Aim-listed Atlantic Lithium has collected 1,344 soil samples from the surrounds of the Ewoyaa lithium project in Ghana, with over 5,400 samples still being collected in an ongoing geochemical soil sampling program.
The company has been conducting geochemical work, geological mapping, and rock chip sampling on a newly granted and previously unexplored area of the Senya Beraku prospecting license, located within 70 km of the Ewoyaa project. Ewoyaa, the company’s flagship deposit, received a mining lease in October 2023.
Senya Beraku is situated 20 km east of the Egyasimanku Hill-Winneba spodumene pegmatite field, where coarse-grained spodumene pegmatites have been observed by other parties.
While Atlantic cannot yet confirm spodumene mineralization from the samples due to pending assays, the company has identified coarse-grained pegmatite units from geological mapping.
The Senya Beraku deposit could benefit from existing infrastructure, including transmission lines and the N1 Accra-Takoradi highway.
Atlantic Chairperson Neil Herbert remarked that the newly granted Senya Beraku prospecting license represents a significant exploration opportunity.
“With no lithium exploration previously conducted over the license, we are pleased to now be on the ground undertaking soil sampling, mapping, and rock chip sampling, with the goal of identifying new anomalies for follow-up targeted drilling,” he said.
While Atlantic remains focused on advancing the Ewoyaa project through permitting towards construction, the company recognizes the potential value from continued exploration of its large, largely unexplored tenure package in Ghana, which it believes holds high prospects for further lithium discoveries.
