Commenting on the Company's latest progress, Neil Herbert, Executive Chairman of Atlantic Lithium, said: 

"The June quarter has seen substantial progress in the Company's development.

"We were delighted to appoint Keith Muller as CEO to lead the Company at this important time in the Project's development. As one of only a handful of people with proven lithium mine operating experience globally, Keith's appointment as CEO attests to Atlantic Lithium's vision of achieving near-term lithium production at Ewoyaa.

"Keith has been pivotal in delivering the Definitive Feasibility Study this quarter, which represents a significant de-risking milestone and reaffirms Ewoyaa as a low capex and low opex project with impressive profitability potential.

"Over a 12-year mine life, the DFS indicates the production of 3.6Mt spodumene concentrate, delivering free cash flow of US$2.4bn from US$6.6bn Life of Mine revenues, a post-tax NPV8 of US$1.5bn and an Internal Rate of Return of 105%. Ewoyaa benefits from exceptional fundamentals, including adjacent infrastructure and the support of our surrounding host communities, which underlie our confidence in the delivery of the Project.

"Having only drilled 3% of the Company's tenure in Ghana, there also remains significant value upside through exploration. As such, we continue to advance our drilling activities across Ewoyaa and the wider Cape Coast Lithium Portfolio. While our current focus is on delivering first production at Ewoyaa to capture the current higher lithium prices, we are continuing our exploration strategy, which has proved highly successful in growing the Company to date.

"We believe that Ewoyaa is one of the leading hard rock lithium assets globally. We are, therefore, driven to achieve our objective of near-term production in Ghana."

Commenting on the Definitive Feasibility Study, Keith Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium, added:

"The plant has been designed to maximise metal recovery, enhancing NPV and generating robust margins over the life of the mine, aiming to withstand potential downturns in the market. Ewoyaa's favourable mineralogy enables a simple flow sheet and a low energy and water-intensive conventional Dense Media Separation plant from open pit mining.

"The mine plan outlined in the DFS considers 94% of the ore processed over the Life of Mine as Reserves, with Inferred Resources excluded from the first five years of operations, providing greater confidence in the viability of the Project.

"Deployment of a Modular DMS unit, processing 450,000t of ore while construction of the main plant gets underway, represents both a means of risk mitigation and a source of early revenue. With DMS processing still a new concept in Ghana, the Modular DMS unit will enable our staff to train on a smaller scale operation during the build of the main plant and identify and engineer out any bottlenecks that may arise.

"We also recognise the current trend, particularly in Africa, against exporting raw materials. In line with this thematic, the first year of Modular DMS is expected to produce c. 38kt of spodumene concentrate and 170kt of lower-grade secondary product.

"Early Modular DMS revenue, estimated at approx. US$170 million, is intended to reduce the peak funding requirement of the main plant and provide additional working capital. By purchasing the unit, we retain optionality to utilise Modular DMS processing at a later stage in the mine schedule, for example to capture inflated lithium prices or as a bolt-on processing route to operate alongside the main plant.

"Of the total US$185 million capex outlined in the DFS, we expect Piedmont will fund c. 70%, comprising US$70 million of initial sole funding and 50% of capex thereafter. Atlantic Lithium is in a desirable position as a near-term spodumene producer in having 50% of the Project's offtake still available. We have received considerable interest for the remaining offtake and are considering the possibility that the remaining share of the Company's capex requirement could be financed through a pre-payment deal, among other funding alternatives. Management, however, is focused on funding alternatives which maximise shareholder value and minimise dilution. 

"Post-period, we appointed DRA Global Limited to undertake a Scoping Study to assess the viability of including an additional flotation circuit downstream to the main DMS plant. 4.7Mt of 1.2% Li2O fines material, outlined in the DFS to be sold as a secondary product, represents a potential feedstock for the flotation circuit, which, we believe, would further enhance the Project's economics. Again, we expect to deliver an outcome of the Scoping Study later this year.

"Following the release of the DFS, we now are working on a clear pathway towards spodumene concentrate production at Ewoyaa. As we await the award of the Mining Lease from the Minerals Commission, which we hope to be granted in the current quarter, the coming months are pivotal in the Project's development. We look forward to providing further updates in due course."

Ewoyaa Lithium Project, Ghana, West Africa

Ewoyaa is the Company's flagship project, targeted to become Ghana's first lithium-producing mine.

The Project has secured project development funding via a partnership agreement with Piedmont Lithium Inc. (NASDAQ: PLL; ASX: PLL, "Piedmont", refer announcement of 31 August 2021). The Project, located in Ghana, West Africa, approximately 100km southwest of the capital of Accra, comprises eight main deposits, including Ewoyaa, Okwesi, Anokyi, Grasscutter, Abonko, Kaampakrom, Sill and Bypass. The Project is well located being adjacent to operational infrastructure including within 1km of the Takoradi - Accra N1 highway, 110km from the Takoradi deep-sea port and adjacent to grid power, within the pro-mining jurisdiction of Ghana (refer Figure 1). The Project is proven capable of producing spodumene concentrate suitable for conversion to battery-grade lithium carbonate and hydroxide.

Interest in TenementsAt the end of the quarter ending 30 June 2023, the Company had an interest in the following tenements:

* Renewal applications have been submitted to the various mining departments of the relevant Governments and the Company has no reason to believe the renewals will not be granted.

**Australasian Metals Ltd entered into an agreement on 31 May 2023 to acquire the May Queen South Bauxite Project in Queensland (EL 16260 and EPM 16261). This was already written down to zero value at 30 June 2022.

June Quarter Activities

Project Development

Definitive Feasibility Study for the Ewoyaa Lithium Project

On 29 June 2023, the Company reported a Definitive Feasibility Study1 ("DFS") for the Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana. The DFS indicates a low capital intensity, confirming the Project's economic viability and exceptional profitability potential.

Incorporating the Mineral Resource Estimate1 ("MRE") of 35.3Mt @ 1.25 Li2O and LOM concentrate pricing of US$1,587/t, FOB Ghana Port, the DFS details robust financial outcomes for a 2.7Mtpa steady state operation, producing 3.6Mt of spodumene concentrate over a 12-year Life of Mine ("LOM"):

- Post-tax NPV8 of US$1.5bn, with free cash flow of US$2.4bn from LOM revenues of US$6.6bn, Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 105%;

- Average LOM EBITDA of US$316 million per annum, short payback of 19 months;

- C1 cash operating costs of US$377/t of concentrate Free-On-Board ("FOB") Ghana Port, after by-product credits from conventional open cut mining operation; All in Sustaining Cost ("AISC") of US$610/t.

- Capital cost estimate of US$185 million.

The Project development involves open cut mining of several lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits and the use of a simple flowsheet, comprising integrated 3-stage crushing facility, conventional Dense Media Separation ("DMS") processing and supporting infrastructure to target the production of spodumene concentrate and secondary product by Q2 2025 (refer Figure 2).

Figure 2 Site Overview Looking Northeast, Year 1 Operation

Initial processing of approximately 450,000t of ore will be carried out over the first nine months, starting Q2 2025, in an early production DMS processing plant fed from Ewoyaa South-2 pit, prior to processing through the main 2.7Mtpa processing facility from Q1 2026 for 11 years.

Over the life of mine ("LOM"), the Project is estimated to produce 3.58Mt of 6% (SC6) and 5.5% (SC5.5) grade (approx. 50:50 ratio) spodumene concentrate at 10mm top size crush, as well as 4.7Mt of secondary product with an average grade of 1.16% Li2O.

Key Project metrics from the DFS are listed in Table 1 below, demonstrating robust Project financial outcomes and metrics.

NOTE: Mineral Resources are inclusive of the Ore Reserves.

Mineral Resource

Drilling programmes undertaken at the Project site used reverse circulation ("RC") drill rigs and a portion using diamond core ("DD") drill rigs. Over several drilling phases to date a total of 137,153m in 1,025 holes were drilled (refer Table 2). Drilling at the deposit extends to a maximum drill depth of 386m.

Earlier phase RC drilling was completed on a nominal 100m by 50m grid pattern, with subsequent phases of RC and DD reducing the wide spacing to 80m by 40m and down to 40m by 40m during infill drilling phases.

Table 2 Summary of Drilling Used for the Ewoyaa Mineral Resource Estimate1

Mineral Resource Estimate

An updated JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate1 ("MRE") was prepared by Ashmore Advisory Pty Ltd using analytical data from a total of 741 drillholes totalling 103,694m (refer Table 2) and ordinary kriging methods for resource estimation (refer Table 3). The MRE1 is based on a 0.5% reporting cut-off grade (constrained to above -190mRL), within a 0.4% Li2O wireframed pegmatite body.

The MRE1 was classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource based on data quality, sample spacing, and lode continuity. The Measured Mineral Resource was confined to fresh rock within areas drilled at 20m by 15m along with robust continuity of geology and Li2O grade. The Indicated Mineral Resource was defined within areas of close spaced drilling of less than 40m by 40m, and where the continuity and predictability of the lode positions was good. In addition, Indicated Mineral Resource was classified in weathered rock overlying fresh Measured Mineral Resource. The Inferred Mineral Resource was assigned to transitional material, areas where drill hole spacing was greater than 40m by 40m, where small, isolated pods of mineralisation occur outside the main mineralised zones, and to geologically complex zones.

Table 3 Ewoyaa MRE1 by Deposit and JORC Classification (0.5% Li2O Cut-off, above -190mRL)

COMPETENT PERSONS NOTE:

The Mineral Resource has been compiled under the supervision of Mr. Shaun Searle who is a director of Ashmore Advisory Pty Ltd and a Registered Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr. Searle has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he has undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code. Mr Searle consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

All Mineral Resources figures reported in the table above represent estimates at January 2023. Mineral Resource estimates are not precise calculations, being dependent on the interpretation of limited information on the location, shape and continuity of the occurrence and on the available sampling results. The totals contained in the above table have been rounded to reflect the relative uncertainty of the estimate. Rounding may cause some computational discrepancies.

Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code - JORC 2012 Edition).

Ore Reserves

Ore Reserves were determined as part of the mine planning work that MFC undertook for Atlantic Lithium as part of the Company's DFS1. Mining will be undertaken by conventional open pit methods of drill and blast, followed by load and haul. Processing incorporates well-tested technology and utilises conventional dense media separation techniques to produce SC6.0 and SC5.5 concentrate products, as well as a secondary product that comprises fines material (-0.85+0.053mm).

The mine plan for the Project includes 1.7Mt at 1.19% Li2O or 6% of Inferred Resources.

In order to determine whether to Project was still economically viable when plant feed that was classified as Inferred was excluded from the mine plan (and re-categorised from plant feed to waste), Atlantic Lithium developed a cash flow model with all Inferred Resources excluded from plant feed and re-assigned as waste.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:

There is a low level of geological confidence associated in inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised. In order to determine whether the Project was still economically viable when plant feed that was classified as Inferred was excluded from the mine plan a cash flow model was developed with all Inferred Resources excluded from plant feed and re-assigned as waste. This alternative cash flow model indicated that the Project is still financially robust when all Inferred Resources plant feed is treated as waste. Therefore, the Company is satisfied that the use of Inferred Resources is not a determining factor in the overall Project viability.

Based on the above, Probable Ore Reserves were declared for the Project and shown in Table 4. All stated Probable Ore Reserves are completely included within the quoted Mineral Resources and are quoted in dry tonnes. Probable Ore Reserves were declared based on the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources only contained within the pit designs.

This alternative cash flow model indicated that the Project is still financially robust when all Inferred Resources plant feed is treated as waste with the All-In-Sustaining Cost (AISC) margin greater than 50%.

Based on the above, Ore Reserves1 were declared for the Project.

Table 4 below provides a summary of the Ore Reserves as of 16 June 2023 that were determined for the Project.

Table 4 Ore Reserves1 as of 16 June 2023

COMPETENT PERSONS NOTE:

All stated Ore Reserves are completely included within the quoted Mineral Resources and are quoted in dry tonnes. The reported Ore Reserves have been compiled by Mr Harry Warries. Mr Warries is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and an employee of Mining Focus Consultants Pty Ltd. He has sufficient experience, relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' of December 2012 ("JORC Code") as prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Minerals Council of Australia. Mr Warries gives Atlantic Lithium Limited consent to use this reserve estimate in reports.

The Ore Reserves1 as determined for the Project were based on the Modifying Factors as summarised in Table 5. All currencies are denominated in United States of America dollars, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Table 5 Summary of Modifying Factors for Ore Reserve Determination

Modular DMS

The Company has identified the opportunity to conduct early processing operations using a Modular DMS processing plant and contract crushing services. The early production will precede the primary processing plant by nine months.

The contract crushing provider will crush ore to a top size of 10mm. This DMS feed material will be screened at 3mm to produce DMS feed (-10mm+3mm) and a fines stream (-3mm). The Modular DMS unit will produce a spodumene concentrate, along with the deslimed fines as a secondary product for sale.

Cashflow from the Modular DMS unit, estimated as approx. US$170 million in Year 1, will reduce peak funding requirement for the mine build and provide a valuable opportunity to train national staff and engineer out any mining, materials handling or logistics bottlenecks ahead of large-scale operations commencing. The capital expenditure for the Modular DMS unit, equating to US$15 million, comprising the unit, mobilisation of a mobile crushing contractor, manufacturing and contingency, will be paid back prior to the full completion of the main plant build.

Figure 3 EXAMPLE MODULAR DMS UNIT

NOTE: The Company discloses that the unit photographed above is not currently owned by the Company or used at the Project, nor is there any certainty that it will be owned or used by the Company in the future.

Mining Lease Update

The Company currently awaits the approval of the consolidation of the Mankessim and Mankessim South licences, which covered the proposed mine and processing plant site, into the single Mankessim licence. This was undertaken following guidance from Ghana's Minerals Commission Technical Committee in order to facilitate a smoother approvals process for the Mining Lease application and to establish a simplified operational structure.

As part of this process, the Company took the opportunity to implement optimisations based on the finalised plant flowsheet into its Mining Lease application. The revised Mining Lease application now also includes the addition of deposits that were sitting outside of the mine plan in the initial application submitted.

Upon approval of the mining licence consolidation, the Company will submit the revised application for a Mining Lease for the Project.

The Company expects no further major amendments to the application to be requested by the Technical Committee and has no reason to believe that the Mining Lease will not be granted for the Project. The Company hopes that the Mining Lease may be granted in the current quarter.

Funding

Of the total US$185 million total capex indicated in the DFS1, as detailed in the Company's agreement dated 1 July 2021, Piedmont is required to provide sole funding of the first US$70 million of capex, with costs split 50:50 between the Company and Piedmont thereafter.

Under the agreement, Piedmont will receive 50% of the spodumene concentrate produced at Ewoyaa at market prices. 50% of the offtake remains available. Considerable interest has been received by the Company to date. As one of few near-term spodumene concentrate producers with offtake unaccounted for, the Board believes that Atlantic Lithium would be able to secure a pre-payment offtake deal as an alternative funding mechanism which could be used to fund the remaining capex required by the Company. The Company is actively evaluating this option among other potential funding alternatives which maximise shareholder value and minimise dilution.

Flotation Circuit Scoping Study

Post-period end, the Company appointed international multi-disciplinary engineering, project delivery and operations management group DRA Global Limited (ASX: DRA, JSE: DRA, "DRA") to conduct a Scoping Study for the inclusion of a flotation circuit at Ewoyaa.

The Scoping Study, which forms part of Stage 2 of the Project's development, will comprise:

- an evaluation of the technical and commercial viability of the use of flotation to process fines and middlings as a potential additional downstream circuit to the planned Ewoyaa DMS processing plant;

- assessing the use of the 4.7Mt of 1.2% Li2O fines material currently intended to be sold as a low-grade Li2O secondary product (refer Ewoyaa Definitive Feasibility Study1, announced on 29 June 2023) as potential feedstock for the flotation circuit.

Preliminary testwork and calculations indicate encouraging flotation stage recovery and the achievement of >5% Li2O concentrate grades. The higher-value concentrate produced by flotation is intended to replace the current lower-grade secondary product. The Company believes that this would enhance the Project's financial outcomes and de-risk the Project in the event that the low-grade lithium-bearing products market is adversely affected.

Under the terms of the agreement, DRA will deliver process design criteria, a processing flowsheet, capital and operating cost estimates for the additional flotation circuit.

The Study is currently underway, with an outcome expected in Q4 2023.

Exploration

During the period, the Company advanced the 2023 exploration and resource drilling programmes at Ewoyaa (refer announcements of 20 March 2023 and 19 April 2023).

Approximately 3,000m of infill drilling was planned at the Ewoyaa South-2 deposit with a further 7,000m of resource extensional drilling planned at the Ewoyaa Main, Ewoyaa North-east and Kaampakrom deposits. A further 6,500m of exploration drilling and 2,000m of diamond core ("DD") drilling is planned as part of the 2023 field season.

Infill Drilling

Infill reverse circulation ("RC") drilling, designed to convert Inferred resources to higher confidence Indicated resources at the Ewoyaa South-2 deposit for future mine sequencing optionality, was completed during the period, with initial assay results received for 2,208m of drilling (refer announcement of 20 June 2023).

Multiple high-grade drill intersections are reported for infill drilling results at the Ewoyaa South-2 deposit within the current MRE1 (refer Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8).

Infill drilling results confirm mineralisation continuity within the Ewoyaa South-2 deposit, part of the MRE1, where multiple drilling intersections are reported over significant apparent widths and relatively shallow depths (refer Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6).

Drilling is planned to intersect mineralised pegmatite dykes perpendicular to strike and dip to approximate true width. This is not always achieved due to the variable nature of pegmatites or challenging drill access, with some drill intersections drilled down-dip as apparent widths. Accordingly, estimated true widths are included in the intersections table in Table 7.

Sample preparation was completed by Intertek Ghana and assay by Intertek Perth with all reported results passing QA/QC protocols, providing confidence in reported results.

Table 6 Drill intersection highlights at greater than 10 Li x m, reported at a 0.4% Li2O cut-off and maximum of 4m of internal dilution.

Soil geochemistry survey

The planned 100m x 100m grid soil geochemistry survey over the Cape Coast license has now been completed. In-house analysis of the samples for multi-element geochemistry using portable X-Ray fluorescence ('pXRF') and lithium using portable Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy ('LIBS') analysers is currently underway. Anomalous Li-Rb-Sn targets from the soil geochemistry survey with coincident geophysical anomalies will be prioritised for field mapping and pending results, auger drilling and RC drill testing.

Auger Drilling

The Company's approx. 20,000m auger drilling programme is ongoing, with analysis underway. Drilling is testing multiple coincident geochemical and geophysical targets within the Project corridor and broader 560km2 Cape Coast Lithium portfolio; inclusive of any targets defined within the Cape Coast soil geochemistry survey. Auger drilling is designed to test for pegmatites below vegetation and soil cover in the absence of outcrop and, if pegmatite is intersected, step out drilling over a grid pattern will follow to define the sub-surface pegmatite footprint ahead of RC drill testing at depth for grade potential.

Dependent on the results of the regional auger drilling and passive seismic survey, the Company has allowed for 6,500m of exploration RC drilling to test the targets defined later in the year.

Corporate Appointments

On 16 May 2023, the Company announced the appointments of Keith Muller as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Len Kolff as Head of Business Development & Chief Geologist, respectively.

Mr Muller joined Atlantic Lithium in November 2022, initially as Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), to drive the Company's transition from explorer through the development phase towards first production and the delivery of a successful operating spodumene concentrate mine.

Mr Muller brings considerable operational and leadership experience and a background in hard rock lithium mining and processing, specifically in DMS spodumene processing. His involvement at the Mt Cattlin lithium mine in Western Australia, which bears similarities with Ewoyaa, during his time at Allkem provides the Company with invaluable learnings and experience of operating a successful lithium mine.

As CEO, he assumes the position held by Len Kolff on an interim basis since March 2022 following the passing of Atlantic Lithium's founder and former Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Mascolo. The Board would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr Kolff for his efforts during this challenging period and delivering on significant milestones during this phase of the Company's growth.

In line with Mr Muller's appointment, Mr Kolff takes up the position of Head of Business Development & Chief Geologist, where he will be responsible for the ongoing exploration of the Company's portfolio and identifying and developing growth opportunities for the Company.

Changes to the Board

The Company confirmed the appointments of CEO Keith Muller and Patrick Brindle to the Atlantic Lithium Board of Directors.

Mr Brindle currently serves as Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer at Piedmont Lithium Inc. (NASDAQ: PLL, ASX: PLL) and joins the Board to take up the Non-Executive Director position available to Piedmont. He brings more than 20 years' experience in senior management and engineering roles and has completed EPC projects around the world.

Mr Muller and Mr Brindle bring global engineering and mine management experience and their appointments further align the capabilities of the Board with the Company's ambitions of achieving near-term spodumene concentrate production at Ewoyaa.

Also during the period, Stuart Crow made the decision to step down from the Board to focus on his other business interests. For over a decade, Mr Crow's insights contributed greatly to the growth and development of the Company to become a significant near-term lithium producer. The Board would like to take the opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to Mr Crow for all of his efforts for the Company and wish him success in his other endeavours.

International Lithium Association Membership

In April 2023, the Company became an Associate Member of the International Lithium Association ("ILiA"), the global trade association for the lithium industry.

The association aims to be a voice and global authority for the industry and support the sector's efforts to supply high-quality lithium sustainably and responsibly.

Atlantic Lithium's ILiA membership reflects the Company's ambition of bringing Ewoyaa to production to play an important role in the global decarbonisation thematic, while delivering long-term benefits to all stakeholders.

DTC Eligibility for OTCQX Electronic Trading

The Company commenced trading on the OTCQX in November 2021 with the aim of providing more efficient access to prospective US investors, where there is significant sophisticated investor interest in the mining sector.

In May 2023, the Company's common shares ("Common Shares") listed on the OTCQX® Best Market ("OTCQX") in the United States were granted eligibility for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC").

DTC eligibility is expected to simplify the process of trading and transferring the Common Shares and enhance the liquidity of the Common Shares in the United States because of the accelerated settlement period and the expected reduction in costs for investors and brokers.

The Company has been proactive in its marketing in the US and Canada and has seen an increase in North American institutional investor interest as a result.

Atlantic Lithium shares trade on the OTCQX under the ticker "ALLIF".

Appointment of Head of Operational Readiness

Post-period end, the Company appointed Aaron Maurer as Head of Operational Readiness. Prior to joining Atlantic Lithium, Mr Maurer held several engineering, production, operational, and senior executive roles, including as Executive General Manager - Operations at Minerals Resources Limited, where he oversaw the Mt Marion Lithium mine and three iron ore mines in Western Australia.
