News Releases

Boca Raton, Florida–(Newsfile Corp. – June 17, 2026) – Atlas Lithium Corp. (NASDAQ: ATLX) (“Atlas Lithium” or the “Company”) today announced that Chairman and CEO Marc Fogassa will deliver the Strategic Keynote Presentation opening the first session, “Lithium in Brazil: Building a Competitive Industry,” at the 3rd Brazil Lithium & Critical Minerals Summit 2026, to be held June 17-18 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The summit is recognized as the premier business and investment platform for Brazil’s growing critical minerals sector.

Fogassa’s keynote will highlight how Brazil is building a globally competitive critical minerals supply chain, supported by a stable jurisdiction, established mining infrastructure, and increasing strategic relevance in global markets. “Brazil is emerging as a reliable supplier of the critical minerals that the world needs,” Fogassa said. “As Atlas advances its Neves Lithium Project toward production, we are proud to become an integral part of this supply chain.”

Atlas Lithium is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most strategically positioned lithium developers. The Company controls the largest lithium exploration portfolio in Brazil’s Lithium Valley among publicly listed companies, with its flagship Neves Project advancing toward production.

The Neves Project already holds key permits and demonstrates robust economics, with a Definitive Feasibility Study indicating a 145% internal rate of return (IRR) and an 11-month payback period. Atlas Lithium’s strong positioning has been further validated by a $30 million investment from Mitsui & Co., one of Japan’s leading conglomerates. The Company’s modular lithium processing plant, located in Brazil, is fully permitted and ready for assembly.

Atlas Lithium’s strategic reach extends beyond lithium. Through its approximately 20% ownership in Atlas Critical Minerals Corp. (NASDAQ: ATCX), the Company also maintains exposure to a portfolio of rare earth elements, graphite, and titanium — minerals crucial to the artificial intelligence revolution, the global energy transition, and defense applications. These topics are central to discussions at the 2026 Summit.
