Belo Horizonte, Brazil--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 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 Alto do Paranaíba Rare Earth Elements and Titanium Project ("Project"), located in the western region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The TRS was prepared by SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS"), a premier mineral evaluation company, and validates the presence of high-grade mineralization for both rare earths and titanium. Geologists Marc-Antoine Laporte and Yann Camus from SGS are Qualified Persons for the Project under Regulation S-K 1300. SGS is well-known as a global leader in testing, inspection and certification of mineral properties and projects. The TRS was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and can be accessed at this link: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1684688/000164117225023742/ex96-1.htm.
The TRS validates the geological potential of the Alto do Paranaíba Project which spans 16 mineral rights

Comprehensive Three-Phase Exploration Program
The TRS recommends a strategic three-phase exploration program designed to advance the project toward initial resource estimates. Such program includes 13,000 meters of drilling across the three exploration blocks, comprehensive geophysical surveys including drone magnetometry and LiDAR, as well as metallurgical testing.
"This initial Technical Report for our Alto do Paranaiba Project represents a major milestone for Atlas Critical Minerals," stated Marc Fogassa, Chairman and CEO of Atlas Critical Minerals. "We are very encouraged by the consistent high-grade mineralization for rare earths and titanium seen across all tested mineral rights."
Strategic Advantages and Geological Characteristics
The TRS indicates that the Alto do Paranaíba Project benefits from numerous strategic advantages for exploration. The Project geological potential for mineralization across a large area, as the initial positive results were seen across many different mineral rights. The mineralization of rare earths and titanium occurred in layers close to the surface thus favoring any future extraction by open-pit modality. And consistent grades were confirmed across all tested mineral rights, with initial auger drilling from 11 drill holes delivering results that validated the widespread mineralization. Additionally, the Project location enjoys robust infrastructure, including power, water, and roads.
The Mata da Corda formation is known to host rare earth oxides and titanium mineralization. This geological unit is composed of volcanoclastic rocks from both the Capacete Formation and volcanic rocks from the Patos Formation, with lithotypes consisting of titanium-rich minerals embedded in a clayey matrix. The strong positive correlation between rare earths elements and titanium, combined with the geological unit's high responsiveness to magnetic surveys due to its intense magnetism, renders the deposits highly amenable to geophysical exploration and enhances targeting precision for the Company's planned future drilling programs.
The Company's objective, as stated in the TRS, is to "rapidly issue a resource estimate and, in the medium term, develop an integrated mine and processing plant project for the beneficiation of rare earth oxides and titanium."
The TRS is also available on the Company's website at www.atlascriticalminerals.com.
