Atlas Lithium Granted Priority Review for Neves Project Permitting
Belo Horizonte, Brazil–(Newsfile Corp. – June 26, 2023) – Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading mineral exploration company, is pleased to announce that on June 21, 2023, the State of Minas Gerais in Brazil provided the Company with written notice granting its Neves lithium project (the "Project") priority status for review of its environmental permitting and licensing. Atlas Lithium believes that this development could meaningfully expedite the permitting and licensing of its Project by potentially shortening the timeline of such a process by up to several months.
Marc Fogassa, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented, "This is an important development as permitting and licensing are critical for any mineral exploration company that intends to become a producer such as in our case. Our petition for priority review was granted because our lithium project had a technically robust application that scored high marks in multiple important criteria for the State of Minas Gerais."
