Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report
for the quarter ended 30 September 2025

 Atlantic Lithium concludes negotiations with the Government of Ghana
regarding the fiscal terms of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease and awaits parliamentary ratification


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 30 September 2025.

Highlights

Project Development:

-       The Company has concluded its negotiations with the Government of Ghana regarding revised fiscal terms in respect of the Mining Lease of its flagship Ewoyaa Lithium Project ("Ewoyaa" or the "Project") in Ghana.

The Company engaged key stakeholders to seek a revision of the terms, which were initially agreed when the Mining Lease was granted in October 2023, to ensure that the Project generates returns to shareholders and value for Ghana and Ghanaians in the context of prevailing lithium market conditions.

-       With all of the necessary regulatory approvals secured, the Company now awaits parliamentary ratification of the Mining Lease, which serves as the final step in the Project's permitting process.

-       Parliament reconvened on 21 October 2025; the Mining Lease was mentioned by the Leader of the Majority in his opening address as an outstanding mining lease that the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources would put forward for Parliament to ratify in this parliamentary sitting.

 

Exploration:

-       Post-period end, the Company reported impressive lithium-in-soil results from Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling completed across its 100%-owned Rubino and Agboville exploration licences in Côte d'Ivoire.

Results delineate pronounced lithium-in-soil anomalies, extending over several kilometres, across both licences.

Phase 3 soil sampling at Rubino has extended the previously reported anomalous zone over an increased area of approximately 6.0km by 2.5km, within which there are several distinct linear trends that warrant follow-up evaluation.

Phase 2 results at Agboville have defined a pronounced linear anomaly >5km in length as well as other anomalous linear features; one of which is associated with spodumene pegmatite float discovered by the Company.

-       Further mapping undertaken across the Rubino licence has led to the discovery of new spodumene pegmatite occurrences in rock float, in addition to the previously reported outcrop.

-       The Company has engaged a specialist corporate advisor to commence a formal process to source funding options that are non-dilutive to the Company's shareholders to accelerate the exploration of its licences in Côte d'Ivoire.

 

Corporate:

-       The Company announced binding financing agreements with Long State Investments Ltd1 providing access to up to £28m over a two-year period, with the Company maintaining flexibility and control over the terms of the placements, to advance Ewoyaa towards production.

Under the Share Placement Agreement, the Company completed an initial placing ("Initial Placement") raising £2m through the issue of 24,786,526 shares at an issue price of £0.081 (AUD 0.17) per share ("Placement Price").

The Company is seeking shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 6 November 2025 for the first placement of £500,000 under the Committed Equity Facility Agreement.

-       Further rationalisation of headcount and staff placed on reduced working hours, enabling the Company to focus expenditure on activities that are considered critical to the advancement of the Project towards a Project Final Investment Decision ("Project FID").

-       Cash on hand at end of quarter was A$4.1m.

 

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

"These recent months have proven to be an important period for the Company and the Ewoyaa Lithium Project.

"Having engaged the Government to seek a revision of the fiscal terms of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease, we are pleased to report that these negotiations have now concluded. We believe that Ewoyaa can have a significant positive impact for Ghana and Ghanaians, and we have greatly appreciated the Government's attentiveness through our engagements.

"We are pleased to note the comments made by the Majority Leader in his opening address of the current parliamentary session, in which he stated that the Ewoyaa Mining Lease was among those that the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources would put forward for Parliament to ratify in this session. Having endured a lengthy delay to the development of the Project to-date, we hope that ratification can occur promptly.

"I would like to thank the residents of our affected communities, who have continued to voice their support for the Project throughout these delays and have called for the expedited ratification of the Mining Lease. We are proud to operate in the best interests of our local stakeholders and ratification will move us closer to delivering the significant benefits for the Central Region that Ewoyaa promises.

"Through the agreement of binding funding arrangements with Long State, the Company has secured access to a significant pool of capital over a two-year period, which positions us well to deliver upon the Company's objectives. We welcome Long State's endorsement, which supports the promising direction in which the Company is travelling.

"We are also pleased to have delivered further impressive results from our ongoing exploration programmes within the Agboville and Rubino licences in Côte d'Ivoire. While only at an early stage, the results demonstrate the prospectivity of the two licences, which we believe can support the Company's long-term growth ambitions.

"With a key catalyst ahead of us in the form of the ratification of the Mining Lease, 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.



September Quarter Activities

During the period, the Company continued to advance its flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, through the permitting phase towards production. The Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the Project outlines a low capital and operating cost profile, with near-term production potential.2 The Project is on track 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

Ewoyaa Mining Lease

The Company welcomed comments made by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, in the previous parliamentary session in which he confirmed that Cabinet had authorised that revised terms of the Mining Lease be negotiated and presented for review by Cabinet, and by Parliament thereafter, per the necessary process for parliamentary ratification.

The Company sought a revision of the terms for the Project to terms that reflect prevailing lithium market conditions and that ensure that the Project delivers value for shareholders and long-term benefits for Ghana and Ghanaians. The Company confirms that it has now concluded its negotiations with the Government of Ghana.

With all of the necessary regulatory approvals secured, the Company currently awaits the ratification of the Mining Lease for the Project, which serves as the final step of the permitting process and will enable the Company to advance the financing of the Project.

The current parliamentary session commenced on 21 October 2025. The Mining Lease for the Project was mentioned by the Majority Leader in his opening statement as an outstanding mining lease that the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources would put forward for Parliament to ratify in this parliamentary session.

The Company remains confident that ratification of the Mining Lease will be forthcoming in accordance with due parliamentary process. Shareholders should note, however, that there can be no certainty that Parliament will indeed ratify the Mining Lease.   



 

Exploration

Cô

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).

Soil Sampling

Post-period end, the Company reported the results of Phase 3 soil geochemical sampling completed at Rubino and Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling conducted at Agboville. Soil sampling was undertaken using 100m by 100m spaced grid over the most prospective areas identified by mapping and rock-chip sampling and also over historical mineral occurrences in both licences. Sampling was completed in two phases in each tenement; Phase 2 consisting of 3,235 sample sites (1,594 sites sampled at Agboville and 1,641 sites sampled at Rubino) and Phase 3 consisting of 1,512 sample sites (442 sites sampled at Agboville and 1,070 sites sampled at Rubino).

 

Rubino Licence

Phase 3 lithium-in-soil results have extended the anomalism identified from the previously announced Phase 2 soil grid 3.5km towards the NE, delineating a pronounced lithium-in-soil anomalous zone extending NE-SW continuously across the surveyed area, extending over an area of approximately 6.0km by 2.5km (refer Figure 3).

Within the anomalous zone, the results delineate a long NNE-SSW orientated linear anomaly, which could be associated with the interpreted lithological contact between metasediment and granodiorite; a similar lithological contact relationship that is observed in the distribution of anomalies from the Phase 2 soil grid. Similar, but less well defined, NNE-SSW to N-S trending soil anomalies are evident in the Rubino Phase 2 soil grid. These may be related to N-S to NNE-SSW orientated structural features concealed by the laterite cover and could also host pegmatite intrusions at depth. Several of the distinct NNE-SSW, N-S and NE-SW linear trends identified in the anomalous zone from the Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil results warrant immediate ground follow-up and ultimately sub-surface evaluation by the exploration team.

A close-up of a map AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Figure 3:         Consolidated Rubino Phase 2 and Phase 3 Li (ppm) in soil grid results with spodumene pegmatite discovery sites. Pronounced anomalies are defined by lithium values between 200ppm and a peak value of 806ppm.

 

Agboville Licence

Lithium-in-soil results from the Phase 2 soil grid have defined a pronounced linear anomaly >5km in length trending NE-SW, which follows the interpreted contact between metasediments to the NW and granodiorite intrusive to the SE (refer Figure 4). Other less well-defined anomalous linear features are developed over the granodiorite, one of which is associated with spodumene pegmatite float discovered by the mapping team (refer announcement of 22 May 2025). The Phase 3 lithium-in-soil geochemical response is more subdued; likely to be related to interpreted metasediment host exhibiting deeper weathering and laterite development and some alluvial cover with rice cultivation invalidating certain survey points.

The NE-SW-orientated lithological contacts in both the Rubino and Agboville licences follow the dominant regional tectonic trend in the Birimian of this part of West Africa, which is NE-SW, and a possible structural displacement across these potentially faulted or sheared contacts could host dilatant zones where pegmatite intrusion could be focused in either the schists of the metasediment or within more competent lithology such as the granodiorite.

Figure 4:         Agboville Phase 2 and 3 Li (ppm) in soil grid results. Prominent lithium soil anomalies are defined by values above 200ppm and a peak value of 698ppm.

 

Mapping and rock-chip sampling

Additional geological mapping undertaken by the Company's geologists, continued along reconnaissance traverses and in support of soil sampling and in ground truthing Rubino Phase 2 soil anomalies, has discovered several additional spodumene pegmatite occurrences in the Rubino licence as rock float, with spodumene visually observed in hand specimen despite varying degrees of weathering exhibited.  

Rock-chip samples were collected during mapping and submitted for assay. The elevated assay values of lithium and other elements from these pegmatite rock-chip samples confirm the Company's visual spodumene observations and the prospectivity of the licences.

 

Next Steps

The Company has commenced further mapping across the two licences to continue the evaluation of the anomalies identified in the Phase 2 and 3 soil results. This additional mapping will assist in defining follow-up auger drill programmes to map the source of the anomalies below the laterite at surface, with the intention to define potential reverse circulation and diamond drill targets.

Further, Phase 4 soil sampling across both licences, extending outwards of the Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling programme and across additional prospective areas, is also expected to be planned.

The Company also reported that it has engaged a specialist corporate advisor to commence a formal process to source funding options to accelerate 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 has entered into the following binding financing agreements with Long State Investments Ltd1 ("Long State"), a global investment company specialising in funding growth-orientated companies, to raise up to £28m over a period of 24 months to advance the Project towards production:

1.    A share placement agreement to raise up to £8m (AUD 16.4m) ("Share Placement Agreement").

Under the Share Placement Agreement, the Company completed an initial placing ("Initial Placement") raising £2m through the issue of 24,786,526 shares at an issue price of £0.081 (AUD 0.17) per share ("Placement Price").

The Initial Placement was announced by the Company on 3 September 2025. 50% of the proceeds (£1m / AUD 2.05m) were paid on completion, with the remaining 50% deferred until the trading day immediately after the 80-trading day pricing period. On this date, the Company will also receive or pay a swap amount depending on the movement in the market price of the shares compared to the issue price.

After the Initial Placement, the Company, at its sole discretion, can undertake three additional placings of £2m each ("Subsequent Placements"), provided that the maximum aggregate amount raised under the Share Placement Agreement shall not exceed £8m and provided that the 80-day period in respect of any prior placement under the Share Placement Agreement has passed.

2.    A committed equity facility to raise up to £20m (AUD 41.1m) through placement tranches of shares in the Company ("Committed Equity Facility Agreement" or "Facility").

The Facility is structured so that the timing of any or all drawdowns are entirely at the Company's discretion. Other than in respect of the first placement of £500,000, for which shareholder approval will be sought at the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to be held on 6 November 2025, the Company is not required to draw down on the Facility and there is no minimum amount contemplated. In addition to the first placement of £500,000, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue Warrants and Security Shares under the Committed Equity Facility at the upcoming EGM.

Under the terms of the Facility, the Company may, at its discretion, call (by delivering to Long State a Placement Notice) for Long State to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company at any time over the 24-month period up to a total aggregate placement amount of £20m (AUD 41.1m). The Company may draw in tranches of up to £500,000 at its full discretion, and up to £5m with mutual consent, with Long State retaining the right to increase the amount of the respective placements ("Placement Amount") by up to 15% in its sole discretion. 

Details of the terms of the Share Placement Agreement and Committed Equity Facility Agreement can be found in the announcement dated 3 September 2025.

Cash Conservation

In addition to those reported previously, the Company has taken further steps to reduce ongoing expenditure in light of the delay to the ratification of the Mining Lease for the Project and the subdued lithium market environment.

To this end, the Company made non-recurring payments through the period, which included the following items (refer Figure 6). In Ghana, the Company further rationalised its headcount and placed several full-time employees on reduced work schedules. The cost of the rationalisation totalled AUD 1.11m. The Company also made a payment of AUD 0.37m to Chairman Neil Herbert, relating to outstanding payments for his services that were agreed to be deferred while Mr Herbert was in the position of Executive Chairman. Having assumed the role of Non-Executive Chairman (refer announcement of 11 June 2025), Mr Herbert now receives a reduced fixed remuneration. In line with its reduced headcount in Australia, the lease on the Company's Perth office was also terminated early at a cost of AUD 0.18m.

Excluding these non-recurring costs and the Company's low-cost exploration of its Agboville and Rubino licences in Côte d'Ivoire, which is to ensure the terms of the licences are met, the Company has reduced its spending on activities that are not currently considered critical to the advancement of Ewoyaa towards a Project Final Investment Decision ("Project FID").

Project Joint Venture Arrangements

Under the Project's current funding and joint venture arrangements, Elevra Lithium Limited ("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.

Following the completion of Stage 2, which occurred when the Company released the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the Project (refer announcement of 29 June 2023), Elevra has elected to contribute the first US$70m of Development Costs as defined in the Project Agreement as sole funding to earn a further 27.5%, entitling Elevra to a total 50% of the Company's Project ownership (refer announcement of 17 August 2023). All Development Costs and other Project expenditure ("Other Project Costs") are to be shared equally by the Company and Elevra thereafter.

At the time of this report, the Company is in dispute regarding expenditure for the Project as defined under the Project Agreement with Elevra. Atlantic Lithium believes that Elevra is liable to sole fund Development Costs under the Project Agreement, whilst Elevra denies that it is liable to sole fund Development Costs at this time as the contractual preconditions in the Project Agreement for its sole funding obligation have, in its view, not been met. Up until 30 September 2025, Elevra contributed 50% of Development Costs claimed by the Company but from 1 October 2025, Elevra has reduced its funding to 22.5%, with Development Costs currently being funded by the Company (77.5%) and Elevra (22.5%). The balance of the Development Costs that the Company has claimed from Elevra is in dispute and remains outstanding.

Since September 2022, when Elevra completed its Stage 2 sole funding obligation of US$17m, and up until 31 September 2025, Elevra was jointly funding Other Project Costs as per the Project Agreement (Atlantic Lithium 50% and Elevra 50%). From 1 October 2025, Elevra has reduced its funding to 22.5%, with Other Project Costs currently being funded by the Company (77.5%) and Elevra (22.5%). Atlantic Lithium believes that Elevra is liable to fund 50% of Other Project Costs, whilst Elevra denies that it is liable to jointly fund such Other Project Costs at this time. The balance of the Other Project Costs that the Company has claimed from Elevra remains outstanding.

The Company remains engaged in discussions with Elevra concerning the outstanding amounts and an established process exists within the Project Agreement for resolution including good faith negotiations and referral to arbitration.

During the period of July 2025 to September 2025, Elevra contributed a total of US$1.50m (A$2.29m) towards the funding of the Project and the Company's Ghana portfolio.

 

MIIF Project-level Investment

The Company has been notified by the Minerals Income Investment Fund ("MIIF"), Ghana's sovereign minerals fund, of MIIF's intention to appoint a new nominee director to the Atlantic Lithium Board as per its entitlement under the terms of its Strategic Investment in the Company. MIIF subscribed for 19,245,574 Atlantic Lithium shares for a value of US$5m in January 2024. The Company will update shareholders as and when appropriate.

 

Stakeholder Engagement

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

·    West Africa Mining Security (WAMS) Conference, Accra (30 September - 1 October)

·    Fastmarkets European Battery Raw Materials Conference, Lisbon (16 - 18 September)

·    Africa Down Under, Perth (3 - 5 September)

·    Central Regional Expo, Cape Coast (23 - 30 August)



 

Sustainability

Fire training

During the period, in partnership with the Mfantseman Division of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the Company held an engagement focused on fire prevention, the proper use of firefighting equipment and effective emergency response with students at Methodist Senior High School in Saltpond.

The event featured hands-on demonstrations and education sessions on several fire-related topics, including protocols and steps to be taken ahead of and during a fire. The initiative reflects the Company's commitment to promoting safety in its operations, capacity-building within its local Project-affected communities and demonstrates the Company's support for educational institutions across the catchment area of the Project.

Accordingly, the Company donated fire extinguishers and fire blankets to the school to strengthen its preparedness in the event of an emergency.

Compliance

During the quarter, the Company spent A$4.2m on its exploration, feasibility, and development activities in Ghana. In accordance with the agreement announced on 1 July 2021, exploration and feasibility activities in Ghana are required to be funded 50% by Elevra, following the completion of Stage 2 of its Project investment. Under Stage 3, Elevra has elected to sole fund the first US$70m of Project development expenditure. All Development Costs and other Project expenditure are to be equally shared by both the Company and Elevra thereafter. The Company spent A$0.2m on exploration in Côte d'Ivoire during the quarter.

Per the Initial Placement under the Company's Share Placement Agreement with Long State, 24,786,526 ordinary shares were issued at an issue price of £0.081 (A$0.17) per share on 5 September 2025. The Company has received proceeds of £1.0m (A$2.0m), with payment of the remaining £1.0m (A$2.0m) deferred until the trading day immediately after an 80-trading day pricing period. On this date, the Company will also receive or pay a swap amount depending on the movement in the market price of the shares compared to the issue price.

The Company paid a cash implementation fee of £0.1m (A$0.2m) to Long State, per the terms of the Committee Equity Facility. Long State agreed to apply the implementation fee for the issue of 1,174,288 ordinary shares at an issue price of £0.085 (A$0.17) per share. These ordinary shares were issued on 5 September 2025.

On 3 September 2025, Atlantic Lithium entered into the following agreements with Patras Capital Pte Ltd, the nominated entity of Long State Investments Ltd ("Long State"), a global investment company specialising in funding growth-orientated companies:

• A Share Placement Agreement to raise up to £8 million. After an initial placement of £2 million the Company, at its sole discretion, can undertake three additional placements of £2 million each, over the next two years.

• A Committed Equity Facility to raise up to £20 million through placement tranches of shares of a maximum single amount of £0.5 million in the Company over a period of two years. Each placement may be increased to up to £5 million with Long State's prior consent. Shareholder approval is required for the first tranche of this Committed Equity Facility and to issue Warrants and Security Shares under the facility.  An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is to take place on 6 November 2025.

About Atlantic Lithium

www.atlanticlithium.com.au

Atlantic Lithium is an AIM, ASX, GSE and OTCQX-listed lithium company advancing its flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, a lithium spodumene pegmatite discovery in Ghana, through to production to become the country's first lithium-producing mine.

The Company published a Definitive Feasibility Study in respect of the Project in July 2023, indicating Ewoyaa's strong commercial viability.2 The Project was awarded a Mining Lease in October 2023, an Environmental Protection Authority ("EPA") Permit in September 2024, and a Mine Operating Permit in October 2024 and is being developed under an earn-in agreement with Elevra Lithium Limited.

The Ewoyaa Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC) totals 36.8Mt at 1.24% Li2O and includes 3.7Mt at 1.37% Li₂O in the Measured category, 26.1Mt at 1.24% Li₂O in the Indicated category and 7.0Mt at 1.15% Li₂O in the Inferred category. 2 Ore Reserves (Probable) of 25.6Mt at 1.22% Li2O have been reported for the Project. 2

Atlantic Lithium holds a portfolio of lithium projects within 509km2 and 771km2 of granted and under-application tenure across Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire respectively, which, in addition to the Project, comprises significantly under-explored, highly prospective licences.
