All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements regarding current expectations, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, our future results of operations and financial position, our ability to effectively process our minerals and achieve commercial grade at scale; risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in exploring, developing, constructing and operating mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions); uncertainty about our ability to obtain required capital to execute our business plan; our ability to hire and retain required personnel; changes in the market prices of lithium and lithium products and demand for such products; the uncertainties inherent in exploratory, developmental and production activities, including risks relating to permitting, zoning and regulatory delays related to our projects; uncertainties inherent in the estimation of lithium resources. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions Factors that could cause future results to materially differ from the recent results or those projected in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits, but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production; market fluctuations; government regulations, including regulations relating to permitting, royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection; competition; the loss of services of key personnel; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, litigation, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of infrastructure as well as general economic conditions.

ATLAS LITHIUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Atlas Lithium Corporation (together with its subsidiaries “Atlas Lithium,” the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on December 15, 2011. The Company changed its management and business on December 18, 2012, to focus on mineral exploration in Brazil.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in United States dollars. For the period ended September 30, 2024, the consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company; its
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As previously reported on Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 8, 2024 (the “Amended Annual Report”), we have restated our previously reported financial statements for the two fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 in connection with certain errors relating to the presentation, timing, omission and classification of certain items in the previously reported financial statements. In addition, as also reported on Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on November 8, 2024 (the “Amended First Quarter Report”) and Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on November 8, 2024, we restated the interim financial statements for such periods to correct, as applicable to such interim periods, the same errors restated in the Amended Annual Report relating to the presentation, timing, omission and classification of certain items therein. The Amended First Quarter Report was also restated to correct a clerical error in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding during such period.
With respect to the restatements relating to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, all of the corrections to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss were recorded in the fourth quarter of such period. As a result, the presentation of the relevant comparative three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2023, respectively, indicates no changes from the previously reported numbers of those periods. In addition, because the restatements did not result in a change in the Company’s cash position and impacted only non-cash charges, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the prior periods which have been included in this report do not reflect any material changes from the previously reported consolidated statements of cash flows.

NOTE 2 – COMPOSITION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS
Property and Equipment
The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s property and equipment at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

| Mining rights | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Exploration costs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total fixed assets | $ | $ | ( | ) | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||
Exploration costs such as drilling, development and related costs are either classified as exploration and charged to operations as incurred, or capitalized, such as to assist with mine planning within a reserve area. Whether to capitalize an exploration cost or incur an expense also depends on whether the drilling or development costs relate to an ore body that has been determined to be commercially mineable and whether the expenditure relates to a probable future benefit to be generated singly or in combination with other assets. The basis of the mineral interest is amortized on a units-of-production basis.
The Company previously reported it was acquiring five

Leases
Finance Leases
For the reporting period ended September 30, 2024, no financial leases meeting the criteria outlined in ASC 842 have been identified.
Operating Leases
Right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The ROU and lease liabilities are primarily related to commercial offices with third parties.

lease agreements have terms between

a) Derivative liability – embedded conversion feature on convertible debt
On November 7, 2023, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to Mr. Rowley (a senior adviser to the Company and the father of Nicholas Rowley, at that time the Company’s Vice President of Business Development), and other investors. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, the conversion feature of the convertible debt was determined to be an embedded derivative. As such, it was bifurcated from the host debt liability and was recognized as a derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The derivative liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss.
At
December 31, 2023, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was determined to be $

NOTE 8 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Currency Risk
The Company operates primarily in Brazil which exposes it to currency risks. The Company’s business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs to the time payments are made may result in the Company receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at the time of the original activity.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary’s financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries translate their financial results from the local currency into U.S. dollars in the following manner: (a) income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period; (b) balance sheet asset and liability accounts are translated at end of period exchange rates; and (c) equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation in this manner affects the shareholders’ equity account referred to as the foreign currency translation adjustment account. This account exists only in the foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar balance sheets and is necessary to keep the foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets in agreement.
NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Neves Project Permission
On October 28, 2024, we received the operational permit for our Neves Project from the government of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. This triphasic permit (known as “LI/LP/LO” in the local regulatory terminology) is the most expeditious licensing modality available as it encompasses the initial, installation, and operating licenses all within this same issued authorization. The permit authorizes us to assemble and operate our lithium processing plant, to process mined ore from one of our deposits at the facility, and to sell the lithium concentrate that we produce. The permit was unanimously approved by a voting board comprised of twelve representatives from the local civil society and government on October 25, 2024, and formally published in the official gazette of the Minas Gerais government on October 26, 2024. This outcome followed the technical recommendation for approval issued by the Environmental Foundation of Minas Gerais in September 2024. This key development came after an extensive technical review process that began with our initial permit application on September 1, 2023.

Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
Atlas Lithium Corporation (“Atlas Lithium”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to Atlas Lithium Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries) is a mineral exploration and development company with a developing lithium project and multiple lithium exploration properties. In addition, we own exploration properties in other battery minerals, including nickel, copper, rare earths, graphite, and titanium. Our current focus is the development from exploration to future active mining of our hard-rock lithium project located in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil at a well-known pegmatitic district in Brazil, which has been denominated by the government of Minas Gerais as “Lithium Valley.” We intend to mine and then process our lithium-containing ore to produce lithium concentrate (also known as spodumene concentrate), a key ingredient for the battery supply chain.
Our modular plant targeted at producing up to 150,000 tons of lithium concentrate per annum (“tpa”) in what we describe as Phase I is in final phase of fabrication. We plan on adding additional modules to the plant with the intent of doubling its production capacity to up to 300,000 tpa in Phase II. However, there can be no assurance that we will have the necessary capital resources to develop such facility or, if developed, that we will reach the production capacity necessary to commercialize our products and with the quality needed to meet market demand.
All our mineral projects and properties are located in Brazil, a well-established mining jurisdiction. Our lithium properties include approximately 53,942 hectares (539 km2) divided in 95 mineral rights (2 in pre-mining concession stage, 85 in exploration stage, and 8 in pre-exploration stage).
In addition, we also have a few additional lithium mineral rights that are in the process of being acquired and not yet titled in our name.

We are primarily focused on advancing and developing our hard-rock lithium project located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Our Minas Gerais Lithium Project (“MGLP”) consists of 85 mineral rights spread over approximately 468 km2 and predominantly located within the Brazilian Eastern Pegmatitic Province which has been surveyed by the Brazilian Geological Survey and is known for the presence of hard rock formations known as pegmatites which contain lithium-bearing minerals such as spodumene and petalite. Our primary area of focus is the Neves Project, which is part of MGLP. The Neves Project has been drilled extensively and presents spodumene-bearing deposits amenable to open pit mining, with generation of ore material that can be processed by dense media separation technique to yield lithium concentrate, a commercial product within the battery supply chain.
We own approximately 44.74% of the shares of common stock of Apollo Resources, a private company primarily focused on the development of its initial iron mine.
We also own approximately 21.01% of the shares of common stock of Jupiter Gold, a company with an operating quartzite quarry and gold projects in exploration phase, the common stock of which is quoted on the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol “JUPGF.”
The results of operations from both Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold are consolidated in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP.
On October 31, 2024, Jupiter Gold and Apollo Resources entered into an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Apollo will merge with and into Jupiter, with Jupiter continuing its corporate existence as the surviving corporation. This transaction is expected to be completed by December 31, 2024.
Operational Update
During the third quarter of 2024, we achieved several important operational developments:
In August 2024, our modular dense media separation (DMS) lithium processing plant entered its final phase of fabrication. The DMS modules of the plant successfully underwent trial assembly in South Africa. Some parts remaining in near-final stages of fabrication at that time included effluent components, recently modified to improve water efficiency, as well as conveyors. The plant’s modular design, which has never before been used for lithium processing in Brazil, represents an optimized approach featuring reduced height, weight, and physical footprint compared to traditional designs. The plant is engineered to achieve the lowest processing circuit water usage in the industry.
Also in August 2024, our spodumene concentrate plant design was selected as a finalist for a November 14, 2024 contest, organized by a non-profit civil society organization in the state of Minas Gerais, recognizing environmentally-sustainable approaches in the industry.
[
In early October 2024, we announced the discovery of spodumene-rich pegmatites in our Salinas Project area, located approximately 60 miles north of our flagship Neves Project. The Salinas Project spans 388 hectares (approximately 959 acres) and is situated just 5 miles east of Latin Resources’ Colina Project, a significant lithium deposit. Our technical team has completed soil geochemistry and LIDAR geological mapping with favorable results and is now pursuing further geological and geophysical studies prior to initiation of a drilling campaign.
On October 25, 2024, a voting board comprised of twelve representatives from the local civil society and government unanimously approved Atlas Lithium’s license application for its Neves Project, resulting in the formal issuance of the permit. The permit authorizes Atlas Lithium to assemble and operate its lithium processing plant, to process mined ore from one of its deposits at the facility, and to sell the lithium concentrate that it produces.

Results of Operations
The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024, Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, totaled $32,855,151, compared to net loss of $25,600,602 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is mainly due to:
| ● | After a trial mining period in the second half of 2023, Jupiter Gold commenced ongoing operations at its quartzite quarry in 2024. Our gross margin of $249,722 was generated from the sales of 269 m3 of unprocessed blocks of quartzite produced by Jupiter Gold. By comparison, there was no gross margin generation in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 | |
| ● | Higher general and administrative expenses of approximately $5.7 million in the period primarily due to increased costs of labor and consultants related to technical services, increased legal fees relating to transactions consummated during the quarter and other third-party costs; | |
| ● | An increase of approximately $10.4 million in stock-based compensation expense compared to the prior period, reflecting bonus for the members of the management team eligible for stock-based compensation; and | |
| ● | Higher finance costs of approximately $0.2 million for the period mainly due to interest expenses related to convertible notes issued in November 2023. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22,056,560 and working capital of $16,401,099.
Net cash used by operating activities totaled $14,212,264 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided of $2,564,979 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing a variation in the cash flow from operating activities of $16,777,243. The variation in net cash used /provided by operating activities was mainly due to:
| ● | In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $20,000,000 arising from the one-time royalty sale with no matchable transaction in 2024, as explained in Note 3; and | |
| ● | Increase of approximately $5,700,000 in general and administrative expenses due to the growth of the our personnel and infrastructure as we move towards revenue-generating operations. As a result, we had more expenditures such as employee compensation and the costs of third parties service providers such as technical consultants. |
| 27 |
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $23,559,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash used of $771,977 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase in cash used of $22,787,881 or 2,952%. The increase reflects essentially: and capitalized exploration costs.
| · | The payments made in connection with the acquisition of our lithium processing plant; and | |
| · | The capitalization of exploration costs incurred since April 2024. |
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $30,291,547 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $20,822,531 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase in cash provided of $9,469,016 or 45%. The increase is mainly due to the following financing activities that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
| ● | The sale of an aggregate of 1,871,250 shares of our common stock to Mitsui in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The gross proceeds from the Private Placement were $30.0 million. |
For further information on the transaction mentioned above, please refer to note 7 – related parties transactions.
We have historically incurred net operating losses and have not yet generated material revenues from the sale of products or services. As a result, our primary sources of liquidity have been derived through proceeds from the (i) sales of our equity and the equity of one of our subsidiaries, and (ii) issuance of convertible debt. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22,056,560 and working capital of $16,401,099, compared to cash and cash equivalents $29,549,927 and a working capital of $23,809,637 as of December 31, 2023. We believe our cash and equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. However, our future short- and long-term capital requirements will depend on several factors, including but not limited to, the rate of our growth, our ability to identify areas for mineral exploration and the economic potential of such areas, the exploration and other drilling campaigns needed to verify and expand our mineral resources, the successful installation of our lithium processing facilities, and the ability to attract talent to manage our different areas of endeavor. To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to scale back our existing operations and growth plans, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects and could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Currency Risk
We operate primarily in Brazil, which exposes us to currency risks. Our business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs to the time payments are made may result in it receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at the time of the original activity.
Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary’s financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting in the consolidated financial statements. Our foreign subsidiaries translate their financial results from the local currency into U.S. dollars in the following manner: (a) income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period; (b) balance sheet asset and liability accounts are translated at end of period exchange rates; and (c) equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation in this manner affects the shareholders’ equity account referred to as the foreign currency translation adjustment account. This account exists only in the foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar balance sheets and is necessary to keep the foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets in agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information to be reported under this Item is not required of smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2024. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. On the basis of that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that as a result of the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting, described in our Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed on Form 10-K/A with the SEC on November 8, 2024 (the “Form 10-K/A”), our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 for the reasons set forth below.
As previously reported in our Amended Annual Report, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023. During this period, the Company outsourced its day-to-day accounting tasks due to limited accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources needed to ensure adherence to our internal controls and procedures. We had limited finance and accounting professionals with the requisite experience to appropriately perform the supervision and review of the information received from the Company’s third-party accounting service provider. The lack of GAAP experience from the outsourced accounting firm combined with the limited availability of an experienced team to supervise the third- party service provider resulted in the disclosed material weakness.
Our remediation efforts in response to this material weakness are ongoing and have included insourcing our accounting and finance functions and considering to hire additional professionals.. We also continues the implementation of our SAP enterprise resource planning software. Our remediation efforts will continue through the end of 2024 and beyond. While we have made substantial progress toward the remediation plan, the aforementioned material weakness cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In May 2024, we concluded the implementation of our SAP enterprise resource planning software and insourced the accounting and finance functions.
Other than as discussed above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constrains and that management is required to apply judgement in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
