Atlas Lithium Corp. (ATLX:NASDAQ) announced that it remains on track for first commercial production of lithium oxide concentrate in the fourth quarter of 2027 at its 100%-owned, fully permitted Neves Project in Brazil. According to the company, the vertically integrated mining and processing industrial complex is designed to produce approximately 150,000 tonnes of high-quality lithium oxide concentrate annually. Atlas Lithium also said it has received written product interest from multiple companies totaling more than three times its planned production capacity.

The company said the Neves Project is expected to generate more than 5,000 direct and indirect jobs in the Jequitinhonha Valley in Minas Gerais State. Atlas Lithium stated that it prioritizes local hiring and training and that its full-time employees in the region earn, on average, twice the prevailing local wage while receiving healthcare coverage and other benefits that exceed regional standards.

Atlas Lithium highlighted that the project is fully permitted through commercial production and said written product interest exceeds three times its planned production capacity. The company also cited Definitive Feasibility Study economics that include a 145% after-tax internal rate of return, an 11-month payback period, and operating costs of US$489 per tonne. It added that recent on-site work has been carried out with Brazilian engineering and construction firms, including Promon Engenharia for detailed engineering, TSX Engineering for project management, cost control, planning, and risk management, Cerne Construções for engineering, procurement, and construction of facilities, RETC Infraestrutura for earthworks and civil construction, and Alfa Engenharia for electromechanical assembly. According to the company, all partner contracts were finalized at or below Definitive Feasibility Study budget levels.

"We believe the Neves Project ranks among the most capital-efficient lithium developments worldwide, and it is clear that global lithium buyers have taken notice," Marc Fogassa, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Atlas Lithium, said in a company news release. He added, "Our continued progress reflects disciplined and methodical execution across every front, permitting, contracting, and engineering."

Project Development Milestones

According to the company's June 2026 corporate presentation, the Neves Project is supported by a Definitive Feasibility Study that outlines average annual production of 146,000 tonnes of SC5.5 lithium concentrate, average annual plant throughput of 1.1 million tonnes, direct capital expenditures of US$57.6 million, an initial mine life of 6.5 years. The study also reports an after-tax net present value of US$539 million, an 11-month payback period, a 145% after-tax internal rate of return, and product costs of US$489 per tonne.

The presentation states that the Neves Project is fully permitted and that the company has secured the installation license for the plant and Anitta 2 pit, mining concession, water use rights, authorization for vegetation clearance, and expansion environmental license. It also notes that the project uses dry-stacking processing with no tailings dam, is designed to recirculate approximately 95% of its water, and includes environmental offsets within conservation units and restoration of degraded areas. The company says the project is expected to create 237 direct jobs, primarily for processing plant operations, while an estimated 3,000 indirect jobs are expected to be created with a focus on hiring locally. 

The corporate presentation also states that Atlas Lithium's Neves Project is located in Brazil's Lithium Valley and that the company holds 557 square kilometers of lithium mineral rights in the region. In addition to the Neves Project, the presentation identifies upcoming regional expansion at the company's 100%-owned Salinas Project and an additional regional expansion target at its Clear Project.
