Commenting, Keith Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium, said:

"During the period, the Company made further progress towards de-risking the funding and development of its Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana.

"Pursuant to the terms of the SID, through which it is proposed that Huayou will acquire the issued securities of the Company in an all-cash transaction, as announced on 7 May 2026, the Company continues to work with Huayou towards the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to enable implementation of the Scheme. To this end, the Company announced that the Foreign Investment Review Board notified Huayou that it had no objection to the Scheme, representing the completion of a key, non-waivable condition precedent of the SID.

"The Company also advises that the First Court Hearing for the Scheme has now been scheduled for 5 November 2026. At the hearing, the Company will seek approval to convene a meeting of shareholders to consider and vote on the Scheme, and to approve the dispatch of the Scheme Booklet to shareholders. Shareholders are advised to read the Scheme Booklet in its entirety before making any decision in relation to the Scheme.

"The Company continues to work to satisfy the remaining conditions precedent, which include regulatory approvals, approval by the requisite majority of Atlantic Lithium shareholders at the Scheme Meeting and approval by the Supreme Court of Western Australia.

"The Company is also pleased to note the completion of the Novation Agreement between Elevra and Huayou post-period end. Following the completion, Huayou assumes Elevra's prior rights and obligations in respect of the Company's portfolio of lithium projects in Ghana, which includes Ewoyaa. Accordingly, subject to and pursuant to the Project Agreement and relevant supplementary agreements, Huayou will begin sole funding the Project's development costs up to the remainder of the US$70 million sole-funding obligations under Stage 3 of the Project Agreement. We warmly welcome Huayou as the Company's new partner at this critical juncture of the Project's development.

"We look forward to providing further updates in due course."

September Quarter Activities

During the period, the Company continued to advance its flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, towards production to become Ghana's first operating lithium mine, while progressing the conditions precedent, as defined in the Scheme Implementation Deed ("SID"), in support of the proposed acquisition of the Company.

Ewoyaa, located in the pro-mining jurisdiction of Ghana, West Africa, approximately 100km southwest of the capital of Accra, comprises eight main deposits, including Ewoyaa, Okwesikrom, Anokyi, Grasscutter, Abonko, Kaampakrom, Sill and Bypass. The Project is well located to operational infrastructure, including being within 1km of the Takoradi - Accra N1 highway, 110km from the Takoradi deep-sea port and adjacent to grid power (refer Figure 1).

Figure 1:         Location of the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, Ghana

 

Concurrent to its activities at Ewoyaa, the Company continues to undertake low-cost exploration across the contiguous Agboville and Rubino exploration licences, which are 100% owned through its wholly-owned Ivorian subsidiary Khaleesi Resources SARL, in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Côte d'Ivoire in West Africa.

The Agboville and Rubino licences, which cover 396.89 km² and 374.18 km² respectively, provide the Company with exclusive rights to conduct lithium exploration over highly prospective tenure for lithium discovery.

Leveraging synergies with its existing operations in Ghana, the Company is applying its proven track record of lithium exploration, discovery and evaluation in tropical weathering environments, as demonstrated at Ewoyaa, to its exploration portfolio in Côte d'Ivoire.



Corporate

Scheme Implementation Deed

Scheme Overview

On 7 May 2026, the Company announced that it had entered into a SID with major new energy materials company Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Limited ("Huayou"), under which it is proposed that Huayou will acquire all of the issued shares in Atlantic Lithium by way of an Australian scheme of arrangement for cash consideration of US$0.25486 per share (A$0.354 per share / £0.188 per share)1 ("Scheme Consideration") (the "Scheme" or "Transaction").

The Scheme Consideration values the Company at approximately US$210 million (approximately A$292 million and £155 million) and represents a 26.6% premium to Atlantic Lithium's closing price of A$0.280 per share on 6 May 2026 and a 21.8% premium to Atlantic Lithium's 30-day VWAP of A$0.291 (£0.154) per share up to and including 6 May 2026.

The Company's Board entered into the Transaction, in consultation with its advisers, after carefully assessing the valuation, funding, timing and execution certainty of the Transaction against other strategic options available to the Company. After considering the development risks, risk of raising project finance, joint venture arrangements, future shareholder dilution, and timeline associated with the development of the Project, the Board concluded that the Transaction represents the most attractive, certain, and accelerated realisation of value on a risk-adjusted basis versus other strategic alternatives and, therefore, the best outcome for Atlantic Lithium shareholders.

FIRB Approval

During the period, the Company announced that the Australian Treasury had provided written notification to Huayou under section 75 of the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) that the Commonwealth Government of Australia has no objection to the Scheme.

Accordingly, the condition precedent under clause 3.1(a) of the SID relating to the approval by the Foreign Investment Review Board ("FIRB Approval") has been satisfied.

Scheme Conditions

The Scheme remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of other conditions precedent, including other regulatory approvals, approval by the requisite majority of Atlantic Lithium shareholders at the Scheme Meeting and approval by the Supreme Court of Western Australia.

The Company continues to work with Huayou to advance the various conditions precedent.

Further detail in relation to the conditions precedent will be set out in the Scheme Booklet.

Recommendation of the Atlantic Lithium Board

The Atlantic Lithium Board continues to unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert concluding (and continuing to conclude) that the Scheme is in the best interests of Atlantic Lithium shareholders. Subject to those same qualifications, each member of the Atlantic Lithium Board intends to vote all Atlantic Lithium shares held or controlled by them in favour of the Scheme.

Timetable

The First Court Hearing for the Scheme is currently scheduled for 5 November 2026 in the Supreme Court of Western Australia. At the hearing, the Company will seek orders from the Court to convene a meeting of Atlantic Lithium shareholders to consider and vote on the Scheme ("Scheme Meeting") and to approve the dispatch of the Scheme Booklet, which contains the reasons for the unanimous recommendation of the Atlantic Lithium Board, the Independent Expert's Report and the Notice of Scheme Meeting, to shareholders. If the Court makes these orders, the Scheme Booklet will be registered with ASIC and released on ASX, AIM and GSE before being dispatched to Shareholders.

The Company will update the market on the outcome of the First Court Hearing and confirm the timetable for the Scheme Meeting and the Second Court Hearing.

Atlantic Lithium encourages shareholders to read the Scheme Booklet in full when it is made available before deciding how to vote on the Scheme.

 

Novation Agreement

Subsequent to the announcement of the SID, the Company announced that it had provided its consent under an agreement for Elevra Lithium Limited ("Elevra"), formerly Piedmont Lithium Inc, to sell all of its rights and interests in respect of the agreements related to Ewoyaa ("Project Agreement") to Huayou ("Novation Agreement").

Post-period end, the Company announced that it had been advised by Huayou that it had received confirmation from Ghana's Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources that it had no objection to Huayou becoming a controller of the relevant Singaporean and Ghanaian entities connected with the Company's portfolio of lithium projects in Ghana ("Ghana Portfolio").

Following the completion of the Novation Agreement, Huayou now holds the rights to a 22.5% interest in the Ghana Portfolio, which includes the Project, and assumes Elevra's prior spodumene concentrate offtake rights and other rights and obligations under the Project Agreement.

As a result of the completion, Huayou has agreed that the development costs conditions precedent under the Project Agreement are deemed to be satisfied or otherwise waived. Accordingly, subject to and pursuant to the Project Agreement and relevant supplementary agreements, Huayou will begin sole funding the Project's development costs up to the remainder of the US$70 million sole-funding obligations under Stage 3 of the Project Agreement (being US$66 million), through which Huayou will earn a further 27.5% in the Ghana Portfolio (to take its total interest to 50%), with all costs shared equally between the Company and Huayou thereafter.

The Company warmly welcomes Huayou as its new joint venture partner and looks forward to working collaboratively to advance the Project towards development. With Huayou's extensive technical expertise, financial capabilities and established track record in developing and operating mining projects across Africa, the Company believes that the partnership represents a significant step forward in unlocking the Project's considerable potential.

Women's Health and Well-being Programme

In collaboration with the Mfantseman Municipal Health Directorate and the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, the Company delivered an engagement programme focused on women's health and well-being across communities in the catchment area of the Project.

The sessions reached over 800 participants, predominantly comprising women and girls aged 11 and above, alongside a number of men who participated to strengthen their awareness and understanding of women's health and related issues. The programme covered reproductive health, menstrual and physical hygiene, gender-based violence and access to support, with the aim of addressing misconceptions, raising awareness of rights and encouraging positive behavioural change. Approximately 1,600 sanitary packs were distributed to women and girls as part of the programme.

Atlantic Lithium is an AIM, ASX and GSE-listed lithium company advancing its flagship project, the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, a lithium spodumene pegmatite discovery in Ghana, through to production to become the country's first lithium-producing mine.

The Parliament of Ghana ratified the Mining Lease in respect of the Project in March 2026. The Project was granted an Environmental Protection Authority ("EPA") Permit in September 2024 and a Mine Operating Permit in October 2024.

The Company published a Definitive Feasibility Study in respect of the Project in July 2023.2 The Project is being developed under an earn-in agreement with Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Ltd.

The Ewoyaa Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC) totals 36.8Mt at 1.24% Li2O and includes 3.7Mt at 1.37% Li₂O in the Measured category, 26.1Mt at 1.24% Li₂O in the Indicated category and 7.0Mt at 1.15% Li₂O in the Inferred category.2 Ore Reserves (Probable) of 25.6Mt at 1.22% Li2O have been reported for the Project.2

Atlantic Lithium holds a portfolio of lithium projects within 509km2 and 771km2 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.
