Ratification Process - Ewoyaa Mining Lease
Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL, ASX: A11, GSE: ALLGH, "Atlantic Lithium" or the "Company"), the Africa-focused lithium exploration and development company targeting the delivery of Ghana's first lithium mine, provides the following update regarding the status of the Mining Lease in respect of its flagship Ewoyaa Lithium Project ("Ewoyaa" or the "Project") in Ghana.
The Company is pleased to confirm that a revised Mining Lease has been submitted to the Parliament of Ghana and referred to the Select Committee, per the necessary process for ratification.
The Mining Lease includes certain fiscal terms which were incorporated following a period of consultation undertaken by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources with relevant stakeholders in Ghana in relation to Ghana's current mining code and the application of royalties, which was supported by the Company. The revised terms comprise the alignment of the Project's royalty rate and Growth and Sustainability Levy to current legislated rates in Ghana.
Accordingly, the Company notes the submission by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources to Parliament of a new Legislative Instrument, Minerals and Mining (Royalty) Regulations, 2025, which sets out the following proposed sliding scale in relation to royalty rates for lithium projects in Ghana according to various spodumene price ranges:
Spodumene Price, US$/tonne | Royalty Applicable |
Up to US$1,500/tonne | 5.0% |
Between US$1,501 - US$2,500 | 7.0% |
Between US$2,501 - US$3,000 | 10.0% |
Above US$3,000 | 12.0% |
The Legislative Instrument will be considered in line with due parliamentary process.
All other fiscal terms outlined in the Mining Lease granted in October 2023 remain unchanged (refer announcement of 20 October 2023).
Following the adjournment of Parliament for the festive period, the Company understands that the Select Committee will undertake its review of the revised Mining Lease in the New Year, before providing its recommendation to Parliament for or against ratification.
The Company remains confident that ratification of the Mining Lease will be forthcoming in accordance with due parliamentary process. Shareholders should note, however, that there can be no certainty that the proposed terms of the Legislative Instrument will not change or that Parliament will indeed ratify the Mining Lease.
Further updates will be provided to shareholders as and when appropriate.
