Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) has received the operational permit for its Neves Project from Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The permit, unanimously approved by a twelve-member voting board, authorizes the company to assemble and operate its lithium processing plant, process mined ore, and sell lithium concentrate. This triphasic permit (LI/LP/LO) combines initial, installation, and operating licenses in a single authorization, following a fourteen-month technical review process that began on September 1, 2023. The permit represents a important milestone in Atlas Lithium's path to becoming a lithium producer and is expected to create hundreds of local jobs in the Vale do Jequitinhonha area.
