Atlantic Lithium Limited has announced a solid financial standing with A$5.4 million in cash and no debt as of June 30, 2025, underscoring its strategic financial management amid ongoing development at the Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana.
The company’s latest quarterly cash flow report, released this week, provides a detailed snapshot of operations and fiscal strategy during a challenging period for lithium markets.
Despite volatility in global lithium prices, the company reaffirmed its focus on advancing the Ewoyaa Project. Exploration, feasibility studies, and development-related activities accounted for A$2.9 million in expenditure during the quarter.
Keith Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium, emphasized the company’s proactive stance in shaping sustainable project economics.
“I am pleased to report on the progress made in our discussions with the Ghanaian government to seek fiscal terms in respect of the Ewoyaa Mining Lease that reflect the current lithium pricing environment and that enable the Project to deliver value for shareholders and significant benefits for Ghana and Ghanaians.”

Muller noted that these talks aim to ensure the Ewoyaa Project remains resilient through prolonged pricing downturns while achieving the shared objective of first spodumene production in Ghana.
A crucial pillar of the company’s financial strategy continues to be its co-development agreement with Piedmont Lithium Inc.
During the quarter, Piedmont injected A$1.5 million into the project, bringing total contributions for the year to A$6.8 million. This strategic partnership has proven vital to sustaining project momentum in the face of fluctuating market conditions.
However, the report also acknowledged the need for prudent financial management, given that the company’s current cash reserves offer a funding runway of only 1.4 quarters.
Atlantic Lithium confirmed it has taken several internal measures to mitigate spending, including cost-cutting throughout the June quarter and tighter control over operational expenditures.
Cost Cuts, Leadership Shift, Funding Talks
In line with these cost-saving strategies, the company implemented a number of organizational changes. Among them, Neil Herbert has stepped down from his role as Executive Chairman to become Non-Executive Chairman.
Additionally, management salaries have been reduced, headcount has been rationalised, and spending has been curbed on non-essential activities to conserve capital.
“While we await parliamentary ratification of the Mining Lease, we continue to manage costs to ensure that the Company can survive the current lithium downturn and be in the best position to capitalise on a price recovery.”

He also welcomed the government’s commitment to review and revise terms under the Mining Lease through the necessary ratification process, as confirmed recently in Parliament by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources.
A central piece of the company’s funding strategy hinges on its ongoing discussions with Ghana’s Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF), which is expected to commit US$27.9 million in exchange for a six percent contributing interest in Atlantic Lithium’s Ghanaian subsidiaries.
Although the agreement remains under non-binding Heads of Terms, the company views it as a key component in de-risking project development and securing long-term viability.
Operationally, Atlantic Lithium reported quarterly outflows of A$213,000 in staff costs and A$694,000 in corporate and administrative expenses.
Investing activities consumed A$1.41 million, mostly directed toward advancing the Ewoyaa Project.
Despite the drawdown, the company indicated that it expects to maintain its current level of operating cash flow and retains the ability to access additional financing under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, if necessary.
As Ghana positions itself to become a leading hub for battery minerals in West Africa, Atlantic Lithium continues to play a central role.
The Ewoyaa Project, the country’s most advanced lithium initiative, is viewed as a cornerstone of Ghana’s strategy to diversify its mineral export base and integrate into global clean energy supply chains.
Muller reiterated the company’s long-term commitment to delivering the project with a focus on shared benefits.
“Through these discussions, we are working alongside our Ghanaian stakeholders to chart a path to delivering a robust operation at Ewoyaa, capable of withstanding prolonged periods of weakened lithium pricing.”
Keith Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Lithium
Looking ahead, Atlantic Lithium remains cautiously optimistic. With prudent financial oversight, strategic partnerships, and strong stakeholder engagement, the company is positioning itself to navigate current market challenges while staying aligned with Ghana’s energy transition and industrial development goals.
