Construction Set to Begin at Ghana’s First Lithium Mine
Atlantic Lithium has received all required permits to begin construction at its flagship Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana. The company obtained the mine operating permit, land use certificate, environmental permit, and water use permit, completing the approval process.
Ewoyaa Targets 365,000t/yr of Spodumene Concentrate
The Ewoyaa project will operate with a mine life of 12 years. Atlantic Lithium expects a steady-state output of 365,000 metric tonnes per year of spodumene concentrate. The site will operate at a competitive all-in sustaining cost of $675/t and a C1 cash operating cost of $377/t, FOB Ghana Port.
US-based Piedmont Lithium owns a 22.5% stake in the project. Piedmont, which plans to merge with Sayona Mining in the first half of 2025, holds an exclusive offtake agreement for 50% of Ewoyaa’s annual spodumene production at market prices.
Strategic Role in Global Lithium Supply Chain
The Ewoyaa project is strategically located near Ghana’s coast, providing efficient access to export markets. It will help supply lithium for EV and battery markets as global demand rises.
Ewoyaa is Ghana’s first construction-ready lithium project, entering the global lithium supply chain.
