Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) has reached a significant milestone in its permitting process for the Neves Project. The state of Minas Gerais Environmental Foundation's technical management group has issued a 161-page technical report recommending approval of Atlas Lithium's operational permit application. This is important for the company's ability to assemble and operate its lithium processing plant.

The company filed the application on September 1, 2023, and has since addressed multiple technical questions from the agency. Concurrently, Atlas Lithium is preparing to ship its compact and modular lithium processing plant from South Africa to Brazil. The plant is designed to be environmentally sustainable, with reduced height, weight, and footprint, maximizing water recycling and employing dry stacking of tailings without dams.

Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) ha raggiunto un traguardo significativo nel processo di autorizzazione per il Progetto Neves. Il gruppo di gestione tecnica della Fondazione Ambientale dello stato di Minas Gerais ha emesso un rapporto tecnico di 161 pagine che raccomanda l'approvazione della domanda di permesso operativo di Atlas Lithium. Questo è fondamentale per la capacità dell'azienda di assemblare e gestire il suo impianto di lavorazione del litio.

L'azienda ha presentato la domanda il 1° settembre 2023 e da allora ha affrontato numerose domande tecniche da parte dell'agenzia. Contemporaneamente, Atlas Lithium si sta preparando a spedire il suo impianto di lavorazione del litio compatto e modulare dal Sudafrica al Brasile. L'impianto è progettato per essere ecologicamente sostenibile, con altezza, peso e ingombro ridotti, massimizzando il riciclo dell'acqua e impiegando lo stoccaggio secco delle scorie senza dighe.

Boca Raton, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2024) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that the technical management group of the state of Minas Gerais Environmental Foundation, the governmental agency regulating operational licensing within the state of Minas Gerais (the "Agency"), issued a 161-page technical report which recommends approval of Atlas Lithium's permit application for its Neves Project. This is a critical step for the Company's ability to receive the permit to assemble and operate its lithium processing plant and to process the mined ore at the facility.

Atlas Lithium filed its operational permit application on September 1, 2023. Since then, the Company's Neves Project has been inspected by the Agency's technical team, an essential step in the permitting process. During the last twelve months, Atlas Lithium received multiple sets of technical questions from the Agency's staff which the Company addressed timely, leading up to the issuance of the Agency's comprehensive report with the favorable recommendation for the approval of the Company's permit application.

Marc Fogassa, CEO of the Company, commented, "This milestone announcement is one of the most significant developments in Atlas Lithium's history. We extend our gratitude to the numerous experts from the environmental agency of the state of Minas Gerais who thoroughly analyzed our project and concluded with their recommendation for approval of our permit. We are continuing our steady progress towards becoming a producer."

In other news, preparations continue as planned for the shipment of the Company's lithium processing plant to Brazil. The plant's components, manufactured in South Africa, will be assembled in Brazil to process ore from the Company's Neves Project and produce lithium concentrate, a crucial commercial product in the global lithium supply chain and essential for EV battery production.

"The Atlas Lithium processing plant represents an advancement over traditional designs as it is compact and modular. We are making continued progress in finalizing all necessary pre-shipment steps", said James Schloffer, a lithium processing expert and member of the Company's Operations Committee.

The Company's compact, modular plant design is expected to streamline transportation, installation, and commissioning. Compared to other processing facilities in the lithium industry today, this dense media separation plant will have reduced height, weight, and overall physical footprint. These features will contribute to an environmentally sustainable design that minimizes water usage by maximizing water recycling. Furthermore, Atlas Lithium's project will employ dry stacking of tailings without the use of dams.
