Boca Raton, Florida--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 28, 2024) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that it received the operational permit for its Neves Project from the government of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. With this positive decision, Atlas Lithium has all the needed authorizations to assemble and run its processing plant and develop open-pit mining operations at one of its lithium deposits. This marks a crucial milestone in the Company's goal of becoming a lithium producer.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. On October 26, 2024, the permit was formally published in the official gazette of the Minas Gerais government. This outcome follows the technical recommendation for approval issued by the Environmental Foundation of Minas Gerais in September 2024.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. This key development comes after an extensive technical review process by regulatory agencies that began with the Company's initial permit application on September 1, 2023. The triphasic permit obtained by Atlas Lithium is the most expeditious licensing modality available as it encompasses the initial, the installation, and the operating licenses all within this same issued authorization (known as "LI/LP/LO" in the local regulatory terminology).Marc Fogassa, CEO of Atlas Lithium, commented, "We are thrilled with today's announcement, as permitting is widely considered the most critical risk in any mining project. Atlas Lithium's permit reflects fourteen months of our team's meticulous work throughout the licensing process and showcases our unwavering commitment to developing an environmentally responsible and sustainable operation in Brazil's Lithium Valley - a mineral district which is rapidly establishing itself as a premier location in the global lithium supply chain. This milestone marks a key step for us towards becoming a lithium producer and advances Atlas Lithium into the next phase of our growth trajectory.""We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen for all our stakeholders. With the news provided today, and as the Neves Project proceeds towards implantation and operation, Atlas Lithium will create hundreds of local jobs in the Vale do Jequitinhonha area of Minas Gerais. Additionally, our lithium processing plant is engineered to possibly achieve the smallest environmental footprint in its class," said Rodrigo Menck, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.About Atlas Lithium Corporation Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) is focused on advancing and developing its 100%-owned hard-rock lithium project in the state of Minas Gerais.

"W e've drilled some world-class intervals already, but the development of Cisco is still in its infancy and we look forward to continuing our understanding of the project through further drilling in 2025."The analytical results reported herein represent 1,431.1 m of drilling over three (3) holes during the summer drill campaign; with analytical results remaining to be reported on three (3) additional drill holes that were completed (drill holes CS-24-020, 022 and 023).Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-017, 019 and 021 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrill holes CS-24-017 and 019 targeted the western portions of the wide mineralized zone. The results reveal several separate mineralized intervals including the widest interval of 71.8 m at 1.01% Li 2 O, including 13.3 m at 1.77% Li 2 O in CS-24-017and 56.8 m at 1.06% Li 2 O, including 9.1 m at 1.80% Li 2 O in CS-24-019 .Drill hole CS-24-021 (Hole 21) targeted the central portions of the wide mineralized zone with results of 347.1 m at 1.35% Li 2 O, including seven (7) higher-grade sub-intervals, including 30 m at 1.76% Li 2 O. Hole 21 is located approximately 200 m north of hole CS-24-018 which assays reported a 215.6 m interval at 1.69% Li 2 O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li 2 O. Hole 21 is also located south of hole CS-24-010 which assays reported a 120.3 m interval of 1.72% Li 2 O.Figure 2. Cross Section A (looking northeast)Figure 3. Cross Section B (looking northeast)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols in place by both the Company and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-020, and the uppermost pegmatite interval of drill hole CS-24-021 were re-submitted for testing. Results will be reported when received and reviewed by the Company.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li 2 O). Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.

Key Highlights:Overall hiring activity in Singapore shows 7% month-on-month increase despite 5% annual dipEducation sector leads industry growth with 4% month-on-month increase in September '24Marketing & Communications roles witness highest demand with 44% annual growth and 30% month-on-month increasePurchase/Logistics/Supply Chain roles experience 29% month-on-month increaseBFSI sector faces challenges with 2% month-on-month decrease in hiring activitySINGAPORE, Oct 28, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), one of Asia’s leading jobs and talent platforms, today published the foundit Insights Tracker (fit) Singapore for September 2024. The Singapore fit report highlights growth in the Education sector and a surge in demand for Marketing & Communications professionals.The tracker reveals an overall year-on-year (YoY) decline of 5% in hiring activity across sectors, as the index dropped from 116 in September 2023 to 110 in September 2024. However, a month-on-month (MoM) analysis indicates a notable 7% surge, with an index of 103 recorded in August 2024.Commenting on Singapore's job trends for September 2024, Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit, said, "The September 2024 foundit Insights Tracker reveals significant shifts in Singapore's job market. Despite a yearly decline, the recent month-on-month growth is a promising sign of recovery. As businesses adapt to changing market conditions, hiring priorities are evolving. Marketing roles are becoming increasingly important as companies focus on data-driven strategies and personalised customer experiences to boost brand engagement and drive growth."Education sector leads industry growth, while Retail/Trade and Logistics and Import/Export sectors show improvementsThe Education sector has emerged as the frontrunner in e-recruitment activity among all monitored industries, showing a 4% MoM growth in September 2024. This growth is fueled by investments from both the government and private sector.Following the Education sector, the Retail/Trade and Logistics sector and the Import/Export sector both showed positive trends with a 3% MoM growth each in September 2024.Several sectors face challenges with declining or stagnant hiring trendsWhile some sectors showed growth, others faced challenges in the job market. The BFSI sector experienced a sequential decline in demand, registering a 2% MoM drop and ranking lowest in hiring activity.The Advertising, Market Research, Public Relations, Media, and Entertainment sector saw a marginal decrease of 1% MoM, following a period of higher recruitment activity last month.Several sectors remained stagnant in their hiring activities. The Shipping/Marine, Consumer Goods/FMCG, Engineering, Construction, Real Estate, and Oil and Gas sectors showed no change (0% MoM growth) in their hiring patterns.Marketing & Communications leads growth in functional rolesIn terms of functional roles, Marketing & Communications professionals witnessed the highest demand in September 2024, with a remarkable 44% YoY growth and a 30% MoM increase. This trend is attributed to the changing marketing dynamics and a strong focus on omnichannel strategies, significantly boosting demand for roles in content management.Purchase/Logistics/Supply Chain roles also showed strong growth, recording a 29% MoM increase. Finance & Accounts roles saw an 11% MoM increase, while Legal roles continued their positive trend with a 9% MoM growth.However, Sales & Business Development roles saw a significant decline of 13% on a month-on-month basis. This shift is observed in most sectors as businesses are increasingly investing in digital marketing, reducing the need for traditional sales roles.Software, Hardware, and Telecom roles, along with Healthcare roles, have also seen significant decreases in hiring demand, both on a monthly and annual basis, positioning these functions at the bottom of the hiring index.The foundit Insights Tracker is a comprehensive monthly analysis of online job posting activity conducted by foundit.
