Atlas Lithium Subsidiary Begins Quartzite Production
Belo Horizonte, June 13, 2023 - Atlas Lithium Corp. (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Jupiter Gold Corporation ("JGC") has initiated production of quartzite from its quarry located in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil.
Marc Fogassa, the CEO and Chairman of Atlas Lithium and JGC, commented: "We are extremely pleased with this development, which is a culmination of a multi-year effort that endowed us with the experience of taking a mining project from discovery and exploration to production."
On May 2, 2023, Atlas Lithium received a US$20M non-dilutive investment from Lithium Royalty Corporation ("LRC"), an experienced institutional investor in lithium companies. LRC's press release announcing the transaction with Atlas Lithium noted that "the same domestic team that led an Atlas subsidiary to receive its operational permit successfully and expeditiously for a quartzite project will oversee the permitting for the Das Neves project." Neves is a lithium project 100%-owned by the Company and located in Brazil's Lithium Valley.
