Atlas Lithium Expands Anitta 3 Pegmatite, Provides Representative Cross-Sections

By: Newsfile

HIGHLIGHT

  • Anitta 3 current cross sections reveal two ore bodies with individual true widths up to 42m and combined true widths of up to 52m in certain sections, and with mineralized lithium-bearing spodumene starting near the surface

Boca Raton, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - February 20, 2024) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its Anitta 3 pegmatite at its Neves Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. Recent drill holes have intersected further high-grade lithium mineralization, demonstrating the potential of this deposit.

Select results from recent geochemical assays showed that drill hole DHAB-369 intersected 1.40% Li2O over 14.4 meters from 113 meters depth (Figure 1), DHAB-372 intersected 1.61% Li2O over 7.0 meters starting at just 45 meters depth (Figure 2), and DHAB-374 intersected 1.49% Li2O over robust 42.5 meters from 166 meters depth and 1.52% Li2O over 16.5 meters from 242 meters (Figure 3).

Included with this press release are three current and representative cross-sections for Anitta 3. These cross-sections reveal two ore bodies with individual true widths up to 42m and combined true widths of up to 52m in certain sections, with mineralized lithium-bearing spodumene starting near the surface. This near-surface mineralization is a key reason why the Company is able to plan for open-pit mining operations at Anitta 3 rather than underground mining. By utilizing lower-cost open-pit mining method, the shallow high-grade ore at Anitta 3 is expected to benefit Atlas Lithium's overall operating costs and economics. (Figures 4-6).

Marc Fogassa, CEO and Chairman of Atlas Lithium Corporation, commented, "With the recent results indicating further high-grade mineralization near surface, Anitta 3 continues to impress us as an excellent candidate for open-pit mining. In a market where lithium prices have fluctuated significantly, the low-cost advantage of open-pit mining combined with high-quality spodumene is paramount to success. We continue to progress well towards our immediate goal to become a producer of high-quality, low-cost lithium concentrate."
