Atlantic Lithium has halted activity at its Ewoyaa Lithium project in the Central Region following a fatal accident on Tuesday.
A statement issued by the company on Wednesday (10 July), said authorities have been notified and an investigation is underway to establish the circumstances that led to the incident.
Atlantic Lithium is an AIM and ASX-listed lithium company advancing its flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, a significant lithium spodumene pegmatite discovery in Ghana, through to production to become the country’s first lithium-producing mine.
The Definitive Feasibility Study for the Project indicates the production of 3.6Mt of spodumene concentrate over a 12-year mine life, making it one of the largest spodumene concentrate mines in the world.
The Project, which was awarded a Mining Lease in October 2023, is being developed under an earn-in agreement with Piedmont Lithium Inc.
Atlantic Lithium holds a portfolio of lithium projects within 509km2 and 774km2 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.
