In this episode, we chat with Neil Herbert, Chairman of Atlantic Lithium, a junior miner that is looking to develop Ghana’s first Lithium producing mine. They are targeting first production in 2024. Neil is an experienced advisor and investor in leading growth companies from start-up, through to IPO and development. During his career, he has been involved in a number of mining companies in Africa. 

He is going to talk us through Atlantic Lithium and how they are on course to become Ghana’s first lithium mine.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Ewoyaa is an exceptional lithium project. It is 100% spodumene, which the processors prefer.
Getting the mine on stream is going to be simple because all the key components are already in place.
There is a strong workforce, great infrastructure, and good support from stakeholders.
Ghana has a very long mining tradition. The government understands the industry.
Ghana is actively trying to diversify into mining other minerals. The compliance bar is high but managed fairly so it is not hard to navigate that requirement.
The project has already grown by a third and has the potential to grow again.
The price of Lithium is soaring so Ewoyaa’s low operating costs mean profits will be high.
All of the current data points to there being a deficit of lithium over the next decade or so.
Atlantic Lithium is already well financed and has the groundwork laid for further financing should it be needed.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Ewoyaa is exceptional in that it's an all-spodumene project…it's the most desirable in terms of the recoveries, it's what the converters prefer. ´

‘the resource just gets bigger and bigger. We increased it from 20 million tonnes to 30 million tonnes.’

‘Any new mines that can be bought forward on a short-term timeline are particularly welcome. Ewoyaa fits in nicely into that, with first production in 2024.’
