Atlas Lithium Intersects Wide, High-Grade Lithium Mineralization, Continues Expansion of "Anitta 3" and "Anitta 4" Pegmatites

HIGHLIGHTS

• Several recent drill holes in Anitta 3 and Anitta 4 pegmatites intersected further high-grade lithium mineralization:
• Drill hole DHAB-345 intersected 1.44% Li₂O over 47.00m from 59m depth
• DHAB-347 intersected 1.32% Li₂O over 42.88m from 133m depth and 1.20% Li₂O over 9.65m from 223m depth
• DHAB-354 intersected 1.06% Li₂O over 11.60m from 153m depth
• DHAB-356 intersected 0.96% Li₂O over 12.55m from 29m depth and 1.96% Li₂O over 3.40m from 127m depth
• Drill hole DHAB-339 intersected 1.52% Li₂O over 20.90m from 82m depth and 1.70% Li₂O over 9.00m from 162m depth
• At Anitta 4, DHAB-353 intersected 1.41% Li₂O over 7.63m from 79m depth and DHAB-362 intersected 1.41% Li₂O over 6.30m from 102m depth
• Drone magnetics geophysics surveys have now started and are planned to cover the entire Neves Project

Boca Raton, January 8, 2024 - Atlas Lithium Corp. (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium exploration and development company, is pleased to announce additional strong geochemical lithium assay results from the ongoing drilling campaign at its Neves Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The Neves Project consists of four mineral rights totaling 2,684 hectares in this proven lithium mining district. With these latest promising results, the Company continues to uncover the potential across its strategically positioned holdings of lithium claims spanning over 24,000 hectares.

The latest round of drilling into the Anitta 3 and Anitta 4 mineralized pegmatite swarms has yielded additional high-grade lithium intersections, further expanding the known mineralized dike strike and depth extents. Key Anitta 3 highlights include drill hole DHAB-339, which returned a robust 20.90-meter interval of 1.52% Li₂O from only 82 meters depth, as well as 1.70% Li₂O over 9.00 meters at 162 meters depth. Drill hole DHAB-345 delivered 47.00 meters of 1.44% Li₂O beginning at 59 meters depth. Step-out drilling also delivered strong mineralized widths, including 42.88 meters at 1.32% Li₂O in DHAB-347 from 133 meters depth, plus 9.65 meters of 1.20% Li₂O starting at 223 meters depth. DHAB-354 intersected 11.60 meters of 1.06% Li₂O from 153 meters downhole. DHAB-356 returned 12.55 meters grading 0.96% Li₂O from shallow depths of 29 meters and had a second interval of 1.96% Li₂O over 3.40 meters beginning at 127 meters depth.

At Anitta 4, located to the East of Anittas 2 and 3, recent highlights include drill hole DHAB-353 which intersected 1.41% Li₂O over 7.63 meters from 79 meters depth, and DHAB-362 which returned 6.30 meters grading 1.41% Li₂O from 102 meters depth.

These latest results showcase the potential for significant lithium mineralized zones close to surface with attractive widths for open pit mining. It must be noted that the intercepts listed above are downhole intercept lengths. The true widths will be calculated once topographical location, azimuth angles, and other specifications from these holes are incorporated into their respective 3D geological models. A map of the Neves Project showing six new and promising target areas as well as the four confirmed pegmatite bodies with spodumene mineralization is shown in Figure 1.

Two high-resolution drone- and ground-magnetics geophysics surveys were recently commissioned, with the former already underway. The resulting structural and geological interpretation products will greatly assist in the identification of larger pegmatites and/or key structures that may control the mineralized pegmatites emplacement or their offset.

James Abson, the Company's Chief Geology Officer, commented, "We remain very encouraged by both the widths and grades coming out of our latest drilling campaign results. The recently discovered Anitta 4 mineralized pegmatite cluster is also starting to become more cohesive, with at least two parallel mineralized dikes now being delineated within the swarm. These latest intersects continue to expand the pegmatite body in both down-dip and along-strike orientations."

Mr. Abson continued, "Additionally, our understanding of the relationship between surface soil anomalies and the underlying mineralized pegmatite swarms and clusters has increased. The recently commissioned magnetics geophysics surveys will further enhance this understanding, as we look to uncover further extensions of the high-grade structures of both Anitta 3 and Anitta 4, as well as other promising lithium anomalies at the Neves Project and within our regional mineral rights."
