Belo Horizonte, Brazil--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2022) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration company focused on lithium and other battery metals critical to powering the green energy revolution, is pleased to announce the arrival of a third diamond core drilling rig at the Abelhas Target in the Neves Area, part of its flagship 100%-owned Minas Gerais Lithium Project ("MGLP"). Two additional diamond core drilling rigs have also been pre-ordered. MGLP encompasses 227 km2 of mineral rights which the Company believes to be the largest such collection in a premier jurisdiction for hard-rock lithium known as "Lithium Valley" in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil.

"This acceleration in our lithium exploration campaign is occurring alongside the positive results already obtained, a summary of which we reported last week," said Marc Fogassa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Lithium. "With an increasing number of active drills, we anticipate faster generation of data required for the next iteration of our technical report. The determination of the mineral resources for lithium at our flagship project is important in the context of the conversations that continue to occur between Atlas Lithium and large enterprises seeking to secure lithium supply."

The Company's exploratory program is supervised by a Qualified Person for lithium in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Modernized Property Disclosure Requirements for Mining Registrants as described in Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K, Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations ("Regulation SK-1300"). Samples from the exploratory drilling campaign are analyzed at SGS Geosol, a well-known independent laboratory. A robust quality control and quality assurance program has been adopted using blank and standard samples as well as field duplicates. All assays are analyzed using a multi-element peroxide fusion ICP-AES on half-core one-kilogram samples. Geochemical data received from each core segment is entered into the Company's geological models of its lithium mineral deposit. Periodically, such information is shared with SLR International, a premier third-party mineral evaluation firm, which has independently authored an initial exploration technical report on lithium at the Company's Neves Area in accordance with Regulation SK-1300.

Atlas Lithium's recent drilling has focused on an area at the Abelhas Target with high grade lithium mineralization ranging from 1.00% Li2O to as high as 3.25% Li2O. Such location remains open for advance in mineralization at northeast, southwest, and in depth. The expanded drilling capacity will be primarily focused on this known high-potential lithium deposit.

The Company's objective is to become a producer of lithium concentrate, a highly sought-after product in the global battery supply chain for electric vehicles (EVs).
