Pronounced Lithium-in-soil Anomalies
within Agboville and Rubino Licences, Côte d'Ivoire
New spodumene pegmatite occurrences also discovered in the Rubino licence
Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL, ASX: A11, GSE: ALLGH, "Atlantic Lithium"
or the "Company"), the Africa-focused lithium exploration and development
company, is pleased to announce the delineation of impressive lithium-in-soil
anomalies in results from Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling completed across
the Rubino and Agboville exploration licences in Côte d'Ivoire, which are
100%-owned by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Khaleesi Resources SARL
("Khaleesi"). Additional spodumene pegmatite occurrences have also been
discovered in float from geological mapping completed over the Rubino licence.
Highlights
- Impressive lithium-in-soil anomalies, extending over several
kilometres, identified from Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling completed over
the Company's Rubino and Agboville exploration licences in Côte d'Ivoire.
- At Rubino, new Phase 3 results extend the lithium-in-soil anomalous
zone identified from Phase 2 results (reported previously) to cover an
increased area of approximately 6.0km by 2.5km, within which there are several
distinct linear trends that warrant immediate ground follow-up evaluation.
- At Agboville, Phase 2 soil sampling results define a pronounced
linear anomaly >5km in length as well as other anomalous linear features,
one of which is associated with spodumene pegmatite float discovered by the
Company's geologists.
- Additional spodumene pegmatite occurrences, returning high-grade
lithium assays, discovered in rock float from geological mapping completed
within the Rubino licence.
- The latest soil sampling and assay results further indicate the
prospectivity of the Company's tenure in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of
Côte d'Ivoire, which remains significantly underexplored for lithium.
- The Company is undertaking low-cost exploration of its Rubino and
Agboville licences concurrently to the advancement of the Company's flagship
Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana to support its objectives of building a
pipeline of projects to support long-term growth.
- A specialist corporate advisor has been engaged to commence a
formal process to source funding options that are non-dilutive to the
Company's shareholders to accelerate exploration of the Côte d'Ivoire
licences.
Commenting, Keith Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium, said:
"The latest results from the Company's ongoing exploration programmes across
its 100%-owned Rubino and Agboville licences further underscore the
prospectivity of its tenure in Côte d'Ivoire.
"Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling results have delineated pronounced
lithium-in-soil anomalies extending over several kilometres across the two
licences, with several trends warranting further evaluation.
"At Rubino, the anomalous zone reported previously has been expanded by the
latest results to an increased area of approximately 6.0km by 2.5km.
Meanwhile, at Agboville, a pronounced linear anomaly >5km in length and
several other anomalous linear features of interest have been identified.
"Through mapping and rock-chip sampling, the Company has also discovered
several new spodumene pegmatite occurrences in rock float, in addition to the
previously reported outcrop, within the Rubino licence. Further mapping has
now commenced across both licences to support the evaluation of the anomalies
identified in the Phase 2 and 3 soil results and to assist in defining
follow-up auger drill programmes.
"The Company believes that its licences in Côte d'Ivoire demonstrate
significant value potential through lithium exploration. To be undertaken
alongside its advancement of its flagship Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana, the
Company has, therefore, commenced a formal process to explore funding options,
considering minority, project-level investment or partnerships, to accelerate
its exploration of the two licences.
"We look forward to providing further updates in due course."

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law
by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is
disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of
MAR.
Location
The Agboville exploration licence (PR 0694) covers an area of 397km(2) and is
located in the departments of Agboville and Adzope in Côte d'Ivoire, while
the adjacent Rubino exploration licence (PR 0695) covers an area of 374km(2)
in the department of Agboville (refer Figure 1). Both licences are 100%-owned
by the Company's wholly-owned Ivorian subsidiary, Khaleesi Resources SARL
("Khaleesi"). The town of Agboville is situated only 80km north of Abidjan,
the port and commercial capital of Côte d'Ivoire, and the two licences are
well-serviced with existing infrastructure, including excellent paved highways
and an operating railway linking Burkina Faso's capital city of Ouagadougou
and the port of Abidjan.

Soil Sampling
Soil geochemical sampling was undertaken using 100m by 100m spaced grid over
the most prospective areas identified by mapping and rock-chip sampling
completed by the Company and also over historical mineral occurrences in both
the Rubino and Agboville licence areas.
The soil sampling was completed in two sampling phases in each tenement; Phase
2 consisting of 3,235 sample sites (1,594 sites sampled at Agboville and 1,641
sites sampled at Rubino) and Phase 3 consisting of 1,512 sample sites (442
sites sampled at Agboville and 1,070 sites sampled at Rubino), the extent of
which are shown in Figures 2 and 3. The total number of soil samples collected
within the Rubino Phase 3 grid increased to 1,070 after the geological team
was granted permission to sample a tract of agricultural land that had
recently changed ownership (refer announcement of 31 July 2025). The Phase 1
soil sampling programme was a baseline soil programme undertaken along
selected sections during reconnaissance mapping, where different sample depths
and sieve fractions were tested and the results of which help set the best
parameters for subsequent grid soil programmes.
The Company herein reports the results of Phase 3 soil sampling completed at
Rubino and Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling conducted at Agboville. The
Rubino Phase 2 soil results were reported by the Company in the announcement
dated 22 May 2025.
Rubino Licence
Newly-received Phase 3 lithium-in-soil results extend the anomalism 3.5km
towards the NE from the previously announced Phase 2 soil grid, delineating a
pronounced lithium-in-soil anomalous zone extending NE-SW continuously across
the surveyed area, extending over an area of approximately 6.0km by 2.5km
(refer Figure 2).
Within the anomalous zone, the results delineate a long NNE-SSW orientated
linear anomaly, which could be associated with the interpreted lithological
contact between metasediment and granodiorite; a similar lithological contact
relationship that is observed in the distribution of anomalies from the Phase
2 soil grid. Similar, but less well defined, NNE-SSW to N-S trending soil
anomalies are evident in the Rubino Phase 2 soil grid. These may be related to
N-S to NNE-SSW orientated structural features concealed by the laterite cover
and could also host pegmatite intrusions at depth. Several of the distinct
NNE-SSW, N-S and NE-SW linear trends identified in the anomalous zone from the
Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil results warrant immediate ground follow-up and
ultimately sub-surface evaluation by the exploration team, as outlined in the
'Next Steps' section below.
Figure 2: Consolidated Rubino Phase 2 and Phase 3 Li (ppm) in soil
grid results with spodumene pegmatite discovery sites. Pronounced anomalies
are defined by lithium values between 200ppm and a peak value of 806ppm, with
values below 85ppm considered a background response and related to the country
rock. Refer to Figure 4 for spodumene pegmatite occurrences and associated
lithia values.
Agboville Licence
The lithium-in-soil results from the Phase 2 soil grid define a pronounced
linear anomaly >5km in length trending NE-SW, which follows the interpreted
contact between metasediments to the NW and granodiorite intrusive to the SE
(refer Figure 3). Other less well-defined anomalous linear features are
developed over the granodiorite, one of which is associated with spodumene
pegmatite float discovered by the mapping team, as reported previously (refer
announcement of 22 May 2025). The Phase 3 lithium-in-soil geochemical response
is more subdued; likely to be related to interpreted metasediment host
exhibiting deeper weathering and laterite development and some alluvial cover
with rice cultivation invalidating certain survey points.
The NE-SW-orientated lithological contacts in both the Rubino and Agboville
licences follow the dominant regional tectonic trend in the Birimian of this
part of West Africa, which is NE-SW, and a possible structural displacement
across these potentially faulted or sheared contacts could host dilatant zones
where pegmatite intrusion could be focused in either the schists of the
metasediment or within more competent lithology such as the granodiorite.
Figure 3: Agboville Phase 2 and 3 Li (ppm) in soil grid results.
Prominent lithium soil anomalies are defined by values above 200ppm and a peak
value of 698ppm, and values below 85ppm considered a background response
associated with regional country rock.
Mapping and rock-chip sampling
Additional geological mapping undertaken by the Company's geologists,
continued along reconnaissance traverses and in support of soil sampling and
in ground truthing Rubino Phase 2 soil anomalies, has discovered several
additional spodumene pegmatite occurrences in the Rubino licence as rock
float, with spodumene visually observed in hand specimen despite varying
degrees of weathering exhibited.
Rock-chip samples were collected during mapping and submitted for assay. The
elevated assay values of lithium and other elements from these pegmatite
rock-chip samples confirm the Company's visual spodumene observations and the
prospectivity of the licences (refer Figure 4 and Table 1). Not all pegmatite
samples sent for assay returned anomalous assay results. Spodumene has a
propensity to degrade in the tropical weathering environment with the lithium
leaching out of the mineral even in weak to moderately weathered pegmatite, so
weathered visually observed spodumene will not always have corresponding high
lithium values in rock-chip assay results.

within the Rubino licence with associated lithia values from rock-chip assays.
Extent of recent Phase 2 and 3 soil sampling grids are also shown.

factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially
provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties
relevant to valuations.
Next Steps
The Company has commenced further mapping across both the Rubino and Agboville
licences to continue the evaluation of the anomalies identified in the Phase 2
and 3 soil results. This additional mapping will assist in defining follow-up
auger drill programmes to map the source of the anomalies below the laterite
at surface, with the intention to define potential reverse circulation and
diamond drill targets.
Further, Phase 4 soil sampling across both licences, extending outwards of the
Phase 2 and Phase 3 soil sampling programme and across additional prospective
areas, is also expected to be planned.
The Company has engaged a specialist corporate advisor to commence a formal
process to source funding options to accelerate exploration activities across
the Côte d'Ivoire licences. This process is focused on minority,
project-level investment or partnerships that offer funding that is
non-dilutive to Atlantic Lithium's existing shareholders.
