Atlantic Lithium Submits Ewoyaa Mining Lease to Parliament for Ratification
Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL, ASX: A11, GSE: ALLGH), the Africa-focused lithium exploration and development company advancing Ghana’s first lithium mine, has announced that the Mining Lease for its flagship Ewoyaa Lithium Project has been submitted to Parliament for consideration.
The submission marks the final stage of the project’s permitting process, with the lease now referred to Parliament’s Select Committee on Lands, Forestry and Mines for review and recommendation. The Committee will advise Parliament on whether to approve or reject the lease.
Initially granted in October 2023, the 15-year Mining Lease gives Atlantic Lithium exclusive rights to conduct mining and commercial production activities at Ewoyaa, with the option for renewal in line with Ghanaian laws.
According to the company, all required regulatory approvals have already been secured, leaving parliamentary ratification as the last step before finalising funding and offtake arrangements. The current parliamentary session began on October 21, 2025.
Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium, Keith Muller, expressed optimism about the process, stating, “We are pleased to note that the Ewoyaa Mining Lease has been put to Parliament for consideration in the current parliamentary sitting. We hope that the ratification can swiftly follow, which will serve as a key catalyst for the financing and development of the Project.”
Atlantic Lithium’s Ewoyaa Project, located in Ghana’s Central Region, is expected to become the country’s first lithium-producing mine. The company published a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) in July 2023 and subsequently secured an Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) permit in September 2024 and a Mine Operating Permit in October 2024.
The project is being developed under an earn-in agreement with Piedmont Lithium Inc. and forms part of Atlantic Lithium’s wider portfolio of lithium assets across Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire.
