CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Our disclosure and analysis in this Current Report on Form 8-K for Atlas Lithium Corporation (the “Company”) contains some forward-looking statements. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties.

 

Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.

 

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this filing to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.

 

You are advised to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, or their successors. Other factors besides those discussed in this Current Report could also adversely affect us.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 19, 2023, the Company consummated a transaction in which it acquired five lithium mineral rights (the “Mineral Rights”) totaling 1,090.88 hectares (~ 2,696 acres) owned by an unrelated Brazilian mining enterprise pursuant to a Mineral Rights Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The Mineral Rights are located in the municipalities of Araçuaí and Itinga, in a region known as “Lithium Valley” in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The Company’s technical team studied the Mineral Rights and believes that they hold potential for lithium-bearing mineralization. The Company has reasons to believe that the acquisition of the Mineral Rights was part of a competitive process.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Acquisition Agreement are:

 

a)	Payment of $400,000, which payment took place on January 19, 2023, and issuance of $750,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock of the Company;
b)	Payment of $100,000 for each of the five areas comprising the Mineral Rights to be made upon the publication in the official gazette of the government of the title transfer of each such area to the Company;
c)	For each of the five areas comprising the Mineral Rights, 30 days after the payment described in item b above, the initiation of ten monthly payments of $22,000;
d)	If the Mineral Rights eventually yield at least five million tons of spodumene (a lithium-bearing mineral) containing at least an average of 1.3% Li2O, as determined by a technical report prepared by an independent consulting firm pursuant to the requirements of Item 1300 through Item 1305 of Regulation S-K (“SK1300 Report”), then an additional payment of 10 monthly installments of $10,000 and an additional issuance of $500,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock of the Company are to be made;
e)	If the Mineral Rights eventually yield at least 10 million tons of spodumene containing at least an average of 1.3% Li2O, as determined by an SK1300 Report, then an additional payment of 10 monthly installments of $10,000 and an additional issuance of $500,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock of the Company are to be made; and
f)	If the Mineral Rights eventually yield more than 10 million tons of spodumene containing at least an average of 1.3% Li2O, as determined by an SK1300 Report, then a payment of $0.20 per each ton above 10 million tons is to be made.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The shares of common stock referred to herein will be issued without registration pursuant to an exemption afforded under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
