Final Resource Drilling Results Received New Mineralised Pegmatites Confirmed Ewoyaa Lithium Project Ghana, West Africa

Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL, OTC: ALLIF, ASX: A11 "Atlantic Lithium" or the "Company"), the funded Africanfocussed lithium exploration and development company targeting to deliver Ghana’s first lithium mine, is pleased to announce final assay results from the resource and exploration drilling programme completed at the Ewoyaa Lithium Project (“Ewoyaa” or the “Project”) in Ghana, West Africa.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Final assay results received for a further 10,052m of exploration and infill diamond core (“DD”) drilling and reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling completed at the Ewoyaa Project, part of the now completed resource evaluation and exploration RC and DD programme.

  • Newly reported assay results confirm new mineralised pegmatites at the Grasscutter North, Kaampakrom North and Assan targets, outside the currently defined 30.1Mt @ 1.26% Li 2O Ewoyaa JORC (2012) Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE” or the “Resource”).

  • Multiple high-grade drill intersections reported at the Kaampakrom North, Grasscutter North, Anokyi and Grasscutter West targets, including highlights of:

  • GRC0825: 36m at 1.23% Li2O from 42m

  • GDD0102A: 22.2m at 1.62% Li2O from 73.3m

  • GRC0837: 20m at 1.6% Li2O from 44m

  • GDD0103: 15.1m at 1.24% Li2O from 55.4m

  • GRC0842: 12m at 1.55% Li2O from 93m

  • GRC0839: 13m at 1.35% Li2O from 99m

  • All assay results now reported for the total approximate 47,000m drilling programme completed.

  • Resource upgrade targeted for Q1 2023; to inform Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) targeted for completion mid-2023.

  • Recently announced processing plant FEED engineering contract ( refer RNS of 13 December 2022 ) awarded to Primero to optimise the Project's flow sheet, identify long lead items, maximise the Project's long-term profitability, reduce execution risk and ultimately support the advancement of the Project towards becoming a financially and operationally robust lithium-producing mine.

  • Recently announced Pre-Feasibility Study ( refer RNS of 22 September 2022 ) delivers exceptional financial outcomes for a 2Mtpa operation, producing an average c. 255,000tpa of 6% Li 2O spodumene concentrate (“SC6”) over a 12.5-year operation:

  • LOM revenues exceeding US$4.84bn, Post-tax NPV8 of US$1.33bn, IRR of 224% over 12.5 years

  • US$125m capital cost with industry-leading payback period of <5 months

  • C1 cash operating costs of US$278 per tonne of 6% lithium spodumene concentrate Free on Board (“FOB”) Ghana Port, after by-product credits

  • Average Life of Mine (“LOM”) EBITDA of US$248m per annum

  • 18.9Mt at 1.24% Li2O Maiden Ore Reserve

  • Average annualised US$1,359/dry metric tonne SC6 pricing used

Commenting on the Company’s latest progress, Lennard Kolff, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium, said:

"Drilling continues to deliver high-grade drill intersections outside the current MRE.

“This last batch of results has delivered multiple near-surface drill intersections in new pegmatites defined outside of the resource footprint at the Kaampakrom North and Grasscutter North targets including highlights of 36m at 1.23% Li2O from 42m and 20m at 1.62% Li2O from 44m.

“Drilling has also returned high-grade, near-surface results at the Assan target approximately 3km north-east of the northern-most current pit design including highlights of 6m at 1.49% Li 2O from 66m and 6m at 1.44% Li2O from 45m, demonstrating further potential within the mineralised pegmatite swarm.

“We have now reported all assay results for the approximate 47,000m drilling programme, with a Resource upgrade targeted for Q1 2023 and a DFS targeted for completion mid-2023.

“With the Pre-Feasibility Study delivered, the Mining Licence application submitted, the FEED engineering contract awarded and the funding agreement with our partner Piedmont Lithium in place, we feel the Company is ideally positioned to benefit from the ongoing lithium demand expected over the coming years.”

New Drilling Results:

All remaining assay results have been received for an additional 10,052m of RC and DD drilling from the completed drill programme at the Ewoyaa Project. Multiple high-grade drill intersections are reported for exploration drilling results outside of the currently defined Resource at the Kaampakrom North, Grasscutter North and Assan targets as well as infill and metallurgical holes within the current MRE ( refer Table 1 , Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 ).

Exploration drilling results fall outside the current 30.1Mt at 1.26% Li2O Resource on newly defined pegmatites at the Kaampakrom North, Grasscutter North and Assan targets and demonstrates further resource scale potential at the Ewoyaa Project ( refer Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ).

Exploration drilling results confirm near-surface mineralisation on newly defined pegmatites within trucking distance of the currently defined mine design. Furthermore, new drilling results demonstrate a further 3km strike extension of prospective lithium pegmatite vein swarms towards the north-east of the current project footprint ( refer Figure 1 ).

Sample preparation was completed by Intertek Ghana and assay by Intertek Perth with all reported results passing QA/QC protocols, providing confidence in reported results.

Appendix - ‘JORC Code 2012 Table 1’ Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

The following extract from the JORC Code 2012 Table 1 is provided for compliance with the Code requirements for the reporting of Exploration Results.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases
more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure
of detailed information.

RC drill holes were routinely sampled at 1m intervals
with a nominal 3-6kg sub-sample split off for assay
using a rig-mounted cone splitter at 1m intervals.

DD holes were quarter core sampled at 1m intervals
or to geological contacts for geochemical analysis.

For assaying, splits from all prospective ore zones
(i.e., logged pegmatites +/- interburden) were sent for
assay. Outside of these zones, the splits were
composited to 4m using a portable riffle splitter.

Holes without pegmatite were not assayed.

Approximately 5% of all samples submitted were
standards and coarse blanks. Blanks were typically
inserted with the interpreted ore zones after the
drilling was completed.

Approximately 2.5% of samples submitted were
duplicate samples collected after logging using a
riffle splitter and sent to an umpire laboratory. This
ensured zones of interest were duplicated and not
missed during alternative routine splitting of the
primary sample.

Prior to the December 2018 - SGS Tarkwa was used
for sample preparation (PRP100) and subsequently
forwarded to SGS Johannesburg for analysis; and
later SGS Vancouver for analysis (ICP90A).

Post December 2018 to present – Intertek Tarkwa
was used for sample preparation (SP02/SP12) and
subsequently forwarded to Intertek Perth for analysis
(FP6/MS/OES - 21 element combination Na2O2
fusion with combination OES/MS).

ALS Laboratory in Brisbane was used for the
Company’s initial due diligence work programmes
and was selected as the umpire laboratory since
Phase 1. ALS conducts ME-ICP89, with a Sodium
Peroxide Fusion. Detection limits for lithium are
0.01-10%. Sodium Peroxide fusion is considered a
“total” assay technique for lithium. In addition, 22
additional elements assayed with Na2O2fusion, and
combination MS/ICP analysis.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).

Five phases of drilling were undertaken at the Project
using RC and DD techniques. All the RC drilling used
face sampling hammers.

Phase 1 and 2 programmes used a 5.25-inch
hammers while Phase 3 and 5 used a 5.75-inch
hammer.

All DD holes were completed using PQ and HQ core
from surface (85mm and 63.5mm).

All DD holes were drilled in conjunction with a Reflex
ACT II tool; to provide an accurate determination of
the bottom-of-hole orientation.

All fresh core was orientated to allow for geological,
structural and geotechnical logging by a Company
geologist.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have

A semi-quantitative estimate of sample recovery was
completed for the vast majority of drilling. This
involved weighing both the bulk samples and splits
and calculating theoretical recoveries using assumed
densities. Where samples were not weighed,
qualitative descriptions of the sample size were

occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
recorded. Some sample loss was recorded in the
collaring of the RC drill holes.

DD recoveries were measured and recorded.
Recoveries in excess of 95.8% have been achieved
for the DD drilling programme. Drill sample recovery
and quality is adequate for the drilling technique
employed.

The DD twin programme has identified a positive
grade bias for iron in the RC compared to the DD
results.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologicaly
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining
studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

All drill sample intervals were geologically logged by
Company geologists.

Where appropriate, geological logging recorded the
abundance of specific minerals, rock types and
weathering using a standardised logging system that
captured preliminary metallurgical domains.

All logging is qualitative, except for the systematic
collection of magnetic susceptibility data which could
be considered semi quantitative.

Strip logs have been generated for each drill hole to
cross-check geochemical data with geological
logging.

A small sample of washed RC drill material was
retained in chip trays for future reference and
validation of geological logging, and sample reject
materials from the laboratory are stored at the
Company’s field office.

All drill holes have been logged and reviewed by
Company technical staff.

The logging is of sufficient detail to support the
current reporting of a Mineral Resource.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including for instance results for field duplicate/second-
half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.

RC samples were cone split at the drill rig. For
interpreted waste zones the 1 or 2m rig splits were
later composited using a riffle splitter into 4m
composite samples.

DD core was cut with a core saw and selected half
core samples dispatched to Nagrom Laboratory in
Perth for preliminary metallurgical test work.

The other half of the core, including the bottom-of-
hole orientation line, was retained for geological
reference.

The remaining DD core was quarter cored for
geochemical analysis.

Since December 2018, samples were submitted to
Intertek
Tarkwa
(SP02/SP12)
for
sample
preparation. Samples were weighed, dried and
crushed to -2mm in a Boyd crusher with an 800-
1,200g rotary split, producing a nominal 1,500g split
crushed sample, which was subsequently pulverised
in a LM2 ring mill. Samples were pulverised to a
nominal 85% passing 75µm. All the preparation
equipment was flushed with barren material prior to
the commencement of the job. Coarse reject
material was kept in the original bag. Lab sizing
analysis was undertaken on a nominal 1:25 basis.
Final pulverised samples (20g) were airfreighted to
Intertek in Perth for assaying. •

The pulps were submitted for analysis by Sodium
peroxide fusion (Nickel crucibles) and Hydrochloric
acid to dissolve the melt. Analysed by Inductively
Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (FP6MS) /
Inductively
Coupled Plasma Optical
(Atomic)
Emission Spectrometry (FP6/OE). The analytical
suite consisted of Al, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cs, Fe, K, Li, Mg,
Mn, Nb, P, Rb, S, Si, Sn, Sr, Ta and Ti.

The vast majority of samples were drilled dry.
Moisture content was logged qualitatively. All

intersections of the water table were recorded in the
database.

Field sample duplicates were taken to evaluate
whether
samples
were
representative
and
understand repeatability, with good repeatability.

Sample sizes and laboratory preparation techniques
were appropriate and industry standard.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether
the technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie
lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Analysis for lithium and a suite of other elements for
Phase 1
drilling was
undertaken at
SGS
Johannesburg / Vancouver by ICP-OES after
Sodium Peroxide Fusion. Detection limits for lithium
(10ppm – 100,000ppm). Sodium Peroxide fusion is
considered a “total” assay technique for lithium.

Review of standards and blanks from the initial
submission to Johannesburg identified failures
(multiple standards reporting outside control limits).
A decision was made to resubmit this batch and all
subsequent batches to SGS Vancouver – a
laboratory considered to have more experience with
this method of analysis and sample type.

Results of analyses for field sample duplicates are
consistent with the style of mineralisation and
considered to be representative. Internal laboratory
QAQC checks are reported by the laboratory,
including sizing analysis to monitor preparation and
internal laboratory QA/QC. These were reviewed and
retained in the company drill hole database.

155 samples were sent to an umpire laboratory (ALS)
and/assayed using equivalent techniques, with
results demonstrating good repeatability.

ALL’s review of QAQC suggests the SGS Vancouver
and Intertek Perth laboratories performed within
acceptable limits.

No geophysical methods or hand-held XRF units
have been used for determination of grades in the
Mineral Resource.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections were visually field verified by
company geologists and Shaun Searle of Ashmore
during the 2019 site visit.

Drill hole data was compiled and digitally captured by
Company geologists in the field. Where hand-written
information was recorded, all hardcopy records were
kept and archived after digitising.

Phase 1 and 2 drilling programmes were captured on
paper or locked excel templates and migrated to an
MS Access database and then into Datashed
(industry standard drill hole database management
software). The Phase 3 to 5 programmes were
captured using LogChief which has inbuilt data
validation protocols. All analytical results were
transferred digitally and loaded into the database by
a Datashed consultant.

The data was audited, and any discrepancies
checked by the Company personnel before being
updated in the database.

Twin DD holes were drilled to verify results of the RC
drilling programmes. Results indicate that there is
iron contamination in the RC drilling process.

Reported drill hole intercepts were compiled by the
Chief Geologist.

Adjustments to the original assay data included
converting Li ppm to Li2O%.
Location of data

surveyors. Once validated, the survey data was
uploaded into Datashed.

RC drill holes were routinely down hole surveyed
every 6m using a combination of EZ TRAC 1.5
(single shot) and Reflex Gyroscopic tools.

After the tenth drill hole, the survey method was
changed to Reflex Gyro survey with 6m down hole
data points measured during an end-of-hole survey.

All Phase 2 and 3 drill holes were surveyed initially
using the Reflex Gyro tool, but later using the more
efficient Reflex SPRINT tool. Phase 4 and 5 drill
holes were surveyed using a Reflex SPRINT tool.

procedure(s)
and
classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

The RC holes were initially drilled on 100m spaced
sections and 50m hole spacings orientated at 300° or
330° with dips ranging from -50° to -60°. Planned
hole orientations/dips were occasionally adjusted
due to pad and/or access constraints.

Hole spacing was reduced to predominantly 40m
spaced sections and 40m hole spacings. Holes are
generally angled perpendicular to interpreted
mineralisation orientations at the Project.

Samples were composited to 1m intervals prior to
estimation.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

The drill line and drill hole orientation are oriented as
close as practicable to perpendicular to the
orientation of the general mineralised orientation.

Most of the drilling intersects the mineralisation at
close to 90 degrees ensuring intersections are
representative of true widths. It is possible that new
geological
interpretations
and/or
infill
drilling
requirements may result in changes to drill orientations
on future programmes.

No orientation based sampling bias has been
identified in the data.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Samples were stored on site prior to road
transportation by Company personnel to the SGS
preparation laboratory.

With the change of laboratory to Intertek, samples
were picked up by the contractor and transported to
the sample preparation facility in Tarkwa.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

Prior to the drilling programme, a third-party Project
review was completed by an independent consultant
experienced with the style of mineralisation.

In addition, Shaun Searle of Ashmore reviewed
drilling and sampling procedures during the 2019 site
visit and found that all procedures and practices
conform to industry standards.

Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.

Historical trenching and mapping were completed by
the Ghana Geological survey during the 1960’s. But
for some poorly referenced historical maps, none of
the technical data from this work was located. Many
of the historical trenches were located, cleaned and
re-logged. No historical drilling was completed.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of
mineralisation.

Pegmatite-hosted lithium deposits are the target for
exploration. This style of mineralisation typically
forms as dykes and sills intruding or in proximity to
granite source rocks.

Surface geology within the Project area typically
consists of sequences of staurolite and garnet-
bearing pelitic schist and granite with lesser
pegmatite and mafic intrusives. Outcrops are
typically sparse and confined to ridge tops with
colluvium and mottled laterite blanketing much of the
undulating terrain making geological mapping
challenging. The hills are often separated by broad,
sandy drainages.
Drill hole
information
A summary of all information material to the under-
standing of the exploration results including a tabulation
of the following information for all Material drill holes:
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception depth
hole length
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the
basis that the information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should clearly explain
why this is the case.

All information has been included in the appendices.
No drill hole information has been excluded.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths
of high-grade results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

All intersections are reported at a 0.4% Li20 cut-off with
maximum 4m of internal pegmatite dilution and no
internal waste lithologies whether schist or granite.

No top-cut is applied as lithium pegmatites are a bulk
industrial mineral.

No metal equivalent values are being reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

close to 90 degrees to the orientation of the
anticipated mineralised orientation as practicable.

mineralisation between 60 and 80 degrees.

Where drilling has drilled down-dip of a known
pegmatite, it is reported as such.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported. These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Relevant plans and selected cross-sections have
been included within the release.
Balanced
Reporting

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.

All hole collars were surveyed WGS84 Zone 30 North
grid using a differential GPS. All RC and DD holes
were down-hole surveyed with a north-seeking
gyroscopic tool.

All exploration results are being reported.
Other
substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.

Drill hole intersections were calculated from drill hole
assay data, with geological logging used to aid
interpretation of mineralised contact positions.

No other exploration data are being reported.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests
for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-
scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.

Drilling results for a planned infill and extensional
drilling programme are being reported.

Follow up RC and DD drilling may be undertaken
once all results from the drilling programme are
reviewed; either along strike or down-dip of the
known pegmatites.

Drill spacing is currently considered adequate for the
current level of interrogation of the Project.
