Premium Large-Flake Fraction Achieved
Belo Horizonte, Brazil--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2025) - Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF) ("Atlas Critical Minerals" or the "Company"), an exploration company focused on critical minerals for defense applications and electrification, is pleased to announce the filing of a Technical Report Summary ("TRS") under the U.S. guidelines of Item 1300 of Regulation S-K ("Regulation S-K 1300") for its Malacacheta Graphite Project ("Project"), located in northeast Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The TRS confirms the geological potential of the Project, which comprises two mineral rights covering 1,258 hectares,
The TRS was prepared by SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS"), a premier mineral evaluation company; Marc-Antoine Laporte and Rohan Millar from SGS are Qualified Persons for the Project under Regulation S-K 1300. The TRS was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and can be accessed at the following link from the SEC site:

"This Technical Report marks an important milestone for Atlas Critical Minerals and its graphite project," stated Marc Fogassa, Chairman and CEO of Atlas Critical Minerals. "Graphite is every bit as essential as lithium in electric vehicle (EV) battery production. The strong metallurgical recovery rates and high-grade concentrations achieved, particularly in the premium large-flake fractions, demonstrate our Project's encouraging potential as a source for battery-grade graphite."
Key Highlights from the Technical Report
Exceptional Metallurgical Test Results:
Final concentrate grades of up to
96.5% total graphitic carbonRecovery rates reached up to
95.1% for higher-grade samplesPremium large-flake fraction (-300+180 μm) achieved
96.6% graphitic carbonConventional flotation methods demonstrated strong amenability to processing
Surface Sampling and Initial Drilling Results:
Surface samples contained up to
15.4% graphitic carbon21 auger drill holes completed with multiple graphite intercepts
Seven holes intercepted graphite in a north-south trending corridor
Significant Graphite Mineralization Identified:
Graphite bodies confirmed within both exploration areas
Mineralization occurs as flake graphite within metamorphic sequences
Visual graphite confirmed in multiple surface outcrops
Highly Favorable Geological Location
The Project benefits from a favorable geological location. The flake graphite mineralization, hosted within the Macaúbas Group formations, represents a deposit type highly valued in global markets. The geological setting within the Araçuaí Orogen, specifically the graphitic metapelites of the Capelinha and Ribeirão da Folha formations, provides a well-understood geological framework for continued exploration.
Additional Exploration Program
Per TRS recommendation, the Company intends to implement in the future a comprehensive exploration program designed to advance the project toward initial resource definition. Such program will include up to 5,000 meters of drilling across both mineral rights.
The TRS is also available on the Company's website at www.atlascriticalminerals.com.
