The Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources responsible for Mines, George Mireku Duker, has called on all mining stakeholders and traditional authorities to actively support and ensure the sustainability of Atlantic Lithium Limited in Ghana.
He said, their support will not only trigger the economic progress in the Central region but also benefit the youth in the community and Ghana at large.
The Deputy Minister made the call when he led a delegation from the Ministry and the Minerals Commission on a working visit to the site of Atlantic Lithium on Tuesday 30th July, 2024 in the Mankessim Municipality of the Central Region.
below are some pictures from the visit:
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.
