- The Clear Project in central LV, which encompasses 470 acres, is situated 3.8 miles from Sigma Lithium's (NASDAQ: SGML) Grota do Cirilo mine. There is also potential for spodumene deposits. Sigma Lithium has a market cap of roughly CAD$1.2B!
In the Right Place at the Right Time
Within the global lithium industry, Brazil's LV has emerged as a premier hard-rock lithium jurisdiction.
Brazil's advantages include year-round mining operations, lower labor costs, and a supportive government. The country's lithium industry outperforms Australian producers on costs; Pilbara Mineral's US$370M acquisition of a Brazilian lithium explorer in August 2024 highlights the region's importance.
"Investments in lithium production in Minas Gerais are projected to range from $3.9 billion to $5.8 billion by 2030," according to João Paulo Braga, CEO of the state investment promotion agency, Invest Minas.
Few countries besides Brazil have such an advantageous position to attract investment, as other Latin American nations face uncertainties and political risks.
ATLX's Minas Gerais Lithium Project is its largest endeavor and consists of 85 mineral rights totaling approximately 468 km2 which include seven main clusters of prospective mineralization: Neves (currently being explored by drilling campaign and referred to as the "Neves Project"), Coronel Murta, Eastern Properties, Itinga, Salinas, Santa Clara, and Tesouras.
Several of the company's mineral rights are located adjacent to or near mineral rights that belong to a large publicly traded competitor company which has demonstrated through extensive drilling the presence of lithium deposits totaling over 100 million tons, according to its publicly available filings!
This is a Highly Attractive Location:
◼ Resource Potential to Support Large Scale Operations
✓ The Brazilian Geological Service (CPRM) suggested that the region has at least 45 lithium deposits
✓ Adjacent to operational lithium mines in the region such as Sigma Lithium and CBL
◼ Licensing Fast Track to Speed up Project Execution – Atlas with Permits in Place
✓ Minas Gerais government created a fast-track process, under the InvestMinas Program, to facilitate project development and allow for licensing to be issued quickly
✓ Mining friendly jurisdiction: 300+ operating mines in the state of Minas Gerais
◼Favorable Infrastructure
✓ Access to abundant renewable & clean energy sources and highway roads directly connected to intercontinental ports to supply main markets
Recent exploration activities at both the company's Salinas and the Clear Projects have yielded significant progress, and such development bodes well for ATLX's strategy of securing as many high-quality deposit areas within LV as feasible.

THE THREE CROWN JEWELS: ATLAS'S CORE PROJECTS
- Neves Project: Permits in hand. Production is imminent. Of significant strategic value.
- Salinas Project: Pegmatite-rich with assays ranging from 2.31% to 4.97% Li₂O.
- Clear Project: Right next to Sigma Lithium. Soil + geophysical studies point to buried spodumene swarms.
All three are in the heart of Lithium Valley, surrounded by proven multibillion-dollar resources. Recent exploration confirms spodumene at multiple locations.
Lithium Projects: Highlights
- The Salinas Project continues to demonstrate its substantial potential, with recent detailed geological mapping revealing two outcrops of spodumene-rich pegmatites in the northwest portion of the mineral property, coinciding with a northeast-southwest trending lithium soil anomaly. Additionally, lithium mineralization has been determined in at least three pegmatites, with geochemical assay results ranging from 2.31% to 4.97% Li2O. Laboratory analysis of detailed soil sampling within the claim has identified at least three parallel north-south and northeast-southwest lithium anomalies associated with mapped pegmatites. The Company has undertaken geophysical surveys and such results have been consistent with the probability of one or more lithium deposits within the claim.
- At the Clear Project, detailed geological mapping of the claim has resulted in the discovery of two pegmatites, with completed soil sampling revealing a substantial northeast-southwest trending lithium anomaly associated with a mapped pegmatite, suggesting the presence of a buried pegmatite swarm. The Company's technical team has completed an initial round of geophysical studies which have been favorable for the potential of one or more lithium deposits within the mineral right.
- The Company's strategic approach prioritizes the Neves Project for initial production, while simultaneously advancing exploration at the Clear and Salinas Projects. Over the last several quarters, Atlas Lithium has enhanced its geological assessment methodology through a comprehensive multi-step process: detailed geological mapping, zoned and detailed soil geochemical analysis, and advanced geophysical surveys including LIDAR and magnetic surveys. In the Company's experience, such systematic approach has demonstrated accuracy in identifying potential spodumene deposits. Given the favorable results so far, the Company is expected to expand its exploration budget in 2025 to accommodate for drilling in both the Clear Project and the Salinas Projects.
The Neves Project Has Already Received All Permits Needed to Assemble its Processing Plant and Operate!
"We are thrilled with today's announcement, as permitting is widely considered the most critical risk in any mining project. Atlas Lithium's permit reflects fourteen months of our team's meticulous work throughout the licensing process (…). This milestone marks a key step for us towards becoming a lithium producer and advances Atlas Lithium into the next phase of our growth trajectory." – CEO Marc Fogassa
"We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen for all our stakeholders.

Promising Drilling and Metallurgical Results
Lithium might just be the hottest commodity to watch as we get closer to 2030 and could yield long-term opportunities for ATLX!
Why Lithium?
Lithium is on the list of the 35 minerals considered critical to the economic and national security of the United States as first published by the U.S. Department of the Interior on May 18, 2018.
In June 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy published a report titled "National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries 2021-2030" (henceforth, the "NBLB Report") which was developed by the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries ("FCAB"), a collaboration by the U.S. Departments of Energy, Defense, Commerce, and State. According to the Report, one of the main goals of this U.S. government effort is to "secure U.S. access to raw materials for lithium batteries."
In the NBLB Report, Ms. Jennifer M. Granholm, the U.S. Secretary of Energy, states: "Lithium-based batteries power our daily lives from consumer electronics to national defense. They enable electrification of the transportation sector and provide stationary grid storage, critical to developing the clean-energy economy."
The NBLB Report summarizes as follows the U.S. government's views on the needs for lithium and the expected growth of the lithium battery market:
"A robust, secure, domestic industrial base for lithium-based batteries requires access to a reliable supply of raw, refined, and processed material inputs…"
"The worldwide lithium battery market is expected to grow by a factor of 5 to 10 in the next decade."
Is Lithium Poised for a Major Comeback?
An anticipated surge in demand, coupled with expanding supply capacities, indicates a potentially lucrative rebound for the lithium market which could present significant investment opportunities.
A lithium rebound could bode well for many lithium companies including Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX).
The rebound in lithium stocks got underway in 2024 when the world's largest miner of the metal, Albemarle revealed plans to cut production and spending. Smaller peer Arcadium Lithium quickly followed. The moves stirred hopes that lithium supplies would soon revert closer to current demand.
Investor enthusiasm continued in October of 2024 when the mining world's second-largest enterprise, Rio Tinto, sealed a $6.7 billion deal to take over Arcadium. The acquisition will make Rio a top lithium supplier. Why did Rio Tinto make such a big move? The mining giant is moving to solidify its position when lithium prices are near cyclical lows.
Are there any compelling reasons for investors to consider buying lithium stocks now? Plenty.
- Significant demand drivers are in place for lithium. Lithium is pivotal in the production of rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, and electric vehicles.
- The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that clean energy technologies will increase global demand for lithium by nearly 90% over the next two decades.
- Strategic initiatives are underway to tighten lithium supply through mine closures and the deferral of new projects. These moves aim to address the excess supply that has contributed to the prolonged downturn in the lithium market.
- Many oil and gas giants are foraying into lithium production as efforts to curb emissions gain momentum, amid the global transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy. This includes Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Energy Renewables and Occidental Petroleum and ExxonMobil.
- Recent M&A in the Lithium mining space should encourage further consolidation. In October of 2024, Rio Tinto agreed to buy Arcadium Lithium plc (ALTM) for $5.85 per share in cash, bringing the total value of the deal to $6.7 billion. In December of 2024, Australia's Sayona Mining and U.S.-based Piedmont Lithium (PLL) agreed to merge in an all-stock transaction to form a unified lithium business. Pilbara Minerals Ltd. demonstrated further industry consolidation through its strategic acquisition of Latin Resources Ltd. for approximately $370 million, notably targeting assets in Brazil's Lithium Valley near Atlas Lithium's operations, which validated the region's growing importance in the global lithium supply chain.
