Atlantic Lithium Unveils 36.8Mt Feldspar Resource at Ewoyaa
Atlantic Lithium Limited has announced an updated JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 36.8 million tonnes (Mt) at 41.9% feldspar for its Ewoyaa Lithium Project, strengthening its case as Ghana’s first lithium mine.
The revised estimate, derived from the same geological model as the company’s 36.8Mt at 1.24% Li₂O Lithium MRE, includes:
3.7Mt at 40.2% feldspar (Measured)
26.1Mt at 42.1% feldspar (Indicated)
7.0Mt at 42.4% feldspar (Inferred)
This represents a significant upgrade from Atlantic Lithium’s maiden Feldspar MRE announced in December 2023, which only covered the first five years of spodumene production.
The company also reports the presence of quartz and muscovite, suggesting additional by-product opportunities from Ewoyaa’s spodumene concentrate production.
Strategic Supply to Ghana’s Ceramics Industry
With the upgraded estimate, Atlantic Lithium sees Ewoyaa as a major domestic source of feldspar, with plans to supply Ghana’s ceramics market—a move expected to bolster local manufacturing and economic growth.
Commenting on the increased Feldspar mineral resource estimate, atlantivCEO Keith Muller remarked, “This updated estimate reinforces Ewoyaa’s potential over its full 12-year mine life. As feldspar will be a by-product of spodumene concentrate production, it provides an opportunity to support local industries and contribute to Ghana’s economic development.”
The company will now incorporate life-of-mine feldspar production into future feasibility studies and market assessments.
As Ewoyaa progresses, Atlantic Lithium is positioning itself at the forefront of Ghana’s lithium industry, leveraging every resource available to maximize value for stakeholders and the economy alike.
