Atlas Lithium's modular dense media separation (DMS) lithium processing plant enters final fabrication stage.
The innovative modular plant design, first for Brazil's lithium industry, streamlines transportation, installation, and commissioning. The plant's significantly reduced height, weight, and overall physical footprint makes it a premier environmentally-friendly design.
Expedited construction of the modular processing plant is a key step in Atlas Lithium's strategy to rapidly advance to production.
Boca Raton, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2024) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that its modular dense media separation (DMS) lithium processing plant is now in the final stages of fabrication and trial assembly ahead of the anticipated shipment to the Neves project site in Brazil's Lithium Valley. Atlas Lithium remains on track for lithium concentrate production commencing in Q4 2024.
"We are fully committed to becoming a producer of high-quality, environmentally sustainable lithium concentrate," said Brian Talbot, the Company's Chief Operating Officer and a Director. "Our experienced technical team has enabled us to pursue an accelerated development timeline as we rapidly advance towards initiating production in the fourth quarter of 2024. Seeing our modular processing plant entering the final fabrication and trial assembly stages is a major milestone. While the core DMS technology is well-established, the modular design we have adopted is an innovation in Brazil's lithium industry. It will help streamline our path to production and cash flow, while providing a much smaller environmental impact."
Atlas Lithium has designed its processing plant as a series of compact, preassembled modules, an approach that has never before been used for lithium processing in Brazil. This modular configuration reduces the plant's physical footprint compared to traditional designs. It will also enable more efficient transportation, installation, and commissioning of the plant.
