Atlantic Lithium secures parliamentary ratification of the Mining Leasein respect of its Ewoyaa Lithium Project

Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL, ASX: A11, GSE: ALLGH, "Atlantic Lithium" or the "Company"), the Africa-focused lithium exploration and development company targeting the delivery of Ghana's first lithium mine, is pleased to release its Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report for the period ended 31 March 2026.

Highlights

Project Development:

- Ratification of the Mining Lease in respect of the Company's flagship Ewoyaa Lithium Project ("Ewoyaa" or the "Project") by the Parliament of Ghana, representing the Government's formal approval of the proposed Ewoyaa Lithium Mine and Processing Plant.

- The ratified Mining Lease includes a revision of certain fiscal terms, comprising the alignment of the Project's royalty rate and Growth and Sustainability Levy to current legislated rates in Ghana.

Following the expiration of the necessary review period, a new Legislative Instrument, Minerals and Mining (Royalty) Regulations, 2025, which outlines a sliding scale (5.0% - 12.0%) for royalty rates for lithium projects in Ghana, became legally binding.

- Ratification enables the Company to advance discussions relating to Project funding and continue its progress towards a Project Final Investment Decision ("Project FID").

- Work underway to finalise a programme of initiatives focused on the socio-economic development of the Project's affected communities in Ghana's Central Region.

 

Exploration:

- Completion of Phase 4 soil sampling within the Company's wholly-owned Agboville and Rubino licences in Côte d'Ivoire, with results pending.

 

Corporate:

- Secured access to funding of up to a combined value of US$16.4m (AUD 23.1m / £12.2m) through:

A Strategic Investment by a group of Ghanaian pension funds (together, the "Ghanaian Investors") to invest up to c. US$11.0m (AUD 15.5m / £8.2m) in the Company; and

A third placement under the Company's share placement agreement with Long State Investments Ltd ("Long State") to raise US$5.4m (AUD 7.6m / £4.0m).

- Cessation of discussions with an undisclosed entity in respect of a potential corporate transaction, following the receipt of a conditional, non-binding, indicative change of control proposal for the acquisition of 100% of the Company's share capital by way of a scheme of arrangement (the "Proposal").

- Cash on hand at end of quarter was A$13.9m.

 

Commenting, Keith Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium, said:

"Thanks to the commitment of the Atlantic Lithium team over recent years, we are delighted to have secured parliamentary ratification of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease during the period, marking a defining milestone for the Project. The approval, alongside the introduction of the new Legislative Instrument for royalty rates for lithium projects in Ghana, provides the foundations for the Project's development towards becoming the country's first lithium mine.

"The ratification of the Mining Lease enables us to advance discussions with all our partners in the Project relating to Project funding and the establishment of an agreed pathway to Project FID, which will be led by the learnings of the work completed through H2 2025 to identify optimisations to the Project's design and engineering.

"Concurrently, we are taking steps to finalise a programme of activities centred on the socio-economic development of our local communities in the Central Region. Our local stakeholders have remained vocal in their support for the Project, throughout the permitting process and subsequently, and this programme reflects the step-up, post-ratification, of the Company's efforts towards delivering the long-term, sustainable benefits that the Project is expected to deliver for these communities.

"We look forward to providing further updates in due course."

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of MAR.

 

March Quarter Activities

During the period, the Company continued to advance its flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, towards production to become Ghana's first operating lithium mine.

Ewoyaa, located in the pro-mining jurisdiction of Ghana, West Africa, approximately 100km southwest of the capital of Accra, comprises eight main deposits, including Ewoyaa, Okwesikrom, Anokyi, Grasscutter, Abonko, Kaampakrom, Sill and Bypass. The Project is well located to operational infrastructure, including being within 1km of the Takoradi - Accra N1 highway, 110km from the Takoradi deep-sea port and adjacent to grid power (refer Figure 1).

Concurrent to its activities at Ewoyaa, the Company continues to undertake low-cost exploration across the contiguous Agboville and Rubino exploration licences, which are 100% owned through its wholly-owned Ivorian subsidiary Khaleesi Resources SARL ("Khaleesi"), in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Côte d'Ivoire in West Africa.

The Agboville and Rubino licences, which cover 396.89 km² and 374.18 km² respectively, provide the Company with exclusive rights to conduct lithium exploration over highly prospective tenure for lithium discovery.

Leveraging synergies with its existing operations in Ghana, the Company is applying its proven track record of lithium exploration, discovery and evaluation in tropical weathering environments, as demonstrated at Ewoyaa, to its exploration portfolio in Côte d'Ivoire.

Project Development

Ratification of Ewoyaa Mining Lease

In October 2023, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources awarded a Mining Lease in respect of the Project. The Mining Lease provides the Company with exclusive rights to undertake mining and commercial production activities at Ewoyaa for an initial 15-year period, renewable in accordance with Ghanaian legislation.

The Mining Lease was submitted to Parliament and referred to the Select Committee for consideration during the December 2025 quarter. Following a temporary withdrawal from consideration, enabling further consultation to take place between the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources and key stakeholders in relation to Ghana's mining code and the application of royalties, certain fiscal terms of the Mining Lease were amended.

The revised terms, which comprised the alignment of the Project's royalty rate and Growth and Sustainability Levy to current legislated rates in Ghana, were incorporated to ensure that the Project generates returns to shareholders, while maximising socio-economic value for Ghana and Ghanaians, in the context of prevailing lithium market conditions. All other fiscal terms outlined in the Mining Lease granted in October 2023 remain unchanged (refer announcement of 20 October 2023).

The revised Mining Lease was re-submitted for consideration prior to Parliament's adjournment for the festive period in December 2025. Having reconvened in early February, Parliament ratified the Mining Lease on 19 March 2026, becoming the first Mining Lease to be both awarded and ratified for lithium in Ghana.

Ratification constitutes the Parliament of Ghana's formal approval of the proposed Ewoyaa Lithium Mine and Processing Plant, representing a major de-risking milestone in the advancement of the Project towards production.

Prior to the ratification of the Mining Lease, a new Legislative Instrument, Minerals and Mining (Royalty) Regulations, 2025, which was submitted to Parliament at the time of the submission of the revised Mining Lease to Parliament, became legally binding, following the statutory 21-sitting-day review period. The Legislative Instrument introduced a sliding scale royalty regime for lithium projects in Ghana, as outlined below:

Spodumene Price, US$/tonne

Royalty Applicable

Up to US$1,500

5.0%

Between US$1,500 - US$2,300

7.0%

Between US$2,300 - US$3,200

10.0%

Above US$3,200

12.0%

 

Ratification of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease enables the Company to advance discussions relating to Project funding and continue its progress towards Project FID.

 

Project Development Pathway

Through H2 2025, the Company completed work to assess possible options to enhance the viability of the Project through ongoing price volatility. The work is expected to steer the direction of the Project's development and inform the steps to be taken ahead of Project FID.

Led by the findings of this work, the Company has proposed a possible alternative pathway for the Project's development to the Project's Technical Committee (comprised equally of representatives of Atlantic Lithium and Elevra Lithium Limited ("Elevra")), which remains under discussion. The decision to further explore the proposed pathway is subject to unanimous approval by the Technical Committee.

Elevra has stated publicly that Ewoyaa sits lower on its list of priorities in terms of capital deployment and that it wishes to amend the structure of the joint venture with the Company in respect of the Project. The Company is in discussions with Elevra with regards to this matter and is assessing options available to the Company to advance the Project while maximising value for shareholders.

 

Local Socio-economic Development

Following the ratification of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease, the Company is working to finalise a programme of activities focused on enhancing the livelihoods of residents affected by the Project in the Central Region.

Amongst other initiatives, the programme outlines the roll-out of a pipeline of new employment and training opportunities (particularly targeting young adults), the delivery of several infrastructure-related projects (focusing, in particular, on improving access to water, healthcare and supporting local schools), and the finalisation of the parameters of the Community Development Fund, through which a portion of the Project's revenues will be directed towards initiatives that support the socio-economic development of the Project's catchment area communities. The programme will be run alongside a structured calendar of events for local stakeholders, ensuring that all Project-affected residents are updated with progress relating to the Project on a regular basis.

Through the programme, the Company intends to deliver immediate and tangible benefits, as recently evidenced by the water treatment plant and storage system commissioned by the Company in the Ewoyaa community, providing clean, safe water for over 500 people, while laying the foundations to enable generational change for the region.

Accordingly, the Company believes it will more closely align the successful development of the Project with the interests of local stakeholders, further strengthening its social licence to operate.

Exploration

Côte d'Ivoire

The Company is undertaking low-cost exploration at its Agboville and Rubino exploration licences in Côte d'Ivoire concurrent to its advancement of the Project. The licences, which are located c. 80km north of Abidjan, the port and commercial capital of Côte d'Ivoire, are well-serviced with existing infrastructure, including excellent paved highways and an operating railway linking Burkina Faso's capital city of Ouagadougou and the port of Abidjan (refer Figure 2).

Figure 2: Location of the Agboville and Rubino licences held 100% by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Khaleesi Resources SARL in Côte d'Ivoire and existing operational infrastructure.

 

Soil Sampling

During the period, the Company completed its Phase 4 soil geochemical sampling programmes within its Agboville and Rubino licences. Within the Rubino licence, 1,469 sites were sampled from 1,488 planned sites. Within the Agboville licence, 1,041 sites sampled were from 1,054 planned sites. Results from both programmes are pending. Both programmes used an initial 400m by 100m spaced grid to enable the Company's geologists to evaluate a larger area more quickly and at lower cost. Localised infill soil sampling on 200m by 100m or 100m by 100m grids may be warranted to follow up on any anomalies identified, depending on results received.

 

Mapping and rock-chip sampling

Geological mapping continues within both the Agboville and Rubino licences, in parallel with the soil sampling and as traverse and anomaly follow-up mapping, as part of the exploration programme. This mapping will assist in defining follow-up auger drill programmes to map the source of the anomalies below the laterite at surface, intended to support the definition of potential reverse circulation and diamond drill targets.

 

Funding to Accelerate Côte d'Ivoire Exploration

Through the period and subsequently, the Company has continued the formal process to source funding options to accelerate the exploration of its Côte d'Ivoire licences. The process is focused on minority, project-level investment or partnerships that offer funding that is non-dilutive to the Company's existing shareholders.

Corporate

Corporate Funding

During the period, the Company announced that it had secured access to funding of up to a combined value of US$16.4m (AUD 23.1m / £12.2m) to support the advancement of the Project. This comprises:

1. A Strategic Investment by a group of Ghanaian pension funds (together, the "Ghanaian Investors") to invest up to c. US$11.0m (AUD 15.5m / £8.2m); and

2. A placement under the Company's share placement agreement with Long State Investments Ltd ("Long State") to raise US$5.4m (AUD 7.6m / £4.0m).

Strategic Investment by Ghanaian Pension Funds

The Company has entered into binding subscription agreements with the Ghanaian Investors, which are clients to IC Asset Managers (Ghana) Ltd ("ICAMGH"), whereby the Ghanaian Investors have agreed to invest up to c. US$11.0m in the Company through a subscription for ordinary shares in the Company and the issue of milestone-linked warrants ("Strategic Investment").

The agreements with the Ghanaian Investors were facilitated by ICAMGH, a subsidiary of IC Group Limited; an Africa-focused investment banking, securities dealing and investment management firm.

Per the terms of the Strategic Investment, the Ghanaian Investors subscribed for 25,380,709 Atlantic Lithium shares ("Ordinary Share Subscription") at a price of US$0.197 (AUD 0.277 / £0.146) per share ("Ordinary Shares Subscription Price") for a value of US$5.0m (AUD 7.0m / £3.7m).

The ordinary shares issued to the Ghanaian Investors through the Ordinary Share Subscription are being held on the Ghana Stock Exchange. In this way, the Company intends to provide greater opportunity for Ghanaians to participate in the ownership of the Project and support Ghana's lithium production ambitions.

Per the terms of the Strategic Investment, on completion of the Ordinary Share Subscription, the Company also issued a total of 20,270,266 warrants to the Ghanaian Investors at an exercise price of US$0.296 (AUD 0.415 / £0.219) per warrant ("Warrants"), being 50% premium to the Ordinary Shares Subscription Price, for a total value of US$6.0m (AUD 8.5m / £4.5m).

The warrants will become exercisable on the achievement of the following pre-defined milestones (to be made public by way of an ASX announcement), aligned with advancing Ewoyaa towards production:

· 6,081,082 Class A Warrants - exercisable following parliamentary ratification of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease (now completed - refer announcement of 20 March 2026);

· 8,108,102 Class B Warrants - exercisable upon achievement of Project FID; and

· 6,081,082 Class C Warrants - exercisable upon achievement of breaking ground at Ewoyaa.

Of the total number of warrants issued, 6,081,082 Class A Warrants were issued at the same time as the Ordinary Share Subscription. The issue of the 8,108,102 Class B Warrants and 6,081,082 Class C Warrants remains subject to shareholder approval.

The full vesting conditions of the Warrants issued under the Strategic Investment are detailed in the announcement of 17 March 2026.

 

Third Placement under Long State Share Placement Agreement

Alongside the Strategic Investment, the Company also notified Long State to undertake a third placement under the Share Placement Agreement (refer announcement of 3 September 2025) ("Third Placement").

Under the Third Placement, the Company issued 27,379,260 shares ("Third Placement Shares") to Long State1 at an issue price of £0.146 ("Third Placement Price") to raise an additional £4.0m. The Third Placement comprises a combination of the two remaining placements of £2.0m each under the Share Placement Agreement into a single, final £4.0m placement, as mutually agreed with Long State.

The process in respect of the Third Placement aligns with the process for the Initial Placement and Second Placement (refer announcements of 3 September 2025 and 26 November 2025). Accordingly, 50% of the proceeds of the Third Placement (i.e. £2.0m / US$2.7m / AUD 3.7m) were paid on the issue of shares, with the remainder (adjusted for the Swap Amount) to be deferred until the Trading Day immediately after the Pricing Period ("Swap Payment Date").

Upon the completion of the Third Placement, the Company will have fully utilised the £8.0m capacity under the Share Placement Agreement with Long State.

Project Joint Venture Arrangements

Under the Project's current funding and joint venture arrangements, Elevra, formerly Piedmont Lithium Inc, has completed Stage 2 of its investment in the Project, entitling Elevra to an initial 22.5% interest of the Company's Project ownership. From 1 October 2025, Elevra reduced its funding to 22.5%, with all costs currently being funded by the Company (77.5%) and Elevra (22.5%).

At the time of this report, the Company is in dispute regarding expenditure for the Project as defined under the Project Agreement with Elevra. The Company remains engaged in discussions with Elevra concerning the amounts under dispute and an established process exists within the Project Agreement for resolution including good faith negotiations and referral to arbitration.

 

Stakeholder Engagement

The Company attended the following conferences and industry events during the period:

· Mining Indaba, Cape Town (9 - 12 February)

 

 

Sustainability

Engagement with Persons with Disabilities

During the period, the Company held an engagement with persons with disabilities from communities within the Ewoyaa Lithium Project catchment area. Forming part of the Company's ongoing stakeholder consultations in line with the advancement of the Project, the engagement enabled participants to hear the latest developments regarding the Project, ensuring that the Company's progress remains transparent for all stakeholders, and provided an opportunity for participants to voice their views on matters relating to the Project. Through the engagement, the Company continues to promote inclusivity and diversity in Ghana's mining sector, while supporting local employment and driving community development.
