TR-1 Notification of Major Holdings

Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL, ASX: A11, OTCQX: ALLIF, "Atlantic Lithium" or the "Company"), the African-focused lithium exploration and development company targeting to deliver Ghana's first lithium mine, wishes to advise that the Company has received the following two TR-1 notifications from major shareholders Assore International Holdings Limited ("Assore") and Piedmont Lithium Inc. ("Piedmont").

The voting rights of Assore and Piedmont now sit at 28.4% and 5.2%, respectively, of the total issued capital of the Company.

Commenting, Neil Herbert, Executive Chairman of Atlantic Lithium, said :

"As the Company's largest shareholder, we believe that Assore's purchase of Atlantic Lithium shares at a premium to the current price, increasing their holding to 28.4%, reflects their belief in the substantial value potential that, together with Piedmont, we intend to unlock at the Ewoyaa Lithium Project."

About Atlantic Lithium

www.atlanticlithium.com.au

Atlantic Lithium is an AIM and ASX-listed lithium company advancing a portfolio of lithium projects in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire through to production.

The Company's flagship project, the Ewoyaa Project in Ghana, is a significant lithium spodumene pegmatite discovery on track to become Ghana'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 top 10 largest spodumene concentrate mines in the world.

The Project, which was awarded a Mining Lease in October 2023, is being developed under a funding agreement with Piedmont Lithium Inc.

Atlantic Lithium holds 509km(2) and 774km(2) of tenure across Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire respectively, comprising significantly under-explored, highly prospective licences.
