Item 8.01. Other Items

 

As we have previously reported, on October 26, 2024, we received the operational permit for our Neves Project from the government of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. This three-scope permit (known as “LP/LI/LO” in the local regulatory terminology) is the most expeditious licensing modality available as it encompasses the initial, installation, and operating licenses all within this same issued authorization. The permit authorizes us to assemble and operate our lithium processing plant, to process mined ore from one of our deposits at the facility, and to sell the lithium concentrate that we produce. The permit was unanimously approved by a voting board comprised of twelve representatives from the local civil society and government of the state of Minas Gerais on October 25, 2024, and formally published in the official gazette of the Minas Gerais government on October 26, 2024. This outcome followed the technical recommendation for approval issued by the Environmental Foundation of Minas Gerais in September 2024. This key development came after an extensive technical review process that began with our initial permit application on September 1, 2023.

 

On November 25, 2024, we filed an application with the environmental department of the state of Minas Gerais for the expansion of our permit to include certain additional mining pits. Expansion of an existing permit is a relatively common occurrence among mining companies in Brazil. We plan on continuously expanding our permit to accommodate newer pits as they get discovered and quantified.

This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward looking statements are based upon the current plans, estimates and projections of Atlas Lithium and its subsidiaries and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from the forward- looking statements.

Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: results from ongoing geotechnical analysis of projects; ability to receive the necessary permits from the Brazilian regulators; business conditions in Brazil; general economic conditions, geopolitical events, and regulatory changes; 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.
