NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of Business

 

Atlas Lithium Corporation (together with its subsidiaries “Atlas Lithium.” the “Company”, “the Registrant”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on December 15, 2011. The Company changed its management and business on December 18, 2012, to focus on mineral exploration in Brazil.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in United States dollars. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; its 99.99% owned subsidiary, Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda. (“Atlas Brasil”), which includes the accounts of Atlas Brasil’s 99.99% owned subsidiary, Hercules Resources Corporation (“HRC”), which includes the accounts of HRC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Hercules Brasil Comercio e Transportes Ltda. (“Hercules Brasil”); its 45.11% equity interest in Apollo Resources Corporation (“Apollo Resources”) and its subsidiaries Mineração Apollo, Ltda., Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“MDB”) and RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. (“RST”); and its 27.42% equity interest in Jupiter Gold Corporation (“Jupiter Gold”), which includes the accounts of Jupiter Gold’s subsidiary, Mineração Jupiter Ltda. The Company has concluded that Apollo Resources, Jupiter Gold and their subsidiaries are variable interest entities (“VIE”) in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance. As such, the accounts and results of Apollo Resources, Jupiter Gold and their subsidiaries have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $22,008 and $30,116, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $1,086 and $16,717, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of mining rights which are not amortized as the mining rights are perpetual. The carrying value of these mineral rights as of September 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022 was $5,911,516 and $4,971,267, respectively.

The mineral right is located in the municipalities of Araçuaí and Itinga, in a region known as “Lithium Valley” in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The Company’s obligations under the Acquisition Agreement as revised are:

 

	●	Payment of $400,000, which payment took place on January 19, 2023, and
	●	Issuance of $750,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock of the Company which took place on February 1, 2023;

 

As of September 30th, 2023, there are no outstanding commitments related to this transaction.

The transaction contemplated under the Purchase Agreement closed simultaneously on May 2, 2023, whereby the Company Subsidiary sold to LRC in consideration for $20,000,000 in cash, a royalty interest equaling 3% of the gross revenue (the “Royalty”) to be received by the Company Subsidiary from the sale of products from certain 19 mineral rights and properties that are located in Brazil and held by the Company Subsidiary.

 

On the same day, the Company Subsidiary and LRC entered into a Gross Revenue Royalty Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company Subsidiary granted LRC the Royalty and undertook to calculate and make royalty payment on a quarterly basis commencing from the first receipt of the sales proceeds with respect to the products from the Property. The Royalty Agreement contains other customary terms, including but not limited to, the scope of the gross revenue, the Company Subsidiary’s right to determine operations, and LRC’s information and audit rights. Under the Royalty Agreement, the Company Subsidiary also granted LRC an option to purchase additional royalty interest with respect to certain additional Brazilian mineral rights and properties on the same terms and conditions as the Royalty, at a total purchase price of $5,000,000.

 

NOTE 4 – OTHER NONCURRENT LIABILITIES

On July 18, 2022, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) adopted resolutions to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-750 without affecting the number of shares of authorized common stock (the “Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split”). The holder of the majority voting power of our voting stock (the “Majority Stockholder”) approved the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split by written consent on July 18, 2022, in lieu of a meeting of stockholders as permitted under the Nevada Revised Statute (“NRS”) Section 78.320(2) and the company’s bylaws, as then amended (the “Bylaws”). For additional information on the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split, refer to the Definitive Information Statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) on July 29, 2022 (the “2022 Information Statement”) and the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on December 22, 2022, both available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

 

On December 20, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (“SOS”) that was intended to effect the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split (the “Original Articles Amendment”). In April 2023, the Board of Directors determined (i) that the Original Articles Amendment inaccurately stated that the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split was obtained by a stockholder vote under NRS 78.390, while approval of the stockholders was required under NRS 78.2055, with the holders of common stock voting as a separate class; and (ii) that the Original Articles Amendment was a nullity in that, under Nevada law, filing an amendment to articles of incorporation is not necessary to effectuate a reverse stock split. As a result, the Board of Directors determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to take corrective action to remedy the inaccuracy and to file the documents that would have been necessary to effectuate a 1-for-750 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding common stock with a corresponding split of the authorized common stock (the “Rectified Reverse Stock Split”) and then immediately thereafter increase the number of shares of authorized common stock back to the number it was prior to the Rectified Reverse Stock Split as of December 20, 2022.

 

Pursuant to the action of the Company’s board of directors by unanimous written consent on April 21, 2023, the board of directors authorized and approved (i) the Certificate of Correction to correct the Original Articles Amendment (the “Certificate of Correction”), and (ii) the Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) including the Certificate of Validation of the Certificate of Change (the “Change Validation Certificate”) in order to decrease the number of shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and correspondingly decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock, each at a ratio of 1-for-750, retroactively effective as of December 20, 2022, without a vote of the stockholders. The board of directors also directed that the Company file the Certificate of Correction with the SOS and thereafter file the Certificate of Change including the Change Validation Certificate with the SOS. Pursuant to the NRS, no stockholder approval for this action was required. On May 25, 2023, the Company filed the Certificate of Correction and Certificate of Change including the Change Validation Certificate with the SOS, as also reported in Exhibits 3.2 and 3.1, respectively, to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on May 25, 2023.

 

To carry out the original intent of the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split and in light of the correction, ratification and validation of the Rectified Reverse Stock Split as described above, the Company’s Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder approved on April 21, 2023 the Authorized Capital Increase Amendment to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 5,333,334 shares to 4,000,000,000 shares retroactively as of December 20, 2022, in accordance with the board’s and stockholders’ original intent in effecting the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split.

 

Further, the Board of Directors determined that it was advisable and in the best interests of the Company to amend and restate the Company’s articles of incorporation (as amended to date, the “Current Articles”) to decrease the number of shares of authorized common stock to two hundred million (200,000,000) and to amend certain other provisions in the Company’s Current Articles (the “Amended and Restated Articles”). The Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder determined to decrease the number of shares of our authorized common stock in order to reduce the number of shares available for issuance given that the large number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance may have a perceived negative impact on any potential future efforts to attract additional financing due to the dilutive effect of having such a large number of shares available for issuance. On April 21, 2023, the Company’s board of directors and the Majority Stockholder approved the Amended and Restated Articles. Following the effectiveness of the Certificate of Correction and the Certificate of Change including the Change Validation Certificate filed with the SOS, on May 25, 2023, the Company filed the Amended and Restated Articles, as also reported in Exhibit 3.3 of the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on May 26, 2023.

NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

 

The foregoing corporate actions were disclosed in the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”) filed by the Company with the Commission on May 2, 2023. As also contemplated in the Information Statement, on May 25, 2023, the Company also filed with the SOS a Certificate of Withdrawal of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Certificate of Withdrawal of Designation of the Series C Convertible Preferred (collectively, the “Certificates of Withdrawal”).

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 4,000,000,000 common shares authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. Pursuant to the vote by a written consent dated April 21, 2023, of the Company’s Majority Stockholder, entitled to 51% of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting stock, the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock was decreased to 200,000,000 shares. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 200,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

In connection with the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split, as corrected by the Rectified Reverse Stock Split, the Company effectuated as of December 20, 2022 a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-750 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Following the Reverse Stock Split, each 750 shares of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock were automatically converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration was paid. Instead, we issued one whole share of the post-split common stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As rectified, the Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of shares of authorized stock. All share, equity award, and per share amounts contained in these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

On December 18, 2012, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) to designate one share of a new series of preferred stock.

The one outstanding share of our Series A Stock has been held by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Mr. Marc Fogassa since December 18, 2012.

 

Series D Preferred Stock

 

On September 16, 2021, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Stock”) to designate 1,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock. The Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D COD”) provides that for so long as Series D Stock is issued and outstanding, the holders of Series D Stock shall have no voting power until such time as the Series D Stock is converted into shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Series D COD one share of Series D Stock is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock and may be converted at any time at the election of the holder. Giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split discussed above, each share of Series D Stock is effectively convertible into 13 and 1/3 shares of common stock. Holders of the Series D Stock are not entitled to any liquidation preference over the holders of common stock and are entitled to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company on a pro rata basis.

Currency Risk

 

We operate primarily in Brazil which exposes us to currency risks. Our business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs to the time payments are made may result in it receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at the time of the original activity.

 

Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary’s financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting in the consolidated financial statements. Our foreign subsidiaries translate their financial results from the local currency into U.S. dollars in the following manner: (a) income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period; (b) balance sheet asset and liability accounts are translated at end of period exchange rates; and (c) equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation in this manner affects the shareholders’ equity account referred to as the foreign currency translation adjustment account. This account exists only in the foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar balance sheets and is necessary to keep the foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets in agreement.

Overview

 

Atlas Lithium Corporation is a mineral exploration and development company with lithium projects and multiple lithium exploration properties. In addition, we own exploration properties in other battery minerals, including nickel, rare earths, graphite, and titanium. Our current focus is the development from exploration to active mining of our hard-rock lithium project located in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil at a well-known, premier pegmatitic district in Brazil, which has been recently denominated by the government of Minas Gerais as “Lithium Valley”. We intend to mine and then process our lithium-containing ore to produce lithium concentrate (also known as spodumene concentrate), a key ingredient for the battery supply chain.

 

We are in the initial planning stages of planning to develop and own 100% of a processing facility capable of producing 300,000 tons of lithium concentrate annually. However, there can be no assurance that we will have the necessary capital resources to develop such facility or, if developed, that we will reach the production capacity necessary to commercialize our products and with the quality needed to meet market demand.

 

All of our mineral projects and properties are located in Brazil and our mineral rights portfolio for battery minerals includes approximately 75,542 acres (306 km2) for lithium in 61 mineral rights, 137,883 acres for nickel (558 km2) in 37 mineral rights, 30,009 acres (121 km2) for rare earths in seven mineral rights, 22,050 acres (89 km2) for titanium in seven mineral rights, and 13,766 acres (56 km2) for graphite in three mineral rights. We believe that we hold the largest portfolio of exploration properties for battery minerals in Brazil, a premier and well-established mining jurisdiction.

 

We are primarily focused on advancing and developing our hard-rock lithium project located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Our Minas Gerais Lithium Project (“MGLP”) is our largest project and consists of 54 mineral rights spread over 59,275 acres (240 km2) and predominantly located within the Brazilian Eastern Pegmatitic Province which has been surveyed by the Brazilian Geological Survey and is known for the presence of hard rock formations known as pegmatites which contain lithium-bearing minerals such as spodumene and petalite.

 

We believe that we can increase our value by the acceleration of our exploratory work and quantification of our lithium mineralization. Our initial commercial goal is to be able to enter production of lithium concentrate, a product which is highly sought after in the battery supply chain for electric vehicles.

 

We also have 100%-ownership of early-stage projects and properties in other minerals that are needed in the battery supply chain and high technology applications such as nickel, rare earths, graphite, and titanium. We believe that the shift from fossil fuels to battery power may yield long-term opportunities for us not only in lithium but also in such other minerals.

 

Additionally, we have 100%-ownership of several mining concessions for gold and diamonds, two of which also include industrial sand. As our lithium properties became our corporate focus, we stopped alluvial gold and diamond exploration efforts in 2018 and the sale of our industrial sand in 2022.

 

In addition to these projects, we own 45.11% of the shares of common stock of Apollo Resources, a private company primarily focused on the development of its initial iron mine.

 

We also own approximately 27.42% of the shares of common stock of Jupiter Gold, a company focused on the exploration of two gold projects and a quartzite mine, and whose common stock are quoted on the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol “JUPGF.” The quartzite mine started operations in June 2023.

 

Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold have not generated any revenues to date. The results of operations from both Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold are consolidated in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP.”

 

 

Operational Update

 

Exploration Campaign

 

Our ongoing drilling campaign is delineating the lithium resources of our 100%-owned Neves Project, a cluster of four lithium mineral rights within MGLP. Our current geological team is comprised of 13 geologists, eleven of which are employed full-time. To support the work of our geologists we have 25 full-time field and support technicians and machinery operators. Our geological team and our exploration campaign is supervised by Volodymyr Myadzel, Ph.D., a Qualified Person for lithium as such term is defined in Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission (“Regulation S-K 1300”).

 

We have engaged SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”), and, in particular, their geologist Marc-Antoine Laporte, a Qualified Person for lithium under Regulation S-K 1300, to produce a mineral resource estimate report (the “Maiden Resource Report”) for our Neves Project in accordance with Regulation S-K 1300. Mr. Laporte is the author of mineral resource reports for two other companies which have hard-rock lithium projects in Lithium Valley, the general area where our Neves Project is located, and has worked on lithium properties in Lithium Valley since 2017. Mr. Laporte visited our Neves Project between May 4 and May 6, 2023. The Maiden Resource Report is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2024.

 

The Maiden Resource Report will update and replace our previously filed SLR International Corporation’s technical report summary entitled “S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Das Neves Lithium Project” (the “Initial Exploration Report”), with an effective date of August 10, 2022, and a signature date of August 31, 2022. The Initial Exploration Report presented recommendations to us on further steps necessary for the delineation of the lithium resources at our Neves Project. At the time of the Initial Exploration Report, we had one drill on site and 1,213 meters drilled in total. Currently, we have 10 active drills operating and have drilled, as of September 30, 2023, an aggregate of 58,497 meters. The current drilling campaign pace is approximately 7,500 meters drilled per month.

 

At our Neves Project, our current focus is drilling within and around our flagship pegmatite, “Anitta,” a 2.3-kilometer formation which remains open along strike and at depth, and has been proven to contain spodumene, a key lithium-bearing mineral.

Our drilling and sampling follow strict best practices established under QA/QC protocols. All lithium samples are analyzed at SGS-Geosol, the premier analytical laboratory used by reputable mining companies in Brazil. Normally geochemical results are obtained from SGS-Geosol three weeks after submission of the samples for analysis.

 

Metallurgical Report

 

On April 24, 2023, we announced the receipt of the metallurgical report (the “Metallurgical Report”) from SGS for studies performed over several months on a representative ore sample from our Neves Project. The Metallurgical Report showed that a very high grade of 7.22% was achieved for heavy liquid separation. Commercial-grade lithium concentrate was obtained from our representative sample using standard dense media separation, a gravity-based approach which does not use any harmful chemicals or flotation. The Metallurgical Report also showed final lithium concentrate grading of 6.04% Li2O with only 0.53% Fe2O3, and a lithium recovery of 70%. Our desired target was the production of concentrate grading 6.0% Li2O with less than 1.0% Fe2O3, and these targets were exceeded. SGS has been providing testing and analytical services to the mining industry since 1941 and has earned the reputation as a leading provider of metallurgical services.

 

The Metallurgical Report will become a chapter in the Maiden Resource Report described above. The Metallurgical Report also allows SGS to begin work towards a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Neves Project which is a technical study expected to be issued after the Maiden Resource Report.

 

Business Development

 

Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

 

On January 18, 2023, we announced that we had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) with respect to Mitsui’s potential interest in acquiring the right to purchase our future lithium concentrate production. Mitsui is one of the world’s most diversified comprehensive trading, investment, and service enterprises. Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Mitsui maintains a global network of 128 offices in 63 countries and regions.

 

In general terms, the MOU contemplates potential funding from Mitsui to us of up to $65 million (the “Offtake Funding”), in tranches and subject to the achievement of specific milestones acceptable to Mitsui, that would give Mitsui the right to buy up to 100% of our future production from our planned plant with output capacity of 150,000 tons of lithium concentrate per year (the “Plant”). The Offtake Funding would be primarily used by us for the construction of the Plant. Lithium concentrate produced by the Plant would then be available for purchase by Mitsui at a price generally based on the then-prevailing market price. The MOU is non-binding and non-exclusive for both companies. During the three months ending September 30, 2023, we continued to engage in discussions with Mitsui regarding progress toward achieving the milestones set forth in the MOU.

 

 

Lithium Royalty Corp.

 

On May 2, 2023, we and Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda. (the “Company Subsidiary”), entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lithium Royalty Corp., a Canadian company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“LRC”), whereby the Company Subsidiary sold to LRC in consideration for $20,000,000 in cash, a royalty interest equaling 3% of the future gross revenue (the “Royalty”) to be received by the Company Subsidiary from the sale of products from certain 19 mineral rights and properties that are located in Brazil and held by the Company Subsidiary.

 

On the same day, the Company Subsidiary and LRC entered into a Gross Revenue Royalty Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company Subsidiary granted LRC the Royalty and undertook to calculate and make royalty payment on a quarterly basis commencing from the first receipt of the sales proceeds with respect to the products from the Property. The Royalty Agreement contains other customary terms, including but not limited to, the scope of the gross revenue, the Company Subsidiary’s right to determine operations, and LRC’s information and audit rights. Under the Royalty Agreement, the Company Subsidiary also granted LRC an option to purchase additional royalty interest with respect to certain additional Brazilian mineral rights and properties on the same terms and conditions as the Royalty, at a total purchase price of $5,000,000.

 

The principals at LRC are known for their experience in the lithium industry. As part of LRC’s due diligence, Mr. Ernie Ortiz, LRC’s President and CEO, visited our Neves Project between April 5, 2023, and April 7, 2023.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Three Months Ended September 30, 2023, Compared to the Three Months ended September 30, 2022

 

Net loss attributable to Atlas Lithium Corporation stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2023, totaled $11,279,475 compared to a net loss of $1,028,192 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in loss is mainly due to:

 

	●	Higher general and administrative expenses in the period due to legal fees, traveling expenses and the cost of D&O insurance for the quarter;
	●	Increased compensation costs related to the increase in employee headcount and bonus paid to management;
	●	Stock-based compensation increase due to the increase in our common stock share price and new members of the management team;
	●	Higher exploration expenses for the period due the execution of the drilling program on our 100% owned Minas Gerais Lithium Project.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months ended September 30, 2022

 

Net loss attributable to Atlas Lithium Corporation stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, totaled $24,372,062, compared to a net loss of $2,430,698 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in loss is mainly due to

 

	●	Higher general and administrative expenses in the period due to approximately $1,030,000 in non-recurring transaction costs associated with our Offering in January 2023 in connection with the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market., including increased legal fees, travelling and D&O insurance expenses.
	●	Higher compensation costs due to the increase in employee headcount and bonus paid to management
	●	Stock-based compensation increase due to the increase in our common stock share price and new members of the management team; and
	●	Higher exploration expenses for the period due the execution of the drilling program on our 100% owned Minas Gerais Lithium Project.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22,857,357 and net working capital, including cash, of $20,280,909.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $3,314,979 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash used of $258,293 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $3,573,272 or 1,383%. The increase in net cash generated by operating activities was mainly due to:

 

	●	Royalty sale of 3% of the gross revenue for $20,000,000. (refer to discussion in Note 3);
	●	Increase of our lithium exploration program costs of $11,633,434
	●	Nasdaq listing, non-recurrent expenses of approximately $1,030,000;
	●	Increase in compensation expenses due to the increase of management and exploration teams.

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1,521,977 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash used of $2,573,826 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing a reduction in cash used of $1,051,849 or 41% due to purchases of intangible assets that occurred in the first nine months of 2022

 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $20,822,531 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $3,188,736 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase in cash provided of $17,633,795 or 553%. The increase is mainly due to:

 

	●	The Offering that closed on January 12, 2023, with aggregate gross proceeds of $4,657,500.
	●	Execution of a Securities Purchase Agreement with two investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a Regulation S private placement an aggregate of 640,000 restricted shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The purchase price for the Shares was $6.25 per share, for total gross proceeds of $4,000,000.
	●	The sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, of an aggregate of 192,817 shares of our common stock to Triton Funds, L.P for total gross proceeds of $1,675,797 pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement entered between us and Triton Funds, LP
	●	The sale during the three months ended September 30, 2023, of an aggregate of 526,317 shares of our common stock to four investors (the “Investors”) for total gross proceeds of $10,000,023 pursuant to a Private Placement Agreement entered between us and the Investors.

 

For further information on the transactions mentioned above, please refer to Note 5 – stockholders´ equity.

 

We have historically incurred net operating losses and have not yet received material revenues from the sale of products or services.

 

Our primary sources of liquidity have been derived through proceeds from the (i) issuance of debt and (ii) sales of our equity and the equity of one of our subsidiaries and (iii) sale of royalty interest. For example, on January 12, 2023, we completed a firm underwritten public offering of 776,250 shares of our common stock (which includes the shares subject to the over-allotment option, exercised by the underwriter in full), for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,657,500 (prior to deducting any underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses). On January 30, 2023, and on July 18, 2023, we raised an aggregate of $4 million and $10 million, respectively, in gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock in transaction exempt under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Lastly, on May 2, 2023, in connection with entering into the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Company received a cash payment of $20,000,000 (see discussion in Note 3 related to the Royalty Purchase Agreement). We believe our cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months through September 2024.

 

On August 25, 2023, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Commission, which was amended on September 8, 2023 and declared effective on September 18, 2023 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Shelf Registration Statement, which includes a base prospectus, is a source of liquidity that allows us at any time to offer an aggregate of up to $75,000,000 of common stock and/or preferred stock in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, we would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement for general corporate purposes, including the development and commercialization of our products, general and administrative expenses, and working capital and capital expenditures.

 

Our future short- and long-term capital requirements will depend on several factors, including but not limited to, the rate of our growth, our ability to identify areas for mineral exploration and the economic potential of such areas, the exploration and other drilling campaigns needed to verify and expand our mineral resources, the types of processing facilities we would need to install to obtain commercial-ready products, and the ability to attract talent to manage our different business activities. To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to scale back our existing operations and growth plans, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects and could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

(d) Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constrains and that management is required to apply judgement in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements regarding current expectations, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, about our future results of operations and financial position; our ability to effectively process our minerals and achieve commercial grade at scale; risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in exploring, developing, constructing and operating mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions); our ability to derive any financial success from the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in December 2022; uncertainty about our ability to obtain required capital to execute our business plan; uncertainties inherent in budgeting, including budgets relating to our mineral exploration activities and our ability to realize a return on funds committed to exploration and evaluation; our ability to hire and retain required personnel; changes in the market prices of lithium and lithium products and demand for such products; the uncertainties inherent in exploratory, developmental and production activities, including risks relating to permitting, zoning and regulatory delays related to our projects; and uncertainties inherent in the estimation of lithium resources and commercial viability of mineral deposits. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions Factors that could cause future results to materially differ from the recent results or those projected in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits, but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production; market fluctuations; government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection; competition; the loss of services of key personnel, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Marc Fogassa; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of infrastructure as well as general economic conditions, geopolitical events; availability of capital; Atlas Lithium’s ability to maintain its competitive position; manipulative attempts by short sellers to drive down our stock price; and dependence on key management.

 

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the factors described under the section in this Quarterly Report titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as factors described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in each of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,2023 and our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and other filings we make with the Commission. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
