spodumene concentrate produced at Ewoyaa to secure funding expected to sufficiently cover the Company’s allocation of the development expenditure for the Project.
  • Cash on hand at end of quarter was A$12.7m.

Commenting, Neil Herbert, Executive Chairman of Atlantic Lithium, said:

“Considerable progress has been made towards advancing the Company’s flagship Ewoyaa Lithium Project towards shovel-readiness. The Project is set to be one of the leading hard rock lithium projects, expected to generate significant benefits to the local communities in which we operate in the Central Region, and to Ghana more broadly.

“Following the grant of the Mining Lease in October 2023, we received notification this month that the Mining Lease had been submitted to parliament to undergo the necessary approval process to enable the advancement of the Project towards construction and operation.

“It is expected that the Mining Lease will be ratified in the current parliamentary sitting or in the next parliamentary session, expected to commence in October. We are prepared for all eventualities and will adapt plans as events unfold.

“We continue to make strong progress through permitting hurdles, with the recent submission of the draft Environment Impact Statement and subsequent completion of the second and final EPA public hearing in respect of the Project; both representing major events on the road to production.

“In June, we were delighted to list the Company’s shares on the Ghana Stock Exchange, providing Ghanaians the opportunity to share ownership in the development of the country’s first lithium mine. We also welcomed the appointment of Edward Koranteng, the CEO of MIIF, the sovereign wealth fund of Ghana, to the Company’s Board as Non-Executive Director. This follows the completion of MIIF’s US$5m subscription in the Company early in the year.

“We are busy working to conclude several major landmark events, including the completion of the ongoing offiake partnering process, MIIF’s Project-level investment and the grant of the remaining permits as required for the advancement of the Project.

“We appreciate shareholders patience and support and look forward to providing further updates on our progress.”

Top 5 Canadian Lithium Stocks of 2025

The lithium market continued to battle headwinds during the first quarter of 2025 as residual oversupply weighed on prices, pushing them to a four year low.

Weaker-than-expected demand to start the year also added pressure to the oversupplied market, resulting in the lithium carbonate CIF North Asia price to fall below US$9,550 per metric ton, its lowest point since 2021.

Analysts have suggested the persistent downturn is the signaling of a market bottom. This theory is further supported by a projected production reduction that will help absorb market oversupply.

Top 4 Largest Lithium Reserves by Country

Those interested in the lithium sector and investing in lithium stocks are often curious about which countries are the top producers of the battery metal, but they may not stop to consider the top lithium reserves by country.

Major lithium-producing countries are, of course, home to a large number of lithium companies. Many of the world’s top lithium producers also hold significant reserves, and their reserves can give an idea of how much room those countries have to grow. At the same time, nations with high reserves may become more significant lithium players in the future.

Looking forward, lithium demand is expected to continue increasing. That’s because, together with metals such as cobalt, lithium is a key raw material in the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, and it is also essential for the energy storage sector.
