# Atlas Moves Forward Ahead of Brazil Conference

Atlas Lithium Corp. (NASDAQ: ATLX) today announced that CEO Marc Fogassa will deliver the Strategic Keynote Presentation opening the first session, "Lithium in Brazil: Building a Competitive Industry," at the 3rd Brazil Lithium & Critical Minerals Summit 2026, to be held today and tomorrow in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The summit is recognized as the premier business and investment platform for Brazil's growing critical minerals sector.

Fogassa's keynote will highlight how Brazil is building a globally competitive critical minerals supply chain, supported by a stable jurisdiction, established mining infrastructure, and increasing strategic relevance in global markets.

"Brazil is emerging as a reliable supplier of the critical minerals that the world needs," Fogassa said. "As Atlas advances its Neves Lithium Project toward production, we are proud to become an integral part of this supply chain."

Atlas Lithium is rapidly emerging as one of the world's most strategically positioned lithium developers. The Company controls the largest lithium exploration portfolio in Brazil's Lithium Valley among publicly listed companies, with its flagship Neves Project advancing toward production.

The Neves Project already holds key permits and demonstrates robust economics, with a Definitive Feasibility Study indicating a 145% internal rate of return (IRR) and an 11-month payback period. Atlas Lithium's strong positioning has been further validated by a $30 million investment from Mitsui & Co., one of Japan's leading conglomerates.

ATLX shares took on 12 cents, or 3.1%, to $3.97.
