Current report
In 2025, we received our dense media separation lithium processing plant (the “DMS Plant”), which was designed to produce approximately 150,000 tons of lithium concentrate per annum (“tpa”). Our DMS Plant represents a cornerstone of our Neves Project, designed to deliver high-quality lithium concentrate to the global market for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems. With worldwide lithium demand growing, we are positioned to emerge as a key contributor to the sustainable energy transition.
Current report
During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to advance our flagship Neves Project toward production while achieving several important strategic and corporate milestones. Work items related to project implementation continued to progress, with particular emphasis on finalizing the project management framework that the Company will utilize to oversee construction execution and the coordination of third party service providers.
Current report
On April 27, 2026, we announced that four key operational partners had been selected for the implementation of the Neves Project after a process that lasted several months in which multiple qualified firms participated in a competitive selection process led by our technical team. Contracts were awarded based on a comprehensive evaluation of relevant criteria, including technical experience, proven performance, quality, and cost efficiency. Each awarded contract was finalized at or below the budget projections outlined in our Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). Each of these four companies brings a strong track record of performance and deep experience in Brazil’s mining sector.
Current report
In addition to the key firms mentioned above, our technical team is rapidly advancing the selection of additional operational partners during the second quarter of 2026 for remaining scopes of the Neves Project implementation, as detailed in the DFS.
Current report
On January 9, 2026, the common stock of our subsidiary Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (“Atlas Critical Minerals”) commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “ATCX,” which we announced by press release on January 14, 2026. Atlas Critical Minerals controls more than 218,000 hectares of mineral rights in Brazil, with projects in rare earths, titanium, graphite, uranium, including a revenue-generating iron ore operation that commenced shipments in late 2025. Atlas Lithium Corporation currently holds an approximate 20% ownership stake in Atlas Critical Minerals, which we believe provides our shareholders with diversified exposure to a broader portfolio of critical minerals while allowing our management team to maintain its focus on advancing the Neves Project. More details about Atlas Critical Minerals are available on its website at www.atlascriticalminerals.com and in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Current report
On April 2, 2026, we announced that our 100%-owned Neves Project had been named in the Joint Fact Sheet for Japan-U.S. Critical Minerals Project Cooperation (the “Joint Fact Sheet”), released on March 20, 2026 by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (“METI”) together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (“MOFA”). The Neves Project is the only Brazil-based lithium project named in the Joint Fact Sheet, which states that the Government of Japan and the Government of the United States are considering financial support for the purpose of development of the Neves Project. The Joint Fact Sheet followed the U.S.-Japan Critical Minerals Investment Ministerial held on March 14, 2026 in Tokyo, as well as the summit held between Japan’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, and U.S. President, Donald Trump, on March 19, 2026. This recognition builds upon our existing strategic partnership with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., which made a US$30 million strategic investment in Atlas Lithium common shares in March 2024 and entered into an offtake agreement for the purchase of lithium concentrate from the Neves Project.
Current report
On April 7, 2026, we announced the appointment of Admiral Flávio Augusto Viana Rocha, a former Cabinet member of the Brazilian Government, to our board of directors as an independent director. Admiral Rocha is a distinguished Brazilian leader with over 43 years of experience in strategy, governance, logistics, and international relations, including official government missions to more than 50 countries. From 2020 to 2022, he held the Minister-level position of Chief of the Secretariat for Strategic Affairs of the Presidency of Brazil, where he led the development of Brazil’s National Long-Term Policy and National Strategic Agenda, including the National Energy Policy. We believe Admiral Rocha’s experience will be valuable as we continue to advance the Neves Project and strengthen our position within the global critical minerals landscape.

Market Update
Current report
Lithium market conditions continued to improve during the first quarter of 2026, supported by accelerating growth in the energy storage systems (“ESS”) segment — particularly for grid-scale applications and power for data centers — alongside continued robust demand for electric vehicles worldwide. These demand drivers were reinforced by ongoing supply disruptions, including production constraints impacting Chinese lepidolite operations and export restrictions affecting Zimbabwean spodumene producers, which together tightened global supply availability. These dynamics created a favorable backdrop for the continued improvement in lithium prices observed during the quarter. Consistent with this environment, we have received written indications of interest from several parties seeking to secure long-term supply arrangements for our future lithium concentrate production.

The Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Current report
Net cash used by operating activities totaled $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash used of $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $6.2 million. The increase in net cash used by operating activities was mainly due to higher general and administrative expenses. See the section entitled “Results of Operations”above.
Current report
Foreign Currency
Current report
Until December 31, 2025, with the exception of Atlas Brazil, our foreign subsidiaries (all based in Brazil) used a local currency (Brazilian Reais) as the functional currency. Resulting translation gains or losses were recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company determined that, as of January 1, 2026, the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Brazilian subsidiaries operate.
Current report
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries changed their functional currency from Brazilian Reais to U.S. Dollars due to a shift in the underlying economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiaries’ operations and financing activities. In particular, our subsidiary Atlas Critical Minerals listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading on the Nasdaq on January 9, 2026. As a result of such listing and the attendant access to U.S. capital markets, the U.S. Dollar is the primary currency through which we and our Brazilian subsidiaries expect to raise any additional capital.
Current report
In accordance with ASC 830, the change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from the date of change. As a result:

Neves Lithium Project
Previous report
The Neves Project main mineral right received “Portaria de Lavra” (mining concession) status from Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy on May 27, 2025, representing the highest level of mineral titleship in Brazil and authorizing continuous mining operations.
Previous report
On August 4, 2025, the Company announced the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) for the Company’s 100%-owned Neves Project by SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”), prepared under the supervision of Marc-Antoine Laporte, a qualified person as defined in Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.
Previous report
Following publication of its DFS, the Company is focusing on a careful process of soliciting and analyzing competitive proposals from potential third party vendors for all items anticipated to be required to develop the Neves Project through commissioning and production, including but not limited to, plant assembly, construction of facilities and internal roads, pre-stripping and open pit mining. The Company’s team is evaluating candidate suppliers based on both cost and quality parameters, with the aim of potentially reducing capital expenditures for the Neves Project from the $57.6 million estimated in the Company’s DFS. The Company’s dense media separation plant is fully paid and is in Brazil awaiting assembly. The Company has invested approximately $30 million in acquiring and transporting the newly fabricated dense media separation plant to Brazil. The DFS supports the technical robustness of utilizing proven DMS processing technology, with comprehensive metallurgical testing demonstrating an expected lithium recovery rate of 61.7%.
Previous report
On August 14, 2025, the Minas Gerais state agency responsible for permitting applications issued an extensive technical report recommending approval of the Company’s expansion permit application (“Expansion Application”) filed in November 2024. On August 28, 2025, a civil action related to the Company’s Expansion Application was filed by N’Golo (“NGO”), a non-governmental organization known for filing claims against mining projects, having filed 29 such claims in the last six years. The action was filed in the federal court located in Teofilo Otoni, Brazil (the “Court”), alleging that the Company did not conduct a consultation with Girau, a traditional community (the “Community”). The Company believes the NGO’s action is without any merit. In an affidavit dated September 3, 2025, the Community repudiated the NGO claim with the President of the Community association and a large number of its members stating that: i) the NGO had never visited the Community and does not represent the wishes of the Community; and ii) the Company had fully consulted with the Community. Prior to the Expansion Application, the Company had retained a team of six experts including an anthropologist and a social scientist to consult with the Community. On May 9, 2024, the State of Minas Gerais, through one of its departments, issued a report stating that the Company had satisfied the consultation with the Community. On October 1, 2025, in a Court filing, the Brazilian federal government, through one of its agencies, reaffirmed that the State of Minas Gerais has the appropriate authority and autonomy on matters related to the Company’s consultation. Based on currently available information, the Company does not expect this proceeding to prevent the issuance of the expansion permit or to cause material delay to the development of the Neves Project. The critical path for the development of the Neves Project consists of planning and procurement activities, including the solicitation of third-party proposals as described above, which are continuing uninterrupted.
Previous report
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company increased its cash reserves to $21.0 million which provides great flexibility during the current period of softer lithium prices.

We have historically incurred net operating losses and have not yet generated material revenues from the sale of products or services. As a result, our primary sources of liquidity have been derived through proceeds from the sales of our equity and the equity of one of our subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.0 million and working capital of $17.2 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents $15.5 million and working capital of $10.6 million as of December 31, 2024. We believe our cash and equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. However, our future short- and long-term capital requirements will depend on several factors, including but not limited to, the rate of our growth, our ability to identify areas for mineral exploration and the economic potential of such areas, the exploration and other drilling campaigns needed to verify and expand our mineral resources, the successful installation of our lithium processing facilities, and our ability to attract talent. To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to scale back our existing operations and growth plans, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects and could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
