Atlantic Lithium granted mine operating permit for Ewoyaa project

The Minerals Commission has awarded Atlantic Lithium a mine operating permit for its flagship Ewoyaa lithium project in the Central Region.

This permit represents the final regulatory approval needed before the company can begin construction of the project, which includes both the Ewoyaa lithium mine and the processing plant.

Executive Chairman of Atlantic Lithium, Neil Herbert, described the permit's issuance as a significant milestone in the permitting process.

"This marks a critical step for the Ewoyaa Lithium Project and is the final regulatory approval we need to commence construction," he said.

Mr. Herbert also expressed anticipation for the parliamentary ratification of the Ewoyaa mining lease, which is expected during the upcoming parliamentary session resuming on October 15, 2024.

"With our sights set on achieving first production of lithium in Ghana, we hope the ratification can occur soon, paving the way for the construction and operation of this globally significant lithium project," he added.

Atlantic Lithium, focused on lithium exploration and development in Africa, aims to deliver Ghana's first lithium mine as it awaits the necessary parliamentary approval.
