Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 26, 2023, Atlas Lithium Corporation issued a press release related to the matters discussed in Item 8.01 herein. The press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 21, 2023, the State of Minas Gerais in Brazil provided Atlas Lithium Corporation (the “Company”) with written notice granting its Neves lithium project (the “Project”) priority status for review of its environmental permitting and licensing. This development follows the vote of the Economic Development Group (the “EDG”) of the Secretariat for Economic Development of the State of Minas Gerais during a meeting held on June 6, 2023, approving the Company’s request that its Project be from now on analyzed by the Superintendence of Priority Projects (known locally as “SUPPRI”). EDG determined that the environmental licensing process, the analysis of which is necessary to determine the proper progress of the Company’s Project, shall be considered a priority for the social and economic development of the State of Minas Gerais because it obtained a high score according to a matrix of specific technical criteria implemented by local regulations.
The Company believes that this development could meaningfully expedite the permitting and licensing of its Project by potentially shortening the timeline of such a process by up to several months. For additional information related to the Company’s Project, please refer to the periodic reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023, and other filings the Company makes with the SEC from time to time.
