Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (ACMC) is dedicated to discovering and developing vital mineral resources. The company primarily operates in Brazil, concentrating its efforts on projects involving essential minerals. Its varied holdings largely consist of sites abundant in rare earths, graphite, titanium, copper, and nickel – all categorized as strategically important minerals. Additionally, some of its mineral rights for copper and rare earths potentially contain uranium, another mineral deemed critical. While ACMC's main strategic emphasis is on progressing these critical mineral assets, its only current source of income comes from a quartzite mining operation. The company also possesses a permit to initiate an iron ore mine, with operations scheduled for future commencement.
Atlas Critical Minerals Defines South America's Largest, Highest-Grade Reported Graphite Resource: 24.2 Million Tonnes, Including 17.2 Million Tonnes Indicated at 5.73% Graphitic Carbon
Atlas Critical Minerals reported a maiden S-K 1300 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Malacacheta Graphite Project in Brazil: 17.2 Mt Indicated at 5.73% Cg and 7.0 Mt Inferred at 5.40% Cg, roughly 1.36 million tonnes of contained graphite from just one of three tenements.
The company claims this is South America's largest reported graphite resource, with an Indicated grade about 25% above the 4.6% Cg at Graphite Creek, Alaska, the largest known U.S. graphite deposit.
All 21 drill holes hit mineralization, including 17.30 meters at 10.62% Cg, and only ~2.5 km of an ~11-km corridor has been drilled, leaving substantial expansion potential.
A Preliminary Economic Assessment is targeted for Q2 2027; concentrate samples have been qualified by a U.S. lab for EV battery and nuclear reactor use.
