Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) has announced its medium to long-term regional growth strategy in Brazil's Lithium Valley (LV). The company holds three key projects: Neves Project (flagship, recently permitted), Salinas Project (2,070 acres with spodumene outcrops), and Clear Project (470 acres). Recent exploration at Salinas revealed spodumene-rich pegmatites with Li2O assays ranging from 2.31% to 4.97%. The Clear Project showed promising geological mapping with two pegmatites discovered. Atlas Lithium plans to prioritize Neves for initial production while advancing exploration at Clear and Salinas, with an expanded exploration budget expected in 2025.

Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) has received the operational permit for its Neves Project from Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The permit, unanimously approved by a twelve-member voting board, authorizes the company to assemble and operate its lithium processing plant, process mined ore, and sell lithium concentrate. This triphasic permit (LI/LP/LO) combines initial, installation, and operating licenses in a single authorization, following a fourteen-month technical review process that began on September 1, 2023. The permit represents a important milestone in Atlas Lithium's path to becoming a lithium producer and is expected to create hundreds of local jobs in the Vale do Jequitinhonha area.

Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) has reached a significant milestone in its permitting process for the Neves Project.
