Atlas Critical Minerals Reports Strong Initial Graphite Recovery of 96.6% in Its Minas Gerais Project
Belo Horizonte, Brazil--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2025) - Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF) ("Atlas Critical Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to report that initial processing and analytical characterization of its natural graphite ore from the Company's 100%-owned Minas Gerais Graphite Project (the "Project") achieved up to 96.6% of graphite recovery. Surface samples contained up to 15.4% of graphitic carbon. The Project comprises 1,258 hectares in two mineral rights located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. SGS Canada, Inc. ("SGS") was retained to prepare technical reports under U.S. Regulation S-K 1300. In particular, Marc-Antoine Laporte and Yann Camus from SGS are Qualified Persons for the Project. SGS is well-known as a global leader in testing, inspection and certification of mineral properties and projects. Figure 1 shows a representative sample from the Project area which displays the distinctive metallic sheen typical of graphitic material.

Initial results revealed up to 15.4% for the content of graphitic carbon as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Samples head grade. Source: SGS Report 4181-2503 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The principal objective of the scoping level metallurgical test program was to design an initial concentration flowsheet to upgrade the graphite content into a commercially-viable concentrate grading range. The concentration tests were carried out using representative samples collected during the 2025 sampling campaign. The metallurgical tests described in this press release were performed by SGS Geosol, an affiliate of SGS, using 50 kg of representative samples from the Project. The process included rougher flotation, regrinding, and five stages of cleaning with two attrition stages in between. There were no circulating loads, and all flotation tailings were final. The samples of the highest (15.4%; sample SMAL-00001) and lowest (1.89%; sample SMAL-00009) graphitic carbon content were used in the testing. The main objective of testing these two samples was to ensure the experimental conditions were suitable for the range of the Project's ore, in order to produce a final concentrate of high grade. The flotation concentrates generated by samples SMAL-00001 and SMAL-00009 were analyzed on a size-size basis. The results summarized in Table 2 indicate that all granulometric ranges achieved grades between 91.3% and 97.7% graphitic carbon. Table 2: Final Product*. Source: SGS Report 4181-2503 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: * All carbon analyses were reported as graphite carbon ("C-graph"). The analytical methods that were used to determine the metallurgical results included total carbon analysis by Leco on the final concentrates. Using conventional flotation, regrinding and attrition techniques, the final graphite concentrates achieved impressive grades of 91.9% and 96.6% total graphite carbon, demonstrating the strong potential of the Project.

Atlas Critical Minerals Reports Strong Initial Rare Earth and Titanium Results from Alto do Paranaiba Project
Observed Surface Sample Grades up to 28,870ppm TREO and 23.2% TiO2 Belo Horizonte, Brazil--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2025) - Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF) ("Atlas Critical Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to report strong initial rare earth and titanium results from its Alto do Paranaíba Project (the "Project"), located in the western part of state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The project demonstrates significant potential for near-surface rare earth and titanium mineralization within the "Mata da Corda" Group geological sequence. SGS Canada, Inc. ("SGS") was retained to prepare technical reports under U.S. Regulation S-K 1300. In particular, Marc-Antoine Laporte and Yann Camus from SGS are Qualified Persons for the Project. SGS is well-known as a global leader in testing, inspection and certification of mineral properties and projects. The Project comprises mineral rights totaling more than 25,000 hectares, strategically positioned within a major volcano-sedimentary geological sequence. The extensive Project area has been divided into three exploration blocks for ease of exploration activities as shown in Figure 1.

Atlas Lithium Strengthens Position in Critical Minerals with Rare Earths, Titanium, Graphite, and Uranium Exposure
Boca Raton, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - March 5, 2025) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX), a leading lithium exploration and development company, is pleased to highlight its current 32.2% stake in Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation. This ownership positions Atlas Lithium at the forefront of Brazil's critical minerals sector, providing exposure to rare earth elements, titanium, graphite, uranium, and other sought-after minerals. 'Global demand for critical minerals has never been more urgent,' said Marc Fogassa, CEO and Chairman of Atlas Lithium. 'Recent geopolitical developments have underscored the vital importance of critical minerals for economic and national security. Atlas Lithium is strategically positioned to play a key role in this increasingly important sector.' Rare Earths: Essential for Defense, Energy, and High-Tech Applications Rare earth elements are indispensable components in manufacturing permanent magnets used in electric vehicle (EV) motors, wind turbines, and defense systems. With China currently controlling over 60% of global rare earth mining and 85% of refining capacity, recent export restrictions have underscored the need for alternative supply sources. Atlas Critical Minerals' extensive rare earth portfolio spans approximately 54,000 hectares (~133,000 acres) across 33 mineral rights in the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais in Brazil. These areas have demonstrated promising mineralization, with soil samples revealing rare earth oxide (TREO) concentrations as high as 15,000 ppm and titanium dioxide concentrations up to 20%. Graphite: A Cornerstone of Battery Technology Graphite is a critical component for lithium-ion batteries, which power electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. As global EV adoption accelerates, demand for natural graphite has surged, making the development of new sources outside of traditional suppliers like China a strategic imperative. Atlas Critical Minerals is actively evaluating areas in Brazil with known graphite formations, with the goal of contributing to the global supply of this essential material. Uranium: Fueling the Energy Transition Uranium is experiencing renewed global demand as nations prioritize energy security, geopolitical stability, and decarbonization. With nuclear power offering a reliable, low-carbon energy source, uranium has become integral to the energy transition. Atlas Critical Minerals is focused in certain areas in Brazil with promising geological characteristics for uranium. In Brazil, uranium is strictly regulated and exploration requires special permitting, which is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, this sector is expected to continue to grow substantially as Brazil activates its third nuclear reactor for electricity generation and as global demand continues to rise. A Diversified Strategy for a Changing World Atlas Lithium's ownership stake in Atlas Critical Minerals strategically complements its flagship Neves Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. This diversified approach provides shareholders with exposure to multiple critical minerals essential for the global energy transition and advanced manufacturing sectors. 'In today's environment of persistent geopolitical tensions, the need for reliable, diversified critical mineral supply chains has never been clearer,' added Fogassa. 'While our immediate focus is to bring our lithium production online and generate profits, Atlas Lithium's long-term strategy is to establish itself as a leader in the global critical minerals space.' About Atlas Lithium Corporation Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) is advancing to production its wholly owned hard-rock lithium Neves Project located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Neves Project received operational permitting from Minas Gerais in October, 2024. With approximately 539 square kilometers of lithium mineral rights in total, Atlas Lithium owns the largest lithium exploration footprint in Brazil of any publicly listed company. Additionally, Atlas Lithium currently holds an approximate 32.2% ownership stake in Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF).
