Atlas Lithium Intersects High-Grade Lithium Mineralization in Pegmatite with Current Estimated Length of 1.1 Kilometers and Still Open at Both Ends

Atlas Lithium Intersects High-Grade Lithium Mineralization in Pegmatite with Current Estimated Length of 1.1 Kilometers and Still Open at Both Ends

Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration company with over 75,000 acres of hard-rock lithium mineral rights, announced today highlights from recent third-party geochemical testing of core samples drilled from an area known as Abelhas Target located within its Neves Lithium Project; such results are summarized below. Additionally, the Company's technical team significantly increased the estimated size of one of its several lithium-bearing ore bodies to at least 1.1 kilometers (~0.7 miles) in length, with such pegmatite still open for expansion in size at both ends and at depth. This pegmatite is now referred to as Anitta to follow the local tradition of naming special discoveries. By way of comparison, based on publicly available reports, nearby pegmatite Xuxa, which is owned by another lithium exploration company, is 1.5 kilometers in length.

Abelha Target exploration testing highlights are as follows:

  • 2.44% Li₂O over 3.15 meters (m) (drill hole DHAB-11)
  • 2.24% Li₂O over 4.05 m, 2.00% Li₂O over 3.15 m, 1.74% Li₂O over 0.84 m, 1.60% Li₂O over 1.40 m, 1.48% Li₂O over 0.86 m, 1.35% Li₂O over 1.86 m (drill hole DHAB-11B)
  • 2.99% Li₂O over 5.00 m, 1.94% Li₂O over 1.98 m, 1.43% Li₂O over 3.05 m (drill hole DHAB-15)
  • 1.80% Li₂O over 6.00 m (drill hole DHAB-21)
  • 1.72% Li₂O over 4.00 m, 1.60% Li₂O over 2.19 m, 1.41% Li₂O over 2.00 m, 1.38% Li₂O over 1.00 m (drill hole DHAB-41)
  • 2.35% Li₂O over 2.91 m, 1.92% Li₂O over 2.00 m, 1.87% Li₂O over 2.06 m, 1.39% Li₂O over 1.92 m (drill hole DHAB-57)

Marc Fogassa, Atlas Lithium's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This year has been terrific with our listing on NASDAQ and successful funding that facilitates expedited drilling towards our initial resource report. Our announcement today further underscores the quality of our large collection of lithium-bearing assets located in the Lithium Valley. We are very pleased with the grade and thickness of the intercepts which further strengthens our 100%-owned Minas Gerais Lithium Project."

The southwestern end of Anitta has been very recently drilled (drill holes DHAB-68 and 69) and sampling cores intersected lithium-bearing spodumene with large crystals starting at approximately 13 meters in depth. Representative photos of cores from DHAB-69 are attached to this release. Atlas Lithium's exploration team will need several weeks to drill between DHAB-68 and 69 and the Abelhas Target drill holes located to the northeast, which are connected on a trend by the presence of pegmatitic outcroppings. Anitta's current estimated measurements are ~1.1 km in length and ~20 m in width, remaining open to the northeast and southwest and at depth.

Atlas Lithium's drilling campaign is currently advancing with 5 drills with an additional 2 drills contractually ordered. The Company's exploratory program is supervised by a Qualified Person for lithium in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Modernized Property Disclosure Requirements for Mining Registrants as described in Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K, Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations ("Regulation SK-1300"). Samples from the exploratory drilling campaign are analyzed at SGS Geosol, a well-known independent laboratory. A robust quality control and quality assurance program has been adopted using blank and standard samples as well as field duplicates. All assays are analyzed using a multi-element peroxide fusion ICP-AES on half-core, one-kilogram samples. Periodically, such information is shared with SLR International, a premier third-party mineral evaluation firm, which will independently author resource reports on the Company's properties in accordance with Regulation SK-1300.

Inside Billionaire Gina Rinehart's Key Mining Investments

Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart has become a formidable force in the global mining industry.

After taking the helm of her father’s iron ore firm Hancock Prospecting in 1993, she embarked upon a diversification strategy that has vastly expanded her resource empire. Now Australia’s richest person, Rinehart has investments in many of the world’s most strategic commodities such as lithium, rare earths, copper, potash and natural gas.

One of those investments is Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU,OTC Pink:ARAFF), which even in a low price environment for rare earths managed to secure nearly AU$1.5 billion in debt financing in mid-2024 to advance its Nolans project in the Northern Territory. With a 10 percent equity stake, Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting is Arafura's largest shareholder.

Billionaire-backed KoBold Metals Secures DRC Licenses in Push for Manono Lithium

KoBold Metals, a US-backed mining firm supported by billionaires Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, has received seven new permits to explore for lithium in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The DRC mining registry confirmed on Wednesday (August 27) that the permits cover ground in both the Tanganyika and Haut-Lomami provinces, including four in Manono territory, home to the massive Roche Dure lithium deposit.

The approvals follow a July agreement between KoBold and the DRC government that positioned the company to acquire and develop the disputed Manono project, considered one of world's largest untapped lithium deposits.
