Atlantic Lithium Ends Sale Discussions Amid Rising Lithium Prices and Ewoyaa Project Progress
SX- and AIM-listed Atlantic Lithium has ceased discussions with a potential buyer seeking to acquire all of the company’s issued share capital.
The company recently received a conditional, non-binding indicative proposal for a change of control via a scheme of arrangement and engaged Canaccord Genuity and Hopgood Ganim Lawyers to assess the offer.
Atlantic confirmed that all negotiations have been halted, noting that the proposal did not fully reflect the company’s true potential, its asset portfolio, or the strong underlying demand for lithium products.
Strong Lithium Market Supports Independent Growth
The board highlighted the recent improvement in lithium prices, with spodumene concentrate rising from $800/t in October 2025 to around $1,900/t, driven by sustained demand in the electric vehicle (EV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) sectors.
“As one of the few pre-construction hard-rock lithium projects at an advanced stage of permitting, with offtake still uncommitted, the Ewoyaa project in Ghana represents a highly attractive source of supply for the EV and BESS supply chain,” said CEO Keith Muller.
The company believes that advancing Ewoyaa beyond permitting will unlock multiple milestones for value creation.
Ewoyaa Mining Licence and Project Status
Atlantic is currently awaiting ratification of the Ewoyaa lithium mining licence, submitted in revised form to the Ghanaian Parliament in December 2025.
Shares have been suspended from trading since February 19, 2026 pending the licence grant.
The company is aware of ongoing government discussions but has not yet received formal confirmation of ratification.
Atlantic continues to support the due parliamentary process and remains confident that approval will be granted.
Ewoyaa: Ghana’s First Lithium Mine
The Ewoyaa project is set to become Ghana’s first lithium-producing mine, featuring a 36-million-tonne resource of lithium oxide grading 1.24%.
With strong market fundamentals, an advanced permitting stage, and uncommitted offtake, the project positions Atlantic Lithium to capitalize on growing global demand for lithium while creating significant value for stakeholders.
