Marc Fogassa, CEO and Chairman of Atlas Critical Minerals, commented:
“Our Nasdaq listing represents a transformational milestone,
allowing enhanced visibility at a global scale and expanding access
to institutional investors. Our diversified portfolio across
multiple critical minerals is virtually unique among publicly traded
companies and reflects the dedication of our technical and business
development teams. We are humbled by the investor interest in our
recent offering, which enabled us to upsize the financing, and look
forward to progress on multiple fronts in the months ahead.”
Atlas Critical Minerals controls more than 218,000 hectares of mineral
rights representing one of the largest critical minerals portfolios
among publicly traded companies. The Company’s diversified asset base
spans rare earths, nuclear-grade graphite, uranium, and an expanding
revenue-generating iron ore operation. The Company’s mineral
properties are in Brazil – a country known to have the world’s
second-largest deposits of rare earths after China.
Key Portfolio Highlights
Dual Rare Earths Strategy: The Alto do Paranaíba Rare Earths
Project features high-grade conglomerate-hosted mineralization with
surface samples up to 28,870 ppm TREO (Total Rare Earths Oxide),
drilling intercepts including 12 meters at an average of 5,961 ppm
TREO, and a 28% Magnetic Rare Earths Oxide MREO-to-TREO ratio. The
Iporá Rare Earths Project holds ionic clay mineralized deposits
with MREO recovery rates exceeding 60% for critical permanent magnet
rare earths elements.
Nuclear-Grade Graphite Confirmed: Malacacheta Graphite Project
achieved 99.9995% carbon purity in independent U.S. laboratory
testing, qualifying for the ultra-premium nuclear graphite market
which has been reported to command $25,000-$35,000 per tonne — a
10-15x premium over standard battery-grade graphite normally
commercialized in the $2,000-$2,400 range per tonne.
Strategic Uranium Portfolio: 143,725 hectares across 39 mineral rights
some of which are strategically positioned adjacent or close to areas
restricted by Brazil’s government because of high uranium potential.
Brazil ranks among the world’s top ten countries in uranium reserves,
offering significant exploration upside in an underexplored
jurisdiction. The Company is actively evaluating these areas in
anticipation of potential regulatory changes in Brazil.
Revenue-Generating Operations: The Company’s Rio Piracicaba Iron Ore
Project commenced revenue-generating operations in late November 2025,
with iron ore shipments now being transported six days per week to a
contracted third-party processing facility for conversion into sinter
feed. This capital-light operating model is expected to provide
near-term cash flow to contribute towards corporate costs including
exploration activities for the critical minerals project portfolio.
Rare Earths: Dual-Project Strategy
The Company’s rare earths portfolio encompasses 53,939 hectares across
33 mineral rights in Minas Gerais and Goiás states.
The Alto do Paranaíba Project, located in Minas Gerais state,
comprises 21 mineral rights covering 27,737 hectares with
conglomerate-type formations rich in rare earths and containing
titanium as potential commercial byproduct. Geological surface
sampling demonstrated results as high as 29,870ppm for TREO. From a
total of 809 samples analyzed — 608 samples exceeded 1,000 ppm
TREO and 121 samples exceeded 3,000 ppm TREO. Initial drilling of 11
holes totaling 144 meters confirmed near-surface mineralization
including DHTI-001 with 12 m at 5,961 ppm TREO and DHTI-002 with 6m at
7,729 ppm TREO. A technical report prepared by SGS under the
guidelines of Item 1300 of Regulation SK (“SK 1300 Technical Report”)
on the Alto do Paranaíba Project was filed with the SEC on
August 14, 2025.
The Iporá Project, located in Goiás state, comprises 12
mineral rights covering 18,615 hectares targeting ionic clay deposits.
Drilling intercepts include DHIP-0006 at 8m at 2,071 ppm TREO and 775
ppm MREO, with a peak 1-meter interval of 3,822 ppm TREO and 1,803 ppm
MREO. Metallurgical testing achieved MREO recovery exceeding 60%, HREO
recovery of 55%, and yttrium recovery of 63%. An SK 1300 Technical
Report prepared by SGS on the Iporá Project was filed with the
SEC on October 3, 2025.
Graphite: Nuclear-Grade Quality Confirmed
The Malacacheta Graphite Project comprises 1,258 hectares in Minas
Gerais state. An initial SGS-authored SK 1300 Technical Report was
filed with the SEC on August 14, 2025 (“Graphite Technical Report”).
Comprehensive characterization of graphite concentrate samples from
the Malacacheta Project sent to American Energy Technologies Company
(AETC), a U.S. laboratory specializing in graphite, achieved the
remarkable level of 99.9995 wt.% carbon purity through thermal
purification — meeting stringent nuclear-grade specifications
without the use of halogen gases. Additionally, the samples’
post-purification BET surface area of 0.89 m²/g placed the
material on par with leading deposits including premium Chinese flake
graphite from Qingdao province. AETC’s conclusion The Graphite
Technical Report was updated to include the results of such
metallurgical studies and filed with the SEC on November 12, 2025.
Uranium: Strategic Positioning for Growth
The Company’s mineral rights with potential for uranium mineralization
span 143,725 hectares across 39 mineral rights in Bahia, Ceará,
Goiás, Piauí, Pará, and Tocantins states in
Brazil. As energy demand from data centers supporting AI revolution
and other advanced computing applications outpaces traditional
sources, nuclear energy is expected to play an increasingly important
role. Growing interest in small modular reactors to power the data
centers at remote locations further supports robust long-term market
demand for uranium. The U.S. currently imports most of its uranium
from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Canada, while nuclear energy already
provides 20% of U.S. electricity. Atlas Critical Minerals is well
positioned to benefit from potential Brazilian legislative reform and
ongoing Western efforts to diversify uranium supply chains.
Iron Ore: Early Revenue Generation
The Company’s Rio Piracicaba Iron Ore Project, located in Brazil’s
renowned Iron Quadrangle area, commenced revenue-generating operations
in late November 2025. An SK 1300 Technical Report on this project
demonstrated resources of 7,852,912 tons at 32% Fe average grade, with
metallurgical testing demonstrating the ability to concentrate the
material using magnetic separation techniques to 64.8% sinter feed
product, a premium-product range. Under a strategic partnership with
an independent third-party operator, the Company’s iron ore is mined
and delivered to a nearby processing facility for conversion into
sinter feed. Atlas Critical Minerals receives revenues from the raw
iron ore sales with values per tonne based on a percentage of the
Platts IODEX 62% Fe pricing and protected with a pre-determined floor
minimum.
