Atlantico Highlights Pegmatite Field Observations and Hand-Dug Artisanal Mine Tunnels at Novo Cruzeiro in Brazil's Lithium Valley

Early-stage Brazilian lithium and rare earth explorer trades on CSE following reverse takeover.

Executive Summary
  • Atlantico Energy Metals highlights field observations at its Novo Cruzeiro project in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
  • The update documents inactive artisanal mine tunnels, exposed rock faces, weathered saprolite profiles, and light-coloured pegmatitic material.
  • UV-light fluorescence on pegmatites is noted as an exploration indicator rather than proof of mineralization.
  • Samples collected from the artisanal tunnels did not return significant lithium results.
  • The company outlines a next-stage work plan including continued field mapping, targeted sampling of exposed pegmatites, stream-sediment follow-up, ridge and spur soil sampling, geophysical surveys, and trenching.
  • The project remains in early-stage exploration with no known mineralization, no historic drilling, and no mineral resources or reserves.
Material Impact
  • The June 30 release is a direct operational follow-up to the June 26 first-pass assay results.
  • It provides geological context and validates the initial sampling strategy but introduces no new assay data, grade estimates, or economic indicators.
  • The confirmation of artisanal tunnels and pegmatite exposure reduces some geological uncertainty but does not alter the fundamental exploration risk profile.
  • No new financial commitments, capital raises, or strategic partnerships are disclosed.
  • The update is incremental and aligns with standard Phase 1 exploration workflows outlined in the NI 43-101 technical report.
